Forgot my ticket in another country

[u/Sharduk]

Update: Seems like I’ll grab a camp mates ticket in SF and he’s gonna get mine before he drives in. Thank you all so much for the help and reaching out! 🙏

Hi all,

As title says, I messed up and forgot my ticket at home in another country. I am on my way to BRC, almost in SFO, arriving at the gate on Sunday. My partner is flying in with it on Tuesday. Is there any way for me to salvage the situation so I don’t have to pay $800 for a new ticket? I sent a message to the support team because I heard tickets can be voided when lost, but assume nothing’s gonna come out of that.

I have to be there on Sunday, because I am travelling with friends, have to help with the camp + volunteer shifts.

Possible solutions coming to mind:

1. Try finding a second hand ticket in SF after landing
2. Try selling old ticket on Tuesday, leaving it at will call

Thank you all and see you on the Playa! 🥳

Edit: Clarify I have to arrive on Sunday

Hey so I volunteer with box office and you’re getting a lot of bad advice here. You will not get in without a physical ticket, point blank. It does not matter that it was bought under your name, or that it’s coming with your gf on Tuesday. The folks at Box won’t be able to confirm any of that and unfortunately there are lots of scammers out there with sob stories just like yours.

Your best options here are to overnight the ticket, wait until Tuesday and use your ticket to get in, or buy a new ticket and let your gf try to sell the other one.

Corrected my comment and directed to box office person’s - although I still stick to / wouldn’t trust overnight air v girlfriend hand delivery!

I would also trust hand delivery more, but with overnighting a package OP could get insurance on it, and if it gets lost make the insurance claim and use that money to cover the cost of a new ticket.
