A Call for Community Support: Help Expand Equity Tickets – Pay It Forward!
We want to provide as many low-cost Equity Tickets as possible, but due to overwhelming demand we’re reaching our limit. We’ve allocated 10% of tickets in the SideBurn budget for reduced-cost access, but we can only go beyond that with community support.
When purchasing your ticket, you can add a $25 Pay It Forward contribution (or more!) to help fund additional low-cost tickets if you choose to. Every contribution goes directly toward making SideBurn more accessible for those who need it. We’d love to give an Equity Ticket to everyone who applies, and with your help, we can get closer to that goal.

Getting a Ticket
Step 1: Register for a ticket
Use the same name as on your government-issued ID during registration and validate your email address by clicking the link in the email we send you. Then, login and click “register here” to be entered into the randomized ticket lottery. While the system is not first-come first-serve, if you register before March 15th you ensure that you are considered in the first round of the randomized ticket lottery.
If you have trouble or aren’t sure if you’re registered, do not register again, contact ticketing@sideburn.ca and we’ll sort you out! If you register late, you’ll be added to the waitlist behind people who were not selected in the first round.
Step 2: Ticket selection
You have been selected! Now what? If you are selected in the lottery, you will receive a notification email. Congrats! You can now buy one (1) ticket and one (1) vehicle pass for yourself as well as any tickets for minors under your supervision within 72 hours of receipt of the email. If you do not purchase your ticket within that time, it will be released back into the ticket pool for another lucky SideBurner to snag. You can rejoin the end of the waitlist.
Oh no! I didn’t get selected! If you are not selected in the first round of the lottery, don’t panic! You’ll be added to the waitlist. More rounds of tickets may continue to be released, and tickets that are turned down or refunded will be offered to people on the waitlist.
Step 3: Download your ticket
You’ll immediately receive a PDF of your ticket via email. If you don’t see it, make sure you check your spam / junk folder first, then reach out to ticketing@sideburn.ca. There are absolutely no ticket sales at the gate.
