Greetings Burnt Oranges community,
Have you noticed it’s nap season? Whether clear or cloudy, for some reason it takes an extra cup of coffee or tea to wake up lately. It’s definitely that time of year when the relentless heat plus afternoon thunderstorms make you want to crank up the AC and sleep the day away. Just don’t look at your AC bill too closely.
Here’s what you’ll find in this newsletter.
Tier 1 Tickets are Sold Out Tier one tickets for AfterBurn 2023 are sold out, friends! We hope you were able to procure yours with ease. Tier 2 tickets will go on sale Friday, September 1, 2023 at 12pm. The cost will be $175 per ticket. (See? We promised better transparency going forward.) As always, you can purchase tickets here. We accept PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App Pay, ACH Debit, and Klarna Buy Now/Pay Later.
In the event you need to resell your ticket, you can use Tixel. This app is integrated with Ticket Tailor so that you can easily resell tickets. Please note that not all tickets can be resold; if you don’t see your tier listed, you won’t be able to resell it. And of course, all sales are at face-value only. Tixel will re-issue your ticket to your buyer in their name, so there’s no need to swap printouts or notify Burnt Oranges of the sale.
Member Reserved Tickets are Open We are exceedingly grateful to all of our members, and are happy to report that member tickets are open on Ticket Tailor. Member codes were sent out via email on July 7, 2023 via email from bookkeeper@burntoranges.org. The code goes in the spot that says “Do you have an access code?” on Ticket Tailor. That will open your member tier for you and allow you to purchase your ticket and obtain your vehicle or RV pass.
If you did not receive your code, email tickets@floridaafterburn.com and we will follow-up with you.
