a lot of people are wondering what ticket sales are gonna be like next year. sign up for the newsletter at burningman.com and they'll let you know when tickets go on sale as well as give you tips and resources for getting prepared. i don't think you'll have any problem as long as you don't put off copping your tix. they're gonna be about 200-300 bucks. they sell in tiers, cheapest first to encourage buying early.
in addition to your tent and sleeping bag you're gonna need food and water for a week and a half. you'll need goggles to keep the dust outta your eyes, and a bandana to keep it out of your mouth. also sunscreen and chapstick.
there are villages that you can join for a fee (usually 200-300 bucks) that will provide a communal living space with shade, food and water. this is probably gonna be your best bet as a first-timer unless you're rolling with somebody who's been before. they'll look after you.
there are rideshares from the reno airport to the site. i haven't looked into it, but with a little googling you should find some info. i think gates open at midnight of the first day.
