For setup & strike volunteers

Travel Reimbursement

Elsewhere runs entirely on volunteer power. The people who arrived early to build the city and stayed late to take it down are the backbone of the event — and we want to make it easier for them to be there.

Elsewhere 2026 is over. If you were approved for a travel reimbursement, or came back to help with strike, here’s how to claim.


Back to Volunteering

What was this?

We offered travel expense reimbursements for volunteers who committed to early set-up or full strike. It was not a ticket discount — it was a reimbursement of actual travel costs, processed after the event. Places were limited and we prioritised volunteers for our most critical roles — infrastructure, build and cantina.

Everyone bought a ticket. This covered travel costs only. For volunteers who came back to help with strike after 14 July, we’re also offering a discount on their 2027 ticket as an additional thank-you.
