Burning Man Gate Policies
#1. DON'T SHOW UP EARLY
Don't be the dinner guest who arrives before the party starts.
If you do not have a special early arrivals pass, DO NOT arrive at the
Gate until the event starts. Showing up early may cause you to get
into the event later than if you show up on time (really, we mean it).
If you arrive before the Gate opens you will not be allowed into the
event and you will not be allowed to wait at the Gate. Under no
circumstances should you wait on the side of the road anywhere along
highway 447 or 34, or in Gerlach. This is a serious safety hazard and
places our event at risk.
#2. BE PREPARED.
Don't be the person who shows up for the test without doing the homework.
When you roll up to the playa, have your ticket and any applicable
paperwork (e.g., copy of mutant vehicle registration) in your hand.
Not in your friends' hands, not in your trunk, not in your friend
named Hans' trunk. Be prepared to show your ticket to the Gate
volunteer as soon as you hit the gravel (heck, get it ready in
Gerlach!).
Your car will be searched at the Gate. Keep this in mind when packing
and the search will be easier for everyone, which means you get
through faster. If you have a large vehicle or a lot of stuff, we
appreciate your help during the search. Read the Survival Guide and
know what items are not allowed into BRC!
#3. KNOW WHERE YOU NEED TO GO
Don't be like a tourist driving the wrong way down a one way road.
Buying a ticket or picking up a Will Call ticket?: stay in the FAR
RIGHT LANE on Gate Road and look for the entrance to the Will Call
Lot. Go to Will Call/Box Office, get your tickets and then get in
line. Everyone in your vehicle must have a ticket in hand when you
reach the Gate or your entire car will be turned around.
#4. SET REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
Don't be like you were in so many of your failed relationships.
Thousands of people arrive in the first 18 hours of opening (Sunday
night through Monday). If you arrive during these hours, expect a long
wait at the Gate and be patient. If you want a smoother and faster
entry, arrive after the initial rush. If your car will overheat from
idling for hours, come after the rush. This is also true for Exodus -
avoid leaving during the peak afternoon times on Sunday and Monday if
you want your best chance at a shorter line.
#5. BE KIND, EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY
Don't be one of those people who loses their cool.
The Gate folks are VOLUNTEERS. They donate their time to help you get
in and out of Black Rock City. Treat them like you would anyone else
in our community. Please be patient, play nice and wait your turn.
Cutting in line, running through fences, or being aggressive not only
makes you uber lame, it will guarantee that you get into the event a
LOT later than you planned.
