Attendees are encouraged to donate to the fueling depot the amount of fuel that they estimate they will use during their time at FireDrums. If fuel supplies become low, a call out to the community during the festival for additional donations will be made. Lamp oil and white gas are the most commonly used fuels at FireDrums. Please see the Fire Safety section of the website for more information.

This year's FireDrums venue has no kitchen facility and the costs to build one were cost-prohibitive. In an effort to keep ticket prices down, the decision was made to forgo adding the costs to build a kitchen to the price of tickets and, instead, give FireDrums attendees control over their own food costs.

Never say never, we say. There won't be one this year, but there is always the possibility of finding a way to bring prepared communal meals back to FireDrums in the future.

Tickets go on sale earlier than they have in the past so that attendees have more time to plan travel - especially those who are purchasing airfare and are shopping for low priced advanced fares. An earlier ticket sale date also allows workshop organizers more time to evaluate workshop applications, to confirm workshop instructors are actual ticketholders, and to create a great workshop schedule.

To transfer a ticket, do the following:

1. 1. Log in to your FireDrums account at the top right corner of the FireDrums.org home page.
2. 2. Click on YOUR INFO at the top right corner of the screen.
3. 3. Click on TICKETS in the top middle area of the screen. You will then see all the individual tickets you hold.
4. 4. Click on the TRANSFER link next to one of the tickets you hold. You will be taken to a screen where you can search for the name of the person to whom you would like to transfer your ticket. Remember, they must have a FireDrums account too.
5. 5. When you find the name of the person to whom you would like to transfer your ticket, click SELECT to complete the transfer.

When you return to your ticket information under YOUR INFO, you will see that you will now be shown as the Purchaser of the ticket and that your friend is the new Holder of the ticket, and your friend will receive an email notifying them that a ticket has been added to their FireDrums account.

There will be no FireDrums ticket waitlist this year. All tickets will be released for sale on February 1, 2012 and will be available until supply is gone.

If you purchase a ticket and find you are no longer able to attend FireDrums, please locate a buyer for your extra ticket(s) via the FireDrums Facebook Group Forum and arrange a transfer of funds between you. Then, directly transfer your ticket from your FireDrums account to their FireDrums account.

You will need to complete all ticket transfers by 11:59pm Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) on Sunday, May 27, 2012.

Everyone who attends FireDrums is asked to contribute four (4) volunteer hours to help run the festival. This helps keep ticket prices lower when everyone pitches in. Plus, FireDrums has always been an event for the fire community by the fire community. Volunteering makes the success of FireDrums everyone's success. You can sign up to volunteer under the Volunteer section of the website.
