OK.. I'm going to start this thread cause I got the news that one of my dear friends and his lovely, lovely girlfriend does not have a ticket yet. I am talking about Andy Coleman and Toka of New Day's Eve and the Bus. If you are sitting on a pair of tickets looking to make sure they get to someone special, now is your time, we found the people for you. Drop me a message.

    Random and I met and fell in love at PDF, and we would love to return next month to celebrate our engagement (happened at burning man!), to work on our theme camp (Camp Deviants - you want my new version of gourmet grilled cheese???), and to volunteer as rangers/participation station.

    I hate how ticket searches become a competition, but just wanted to share why PDF is so important to us, and how we contribute to it.

    Please let me know if you have two spare tickets available for us. Thanks.

    i'd like two tickets please, if possible. let me know!
    • How badly do you want two tickets? Badly enough to pick up the slack I'm leaving behind? Dusty Nipples is donating one spare tciket, and I've got one, so you'll get TWO tickets if you can handle my slack.

      My dog is very ill and I can't leave her alone in this condition. But I've also got a ton of responsibilities for this burn and I need someone to fill in. I will give you my ticket if you swear you will handle the following:

      1) Get there early Thursday and help Naked Ron with set up - clean the showers, mark off the parking lot, get stuff out of the shed for the Gate and Participation Station.

      2) Find Maya or any board member with a credit card on Friday and go to Home Depot for metal roofing sheets. Those are for the main burn pad. You'll also need to pick up about 5 gallons of kerosene at a gas station. Gas jug is in the shed.

      3) Assist Fred in building his Pony head. I have some supplies here in Takoma Park that have to go out to the site, so you'll need to pick them up.

      4) You'll be acting as assistant Fire Team Coordinator for Reverend Dave. Main responsibility there is to round up volunteers to build the burn pad on Friday, then round up more volunteers to build the wood stack on Saturday.

      5) Make sure the greeter's station has a wood supply at all times. It gets chilly out there in the middle of the night!

      6) Do the two participation station shifts I've signed up for.

    Desperately need one ticket - or will purchase a pair if you have them. Please, please help me!

    Happy to pay immediately via pay pal, or any other method you prefer (check, money order, you name it). Call me any time of day or night, and I will send payment straight away. Please call my cell at 202-957-5715, or email me at adam@steckel.net, which I'll see quicker than if you send a message to my Tribe.net inbox.

    Thank you so much for you help!

    'ello lovelies!

    I'm looking for 3 tickets but will happily, gratefully settle for 1 or 2. In addition to instantly paypalling you the money, I'm also happy to throw in a ride-share if we're leaving around the same time, a lesson in fire spinning, a palm or tarot reading, or all the organic baked goods you and your camp can handle. Shameless self promotion? Perhaps... But i've tried to snag tickets to the last few events and wasn't able to. I'd love for my entire, scattered group to be able to attend this amazing event i've been hearing about for ages :-).

    The limiting of tickets is an awful idea. Awful. It leads to hoarding, inevitably and always. The perception of scarcity makes people act crazy. There are ways to limit attendance without making tickets scarce.

    As the time gets closer to the event, people will unload their unused tickets, but no one without a ticket can plan ahead and make something cool and fun in the time remaining.

    FAIL.

    dear pdf: please release more tickets :)

    I realize this is another plea amongst the other pleas but I'd love to buy and volunteer for two tickets. I recently moved to Delaware from San Francisco, and not only does pdf sound like an amazing experience but I'd also love to jump on the opportunity to make some contacts with people on this side of the continent. If anyone has it in their heart to help out a noob please don't hesitate to contact me. Here's to hoping we all get to see each other there!

    Sorry pdfers,
    I messed up when purchasing my tickets and apparently won't be making it to pdf this fall. I thought I had tickets, but due to a computer glitch, now I don't. So there won't be any of Chelas' body painting going on until the spring :(

    If anyone has an extra ticket or two to throw my way, let me know. Thanks a lot and love you all!

    So, yeah I just found out the ticket I thought I had for PDF I don't really have. I have been attending PDF since Spring of 2005 and have not missed one since. It would break my heart to miss this one as my birthday is on Friday October 9th and I had some big plans to celebrate it with the community. With the exception of my first time, I have always volunteered for two shifts either at the gate or participation station every time I have attended. I have founded theme camps, created art, assisted with various events and have generally given to the community. If you have a ticket or know someone that has a ticket please PM me. I can give you the money via paypal, mail it to you, or place the cash directly in your hand if you live within a reasonalble distance. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I need six tickets.. Any help would be appreciated.

    Our theme camp grew substantially in size this year, and we're having trouble getting tickets for all of our lovelys. I'll send you cashish immediately and they lucky recipients will gift their minds, bodies and souls to you when I deliver them to your tent.

    Our crew was on an rv heading out of BRC when tickets went on sale. Any number of tickets you can spare would help. thanks!

    cheers,

    ash

    ps I'll personally write, direct and perform an original puppet show for you if you can help!

    Hey everyone, I hope you all are finding luck in your search for tickets. Just to reiterate (I am sure this has been mentioned before): Make sure you are utilizing the ticket exchange and the regional mailing lists. I was without a ticket for spring PDF, decided to make a go for it on very short notice, and literally an hour after I posted a ticket request someone called me back with a ticket to offer. Best of luck, and don't give up hope! The closer we get to the burn, the more tickets will become available.

    See you on the playa!

      Piss on it. Seriously.

      There are better ways to limit attendance than to manufacture scarcity. Every year people hoard tickets until the last few days, and people of good will cannot plan to attend.

    I only need one ticket. I've been constantly scanning the Ticket Exchange, but no luck. I have these awesome red furry leg warmers I wanna wear and cyberlox. If you have a ticket, call me at 609-272-0467 or e-mail me at karmasong@comcast.net. I hope our karma can work together. - Jan
  • Hello all you sexy burners and the one ugly one,

    Please please please read this carefully before responding. There are so many people I care for who don't have tickets, please don't be insulted if this process doesn't work for you. A few weeks ago, I had 10 tickets and there were 70+ requests for those tickets, many from those I know and love. There were a few people who were slightly annoyed at me because I didn't give them the tickets they asked for or hinted at they needed. I want to get you tickets, I do. And I will do my best to do it. I will not be able to personally respond to every request, and I apologize in advance for that.

    Here we go: Teamed with a Burner developer, I am testing the process for matching people with extra PDF tickets to those people who don't have a ticket. Hopefully it's something we can roll out by the next PDF. If you'd like to be a guinea pig, please read the rest of this email. Yes, there are rules, sorry. But once you get at ticket and are at PDF you can shed those pesky rules. Until then, help us and yourself out by strictly adhering to the process. Thank you in advance!

    Also, please know how the ticket game usually goes with PDF: there is a shortage of tickets a number of weeks before PDF -- so everyone who needs tickets makes alternate plans; and then all the tickets are freed up days before the event -- because people's plans change, and they are flaky hippies, etc. Unfortunately by this time, most people have made alternate plans. So the most flexible people are the winners in this game. Therefore, those looking for a ticket who test this service please know you probably won't get any notification until days before or event during the event.

    The Process

    a) If you havean extra ticket (or tickets), please write to have.pdf.tix@gmail.com in the exact format below (with no other information please):
    1. Mobile Phone Number: 000-000-0000
    2. Number of tickets: 0
    3. Comments: ____________________

    b) If you need more than one extra ticket, please contact the other people in need and have them individually and personally submit a request. At this time we are not able to accommodate requests for more than one ticket from one person. Multiple emails from the same email address may be ignored. Emails containing duplicate mobile phone numbers may be ignored. People trying to "game the system" may be ignored.

    c) If you needa ticket, please write to need.pdf.ticket@gmail.com in the exact format below (with no other information please; you may leave out the bracketed information in your answers if you wish):
    1. Mobile Phone Number: 000-000-0000
    2. Will you be volunteering this PDF (Choose one): [Please write YES or NO only]
    3. Comments: ____________________ [Comments can include, but are not limited to your indication which department(s) or theme camp(s) you will be volunteering for; Departments include "Greeters", "Rangers", "DPW" etc, while theme camps include examples such as "PEX" or "BCDC"]

    Lots and lots of LOVE,

    Blue
