You may notice that ticket resellers are already offering Black Rock City 2026 tickets in online ads and on their platforms. These platforms do not have any inventory of Black Rock City 2026 tickets; they are selling tickets on speculation with the intention to later acquire actual tickets to fulfill orders. Unfortunately it is not against the platforms’ terms and conditions, and so this activity continues. Learn more about ticket resellers here.

To be safe, only buy Black Rock City tickets from a Burning Man Project sale or through our Secure Ticket Exchange Program (STEP), and always pay face value for tickets. Selling tickets above face value is against Burning Man Project’s ticket terms and conditions. Any ticket or Vehicle Pass being sold for above face value plus service fees is at risk of being cancelled and not being valid for entry to the event.
