Burning Man ticket update, straight from the ticketing team at this past weekends all staff meeting.

On Tuesday or Wednesday people who registered will get an email telling them if they got tickets. If they did not, the email will tell you how to register for STEP (secure ticket exchange program)

People who end up with more tickets than then need have the option before the tickets are ever mailed, to sell them back to Burning Man. They get a refund.

Burning Man will take those tickets sold back and redistribute them to people who opt in to the STEP program. You must opt in, it is not automatic

This way tickets people don't want/need stay out of scalpers hands and people looking for tickets need not meet some stranger in a parking with hundreds of dollars in cash. The STEP program will operate up until physical tickets are mailed out this summer.

Then there is still the secondary sale in March with 10K tickets sold the old fashioned way, first come first served.
