"60% of the work we do is dedicated to the year-round cultural programs." What does "60% of the work" mean? 60% of the org's expenditures?

From the BM Ticket page: "A 9% Nevada Live Entertainment Tax will be added to the price of all tickets and $8 of the $12 per ticket service fee. Will Call delivery is the only delivery method subject to this tax. The $12 Will Call delivery charge will be inclusive, meaning additional tax will not be...

Here's the final 2014 map for reference: http://blog.burningman.com/2014/10/environment/moop-map-2014-black-rock-city-will-rise-again/ What the heck happened on Esplanade this year? I think Opulent Temple has a pretty good case to get their placement back next year, assuming they want to come back. :)

Day 3 is out: http://blog.burningman.com/2015/09/tenprinciples/moop-map-2015-day-three-and-have-you-seen-this-flaming-flying-piano/ The strip along esplanade from 10 to 9 is interesting. Red closest to the street, then yellow, then green in the "private" parts of those camps. I'm wondering if parts ...

Since your name is on your ticket, I'm guessing that if you show up at the BX check in with your ID, you should be ok.

Sweet, now that this functionality has been implemented, print-at-home tickets shouldn't be too far behind. That would almost completely eliminate people showing up with bogus tickets, and eliminate the uncertainty of knowing if a ticket bought from a 3rd party is legit or not.

Does anyone know any way to contact BX besides the form on the webiste? Like is there a direct email?

I did write them last week and haven't heard back yet. I asked here just in case someone else had written them and already got an answer.

Does anyone know what the Burner Express will call hours are at the Reno airport? Also, if we're flying in Saturday and taking the bus to Playa Sunday, can my friend get her ticket from will call when we get in on Saturday, rather than on Sunday before we board the bus? Also, she has a Conclave tick...

Come hang out with us at Shady Asylum! We will be part of the Black Rock City Science Center village located at 8:15 and E. The main centerpiece of our camp is a large (60x60x60) triangular shade structure with a real grass lawn underneath!

Hi, I have a couple of questions regarding Burner Express. First, when does it normally sell out? I'm camping with a village this year, and since placement hasn't been finalized, I don't know if I'll have an EA pass. If I don't get one, I'd like to do Burner Express on Sunday. I'm just wondering if ...

Scalpers aren't really the problem, the problem is counterfeiters and more people picking up their tickets on-site than will call is able to handle. Mailing out STEP and OMG tickets this year will hopefully make a difference, but I reiterate that the ultimate solution will be print-at-home tickets, ...

FYI, people are posting on Reddit that the presale is still open for vehicle passes. I didn't register for the presale, so I can't personally confirm it. Presale as in Directed Group Sale? I was in DSG but don't see any option to get a VP. But I wouldn't be surprised because they announced it sold ...

There was a thread someone started on reddit after the fact: http://www.reddit.com/r/BurningMan/comments/2wcqu8/want_to_know_why_you_didnt_get_a_ticket_ticketfly/ Basically, if you looked at the page's source, there was a way to "click the button" before the button actually appeared. If you're askin...

Some interesting stuff on this reddit thread. Apparently it was possible to "hit the button" before the button actually appeared by digging in the javascript code. For the record, I'm not accusing anyone who expoited this of cheating. http://www.reddit.com/r/BurningMan/comments/2wcqu8/want_to_know_w...

It would be interesting to know the latest time that someone was able to click the button and successfully purchase tickets.

The queue page auto refreshed about once per minute. So, if you clicked the link before the sale started and didn't manually refresh, you could have been up to a minute behind. But yeah, it's not when you clicked, it's when the ticketfly server received your request. And there are factors that could...

Sounds like you have html turned off in your email client. Some clients do that by default. Once the sale begins at 12pm (noon) PST* on Wednesday, February 18, click this link to enter the sale: http://tickets.burningman.org/purchase/event/758499?promo=5LBA98T2 You can also enter the sale from a but...

Most of those "tickets" were on Stubhub before the sale today. Those people are banking that they'll be able to get a ticket for less than the $1000 (or whatever they're asking), and make a profit. There are 400 tickets for sale already on Stubhub for $1000 each. Vehicle passes for $400. $1800 profi...

TaTonka, doesn't sound like you did anything wrong. I'm sure Ticketfly's software uses some algorithim to approximate how much time it thinks it will take you to get to the front, but in the end all that matters is where it stuck you at the beginning when all 40-80k of us hit the green button within...

Sold out officially at 3:32 Central Time.

Strange, I was able to get a vehicle pass after people posted that they were sold out.

Finally! Got tickets!

edit: I was also able to get a vehicle pass, and that was after the post above that says they were sold out.

I see the same thing. Not sure what it means.

Is anyone else's wait time jumping all over the place? Mine has gone from less than a minute to 58 minutes to 16 minutes to 31 minutes to "the line is paused". What does "The line is paused" even mean?

I understand what you're saying, but if tickets can be transferred between accounts, then buyers can demand that the seller actually transfer the ticket to them, as opposed to just emailing them a pdf file. That would cut down on the numbers showing up with fakes, because people would be 100% certai...

You're right, you can't cure stupid. I would argue that if you're dumb enough to buy a print at home ticket now (as you said, they don't exist), then you probably don't have any business spending a week in the desert in August. My point above was that print at home would be a good idea, but ONLY if ...

I agree with the above post that box office/will call should absolutely be paid staffers, not volunteers. Also, removing the 4 shift requirement for volunteering would be a good start too. I checked box office on the volunteer questionnairre to get more info, but I'm not sure that I can commit to 4 ...

All of the major sports leagues (or at least MLB and NFL) do electronic transfer, and it works well. The way they do it is that you log into their site to transfer a ticket, and the person you're transfering it to gets an email from the sports team (not from the seller) with a link that will transfe...
