Just got the email. "Unfortunately..." Nevertheless, I thanked them 'cause I know it was no easy process.
Ain't it a groove?

Re: Low Income + STEP Program.
I emailed them as well, sent a very nicely worded letter asking if my application had become lost in the shuffle, and that I hoped that things were not to stressful down at ticket HQ.
They sent me the same "wait two weeks" notice.
Then, as I was leaving work, I checked my email, and ... I get the "Congratulations, you have a 2015 BM ticket" email!
I was dancing and yelling, "I GOT IT, YES, YES, YES, I GOT IT!"
Now it's time to start living like a Catholic during Lent so I can save enough money to make this happen, plus all of the other stuff that I need to get sorted.
This eplayan is coming home everyone!!!!!!

Are you going to call it quits for this year?

Re: Low Income + STEP Program.
Timezone, I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get a ticket. Don't give up quite yet. Did you put a 'ticket wanted' post here on eplaya? (Explaining your situation.) Also post on Craig's List and all the FB pages relating to tickets wanted. It can still happen. You're a veteran burner and a long time eplayan. Good luck.
And congrats to Cyan

I'm sorry to hear you didn't get a ticket Timezone. I still haven't heard anything myself... 
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

No, I haven't heard from ticket support yet, however I'm hopeful! I like to celebrate with people who've received their ticket! Anytime is a good time to happy dance, for any reason or no reason at all! *happy dancing* See?MyPlayaUserName wrote:Does that mean you got your ticket, maryanimal?

Re: Low Income + STEP Program.
Thank you, I am so excited. I always treat my burn as if it will be the last burn I will go to, so I am, again, planning and preparing for this to be the best one yet. I'm up to my neck in projects, both big and small.maryanimal wrote:Congratulations CE! *happy dancing with you* I hope to see you on the playa this year! Wheeee!
I hope that you hear back from them soon, with good news.
Re: Low Income + STEP Program.
So I've been lurking this thread since April to see if/when people were hearing back....I finally got my 'Congrats' email yesterday and I started sobbing. Sending good vibes to all of you still waiting!

Re: Low Income + STEP Program.

Re: Low Income + STEP Program.
My cousin received his email two days ago and he did not get a ticket. Interesting since he has been unemployed because he was taking care of his mother.
He applied the third day applications were open.

It's not just how poor you are but what you'll bring to the burn.

Hope you to make it.
Re: Low Income + STEP Program.
I'm sending positive 'Maryanimal' thoughts directly towards BM HQ. It's crazy making.

Re: Low Income + STEP Program.
Thank you dogma. Thank you Ratty. I've sent them a few emails already. I don't want to push my luck. I've never had to wait this long to find out. I'm still being positive, kind of. We'll see what happens. If I don't hear anything by the end of the month, I'll send another email.

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
