Paradise Motel has been placed at 7:15 and G

So I got a ticket and not a vehicle pass. I am considering buying a $1200 ticket along with a vehicle pass and then simply reselling the $1200 ticket for face value. Any thoughts on this? I really don't want to do all my prep only to not be able to get a vehicle pass. You may find it hard to resell...

Thanks BDV for setting this up. Question - I have a couple of rather large vehicles to park (40 foot and 36 foot) overnight. We've been staying at Boomtown because they have such a large parking lot that can fit oversized vehicles. Do folks know if Sands have a lot that would fit large vehicles? DSC...

You know that there is nothing wrong with a camp that comes in after gates opens and finds a spot to set up. Our camp did this the first couple of years we went. We would tell folks the general area / street we were going to look for space and to come find us when they arrived. Heck, with that damn ...

Assuming the data that would tend to show that scalping is quite limited then you are probably correct.

Nicely written and informative. I'm particularly glad to see: [*] Be realistic about your needs - account for infrastructure, camp members tents, and parking all the vehicles that will come with your campmates WITHIN your camp .  Don't expect to be able to spread out or park elsewhere. I know this ...

An "effective" name on ticket system would also potentially decimate camps - since many campmates who are unable to get tickets in the initial sale (for a variety of reasons) would simply be out of luck without an aftermarket. A longtime (90s) burner friend at work suggested that STEP might be more...

Actually the data does not agree there is significant scalping: 2015 BRC Census . The BORG will also have proprietary data mining on the ticket database, credit cards and gate ticket scans. The image below shows that olly 2.8% of tickets were sold above face value. It shows only .6 were from third ...

Ever since tickets sold out for the first time "back in the day" we've had the yearly mess of the main sale and then subsequent ticket scalpers selling a quantity of those tickets through various outlets. Various efforts are made to verify profiles, invalidate tickets sold above face value and disco...

Question for folks that DID get tickets: were you in the "Waiting room" prior to noon or did you click on the link at noon or after?

Easiest. Sale. Ever. (Well, since the days you could wander into Sports Basement or Distractions anytime you wanted ...)

Or another thought .. If you have a camp that wants to split into two camps, or take a year off or even burn your camp to the ground and start something brand new with a different mix of people? With DGS tickets being so valuable, there is at least a feeling that you don't want to break a camp apart...

So I’ve been following the plight of a couple of camps who, although they have been playa traditions for ages, choose for various reasons to not apply for theme camp placement. Some camps like to “fly under the radar” for some, ahem, fishy reason perhaps. Some like to do some sort of guerrilla art. ...

Our sub camp of MDF's village had a courtyard area in the center of our space. We purposefully planned that space to be open and used it on dye day for drying space and to use in the evenings with a fire ring and also our burn barrel clearance. I had to chase off several people from setting up in t...

I managed to keep an ice cream cake frozen with dry ice from Thursday (EE) till the following Friday with dry ice. I did have people bringing me more dry ice through the week though.

Some good advice here. Be forewarned that you'll want to make your RV reservation ... well honestly you wanted to have made it no later than December, but definitely ASAP, and that they will charge you many many times the usual summer rate. All RV rental places within hundreds of miles of the event ...

Thanks for all the advice. My main concern would be shitting up my bike. We'll be carrying everything else we need to live, and a weeks worth of food isn't a problem. We could also try to arrive early to avoid traffic, would highway 34 be better traffic wise? I think I could get a friend to bring s...

Hey thanks guys for setting this up! One question - does anyone know what their parking is like for RVs and other large vehicles? I have a 36' RV and a 40' bus to park overnight.

I never got to sample any of your wasabi infused treats but it was nice having y'all as neighbors last year. Your camp was just behind our, Paradise Motel.

Ah the yearly ritual of the first day of ticket sales clusterbleep. Back in the day, it was everyone clamoring for the $140 first tier tickets the second tickets went on sale. Which sometimes would be delayed for days. And the system would always freeze up. Aside from the promo code snafu things wen...

Other campers are getting through now, folks try again. Looks like ONLY the codes for camp leaders were working at first. VVIP queue?

I am also camp leader and I'm the only one that could buy tickets.

We know there are still some code issues happening. Putting a fix in place. Plenty of tickets available, don't panic!

By entering the code before noon and getting the error message, you got that info cached in your web browser. The way browsers work, you need to clear your cache manually. Close the browser windows with that site on the screen and clear your cache, then go back and try again. Tril just FYI, I've ha...

We are getting LOTS of people from my camp getting invalid promo code. Even after clearing cache AND from folks that hadn't logged in before noon.

Eric - You sly dog!

We have some str8 couples coming up with us this year. Tell ya what, you get the girlfriends to run off with you ....

lordy, is our debauchery that infamous now? It still astounds me how many str8 guys will show their junk to a bunch of gay guys just to get a snow cone sooner!

I know a chunk of your SF crew, yet somehow I've never made it to the Motel. I really need to try harder this year. Hey you should! We've replaced the USS Nancy Reagan with a newer pink RV, the USS Barbara Bush! https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/1012020_392214724233537_20743713...
