Burning Man Tickets

Burning Man Tickets

Burning Man is an annual event. It takes place in the Black Rock Desert of northwest Nevada, approximately 100 miles north-northeast of Reno. Burning Man festival attendees experiment in community and art, so Burning Man tickets are highly coveted.

What is the Burning Man festival?

Burning Man isn’t your typical festival. Burning Man festival participants come together in the Black Rock desert to co-create Black Rock City, Nevada, a temporary desert metropolis dedicated to art and community. At the conclusion of the event, Burning Man participants dismantle Black Rock City. They take pride in leaving the Black Rock desert exactly as they found it before the event. Burning Man 2018 will take place in the Nevada desert on August 26 – September 3.
