Have I been I banned from Burning Man?

Post by sparr » Tue Jul 07, 2026 3:16 pm

Ahoy! Long time no see, ePlaya. I come to you with a weird question. Some rumors started circulating yesterday that have me a bit concerned. Apparently I am (or was?) banned from Burning Man and various other burns. This is news to me. I'm not sure how to go about officially confirming this. Who do I need to reach out to?

I doubt that this has happened and I wonder if it is even physically possible without a court order.
How would it even be enforced? A ticket on the secondary market, no ID required (and there shouldn't be).

If you are worried then reach out to Ticketing, Gate or Placers. I think that any ban would have to go through them.
Everyone is so politically fucked up that they're segregating themselves in the name of equal rights and liberation.

Was there an incident in which you might have been accused of something that would get you banned? Did you hear from police or the org about doing something questionable? What makes you feel you would be turned away at the gate?

No. No. Just rumors.

Mr Jackass, glad you continue to participate! I credit you for launching the great cultural course correction and navel gazing surrounding plug-and-play camps back in 2014.

BRC admits all varieties of rifraf and pirates.

I think after the zorb weirdness, Sparr is respected for his solar box truck and hot girlfriend. If you bring it this year, you should contact the Sustainability group and put it on the tour.

You’d be surprised how many times I have been told by random strangers on the internet that Camp THREAT has been banned from burning man…
