Answers to Dumb Questions, But Afraid They Will Believer You

Answers to Dumb Questions, But Afraid They Will Believer You.....

Question: Do I need a vehicle pass if I fly in?
Answer: No. If you fly in to Burning Man, you do not need a vehicle pass. However, if you skydive in, you do not need either a vehicle pass OR a ticket.

Since the answers are apparently going to include "humor", I'm moving this to Open Discussion so no-one gets confused into thinking it's real advice (ie: skydivers do, in fact, need tickets).

Tickets yes, but do they need to wait in the will call line?

Edited to correct: YES, but it is the airport will-call line ("Customs") -- Not the one on Gate Road. Therefore, the line is much shorter.

http://88nv.burningman.com/airport-life/
Terminal:
Newly arriving passengers may be met after they have cleared Customs. All pilots and passengers arriving for the first time must proceed to Customs to have their tickets processed before entering the event. Departing pilots and passengers must proceed to their aircraft via the Departure Gate. Pilots and passengers will not be allowed ramp/ tie-down area access without a wristband / “Visa”. Please contact a Customs Agent for Visa.
edit2: Add quote and fix link.

Citizen 1: I saw a bit of trash in the loo and now I'm telling everyone to zip the doors if they see even a wee bit of trash.
Me: uh no, just when someone crapped on the seat or its night and full and will be a hazard by morning.
Citizen 2: ok, I'll just zip all the doors!
Me: < le sigh>

It's a paradox, a lucky skydiver needs a ticket, while the unlucky skydiver really doesn't need a ticket to show up on the playa.
