LOW INCOME TICKET PROGRAM: Our two previous reduced-cost ticket programs have been merged to create a single, streamlined process for participants and to provide more of these affordable tickets to Burners who need them. This new program replaces our previous Scholarship & Low Income programs.
We have 4000 Low Income Tickets available, which cost $160 each. These tickets are reserved for participants on a limited income who cannot otherwise afford our regular lowest priced ticket. Please only apply for a Low Income Ticket if you truly need one.
The link to begin the application process will be posted here on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 12 noon (Pacific Standard Time). Applications will be accepted until we run out of tickets or Monday, May 1, 2012, whichever comes first. Those awarded tickets will be notified within six weeks of applying. The application link will be removed when we have run out of Low Income Tickets.
