Gate Sales:
We encourage everyone to pre-buy their tickets before coming to Kiwiburn as it helps with organising the event. Gate sale tickets will be more expensive than retail sales.
If you wish to leave during the event you will be required to pay a re-entry fee (so bring EVERYTHING that you will need). A group facilitated ice and water-run will be available to participants during the event.
These rules are intended to:
- Promote self reliance
- Promote community interactions
- Reduce "spectator" attendance
- Give the guys running the greeter station time to go party
If for some reason you need to arrive outside these hours we will have to pre-approve this. Please email admin@kiwiburn.com and explain:
- The circumstances that make it impossible for you to attend the full festival.
- The contribution that you are making
In case you're wondering what happens to the money you pay for your ticket...
Kiwburn is a collective experience. Everyone contributes, everybody pays. This is the underlying principle for the budget. Your ticket money goes into a pool, from which the expenses involved in putting on the event are paid. These expenses include:
- Council fees for use of land and permits.
- Safety equipment.
- Donation to a local nature reserve to help offset the greenhouse gas emissions from the festival.
- Provision of toilets to meet OSH regulations.
- Building and kitting out of infrastructure (Centre Camp, The Man, The Temple, Greeter Station, signage within the town)
- Printing of tickets, posters, survival guides, miscellaneous information.
- Hiring of a professional emergency medical crew to meet OSH standards for safety.
- Donations to the local fire brigade for their presence at the burns.
This does not take into account all the work done for free (and incidental costs from their own pockets) by the volunteers. We hope that in years to come, Kiwiburn will be big enough to source our First Aid from within the community, but meanwhile in order to have the event we must hire professionals. These are the only people who get paid to be there.
As you can see, Kiwiburn has a lot of expenses, and these are what your ticket pays for. In the event that ticket sales outweigh expenses and there is money left over after the festival, all surplus will be re-invested into next year's festival. Our festival is growing, our tickets help with that.
After the festival if you are interested in seeing exactly where the money went, please visit this site for a complete summary of expenses and income, and how much will go back into next year's festival.
