Hi There! I'm Ali, almost 35 year old that's wanted to experience burning man for about 10 years now! Tried for a couple years to get tickets with my best friend and have failed. Any tips or advice about how to get legitimate tickets without getting scammed would be appreciated! I am in Denver and am very into to joining groups to meet folks, even if we don't end up getting there this year. Much love to this group!

Join the STEP (Secure Ticket Exchange Program). It's secure and when people's plans fall through, tickets become available to purchase. Unless you've connected with people through your regional burn or know someone personally who has tickets, this is the only way to make sure you won't get scammed.
The truth is more important than the facts.

The Denver-area regional contacts are very helpful. You can find contact information for them here: https://regionals.burningman.org/region ... ca/denver/

That page also has a link to a couple of the local Facebook groups, etcetera. Keep an eye out for the "Virgin BBQ and Potluck" Bobalicious hosts every year in July.

There are also regional burns, both official and unofficial. The biggest is coming up in early June: https://apogaea.com/events/apogaea-2023/

Hey there, welcome to ePlaya!

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me
