New Land!Myschievia's home this year will be at Llama Land Ranch in Tool, TX. It's a great space and the site owner's are excited to have us! There will be significantly less work for land ops this year as the site is already pretty developed, but keep an eye out for volunteer requests for work weekends! There are significantly fewer trees which means less trails and less shade, but City Planning is putting together ideas to keep the wandering to different camps aspect of the burn alive! More information will come after Land Recon Weekend (date TBD). Ticket Sales and Pricing!Due to an increase in event insurance costs, site costs, and inflation in general, tickets have gone up a little in price this year. TICKET PRICES Volunteer Incentive and General Admission tickets - $150 Child tickets - $60 Art tickets - $200 TICKET RELEASE DATES Volunteer Incentive tickets - July 1 Art and General Admission tickets - July 15 Child tickets - July 1 General Admission tickets will be sold in two rounds: July 15 and Aug 22 (The volume of tickets for the second round will depend on volunteer numbers.)
