Ticket Crush on ePlaya - how to respond

Post by some seeing eye » Thu Jul 16, 2015 6:53 pm

If you look back at 2014 or earlier, there will be a desperate crush of new ePlayans looking for tickets even into the event. It is extremely unlikely we can help them get the golden ticket.

But we can encourage them to become more involved in ePlaya as a good source for preparation for their maybe future burns or participation in regionals and year-round person-person burner community.

Or you can block all that in your profile by joining the user group that filters all that out.

If only Greeters spanked instead of hugged.

Oh, that's right, liability.

Damn it. You beat me to it.

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Come through the gates between 8am and noon on Sunday. I'll spank that ass. 8)

I'm giving this a nudge over to the Tickets Discussion board, since that's a better fit.

Digital, where do you camp? I think I'll have a rave at your camp Sat, (before opening), from 7 to 9pm. Then we all have to turn in early for work the next morning. Last year I heard the parties on Saturday night from in my sleeping bag.

This sounds a lot like 'Encouraging New or newer Eplaya participants'.

I spanked 80% of the people I greeted in 2010. That was before I got the memo. :lol:

Thanks, but that wouldn't fly with the higher-ups. We are a very low-key camp with no name.

YESS! I suppose there's still Gayte. They lit the memo on fire. :D

What, and miss the stories? No way! It's better than television. On a more serious note, I wrote a thread about ticket requests on eplaya a while ago.

Right. Like there isn't enough demand for tickets already...

Digital, You're so funny. You thought I was asking. See you there. I'll be the one dressed like a poodle with a boom-box on my shoulder.
