Ok, now i see it: Though we have our sights set on a return to Black Rock City this year, we are still in the midst of an unpredictable pandemic. Should circumstance prevent us from bringing our city back this year, and force us to cancel the event before early May, we intend to make a one-time exce...

Straight from the tickets page from their website: Tickets to Black Rock City have always been nonrefundable. That’s because we use ticket revenue to produce the event, and a lot of that spending has to start right around the time ticket sales happen. Your ticket money helps defray the costs of our ...

Festival organizers announced today they’ve closed on a deal on Fly Ranch, a 3,800-acre property in Washoe County, Nevada, for $6.5m, half what owner Sam Jasick asked for a few years ago (he has since passed away, and his son Todd was more interested in closing the sale). At recent Burning Man festi...

Hello fellow STEPchildren.. Didn't have access to the WWW this weekend but just found an email in my inbox from Saturday at 4:20 am from STEP. 2 tickets @ $390. I already scored a couple from a buddy back in CT so these 2 are going to the next person in line. Timestamp of 12:21:05. See you all in th...

The main reason to initiate identity based tickets is to kill the black market. Do you whine about the inconvenience of identity based tickets when you buy an airline ticket? It makes sense and is very easy to utilize. As far as the last minute changes - well, that all comes down to good planning. I...

IMHO, The 2 REAL reasons the BMorg won't implement identity based tickets is greed and flat out laziness. Although the implementation of identity based tickets is quite simple, due to: 1) their database had the identity of each ticket purchaser via the ticket registration process 2) physical tickets...

Amongst the plethora of comments that the BMorg has been receiving, I hope that this one merits some true consideration from the powers that be. I’m an “experienced” burner… not that it makes me any more credible or deserving than a newbie or virgin. But I can offer my suggestions based upon multipl...

Fuck tickets – make it a FREE event. The ultimate playa gift!

I should have, but totally missed this thread

The street names for this year are as follows:

Admission
Begging
Craigslist
Denied
Entitlement
Fleeced
Greed
Hope
Ignored
Jaded
Lottery

As of this posting there are 3,000 signatures... This petition is to modify the lottery system for Burning Man 2012 to end hoarding and scalping, and revert to the old model for future events. "We formally petition the Board to modify the lottery system of Burning Man 2012, and a return to the previ...

I'll probably get blacklisted for saying this and my chances of getting a ticket now will be 1 in a million.... But, the official spokesperson is, IMHO.... INCOMPETENT! So Marian Goodell goes to LA this week to speak about how to successfully manage and grow your event. HA! What a joke! Maybe she ca...

Yes, I did in fact make a booboo. Thanks for checking my math. The correct amount is in fact north of $18,218,000.00. But hey, what's another $4MM ? As I've said from the beginning, the increase doesn't seem to be justified. And the annual reports that shows expenditures are worth not even the paper...

My dear unabashed pagan bitchslapped Nordic - its not whining. It's freedom of speech. And I will exercise that right, as I choose. You obviously don't feel that I should be using this forum as an avenue of doing so. So I will kindly ask you to spend your time on another topic, where your input migh...

To all those who are trying to explain that there are costs for putting on this event this year, save your keystrokes. Uhhhh, yeah, we know this. But this isn't the first year. And they either own the land or lease the land where they store their shit. And last time I looked property values were goi...

LOL @ lucky420...... Yes! I am going. But I don't like being fucked as I sit in line for 6 hours before I pass through the gate and hand over my $400.00. Whenever there is a price increase there is at least an explanation to try to justify the increase (with the exception of oil). So I sure would li...

If you want to go with the top tier being 360 last year, fine, a 9% increase. But the meat is in the volume. This year close to half of all ticket sales (25,000) are being sold at top tier (not including the 3,000 $420 tix). Last year maybe the last 5,000 -10,000 (or 20%) were sold at top tier. A li...

360 vs 390 is 9% Just look at the highest tiered ticket for one example: $390 this year vs $350 last year. And 25,000 of them this year. $40 increase over previous year's $350 price is 12%. Last year I bought tickets at the pre-Xmas price, which was $295. This year that ticket will cost $420 (nice n...

@ cryptofishist and Eric.... So you think a 25% hike in ticket prices is fair and just? What if your utility company hiked their rates by 25%? Would you like it and say, ahhh no worries. Of course not. Or, if your "other" favorite vacation destination jacked their rates by 25% in one year, would you...

Last year was the first year the event has ever sold out and there was close to 60,000 participants. It's impossible to tell how many "couldn't attend" because they couldn't get a ticket. But I think it was easily under a thousand. It would be interesting to know how many people got stuck with their...

Have you seen the price of tickets this year?  - $240:  10,000 tickets = $2,400,000.00     - $320:  15,000 tickets = $4,800,000.00     - $390:  15,000 tickets = $5,858,000.00 - $390: 10,000 tickets = $3,900,000.00 (secondary sale) - $420: 3,000 tickets = $1,260,000.00 (per Xmas sale) TOTAL: 53,000 t...

Here is a a quote from JRS. The total available tickets this year will exceed 56500. It will depend on how many low income tickets they make available beyond the 3500 they sold last year to determine the total amount...

Sometimes I have the feeling that the BMORG is seen as lazy evil which just dig money out of people going to BM. I just wonder how is it possible it is so easy for people to bark about those things and write angry emails. I wonder as well, how many people actually make/made the effort to write them...

How about they just get some of those XRay machines from TSA? Or maybe bring the border patrol in for a week of part time work? Or become a little more trustful of their participants.
