FIRST ROUND of Tickets Sold Out!
First batch of General Sale Tickets is gone. Poof. Dust in the wind, much like you will be come event weekend. But don’t panic! The next batch goes on sale March 25th, but it’s the last one, so this is not a drill. Set an alarm. Tell your work calendar something “came up.” Do what you need to do. Tickets will be on sale until May 1st or until they sell out.
Prices remain $75 for adults and $1 for children under 13.
Selling or Transferring a Ticket
Everyone MUST have their own unique Volunteeripate account to be transferred a ticket. Each Volunteeripate account will only be able to hold ONE ticket per account. If you would like to purchase a ticket for another person, you will need to transfer it before you can purchase another ticket for yourself.
- Log into your Volunteeripate account
- Click Menu
- Click Your Account
- Click Tickets
- Click the blue banner that says Ticket Options
- Enter recipient’s email and click Free (gift) Transfer
You will not be able to SELL your ticket through Volunteeripate, only transfer, so be sure to coordinate financial aspects between yourselves outside of the Volunteeripate space. This process may be repeated indefinitely (until tickets sell out).
For all ticket sales types, as well as forms for various requests and submissions, you will need a Volunteeripate account!
Interfuse 2026 is Live on Dust!
By popular demand, we are using the DUST app (and website) again this year to host our digital WhatWhereWhen guide, and the first wave of theme camp approvals has landed. Welcome back, Mayors!
Quick note on process since we know someone will ask: camp registration and placement approval still go through the Camp Registration Form first. That part hasn’t changed. Once your camp is officially approved, it gets ported over to DUST, where you can take the wheel on your own details and event schedule.
If your camp has already been approved and see an invite in your inbox right now, please click it. Once you’re in, you can add events to your camp, add a co-lead’s email if you want, and decide whether the general public can submit events to your camp page or whether you’d prefer to keep a tighter grip on your event schedule.
This can all be moderated from a computer, don’t feel like you need to do it all from your phone if that’s difficult for you!
DUST is genuinely the easiest way to keep track of theme camp events, workshops, and art installations across the community, so we’re glad to have it back. Never used it before or forgot everything from last year? The creator put together very detailed instructions that will walk you through everything.
Right now, only Theme Camps have the ability to create an event. They have the option to allow the public to submit an event to their camp. We will alert the community when the public is able to submit events without a camp location.
Art Installations will have the same abilities as Theme Camps, but not yet! Coming soon, please sit tight!
Questions about any of this? Shoot us an email at ifimp@midwestburners.org and we’ll sort you out.
Pre Event Ranger Office Hours
Thinking about becoming a Ranger? Already a Ranger and want to actually know the people you’ll be out there with? Missed the Ignition class and just want to ask Tanto questions for an hour? Same, honestly.
Tanto is hosting virtual Rangers office hours on March 25, April 22, and May 3, (HINT, THOSE ARE ALL LINKS TO THE CALENDAR EVENT!) from 6–7PM (central). These are open to everyone: curious newcomers, freshly trained Rangers figuring out what they’ve gotten themselves into, and veterans who want to put a face to a name before we’re all dirty, tired, and squinting at each other on-site.
Come with questions, come with enthusiasm, come in your pajamas, we don’t care. Click dates above to add the event to your calendar!
2026 Updated Survival Guide is Live
Radical Self-Reliance starts long before you arrive at the gate. We have officially released the new and improved 2026 Survival Guide, and it is recommended reading for everyone, from first-year burn-gins to ten-year vets.
We’ve overhauled several sections, including updated departments like First Aid (formerly Medic) and new insights on site-specific logistics. Staying informed is the best way to ensure you and your campmates have a safe and successful burn.
Please keep in mind that the Survival Guide is a living document and will always be in flux as our community grows and our needs change. If you see something that needs a tweak or have a suggestion to make it better, please feel free to leave a comment!
