It’s finally here…. TICKET INFORMATION
Some of you have been writing us for information about ticket sales for Nowhere 2023. Soas promised…
- FEBRUARY 22th: Low income applications will be open. We will publish a form on the website and will send it out here when we have it. Keep an eye out around these dates for more information.
- MARCH 9th: Pre sale codes will be emailed to those who completed at least one on site shift at Nowhere 2022as well as those who volunteer year-round for the NOrg. That’s a good reason to volunteer this yearisn’t it??

Alsowe have very exciting news regarding tickets this year:
First of alldon’t worrythey won’t be as expensive as last year.
Secondwe’ll be adding a middle tier ticket for people who can’t afford a full priced ticket but don’t want to apply for a low income ticketor who aren’t chosen in the low income ticket lottery.
We’ll have a confirmation of ticket prices and more info about the new middle tier tickets in time for our next newsletterbut we really want to stress that any reduced price ticket options are only for people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford to come to Nowhere.
It’s essential to all of us that we are as economically inclusive as possible. Stillbuilding our little temporary paradise in Los Monegros isn’t cheapand we’ll only be able to keep doing that if people don’t try to abuse the system. Not that any of you caring and loving human beings would ever consider such a thing.
Alsoif you’re ever wondering how we spend your hard earned ticket moneyall our financial data is open and accessible on our website – take a look!
