Securing Burning Man Tickets
The All-Important Registration
To even participate in most Burning Man ticket sales, you must first register on the official website. This creates your Burner Profile and is mandatory for eligibility in lotteries. Missing this step means missing out on the primary chances to buy Burning Man tickets.
Primary Ticket Sales Channels
The journey to securing Burning Man tickets involves several distinct sales. The FOMO Sale offers a limited number of higher-priced tickets early. The Main Sale follows, representing the largest allocation and is highly competitive, often selling out instantly. For last-minute hopefuls, the OMG Sale provides a very small final batch closer to the event. Each requires prior registration.
Official Resale and Low Income
If you miss the primary sales, the STEP program (Secure Ticket Exchange Program) is the official and safest way to acquire tickets from other Burners who can no longer attend. Avoid unofficial sources. The Low Income Ticket Program offers reduced-price tickets for those who qualify financially, emphasizing accessibility.
How to Get Tickets for Burning Man
To get tickets for Burning Man, you must register on the official Burning Man website, then participate in one of the official sales (FOMO, Main, OMG), or utilize the STEP resale program, or apply for the Low Income Ticket Program.
