Low income ticket applications

Low income ticket applications

Postby maryanimal » Tue Nov 16, 2010 11:14 pm

Just wondering if anyone knows when you can apply for the tickets if you have a low income?
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

last year, I think they started accepting applications in January, with the deadline in May; there were stories of apps made in April, and there were no more tickets by then...

Apply for a low income if you need to, but have alternate plans in place for funding your ticket. A lot more people apply than actually get tickets, so it's not a guarantee. On the flip-side, I have multiple friends who've been able to get them, but they had a plan in place when they applied for what they were going to contribute and how.

I'm not trying to be discouraging, just preparing you for the reality.

Check in tickets and tiers (tears) and you will find my posting of the procedure from a few years back. Things usually stay the same for the most part.

And only apply if you actually have a low-income, not because you've chosen to be "poor" because it's cool, and you're too lazy to bother scraping the money together like the rest of us who can't really afford $300 chunk, either, but bust our asses and scrimp and save to make it happen.

Yes, but a penny saved is a penny earned. ;)

Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.

I'm really low income. If I had the $300 for a ticket, I'd pay for it no problem. I lost and excellent paying job and now I took a job to bring in any income. I take care of my mom who has dementia. She lives with me. So keeping a roof over our heads at this time is important. Anyhoo, I'm still looking for a more full time job! I've seriously thought about standing with a sign by a freeway exit. So I think I qualify for low income right now. And this is not a pity party!! Just the facts. And if I can contribute something in return I will!

Burning Man or Bust.
