I am relatively new and this will be my 2nd burn. I am a computer engineer from way back when and my understanding of the current system is: it already is a lottery system, the technology is just not working. The basic premise is: 1. Everyone that has registered for sale has to login by 12 noon. The...

Has anyone heard of an instance where a ticket was transferred either before shipping or through will call that was not a valid ticket? As long as the ticket is transferred to your name through BM should increase your odds that the ticket is legitimate if purchased from a person you do know personal...

Is a picture of your drivers license on your phone good enough for playa bars? That coupled with I’m 63!

Does anyone have the 2018 Survival Guide pdf link? 2017 is still listed on BM web site.

I have already paid for 15 gal. I am taking 2 colapisble 5 gal containers. I plan to use 1 and keep refilling it and keep the other as backup. I asked a similar question a few months ago and was told you can keep going back and getting water while the incoming buses are running, Thur I think. I am s...

Leo, did you get an email?

No, no early entry is needed for Burner Express on Saturday. I am taking early bus on Sat.

I don’t recall reading anything about needing bug spray or defending angainst critters. Do any of these exist on the Playa?

I plan to take the Burner Express and need a box wine also. I have tried several lately and really like Vella. I have only tried the Cabernet though. You can get it at Walmart.

Lloyd, that would be great! Thanks.

Thanks everyone for all the replies!

From reading on ePlaya and watching YouTube videos, it seems the wait time can be very long for ice at Arctica. Is there a better time of day to go or is it busy all the time?

Forgot to mention bike. Already procured a bike to be picked up on the playa.

Yeah, the shower is a problem. No good answer for that. Plan on picking up a dish tub and using melted ice water and wash cloth for bath and then bath towel to evaporate water. And plenty of wet wipes.

I am in about the same boat. I committed last year to go this year so I have had a lot of time to think about the logistics. I contacted several theme camps but after diving into ePlaya I have decided to go solo. I did not want to commit the time required for my first burn. I searched and read all o...

Seriously, I am planing on the Burner Bus with 14 in lag bolts with a socket wrench to screw them in. I am old so no bull shit answers! I am depending on this to work. Is it?

I will be taking the Burner Express so that is why 2 poles. I plan on placing the poles diagonal with 2 ties for each pole and then tie down each of the other corners. I have 14 in lag screws for tie downs. Just need to decide on tarp material. Will be either 12 X 12 or 12 X 16 tarp. Based on the re...

Thanks.

For those who have taken the Burner Express Buses... If you purchase water, do you need to get all of your water when you first get there or can you come back in a day or so for the rest of it as long as the buses are still running inbound (Thurs I believe)? Is it possible to bring ice in a cooler o...

I will be putting up a 2 pole shade structure. Is a medium to heavy duty tarp better or shade cloth for this type of shade structure? Tarp provides better shade but may not do well in high wind whereas shade cloth lets some wind and sun through.

IMHO the ticketing process is not that bad. I am fairly new to BM and ePlaya but have purchased many tickets in the past from various sites for concerts, sporting events, etc. Several have committed about the clocks not being synced up with Ticketfly, I “think” what is happening is there is a 90 to ...
