Tickets are the key to creating Burning Seed and everybody buys one. Here we choose crowd creation over commercialisation: there are no sugar-daddy sponsors or advertising oracles. The only pockets are yours and mine. 

This means a ticket purchase is the baseline way in which everyone participates at Burning Seed: there are no free or volunteer-for-entry tickets for community crew, artists, performers or media. In a not-for-profit, collaborative event like ours, we all pay, play, work and gain — and that includes our lead community organisers too.

And there’s much ado about the mula raised. With these funds, we provide art grants, build the infrastructure of the city, hire necessary equipment and create the Effigy and Temple.

It also helps us move beyond the limits of a one-week city to a culture that connects, creates and collaborates with its ever-growing community through other events and initiatives.

Burning Seed 2017 is happening from 27 September to 2 October! Tickets go on sale 7pm Friday 12 May (PRESALE) and 7pm Friday 19 May (GENERAL SALE).
