[Update: 2016 Ticket Prices Announced]

The Apogaea board had previously suggested an idea for discussion that would have made ticket prices the same across all tiers of the organization. After soliciting and receiving community feedback, we have decided that the idea, despite having its strong points, was not truly workable or in the best interests of the Apogaea community or organization. After much discussion, we now have a revised ticketing plan that we think will work better for everyone.

Here are the basics of the new ticket structure:

  • Tickets will have various pricing levels as in previous years.
  • Full-Price tickets will be priced at or near the ticket prices from last year.
  • Scholarships and youth tickets will still be available at a discount.
  • Granted artists will receive guaranteed tickets.
  • Theme camps will have the ability to apply for a small pool of guaranteed tickets.
  • Anyone who purchased an Apogaea 2015 ticket will get a “thank you” coupon for a discounted ticket this year.

Although we know that we cannot please everyone all the time, we feel this is a much improved balance, which rewards participation while still maintaining integrity and keeping the event more in touch with Burning Man’s Ten Principles.

And, hey! In conjunction with this ticket announcement, we are also ready to kick off the Apo 2016 theme contest. Please click *here* for more information and to submit your ideas.

URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT

Citizens of Apogaea who are still on land: please hurry to pack up and make your way off land safely.

If anyone is willing and capable to volunteer, please help. If you can help DPW with strike, please head to DPW. Any other volunteers can meet down in Center Camp to wait for further guidance.

Anyone with sealed water, snacks, and non-perishable food – please drop it off at Center Camp so we can support our volunteers.

Remember, Apogaea is not just an event that occurs in a specific place at a specific time. WE ARE ALL APOGAEA. Take care of yourselves and each other.
