Wouldn't it be PERFECT if, in the end, there was ONE ticket left over unsold on the last day, and Burning Man did NOT sell out this year after all?

This is not only very funny, but much in the spirit of Arnoldo himself . . . which is why everyone wants to see him in the dust.VultureChow wrote:They are closer now Arnoldo
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternity
I was so afraid Arnoldo
We were young and full of life and all of us prepared to burn
And I always had the faith
That tickets would come to all of us in turn.
/sorry. every time I saw "Arnoldo", I read it as Fernando. I'm finally drunk enough to do something about it.

The only plausible explanation for Arnoldo having gone missing is that he must have received his ticket, but is currently hospitalized due to a joy overdose.
Srsly. I know lack of communication is the standard, but I wish we knew whether the extra 1,000 have all made it out, or whether the process is ongoing.chica63 wrote:*refresh refresh *sigh*; refresh refresh *sigh*; repeat *

That information is above your pay grade!
You wanna raise?
There are a number of folks on this thread alone that are not going to be purchasing the offered tix (myself included). I received my notification on Sunday AM, so it will expire tomorrow AM. I would expect another wave of tix to hit then.goldsco wrote:Politely emailed some peeps, They actually got back to me very quickly...

So 1000 tickets = 12:17-12:18? I dunno, that really only makes sense if there are a lot more people in STEP than originally reported.goldsco wrote:Politely emailed some peeps, They actually got back to me very quickly...

I'm hoping that's the case. I'm really surprised that 1000 tickets don't even get us from the 12:17s to the 12:18s (where I'm at, incidentally). Ah well, I'm still optimistic.Dis)'(rack wrote:There are a number of folks on this thread alone that are not going to be purchasing the offered tix (myself included).

Agreed. It was reported some time in May that 1000 tickets had already been sold through STEP, I believe we were somewhere in the 12:10 to 12:13 range at the time. Even if every one of those people had ordered 2 each, that's 500 people out of the 2000. Who knows how many tickets were sold between then and when the 1000 ticket infusion was announced, but let's be conservative and say 200, each going to a person ordering 2. So, that's 600 people before this recent announcement, and let's say all the 1000 new tickets go to people ordering 2 each, that's 1100 out of the 2000 people. Which, goddamn, seems about right for the 12:17 - 12:18 timestamps.Tanzremix wrote:So 1000 tickets = 12:17-12:18?

I agree with you... and I'm trying to stay objective about this.OldSoulYoungBody wrote:I highly doubt that all went out all at once, because I got my offer at 5:30 am Monday morning, not Sunday... maybe just circumstancial
