My intent is to fly from PIT to RNO. My camp is boston based and has storage in NV and makes heavy use of containers shipped from boston to the playa (and has hosted them on the playa in previous years).
I'm trying to figure out my logistics for getting _my_ stuff to the playa. When I lived in boston I used the boston containers. I'm hearing rumors that pgh isn't sending a truck this year which could make things interesting.
Yeah, if you're not passing through SF, there's probably not a lot we can coordinate. It would be cool to see you on the playa, though. :-) (And I should look into containers travelling from SF.)
Right yes, sorry. At this point the ticket situation is grim, which is the reason we're so short of people in the first place. :-\
If you are interested for next year, though, we should chat once this year is over (in September or something). I suspect next year there will be a possibly-dramatic increase in the number of tickets sold, and probably a better method of distribution.
I was under the impression that they couldn't increase the number of tickets sold (for zoning/legal/safety reasons), but I admit I don't know the whole story or anything.
The Bureau of Land Management won't increase the cap until the Burning Man org can demonstrate that they have the appropriate facilities to handle the increased number of people. They have a deal currently under which the numbers increase from 50k to 70k over the period from 2011 to 2016 or so I believe. I suspect they're going to try to get it boosted faster after this year's sellout.

Oh -- probably what you mean is that you are looking for people who have already purchased tickets?
I would not qualify, then.
