re entry

Post by uncle sticky » Mon Sep 01, 2014 7:57 am

I've used reentry in the past, and will probably do so in the future. Living in Reno makes our not such a big deal to run home and drop that compressor off on Tuesday (and shower, Crap in a toilet), so I'm wondering how it changed this year, if it did. I did reentry in 2012, and it was just a wristband and your ticket, but with scalpers now a part of the event, have they tightened it down?

Re-entry is still a thing as long as you pay the twenty bucks on the way out and don't mind waiting in a line again coming back.

Do you have to get back in the main line upon re entry?

Yes. We greeted in many that had 'gone out' for the day.

People were trying to buy considering buying used tickets and re-entry passes from people who had left early.

I've moved this to 2014 Stories, since it's more of a general discussion.

It's kind of a win win for everybody is you can exchange those passes. I like to go early, then leave around Thursday/Friday. Lots of folks only want to be there for the very time I don't. BLM has their population cap, Burning Man already has a sold out event, I get to go, but not deal with getting told to sit down or shut up or having somebody puck on my car. Win!

I've given some thought to this scenario. Although I have to admit, in my daydreams it was identical twins switching places. And IDs. Not strangers and money changing hands.

were you able to....
I didn't go this year, so I was wondering how things had changed, if they had. In the past I've left, and stopped off at the office on my way out. Paid $20, I think, got a wrist band, headed back home. Re-entry was simple. Put wristband on, present now scanned ticket, on our way. I wasn't asked for i.d. (tickets didn't match my name anyway, purchased from a friend), and they didn't scan the tickets. I saw several posts from people looking for wristbands this year.
