Burning Man “Patron of Black Rock City” Terms and Conditions

By proceeding with making a Patron Donation (as defined below) to Burning Man Project through the Patron of Black Rock City program, I confirm that I understand and accept the following Terms and Conditions applicable to my donation:

  1. I am making a charitable donation; I am not purchasing a Burning Man admission ticket(s). Each donation in the amount of $2,500 (each a “Patron Donation”) will entitle the donor to reserve one (1) admission ticket and one (1) vehicle pass to the 2025 Burning Man event in Black Rock City (the “Event’), at the then-published ticket price(s) for that Event plus applicable taxes and fees. If you purchase a ticket in connection with a Patron Donation, that purchase and ticket will be subject to the Ticket Terms and Conditions applicable to the Event.
  2. The Patron of Black Rock City program is a limited quantity opportunity and ticket reservations will be available only while supplies last. 
  3. These ticket reservations are only available through the Patron of Black Rock City program while it is available online here, and do not apply to other charitable contributions made to Burning Man Project via donate.burningman.org or otherwise.  
  4. Burning Man Project will contact Patrons of Black Rock City when ticket sales begin and provide instructions for how to purchase the reserved Burning Man ticket(s) for the Event. 
  5. CHARITABLE DONATIONS ARE NOT REFUNDABLE. You are making a charitable donation to Burning Man Project, a 501(c)(3) public charity.  We cannot return your donation for any reason, including if you are unable or elect not to use your reservation(s) to purchase tickets, in whole or in part. Patron Donations and the associated reservations cannot be returned even if Burning Man Project is unable to produce the Event due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not necessarily limited to adverse weather, acts of nature, health epidemics or pandemics (including any significant worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic), strikes, protests, governmental regulation, or the failure to obtain required permits.
  6. Reservations do not have any value and are not transferable. Any reservation associated with your Patron Donation may be used to purchase a ticket to the Event only by you. Reservations may not be sold or provided to any other individual, and any reservation that is transferred in violation of these Terms and Conditions is subject to cancellation.
  7. We will only provide reservations to individuals. You represent and warrant that you are making a donation on behalf of yourself, an individual, and not on behalf of any entity of any kind.
  8. Please check with your tax advisor as to the tax-deductibility of your Patron Donation(s).
  9. Information provided to Burning Man Project in connection with a donation is covered by the Burning Man Privacy Policy, available at https://burningman.org/privacy-policy/. Patron Donations and associated reservations will be processed in collaboration with independent service providers, and the use of information provided in connection with your donation is also governed by the privacy policies of those providers.
  10. Burning Man Project does not promise that the website(s) used to process donations and associated reservations will be error-free or uninterrupted. The Patron of Black Rock City program is being offered on an “AS-IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, and BURNING MAN PROJECT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
