Nobody knows if there will even be tickets, let alone what they'll cost, and anyone who says they do is lying.

While I hope that (A) more tickets are issued, and (B) they go into STEP, until there is official word from BMHQ (via JRS or the Burning Blog, as noted above) I won't believe anything about "new tickets" that I hear.

I have a feeling that the 12:16 queue is very, very large.. kind of like how the 12:08-:09 was. It's going to take a little bit to get through this one..

It's like the queue in walmart - the one where you use the best algorithms to find a queue that is expected to move faster and it ends up being slowest.

Except in WalMart you can careen your cart around at the last second to grab the shortest line. This case.. not so much.

Yes- my completely unscientific list also shows A LOT of 12:16s.. but bright side is that with that 12:16:32 just getting tickets, we're half way through it in about a week, right?
12:17:11 is so close I can almost taste it!!

12:16 is the huge coke-can-diameter, fissure-inducing, rock-hard turd coming out of the STEP anus.

To continue the evisceration of the dead horse(purely for scientific and divinatory purposes, of course) seconds are just like minutes in a timestamp. You have no way of knowing how many people a particular one contains, so we have no way of knowing if we're halfway through, almost done with or just starting the 12:16's. Also as had been previously stated,the servers sending the emails weren't synced to the same time, so even though minutes seem to be a fairly reliable way of determining progress so far we have seen some inconsistencies lately with both 12:16's and 12:17's reporting in the past few pages. As such, I would expect seconds to be a significantly less reliable way of determining one's location in The Q.

We just got our tickets! $340 each I think, we were 12:16 and we will see you at the Playa... and by some miracle of the Gods my work function that I was required to attend was CANCELLED! We lucked the fuck out.

Good to know you are rooting for us! I have not been posting in this thread as much lately---I am TRYING to wait until I get my ticket to post...so far, lots of obsessive inbox checking, but no dice.

We're all in this together. Let's hope it keeps moving. I've got train tickets, box truck reservations, dust masks burning a hole in my pocket.
Been sewing TONS of playa clothes. but so far, no ticket for me yet

OMG: VK got hers?! yay yay yay yay yay YAAAY! :) :)

VK: full time stamp was 12:16:xx?

Ahahahaha! VampireKitten got her tickets! Such tasty, tasty words you are eating . . . ;) Congratulations!

I hope to see you advising other virgins to get time off next year. :lol:

I don't know the exact seconds because it was a forwarded e-mail from my boyfriend's account. I do know I will have to miss a couple days due to work (which happens on the same days every year), but we will still be able to attend for at least 4 days before the man burns.

Spadge, you did it! 12:16 must have been a successful minute for the old servers. I'm hanging in there, timecode 12:16:59. So you 12:17ers, while you may get called in ahead, I'm likely to be one of the last to get a ticket before your time comes.
