Wait, I don't think that pic you posted was of lake Lahontan... was it Elliot?

Typically the seasonal lake never really gets deeper than a few feet, and I don't think the water would ever get to be a nice and clear if people were mucking about in it.

It's probably worth pointing this out, since you may see random grumbles both here on the board and elsewhere on social media. Many (myself included) are noting that within their circles of friends, it seems like fewer people were able to get tickets in the main sale this year than in previous years...

I'm happy to announce that the 2018 ticket boards are now open. If you have tickets or vehicle passes to offer please post on this board , and if you're seeking tickets or passes yourself then post in this board . Before doing either, all ticket seekers and sellers should READ THIS POST . If seeing ...

Please read through the following information before posting in the Tickets Offered or Tickets Wanted boards. TICKET (AND VEHICLE PASS) SELLERS You may list Burning Man tickets and vehicle passes for sale on ePlaya at a fixed price (no auctions or 'best offer' listings, and no conditional sales) , n...

@Jackass - BvB is right, only the presale has an event ticket requirement on the order. @turquoisekestrel - the secure ticket exchange does not have an allotment of tickets sitting in it (like a regular ticket sale). It is dependent on people contributing their tickets if their plans should change a...

One of my campmates just finally got through... initially it showed a vehicle pass, but something errored out and upon return there wasn't anything available. It's disappointing, but I'm confident that she and her partner will find what they need with time to spare. Remember, stay tuned (and please ...

Scamming codes does happen, you'd be surprised at how many people post screen caps or share copies of an email without thinking about the implications. I should imagine though, that the people who pull that stunt run into another obstacle down the road. At some point after the sale, Burning Man will...

I'm hearing the first reports of sold out notices as well. Hang in there, remember that tickets which are in a cart that does not check out (expired card, etc) will time out and re-enter the pool after 20 mins. Good luck!

No idea, illy.

For those who do get through.... FFS, do NOT post pictures that show your order # or other personal details.

@bigbait - send an email to ticketsupport@burningman.org with all the pertinent details, order #'s and screen shots if you have them. No guarantees, but if anyone is able to help it would be them.

I've seen a handful of posts on social media from ppl who got through only to realize that they did not register for the sale... d'oh! For them, anyways..

Good luck. and have that email with your code handy in case the form asks you to re-enter it.

I've seen a number of people posting in various places that they've gotten through. Keep going and hang in there, historically if everything goes smoothly it can take upwards of half an hour to sell completely through.

If you'd attempted to get in before the system was allowing access to the waiting room you may need to clear your browser's cache.

I'm seeing reports all over of people getting through into the queue... good luck!

Food, playlists, and by all means go to the bathroom first

Happy ticket day and good luck to all those seeking!

As a rule, if you can afford to participate in the main sale... you're not a good candidate for the low income ticket program. Purchasing a ticket will most certainly disqualify your low income application. I can appreciate that you want to game the system and increase your chances, but it strikes m...

What AntiM said. Further, the account info needs to match what's in the burner profile (name/address/etc).

What Sham said. It's absolutely possible, but due to the nature of how cellular service works (where the connection breaks and resumes/reconnects multiple times during any given period), it does significantly increase the chances of losing your place in line. If you're buying tickets to an event tha...

What may likely happen is that multiple browsers on the same machine would result in you constantly pushing yourself further back in the queue. Most modern ticketing systems have a fair amount of sophistication built in, specifically to prevent people from a) using multiple browser tabs, and b) usin...

It's that time of year! Please use this thread to discuss all things related to the Main Sale for Burning Man 2018 tickets! Good luck to all those looking for tickets, and for those who are unable to participate (or who are not successful), please stay tuned for announcements in the near future abou...

For those who are new to the community and not sure how to proceed, I strongly suggest that you take the initiative and try to find your own camp. We all understand that getting to Burning Man, especially in that very first year, can be really hard. When you read about Burning Man and the Ten Princi...
