New this Year: Pay What You Can and Make Black Rock City Accessible to All Who Wish to Participate
Building Black Rock City is a Communal Effort! Black Rock City 2026 ticket prices are scaled to make Black Rock City accessible to all who wish to participate. When you purchase a higher-priced ticket, YOU are: helping more people experience the magic of Burning Man, funding Honoraria art grants, and underwriting Black Rock City operational costs. Thank you.
