In 2019 one of our camp members had an old email he could no longer access, as his Burner profile email. We found out immediately after the sale closed. All the channels we tried replied that it was too late to do anything once the sale ended. Good luck to you

You tell your team lead: “I gone done fucked up”!

Then you ask your team lead: “If anyone else that didn’t fuck up can’t go when it’s time to go, can I please, please, please (insert your favorite groveling) buy their ticket”?

Then proceed per usual as if everything is A-OK.

I’m pretty sure someone gonna flake, no?

Yes, as said, we continued with the plan of this person going, and reached out every step of the way looking for tickets. The committal, and understanding we would bring it, led to getting tickets down the road. It was a shock, and a learning lesson.

This year I emailed everyone using their Burner profile email address, and pretty much demanded all reply using the email, a week before the sale, to make sure we didn't screw up with the emails.

Your camp lead hates you right now. Do anything you can to get back in their good graces.

When I'm fortunate enough to be included in this sale I always buy 2 because I know I will be able to sell it. More is better. And yeah, if you just flaked then your lead is none too happy about that I'm sure because that could have gone to 1 or 2 others who would help build the camp. When you stop and think why they exist I'd say they have every right to be a little peeved and may have wrote you off for next year.

Shit happens. Hopefully you can still snag one & prove to them that you will be a good choice for one next year.

If not I'd recommend helping out as much as you can if you snag a regular ticket.

And if that doesn't happen you can put all the gas money you're going to save in to next years cool stuff.

Best of luck.
