Car entry problem
I will be traveling to burning man without my own mode of transportation. I will have a will call ticket is the only way to get it to be in a car with other people who have the same?
Re: Car entry problem
No, just easier.
Re: Car entry problem
Just make sure your driver knows in advance, as the car will have to wait for you to get through will call. Last year we had a will call passenger and it only added 15 minutes or so (out of about 4 hours) to our entry time on Tuesday.

Re: Car entry problem
Your vehicle can have a mix and match of people with tickets in hand or at will call. They just all need to have tickets, or the whole car will get turned around at the gate.
Use the rideshare board to connect with someone traveling through (or traveling from) wherever you'll be.

Re: Car entry problem
Last year, Will Call was a little detour before the Gate off to one side, and you were supposed to follow the signs and be in the appropriate lane. 
Make sure you have your ID with legal name and your Will Call confirmation number (printed out is good. I also stuck it to the back of my ID on a sticker in case I lost the paper).

Yes.
Last year it was on the right, before that on the left.

@ "Last year it was on the right, before that on the left."
Will Call was on the left as you approached in 2011. Lane choice as you approach is not that significant though. Gate has a dead zone that allows you to cross over to Will Call from any lane.

Crap! I cannot tell my right from my left. Even when I think about it, I get it wrong.
Sorry.

Re: Car entry problem
We jokingly directed folks to get into the far right lane for will call when asked last year. You'd not believe how many beers and other schwag we were given for our "help". We did this knowing that there was the cutover space before gate at the willcall lot. Would not have done it otherwise.....

Re: Car entry problem
If you are going to WillCall to get your ticket, do not leave your vehicle in line and expect to find it again. Make sure the vehicle goes through the cut into the WillCall parking lot. Once you have your ticket you can just hop back into your vehicle and get into line again from the Will Call exit. You will lose only 5 minutes doing this and it is worth it.
Gate will not let your vehicle wait for you at the gate. In fact, I have seen many vehicle ending up in D-Lot as a result.

Don't bore your friends with all your troubles. Tell your enemies instead, for they will delight in hearing about them.

a panty slap might be more effective, if not evocative.Savannah wrote:Indeed, sir!

Re: Car entry problem
With the right slapper this wouldn't be a bad thing.
Please be sure they are freshly laundered and tumble dried with scented dryer sheets.
