TICKETS

$10 per individual includes art, food and accommodations in a bunk in a communal room of 5 bunk beds. If you have friends coming and you want to be in the same communal room, send us an email at info@rudemechs.com so we can do our best to plan for that. No promises!

We are offering a $10 ticket with the great hope that you will make up the value of what you receive with a contribution to one of these fine organizations promoting Native American rights and equality through programming, public advocacy, and awareness-raising campaigns. Our net proceeds will be donated as well. If you aren't sure how much you should give, consider Taylor Swift tickets range from $1000 to $3500 and she probably won't feed you, board you, or hang out with you.
