First Timer w/ Ticket ?

Post by DayWalker » Wed Apr 19, 2023 2:46 pm

Hello!

I'm pretty determined to finally make it to the Playa this year. Predictably, I was not determined enough to actually score a ticket through any of the sales. What's the success rate of getting one through the STEP program? Any and all tips, tricks or whatever are most welcome.

Thanks!

Register with STEP the microsecond it opens. Have your payment setup ready.

Make friends with other burners, real in person face to face friends, so if a ticket becomes available in the community they talk to you first.

Join your regional and volunteer.

Being a proven hard worker, contributor, and a person experienced burners think "this person would be a great burner" helps immensely.

Welcome to ePlaya, read all the preparation pages on the Burning Man website, get together your packing list, camping gear, and transportation plan, costumes as you like, and good luck.

When you say "payment setup", is there somewhere in my profile I set it up, or just have my CC out and typing gloves on?

Thanks for the reply!

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
