We’ll discuss what these events have to offer and provide helpful tips on how to attend them without breaking the bank. Finally, we will look at some of the popular event ticketing platforms that are available to help make your Burner experience one you’ll never forget.
What Are Burning Man Events?
Burning Man events are typically held all around the world in various locations throughout the year. These events are inspired by the original Burning Man event which originated in 1986 on San Francisco’s Baker Beach. With its diverse programming aimed at bringing people together in an atmosphere of creativity, self-expression, and self-reliance — it quickly grew into a global phenomenon with additional regional festivals cropping up all over the planet.
From musical acts featuring top DJs from around the globe to creative workshops teaching attendees new skills like blacksmithing or solar cooking — these events offer something for everyone. Additionally, most organisers strive to foster sustainable living practices through eco-friendly education initiatives such as zero-waste programs and plastic reduction campaigns.
Tips for Attending Burning Man Events Without Breaking The Bank
As exciting as these activities may sound - they can be quite costly due to high prices associated with tickets and travel accommodations needed for attendance. Fortunately, there are several tips and tricks you can use in order to reduce costs while still having fun at these events:
- Check websites such as Groupon or Living Social for discounts on flights/hotels/events tickets
- Reach out to local community members who are hosting smaller gatherings (e.g., potlucks) related to Burning Man culture — often times they have no cost associated with attending
- Utilise social media networks (e.g., Facebook groups) dedicated to discussing ways for fellow "burners" to save money when attending large-scale events
- Consider carpooling options from nearby cities instead of paying out-of-pocket transportation costs
- Take advantage of volunteer opportunities offered by many larger-scale event organisers — volunteers usually get free entry if they agree to serve 2-3 shifts over their stay
Event Ticketing Platforms For Your Burning Man Experience
In addition to finding discounts or volunteering opportunities mentioned above — there is another option available known as “event ticketing platforms” which allow users to purchase tickets online or in person at designated outlets near their location before attending an event/festival/concert etc… Here are three popular ones worth looking into:
- Ticketmaster: One of the largest websites devoted solely towards selling tickets globally in both digital & physical formats
- Lybertine: Looking for events directed to the open-minded and alternative? This platform specialises in all things off the beaten track and the price for tickets is very competitive.
- StubHub: Specialising highly sought-after tickets such as music concerts but also offers a wide selection of pro sports games & theatre shows too
