I know it's stating the obvious, but any potential rideshares will need to have their own early arrival pass, dated for August 18 (or earlier). They will also need to have physical tickets in-hand (not will call, since the box office will not open until Wednesday 8/21 at noon).

Trilobyte,
Where is it written that will call does not open until wed 8/21 at noon? I will have an early arrival pass that states I can arrive on Mon 8/19 (I am helping to construct a theme camp). My ticket is at will call, so I went to the BM Ticket FAQ site. There (under will call) it said:

"4. I have early arrival permission, when can I pick up my will call ticket order?
Your early arrival pass will state the date you can arrive to pick up your will call tickets and give you full details on the earliest you can arrive. Read the early arrival pass information very clearly."

My conclusion from that is (was) that will call is open on Monday. Can you clarify the "obvious" which I am missing? Many thanks.

"Wednesday, August 21, 2013 At 12pm (noon) PDT, Box Office/Will Call Opens!"

Edit:I just looked at last years EA and it says "If you arrive before (Wednesday@noon) you must already have your paper ticket in hand to gain entrance"

Many thanks Just Joe. I skipped the calendar and went straight to the FAQ. Duh. The FAQ/Answer could be written more straightforward. According to my theme camp administrator, the paper ticket language is not on this year's EA (but maybe the fine print did not get read). I have not seen the actual EA yet.

Will call doesn't open until Wednesday at noon... You will not be able to gain access before that without a physical ticket, even with an EA pass. Best of luck.

Woot to those already heading out to the playa!

I guarantee you that the box office will not be open until Wednesday at noon (as it's been for the last several years, and is posted on the tickets page), and physical tickets are required for entry to Burning Man before that time.

Thank you everyone. I am now crystal clear on when will call opens (Wed 8/21 at noon). :D
The answer to the FAQ should be amended to be crystal clear as well.
