To automate the process of finding available tickets on Burning Man's forum, Manuel Ebert created a script that uses Kimono to extract data from the forum and Twilio to send notifications to friends in different time zones. The script checks for new posts every 15 minutes, extracts relevant information such as title, date, and replies, and sends a notification with the post details to three recipients. Once a friend responds first, the seller is notified, allowing them to sell the ticket. The script runs on a free Twilio trial account and can be set up using crontab. Manuel's Burning Man Ticket Notifier has helped him secure tickets for multiple events, including his own trip to Black Rock City.
