You knew it was coming but did you know it was going to be $650.00? That’s right! Higher price for the benefit of having that tickie in your hand. The upside, the money goes to The Burning Man Project… yeah.
From the JRS:
Early-birds can participate in our Holiday Sale, which allows folks to buy tickets in time for holiday gifting. PLEASE NOTE: Holiday Sale tickets are priced dramatically higher than our regular tickets will be and Black Rock City, LLC will donate 3% of the price of each ticket sold during this early Holiday Sale to the Burning Man Project, a new nonprofit dedicated to spreading Burning Man culture around the world. (In addition, Black Rock City, LLC makes other substantial contributions throughout the year to support the Burning Man Project, including contributing the proceeds from fundraising events and many other forms of support.) So ... here are the details: - 3000 tickets will be offered at $650 each for the Holiday Sale. - In order to participate in this sale, you must pre-register at: http://tickets.burningman.com/registration-holiday2013.html - Registration is open NOW and will close at noon PST on Wednesday December 19th. - Those pre-registered will be able to participate in the first-come first-served sale on Thursday December 20th, starting at noon PST. - You may purchase a maximum of 4 tickets per person. - These tickets are not eligible for STEP, but are transferable (you are welcome to resell them on your own, if you wish). - The only payment types accepted are Mastercard or Visa credit cards, or debit cards with either the Visa or Mastercard symbols. If you don't have one of these cards, you will need to obtain a one-time use card. - Physical tickets will be shipped between June 1 and July 15, unless you opt for pick-up at Will Call in Black Rock City. (We will not be implementing identity-based ticketing (e.g. name-on-ticket) ... for more information, see this blog post from Larry Harvey: http://blog.burningman.com/?p=23887.)
