Difference between Sales

Post by Victor Santos » Sun Feb 05, 2023 2:38 pm

What is the difference between the Fomo Sale, Stewards Sale, Main Sale and OMG Sale?

Which one is the best?

Did you read https://tickets.burningman.org/?

The stewards sale is invite-only.

The best sale is the one you get a ticket from. There are an estimated 2x people wanting tickets to people getting tickets. The FOMO has the least competition. In years past, the main sale sells out in seconds, though it takes time to get through the queue, maybe 30-40 minutes, and you can be dropped from the queue - no sale.

If you don't get a ticket before, register with the STEP program the second it opens to buyers. Make friends with people in your https://regionals.burningman.org/ and volunteer on art builds too.

Yes, 12:00 noon Pacific Time

("Pacific Time zone-
The state of California lies in the Pacific time zone. Pacific Standard Time (PST) runs approximately from November thru March. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) runs approximately from April to October.")

Good Luck in the sale h0h0h!
