An update on refunds

Posted: Monday 17 January   » View on Website

We know you are awaiting news on refunds and here it is:

Refunds are now ready and are expected to be processed this week on Thursday/Friday. 

The amount that you will receive back is $170.42 per ticket – this is the original ticket cost of $195.00, less the pro rata share of costs incurred, which we have calculated to be $24.58 (the $4.75 booking fee is always non-refundable). This is made up of the $15 membership fee (non-refundable) and $9.58 per ticket for already incurred expenses such as Art Grants, insurance and site related costs such as consent and licences. For more info on where ticket money goes, see here (click on Ticket Revenue under More Ticketing Info). The exact financial breakdown will  be made available on the Kiwiburn website shortly.

Other important notes:

  1. Every ticket bought will be automatically refunded.
  2. The refund will be made to the debit/credit card used to make the original purchase.
  3. The refund will be made to the person who originally bought the ticket from Quicket – if you have transferred your ticket to someone else, you will need to pass their refund on to them.
  4. It may take up to 7 working days for the credit to be reflected in your account, so please be patient with the process!

Please remember that this refund process is separate to developing a potential first right of refusal policy for Kiwiburn 2023 tickets. This policy may be applied differently depending on whether the 2022 ticket was for  crew, artists, for example. We will look for some input from you and conduct community consultation before such a policy is finalised. So for now, everyone will be receiving a refund, but we are keeping track of prior allocations and will consider those in our strategy for ticket sales for Kiwiburn 2023.

 




 

Burner Camping in the Wairarapa

Posted: Monday 17 January   » View on Website

Still not sure what to do with the Burn weekend? There is a plan afoot for a Camp Out in the the Wairarapa. Burner spirit, a lovely site, all the friendly faces – go forth and radically self express!

The details: 

Friday 28 January 3pm – Sunday 30 January 3pm

Morrison’s Bush Camp Ground

Open invite. Chill vibes. BYO everything (including TP and water). One long drop toilet. Swimmable river. Shady Mānuka grove. Lush green grass. Vaccine pass required as a gathering over 50 people. Be responsible, Burner principles apply. Leave no trace.

This gathering has no committee or tickets, so be radically self reliant and turn up prepared! If you want to chat about it, start a thread on our FB Community page.




 

Paddock Radio Fundraiser

Posted: Monday 17 January   » View on Website

Paddock Radio, official radio broadcaster of Kiwiburn and staple of Burner and community events New Zealand over, is planning a light fundraiser afternoon concert on  7 February as a test for the new Paddock Radio touring truck setup, with performances by some local solo and loop artists featured on our playlist. If you have not had a chance to check out the new truck, you are missing out as it is quite the beast and a sight to behold! 

This event will take place in Whenuapai, in the backyard of Josh’s parents (Paddock Radio’s proprietor) so numbers will have to be super tight at 100 max. Expect a chill family vibe, and the event is set to run from 2pm until 7pm. 

Contact Josh if you’re interested in coming along or if you want to play. A $10 koha is appreciated and proceeds will go towards supporting NZ art, artists and creativity! Check out www.paddockradio.net/events for more details as they emerge.



That's it for this week! As always, if you'd like to contribute or volunteer some time, email us! Whether it's an item of news, gossip or reviews... we'd love to hear from you.
