Border Burner Meet and Greet

Border Burners – Welcome to 2017!

Will this be the year you mark BM off your Bucket List?

We are planning on hosting a meet and greet to reconnect with all of you, and help any newbies that might have questions or want to explore going to the playa this summer.

Sunday, March 19th, at the Hope and Anchor at 4012 N Mesa St in El Paso. We’ll be meeting at 1pm and we usually are in the back patio (if the weather is bad we may be inside).

Even if you think that you MIGHT want to go to Burning Man in August 2017, join us at this meeting and get to know more people who are burners at heart.

Those who have been to Burning Man are welcome to join us to help talk about the Burning Man experience. Let’s reconnect.

IMPORTANT THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW:

The general Ticket sale is the last week of March, but there are some preliminary steps we all have to take.

First, you have to first register for the general ticket sale on Wednesday, March 22, 2017 – Registration opens at 1pm El Paso Time. You have till Friday, two days later to register – registration closes at 1pm on Friday.

The general ticket sale is Wednesday, March 29, 2017 at 1pm El Paso Time.

Tickets are $425 each and vehicle passes are $80 each (you need one vehicle pass for each vehicle – a vehicle includes any attached trailers)

All sales require registration through Burner Profiles, so make sure your Profile is set up, complete, current, and that you know your log in details. (for info go to

https://profiles.burningman.org/ (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fprofiles.burningman.org%2F&h=ATMS5egx4GFaJKpA0SXcahpeUrw-ZBWAoIqHmniHHhDUzqQCe7Rv17LTx6FJEUJhpkUsLnAZeM_0sGsGuNf4XO8V019wl426VUDTSBU-Mcoy8bdRRayd1L4CbtErPRbBTNlDBQ9qV5YFcI_XfaeL&enc=AZNPQF3YdIYuuR7KLsYnhQWkLvWP4bQPIxk_1w9WEof7-QMlHxkvF_oR7tx3u9RqJJA&s=1))

Registering for a sale does not guarantee you access to a ticket or vehicle pass.

Buying a $425 ticket in a sale means you won’t be able to buy additional $425 tickets in a later sale—only one order per person and per credit card is allowed.

You may not use the same credit card to purchase multiple orders.

The name on the credit card used to purchase is the name on the ticket order.

MasterCard and Visa are the only credit/debit cards accepted.

All tickets bought through online sales are fully transferable and eligible for name changes.

Tickets and vehicle passes may only be resold for face value. Any tickets or vehicle passes being sold for above face-value may be canceled without notice.

VEHICLE PASSES

All vehicles driving into Black Rock City are required to have a vehicle pass displayed in the windshield. Motorcycles and towed vehicles are exempt from the vehicle pass requirement.

Vehicle passes do not allow a vehicle to drive within Black Rock City – when you reach your camp you are expected to park your car for the duration.

Vehicle passes will be available in each of the ticket sales.

Vehicle passes are restricted in each sale to a maximum of one (1) vehicle pass per order.

There will be approximately 27,000 vehicle passes available total, at $80 each, plus applicable fees.

DELIVERY, FEES & TAXES

During the purchase process, only orders within the US and Canada can select shipping. Will Call delivery is the only option available during sales for other international orders, but those in qualifying areas will be contacted directly with an option to upgrade their order to include international shipping. (Roughly 85% of our international purchases are in areas serviced.)

A 9% Nevada Live Entertainment Tax will be added to the price of all tickets and $8 of the $12 per ticket service fee. Will Call delivery is the only delivery method subject to this tax. The $12 Will Call delivery charge will be inclusive, meaning additional tax will not be added for choosing this delivery method ($1.08 of the $12 fee is built-in tax).

In addition to delivery fees, all orders are subject to processing fees of $12 per ticket or vehicle pass.
