Balsa Bingo, Aug 11th

It's the first ever Balsa Man Bingo! Don't have a ticket to this year's Balsa Man? What to get on the special location announcement list. This is your chance!

Due to the new ticketing rules, only ticket holders get on the location announcement list; if you do not yet have a ticket, you must either be an artist and submit an art grant or come to one of the Ticket Casino Events. The Balsa Bingo Event is the first such event (others are TBD). For more read our Updated Ticket & Location Announcement Policy.
