Burning Man Contradance Camp August 30 – September 7, 2020 |
What's hot
Camp registration is now OPEN
Please JOIN. It turns out to be far easier to get low income tickets than main sale tickets, assuming you are eligible. If you want to come to burning man, sign up now, and we will help you find a way. |
Watch this space!
We are starting to organize for the 2020 burn. Important general advice: You can change your mind from yes to no as late as August (we will have a wait list), but the longer you wait to say yes, the lower you start in the wait list. |
Time to get ready for Burning Man!
Everybody Please update your travel informations Especially if you need a Vehicle Pass (VP) or Work Access Passes (WAP) (Aka early entry passes.) Best to start at the "Master Checklist", and do everything there. |
Main B'Man ticket sale, Noon pacific time, Wednesday 4/10
Be ready early! You should have received purchase instructions in email from the Burning Man organization. (Probably from ticketsupport@burningman.org ). Please make a hard appointment to ready before noon Pacific time (3pm Eastern Time). Do not be even 1 minute late to the sale itself. |
URGENT Please register for the Burning Man main ticket sale!
Please register BEFORE Noon Friday (Apr 5 - Pacific Time) The main sale is a lottery. Many good camper-dancers will fail to get tickets. Please sign up for the main sale even if you might not go or somebody else has a ticket for you. We will will run our own ticket exchange, and the more tickets we get the more campers can make it. If you don't sign up now, you will be locked out of the main sale next week. Official Instructions: [tickets.burningman.org] |
Tickets, Tickets and more Tickets!
We just finished purchasing our "Directed Group Sale" tickets for key staff. Next up is the main sale, which is a massive lottery for the bulk of the Burning Man admission tickets. If there is ANY chance that you might want to attend (or be a Ticket Fairy), please participate in the main sale. If you change your mind about attending, I assure you our camp ticket exchange will find a happy contra dancer to buy your ticket. Note: You MUST register to participate in the lottery between April 3rd and 5th (noon Pacific Time). The lottery will be at 12pm (noon) PDT on April 10, 2019 . Do not be even one minuted late for the lottery. |
We are getting organized for 2019
First time visitors to contraburners: as we have not yet updated the site, please start by looking at past years' antics (What a Hoot! Gallery link in the sidebar). Our organizing is ahead of where it was at this time in 2018 and we are looking forward to even more fun this year. If there is any chance you might want to join us please get in touch ASAP - you want to maximize your chances of getting the Burning Man tickets you will need to get in the gate. |
Calling all Contra Dancers!
If you have never been to Burning Man, you should try it. I can almost guarantee a life changing experience. Burning Man is always intimidating and extra hard the first time. What better way to get over the hump than to camp with a bunch of like minded contra dancers! Join us and dance on the Playa! Even if you are only thinking about it, sign up at "Get Connected" and we will help you through the process, including coaching you to maximize your chances of getting tickets. There will be plenty of opportunities to decline, but if you don't get an entry ticket early, it will be extra hard to join later. |
Camp Registration is Now Open!
Now it the time for all good people to visit "Get Connected" (left) and sign up for camp, so we can dance in the dust together! |
