Re: Scream if you received a STEP ticket
My buddy went camping over the 4th and got his ticket offer. It was going to go to a friend so whatever. Radical SELF reliance, right? If you cant be bothered to get your own ticket, its not on me to get you one.
Re: Scream if you received a STEP ticket
Still trying to scream, but my voice is a lil how do you say................
Re: Scream if you received a STEP ticket
I got a ticket, SCREAM!!! But it wasn't through STEP.
When I registered I had the notice saying I was Signed up for STEP around 12:20.
I have a friend that said they got signed up an hour after it opened. They got their tickets two weeks ago, but were not able to use one so sold it to me.
I'm only stating the facts as I know them. I'm not questioning the first come thing, just saying what I saw. Who knows what evil lurks in the minds of a Computer server?
But I"m going to Burning Man. Woo Hoooo

Please, don't do that. Plus, there's a good chance the BLM will take you off their land.

Re: Scream if you received a STEP ticket
Who would remove a loney lost girl with puppy eyes??!!
Nah, in all seriousness, if STEP doesn't pull though I'm just hoping I meet the right people on my way there. I heard a few times now about people selling tickets for the right price in the week leading up to BM?

Re: Scream if you received a STEP ticket
There have been in the past, but there is no way to know how many tickets there will be available this year in those last weeks - or how many people will be trying to get them. Please do not leave Reno without a ticket - the small towns along the way are buried, and the police will be removing people who are standing around with "tickets wanted signs" in Empire & Gerlach (and possibly ticketing as well). Tribal police will probably be doing the same in Nixon & Wadsworth.Gee-Banger wrote:Who would remove a loney lost girl with puppy eyes??!!

Extra traffic on already burdened roads, and aimless people in already burdened communities, put the entire event at risk. Don't be one of those people.

Re: Scream if you received a STEP ticket
Yeah, what he said.
And as some extra, woman-to-woman advice--get some skills beside manipulation with sex appeal. You'll need them in your 40s. And even in your twenties you'll like yourself better.

Re: Scream if you received a STEP ticket
Yeah, the plan is that if I don't succeed to get a ticket I just keep driving and turn the trip into an epic roadtrip, so don't worry about thatEric wrote:There have been in the past, but there is no way to know how many tickets there will be available this year in those last weeks - or how many people will be trying to get them.

Re: Scream if you received a STEP ticket
Ehhh, not sure where you get the idea from that I would have no skills besides manipulation sex appeal (unless you count puppy eyes as sex appeal, which makes me reconsider the looks my collie gives me everytime I eat an oreo...theCryptofishist wrote:Yeah, what he said.

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

Re: Scream if you received a STEP ticket
Good news: the OMG sale will get an extra 2,000 tickets for a total of 3,000. If STEP didn't work out for you (closing in 50 minutes), get in that OMG sale!

Re: Scream if you received a STEP ticket
My GF applied for her LIT quite late, in early May. She received notification that she would receive an LIT about 3 weeks ago. This will be her first trip to BM.

Re: Scream if you received a STEP ticket
Congrats to all those who received tickets through STEP! I know that there were many more who registered but were not successful, but the program is always 100% dependent on the number of tickets that get fed into it.
To those still looking, good luck in the OMG sale and the after-market!
