Re: Tickets?
So, while we're waiting for the Sparkle ball to drop with ticket information, let's have fun and play a game that it goes like this:
post what time you think the announcement will be made. The person with the closest time without going over wins!!
What do you win you ask? Bragging rights to having the right answer and a slap on the back from friends and family!
My guess is 5:01 pm PST today.
C'mon! Don't be a poop!
Play to winnnnn!

Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

JRS has a tendency to drop after I've left the office, but before I get home.

Re: Tickets?
My guess: Never. Larry Harvey and his stoned brain-dead minions will be too high to accomplish even this simple of a task. Why do you suppose it's taken so long for the Theme to be announced, hmmmm?

Re: Tickets?
This is a potentially fatally flawed game. It takes time to send out all the JRSs, so some people will get theirs before others.

Re: Tickets?
Meh, personally I'd say don't be a poop and get caught up in punditry and speculation. 
The emails, blogs, and whatnot will be out in the wild soon enough.
Fortunately, the new email server we're using for the JRS takes quite a bit less time than the old way.

Re: Tickets?
I live in a parallel universe. Tickets went on sale Jan. 20th, and sold out in 1 hour. BM 2014 was dusty and hot. I stopped back here to tell you it sucked, don't go. It was better in 2015.

Re: Tickets?
I already got my ticket from Larry. I called him and he sent it right out. He told me the theme too but made me swear not to tell anyone. It's NOT Fertility 3.1.

Re: Tickets?
Just the info I was hunting for! Thanks to you and everyone else (esp. Trilo's great activity on this thread) I will be taking the morning off of the 12th/26th. Sign up for that JRS if you haven't already fellow noobs. As a first timer being worried about getting a ticket and other info it's surely eased a chunk off my worried mind.
burner von braun wrote:You're doing fine cosmic-honey. The only other thing I can think of at the moment (if things are similar to last year) is to realize that on the day and time that the tickets go on sale you'll want to be in front of a good stable computer with a reliable internet connection, possibly for several hours. That might mean that you could need to take time off from work or whatever, depending on your personal situation. There will be a lot of info, and plenty of people willing to help around here as we get closer. ..and always pay attention to Trilo, he is wise!
Other than that, relax, stay up to date, and enjoy the ride!

Re: Tickets?
Welcome to eplaya mrpieterson!
The 12th of Feb will be for Directed Group Sales (theme camps, artists, typically veterans who bring the big camels) Unless you are contacted, it's not you.
Unless I'm mistaken about your circumstances, what you will want to do is be ready, in front of your computer, on Feb 26, noon PST for the Individual Sale (max of 2 tickets). The prior registration process for that is from Feb 20 noonPST to Feb 23 noonPST. You can register anytime in that window, and there is no crunch, though I recommend not waiting until the last minute.
If you are able to afford more expensive tickets and help the cause, ..see PreSale
First step though, fill out your burner profile
This will all become much more clear in your mind in the next few days.
Good luck!

Re: Tickets?
I must thank you once more for clearing up the group sale tickets and the window for registration. I thought if you were part of any group/camp (i.e. MN regional community or BB&B) and coordinated with them you could get those tickets on the 12th. Seems I gotta be a bit more thorough in my readings, hah.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Re: Tickets?
Yes, it is a good idea to become involved in your regional group. You can meet local burners, and open up potential avenues. It could be that indeed some of them may be involved in the Directed Group Sale, or point you in the direction where you might become a part of such a group..
