How do I buy tickets?

The tickets for the 2023 are now all sold out. However, you can buy resale tickets on Quicket (and ONLY on Quicket.) All the ticket info is here. How to sell a ticket. How to buy a ticket. Here is Quicket.

How do I buy a vehicle pass?

Vehicle Passes are available to purchase at the gate for R299/R499 depending on how big your vehicle is. Cash and card payment facilities are available.

How do I connect or hook up with an AfrikaBurn Theme Camp?

The best place is the AfrikaBurn community run Theme Camp group on Facebook:

Do you rent bicycles?

No, but the Pedals For Peace crew does a fabulous job of allowing you to get a bike and then donate it after the event:

What about kids?

Kids (14 years and younger) & minors (15 – 17 years old) entering the event:

Anyone under the age of 18 entering the event needs to be accompanied by an adult 28 years or older.  Parents/legal guardians or elected guardians 28 years and older are only allowed to accompany a maximum of 4 kids/minors to the event. This is to ensure that there’s enough adult supervision of kids/minors onsite.

The Box Office Crew will request who the guardian is of all under age kids/minors entering the event. Once this person has been identified, we’ll link the guardian/parents’ wrist band to the kid/minors’ wrist band that they will be supervising onsite.

If you know what your Tankwa Town address is, please come prepared with that information so that we can record those details against your name/wrist band on the database.

Kids Tickets are available to purchase at the gate (R499). Minor Tickets are not. Cash and card accepted.

Don't forget to Volunteer!

How do I edit the details on my ticket?

If you find that the details on your ticket do not match the details on your ID/Passport please ensure that you edit the details on your ticket before arriving in the desert.

Click on “My Tickets”

Alongside “Options” – Click “Edit details”

To deter scalpers, AfrikaBurn have only allowed one edit – however we are allowing a 2nd edit to ensure that your ticket admin is sorted before you arrive in the desert.  

This option is not available to Subsidised Ticket, Pensioner Ticket or Anathi Ticket holders.

How do I transfer my ticket to someone else?

If your circumstances have changed and you have sold/gifted your ticket to someone else. Please use the transfer ticket facility on Quicket. This will cancel your ticket barcode and remove the ticket from your basket and deliver the ticket to the new owner’s email address. The new ticket owner needs to download the ticket before arriving in the desert.
