If you have a child or minor family member to bring to Lakes of Fire, you will handle all the registration and ticketing for them on Volunteeripate. After you receive a ticket offer for yourself, you will have a chance to purchase tickets for your minors in Step 2 of the checkout. That step is where we collect information from you, the legal guardian, about your minors:
If you’re unsure if your minor family member will be able to join you at Lakes of Fire, you can also purchase minor tickets at a later time.
Who sees this information? And how long is it stored? Good question. During ticket checkout for a minor, you will see this information:
“All information provided regarding minors is stored securely and can only be accessed by event organizers. This information will only be accessed by Gate at check-in and if you report your child missing during the event. All information regarding minors will be purged from the system after the event.
“A minor only needs to be registered once by a legal guardian. Should you wish to add another legal guardian to your registered minor please visit the Your Dashboard link in the menu after completing your ticket registration to add additional legal guardians.”
Ticket Transfers will open for selected ticket types (volunteer, lottery, fire sale (if applicable), and theme camp directed) on April 19, 2025, at 4:20 PM Eastern Time.
A full-price ticket to Lakes of Fire in 2025 is $195, plus ticketing and processing vendor fees.
We appreciate them for their years of work on our behalf and wish them well. Over the years, GLEA’s information needs have grown enough to support an in-house volunteer and ticket management platform.
