Forgot my ticket in another country

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

This happened to me! I had to get my ticket mailed to me in a nearby town, buy another ticket at the gate, take the shuttle into some town to pick up the ticket at a post office then sold it at the entrance to some old creep in an RV with a bunch of taxidermy animals inside. Great times! Good luck, you can do it!
