Interfuse Ticket Updates, Troubleshooting Help, and Corrections
✴︎
Why are you making a second post??
A few updates and corrections to the last post. The tl;dr is here and full updates are below.
The general ticket sale round 1 will start on Friday, March 29, 2024 at NOON ET (11 AM CT)- This is a corrected date!!!
Ticket Announcements
We are using a new ticketing platform that requires every ticket holder to create a unique account on https://midwestburners.volunteeripate.com/.
Everyone will need to make their own unique account to attend the event. Unlike previous years, you cannot just show your ID at the gate to let in an individual whose ticket is under your name. Making a volunteeripate account is a part of our gate process this year, so everyone needs to make a unique account.
We highly suggest using the same email that you use for volunteer shifts as the direct presale links will be sent to those email addresses.
Ticket Prices will be 75$ each for general admission. Children under 12 are $1.
General sale pools people will have the opportunity to buy up to 3 tickets and transfers will be open until Saturday, May 11. Please remember that EACH attendee must have a unique volunteeripate account associated with a single, unique ticket to the event. The ONLY exception is minors who may be registered under their parent/guardian account who houses the ticket.
Direct Ticket Links are in your inboxes!
Presale links have been sent to those who volunteered 4+ hours and made sure their Lead got their email address. We can’t have a burn without the gifting of everyone’s time and effort – so we’re happy to offer this presale opportunity.
The presale will open for 2 weeks starting Saturday, March 16.
Volunteer Direct Ticket Troubleshooting
Please check your spam and junk folders- some folks are getting links sent there.
If you register for an account and do not see a volunteer ticket for purchase, please double-check that the account you created is using the email associated with the direct ticket link email send from Interfuse.
If you are STILL having issues figuring out where your volunteer ticket is to purchase, please contact an EC at interfuseecs@midwestburners.org to help troubleshoot!
What about the general sale?
If you weren’t able to volunteer so many hours, or even unable to attend last year, our general sale will have two phases this year too bee more accommodating to the various availability we all have.
Please note an edit to the general ticket release date!!!
The first round will be on Friday, March 29 at Noon ET (11 AM CT).
The second round will be on Saturday, April 6th at Noon central time.

Interfuse Effigy Ideas
✴︎
Effigy submissions
It’s hardly a burn if we don’t burn something down Saturday night, is it? Well we’ve determined the theme to be Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. We open the floor for build plans. We’re going to run them by our FAST team to determine which would be the best to safely burn down.
Keep in mind we want our effigy to be interactive for the community during the event, and additionally, we don’t want it terribly tall as then we have to plan a lot more for its safe burn with a lot more people on perimeter.With those key points in mind, please join the fun and steal the show so to speak. It’s the main event.
General Interfuse art
Have you wanted to get involved with Interfuse, but didn’t know who to talk to or what department you’d need to interface with? Well, the truth is we don’t want to need that much bureaucracy. If you want to create an event banner for the Facebook event or our website – we wont say no. It’s come to our attention that some people have wanted to get involved like this but didn’t feel like they had the permission to just jump right in.
Consider yourselves permitted. An excellent way to reach out to the entire EC team is our collective email of InterfuseECs@
MidwestBurners.org
Our departments, and what they do exactly
Front Gate Handout: If you want the rest of the community and participants to know about your camps events make sure to let Beth know in advance so we can include it in the handout – Beth Hillary
Sanctuary: A vital component of the InterRangers, sanctuary provides a safe place to remove ones self from the over stimulating environment of a burn if needed, while also providing emotional support and attention when necessary – Brian Tosenthal
Gate: Get in line, have your ID ready. Sign your waiver. You know what we do here. -Felix Blackwell
Kitchen: Providing a hot meal for our volunteer staff. No event comes together without hundreds of hands, and half as many mouths. – Mother Unit
Placement: Tasked with making the event map and sculpting how the event comes together once theme camps have been submitted. – Shawn Summers
Sign Shop: If you want some signage made for the event Beth is our go to girl – Beth Hillary
Sound Marshal: Works alongside placement when it comes to the layout for our Sound camps, and then monitors those same camps for their noise levels. – Sound Marshal
Earth Guardians: LEAVE NO TRACE. It’s what we do, and the E.G. makes sure we do it. One of the very last departments on site, tasked with making sure the place is exactly as it was when we got here, if not better. –
City Watch: While the effigy burns and the community is gathered in the field the city watch volunteers to patrol the rest of the burn and make sure nothing is stolen or vandalized at our camps – Amanda Schroeder
Parking: Fitting over a thousand burners on our land takes some organizing with all those cars. Parking will help you park in way so that we make the most out of our space – Uno
Exodus: Look, you don’t have to go home, but the event ends at 5:00PM Sunday. Your entire camps should be packed in and gone by then. Exodus will be around to check in on you and see if you need any assistance –
Medic: Seriously, don’t die. We’ll make sure of it. –
Rangers: The backbone of our InterRangers, we are your knowledgeable burner community members here to be seen, and be helpful. Rangers operate based off the F.L.A.M.E. acronym; Find out, Listen, Analyze, Mediate, Explain. If you have any emergency the Rangers will be your first line of responder helping to marshal any specific needs to you. –
DPW : There’s a lot of work that goes into putting on a burn. Lucky for us it can be a labor of love for the Department of Public Works. Anything from digging ditches, hauling lumber, or telling bad jokes and drinking beer. -Lace Scott & Emily Webb
Perimeter: Fire is cool and all, but when we light up that big structure we’re going to establish what is a safe distance to keep the crowd at. Helping them out and standing on the line also guarantees one of the best spots to watch the effigy burn – Trent Tucker
FAST: Fire Art Safety Team. Any flame effect or burnable art needs to get the stamp of approval.
Preburn: Fire spinners come one and all! Join the conclave in a fire spinning set before the effigy burns. Just attend the safety meeting in advance and have a safety equipped with a towel to join the perimeter
Drummers: We would love to have drummers accompany the effigy as it burns
Art Grants: Art grant stopped accepting new applications on the 18th. But their work is vital to our entire organization. We exist to create art and put it on display at our event to inspire and prompt dynamic interaction. – Cree
DMV: For those who wish to create and operate a Mutant Vehicle we need you to coordinate with our DMV as for the most part we don’t want cars driving around the property without a good reason. Mutant Vehicles get a pass, provided they’re safely operated and approved in advance – Ken Girard
Greeters: Get yourself a burner hug, orient yourself with our unique event culture, and review the 10 (+1) principals – Jon Asher
Effigy: That big thing we burn Saturday night. Someone’s going to build it. Could be you if you provide FAST with a plan and have the desire to put it together on site a week before the event with the help of your friends and anyone in DPW that may be around. TBA
Lastly, if you would like to become more involved in any way shape, or form – please reach out to any of the Event Coordinators to help you get involved. It takes an army of artists, creative spirits, and organized adults to make this event happen. We need your help in all kinds of ways. Many unexpected gifts come from participants make the magic of a burn happen.
