All done. Now hope for the best

[engineer2012]

Hi all,

I just submitted the registration form!!! Now hope for the best.
Received the confimation email as well:

DEAR SEBASTIAAN,
Thank you, your entry for the Burning Man 2012 Ticket Pre-Sale was received!

The questions were confusing. E.g. first timers (like me) can not select "0" for previous purchased tickets. When I just did not gave an entry for this question, an error popped up.

Greetings from the Netherlands (9:51 PM here now)

[troubledenergy]

where's the form? I can't find it... am I blind?

[engineer2012]

At the top of the ticket page there is a link to the form. Firts a survey has to be filled in

[AntiM]

Top of the ticket page, says "click here to register" in brown.

Hi all,

"Previously purchased none" is the answer for "zero". It's at the bottom of the drop-down menu.

[trilobyte]

Congrats! As for the questionnaire, I think you missed an option. The last item on that list wasn't a number, but reads "previously purchased none." Good luck with the drawing!

[troubledenergy]

hahah oops found it... i AM blind apparently.

[engineer2012]

I did check the bottom of the drop down menu. No zero there. Really!!

[Savannah]

I believe you. It doesn't say "0". It's just "previously purchased none". (Same thing.)

[engineer2012]

Ah. Ok. All to exited I quess. Don't kill me please.

[remi]

Is tax included? 4 tickets to Canada = [(420)x(6)]+1+29 = 1,734.00$. Is that what will be charged to my cc?

[Savannah]

Ah. Ok. All to exited I quess. Don't kill me please.

But I was so going to enjoy the killing.

You would, wouldn't you.

Think so yes. Good luck with the drawing!

Thanx. Wouldn't it be great to be sure for a ticket before Christmas!!

Right on. Good luck to you too.. Infact, good luck to everybody!

[Eric]

Is tax included? 4 tickets to Canada = [(420)x(64)]+1+29 = 1,734.00$$1710.00. Is that what will be charged to my cc?

Your figures were wacky! Your total as written should have been $2550, not $1734.00. I've corrected for 4 tickets, and put the dollar sign on the US side. You'll have to do the conversion to Canadian on the day it's charged (roughly 1770.37$ today)

I registered today and saw the screen confirmation saying I had successfully registered, but have not gotten an email yet. Is that an issue and if so, How can I check?

I'm almost betting the servers are backing up again.. I would give it a little bit and/or check your spam inbox to see if it got filtered.


Servers backing up on just the xmas pre-sale? Noooooooo.. I mean, we all know what a great and capable ticketing system we have after all these years and millions of dollars pumped through them, right?

[trilobyte]

@remi & @Eric - I think the formula's off slightly but the number was right. 4x$420.00 ticket cost, 4x$6.00 per ticket charge, 1x$1.00 per order charge, 1x$29.00 shipping = $1734.00, then you convert the currency (you'd need to pad to account for market fluctuations, as currency rates would be converted on the day the charge occurred).

@Dr. Helix - you should receive email confirmation at the address specified within 5-10 minutes of getting the 'successful' screen on your browser. If not, check your email spam filter. If it's still not there, PM me and I'll see if I can help.

@junglesmacks - not likely a server issue, as our little pre-sale registration represents a tiny drop in the bucket of capacity.

[delle]

I wouldn't think that's necessarily so.

When I bought mine in the pre-Christmas sale last year I didn't get my confirmation for several hours.

...which prompted me to come in here and admit what I'd done, wondering if I'd just been scammed -- since I'd never heard of pre-Christmas tickets before and had just jumped in and paid without inquiring first.


Everything was just fine.

Maybe it was the cross-boarder Credit Card check that takes longer. Who knows.

We'd like to think so..

You're right- I forgot the per ticket charge and just worked from the formula. I think this would be the correct formula if someone else is trying to figure it out: (4x420)+(4x6)+1+29 = $1,734.00 or ([number of tickets]x[highest ticket tier entered])+([number of tickets]x6)+1+[shipping fee]= [x]

God I love math.

[MyDearFriend]

well my math comes to $1717

If I am LUCKY I will be charged that amount in a couple weeks

*kisses a hopeful goodbye to her hard-earned cash*

Perhaps because you didn't have to pay 29$ for shipping to canada.

Is there a way to figure out how many people have registered? Will that number be posted? Can someone tell us how many have registered as of right now?

It's perfect! Who needs superfluous crap?

I meant that as a compliment. As Shakespeare said “Men of few words are the best men.”
