The Patron of Black Rock City program offers a clear, reliable path to participating in Black Rock City while supporting wider access for others. Your patron contribution will support Honoraria art grants and programs that nurture connection and creativity. Contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Up to 500 opportunities to contribute and reserve your ticket purchase; the amount per contribution is $2,500, and a maximum of 10 contributions per person (yes, you can contribute more than once to secure multiple tickets!).
Each reservation gives you a direct link to purchase 1 (one) ticket to Black Rock City 2026 and up to 1 (one) Vehicle Pass — no registration requirements, no waiting in online queues, and no need to be available on a specific day or time. Please note that your Patron of Black Rock City contribution itself is not a ticket or vehicle pass. Please see Terms & Conditions for more information.
Contributions are nonrefundable and nontransferable. However, when you purchase your reserved ticket(s), they will be fully transferable (subject to the ticketing terms and conditions).
You will receive a unique ticket purchase link, and you will have an extended window of time to purchase ticket(s). Purchase links will be emailed in March.
Patrons are guaranteed access to purchase tickets across all ticket tiers priced at $775 or more.
There will be no Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) ticket sale in 2026 or the Invitation to the Future program. Visit the ticketing page for all Black Rock City 2026 ticket information.
Your patronage opens new possibilities for creativity and connection in Black Rock City 2026. Whereas most events subsidize ticket costs through corporate sponsorship, VIP benefits, and merchandise, the Burning Man Project nonprofit relies on philanthropic programs such as the Patron of Black Rock City to offset rising costs, which have eclipsed ticket prices for several years. So, thank you for considering becoming a Patron of BRC today!
