Got my ticket - but not really

[LittleJack]

I wasn't home to receive the delivery yesterday, so today at lunch I went down to the Post Office to pick up my package. Inside was my receipt, a survival guide, a vehicle pass, a postcard, and an Atomic Fireball.

But no ticket.

Has this happened to anyone else? Ticketfly's support line doesn't open until 2pm PST, so I'll call them in a couple of hours. I've also contacted BM ticket support via their web form.

I think it happened to someone on here last year. Deep breaths. You have time to resolve it.

Also, did you order in two separate transactions? Even with the same address, if there's two transaction numbers, they'll ship separately.

I just spoke with Ticketfly customer support. The person with whom I spoke had to relay everything back and forth to their manager, with whom I was unable to speak directly. She then told me that they hadn't been trained on Burning Man tickets, which was a bit of a shock since they are the sole vendor for some 68,000 of said tickets, so you'd think they'd be trained in this.

I received a not very encouraging "We'll look into this and email you when we have an answer". I asked for a timeframe and was given a very vague "Could be a few days..."

I'm glad this is happening in June and not August!

Yes, I recall reading about this occurring a time or two last year (it may have been the year before) and also one person received an extra ticket in their envelope, so it happens.

ticketsupport@burningman have a good solid record of making things right.

As VC said.. just breathe

Good luck LittleJack

In the spirit of full honesty and transparency, I'm a bozo. I'm tempted to quote Shakespeare, from Much Ado About Nothing: "O that he were here to write me down an ass! but, masters, remember that I am an ass; though it be not written down, yet forget not that I am an ass."

I was cleaning out my car, and in the process I removed the front floor mat (which actually requires unscrewing it in two places). and lo and behold, my bloody ticket was UNDER the floor mat. I'm not sure how that happened, and if you'd asked me before I'd have said that it was impossible, but there it was.

I just wanted to let the community know that Ticketfly did not screw up the order, this was user error pure and simple.

Abashedly,

Well that's a huge relief! Just imagine - if you possibly can - how bad it would have sucked if you couldn't go because of no ticket, THEN found it down there afterwards!!!

All I can imagine is that it twirled out of your envelope sight unseen when you opened the envelope, and the ticket's so thin it slid under the mat. But . . . yeah, that's crazy.

Glad your issue was resolved! That could have been REALLY bad . . .
