Will Call

Post by darkfred62 » Tue Aug 23, 2022 6:01 pm

Just a question.
So how well organized will "Will Call " be this year?

I just want to prepare myself for pleasurable experience or a total apocalypse.

I'm hearing they are telling early arriving folks with WAPs to print out paper copies since they are having problems with them at Will Call.

I don't think that will call could ever be as bad or drawn out as 2014 again... the wait was between 7-9 hrs IIRC. We managed in 7 hours, it was cool and dark the whole time, it could have been much worse with the sun out.

These days it might be an hour or two, but I wouldn't know because I never messed with will call again.
Sooner or later, it will get real strange...

Will Call is always a shitshow, just a question of degree.

Best to just embrace it and realize that the party already started in that long ass line.

Whiskey helps.

I’m first-time burner and I kinda confused with this will call... I’ve been charged and received only a QR code. I have to change it for paper ticket in the office right? No later than Aug 27? What if I’ll late? Will be possible to get in at Sunday?

Print out the email with the QR code on real paper and take that with you. Make sure you have a valid ID with name that matches the ticket purchase email.

Arrive at BM, follow the sign for Will-Call lot.

Park where instructed.

Breathe !!! You have arrived.

Go to the will-call line, get your ticket with the printed email receipt that has the QR code and your ID.

Hug all the new friends you you made in line, go to car, follow the flow to the gate.

Don’t speed, follow traffic laws and signs.
