Burning Man Postpones Ticket Sales

Burning Man 2020 isn’t supposed to be for several months (August 30-Sept. 7) but they are planning in advance and staying flexible. So like many other festivals, Burning Man’s main ticket sale and registration, originally scheduled to begin April 1, and the “Main Sale” set to take place on April 8 has been postponed due to coronavirus concerns.

“Black Rock City is still five months away, and a lot can happen between now and then. So much is beyond our powers to predict or control.”

On their statement dated March 30, “Given that reality, we believe the prudent next step is to postpone our upcoming ticket sale. Registration for the “Main Sale” was scheduled to begin April 1, and the sale was set to take place April 8. Effective today, we are postponing the Main Sale registration and the Main Sale. We are going to gather more information over the coming weeks so that we can make a more informed decision. We have not yet set an alternative date for the registration and sale.”

Burning Man is also considering offering refunds if the event is canceled

We are exploring every possible option for offering refunds if the 2020 event is canceled. Our terms and conditions state that tickets are non-refundable “for any reason,” but we recognize how unusual this situation is, and are sensitive to the financial insecurity many in our community are facing.
