Burning Man Tickets

~)'(~ Never Purchase a Ticket for More than Face Value ~)'(~

By now you all know that Burning Man tickets have sold out. Wide spread panic has spread over the globe as satirical papers write convincing articles about the impending doom of the Burning Man event itself.

Then you checked various online venues for tickets (ie. ebay, craigslist, ticketstub, ect.) only to find out that scalpers have gone mad, mad, mad. Well, dont forget YOU have the power not them. Hold firm, people. Stand your ground. NEVER pay more than face value + fees for any BM ticket EVER. Please pass this on. Spread the word. Remind people that you dont sell a BM ticket for more than face value. Force the greed to stop. We can do it if we band together.

Now you found a great deal online and you are ready to make your purchase. CAVEAT EMPTOR. Buyer Beware.

There are frauds out there. They are faking tickets. How can you tell if you have a real ticket? Read it straight from the BM website Click Here

There is yet another way to get a ticket home. LA Regional CORE project started a raffle several months ago for a BM ticket and lots of other shwag. These tickets are $5 each and support your regional project, SCARAB. Its a great cause, youre supporting art, AND you could win a BM ticket home.

To learn more about SCARAB Click Here.

To buy a Raffle Ticket Click Here.

The drawing will be on August 7th at the final screening of the BM Film Series at the Egyptian Theater. You do not need to be present to win, but it would be a whole lot more fun if you were. Imagine running down the isle with the winning ticket. It would be like winning an Oscar or the Lotto.

For BM Film Series information Click Here.

And I know there are several other art pieces doing similar raffles, so search around. Be creative. And please dont reinforce criminal behavior by purchasing a scalped ticket.
