HOW TICKETS WORK

Tickets

Burning Man ticketing changes every year. We keep this page up to date, but final details always come from the Burning Man Project.

Always double-check the official ticketing page before you start screaming into the void.

"All sales open at 12pm (noon) Pacific Time."

Note for the extra anxious: log in early, use a laptop not your phone, have your payment card ready, and don't leave anything to "I'll just do it on the day".

Note for the extra rich: if you're in a position to do it, "Give the Gift" tickets help fund the city and unlock more lower-priced tickets for other humans.
