Thanks. Obviously we can only speculate, but knowing what the trend has been these past couple years is helpful. I guess the last time I was paying attention was in 2012, and indeed everyone was freaking out about the high prices until it turned out that it wasn't that bad closer to the event. Since...

Hey all, Haven't been to this Burning Man thing since 2011... I'm not sure yet about this year, but I was wondering how hard it would be to get a ticket in the last month. I'm planning to decide maybe at the OMG sales... What are my chances? People used to sell a bunch of tickets just before the eve...

Thanks Vargaso! I'm glad you like my idea!

Or or or... better idea yet. Have a lottery system backed up by everybody's name where everybody wins, but when tickets are sent in July only 30% of the tickets are sent. Maybe 20% more can be sent but they are fake and don't have the hologram. Another 25% are sent but they are for the previous year...

If you don't have tiers, what's the point of having a lottery?

hey, the OP has a point, they did jack up the price quite a bit (see Borris' post). Probably because they can and people are willing to pay that much. In their defense, I believe the prices hadn't increased for a few years.

So after we've debunked all your false assertions about the ticket system, your new reason is that you don't want to play a game? Seems like you just want to poop on the ticket system. You'd rather have a system where 30-40k tickets sell in the first 3 days and the people who get the cheap tickets a...

I've heard from an inside source that Harvey wants to step down from his responsibilities in the organization of the BM festival. Apparently he would like to concentrate more on his new baby, the non-profit, as well as developing the regional network. It seems that he is waiting until BM2012 is on t...

On the last Sunday I got stung by a wasp on my left ass cheek WTF. It was hiding in my underwear and stung me 3 times.

2007 was a triple rainbow

Crazier things certainly happened this year but for pure random hilarity, nothing beats the song I heard around noon on Saturday. I was biking over to a friend's camp, so around 4 & G, and heard this song blasting, it was kind of an upbeat cheesy techno song, and the lyrics (no idea if they were li...

^ ok, maybe not FUCKtard.......FARKTARD :) That's a good one. This whole thing makes me think I'm gonna create some kind of darktard event next year. Maybe a parade or something. With some rites of initiation where lights are removed. Darkwads unite! Oooh! Oooh! Let's invite DPW! They can bring the...

Ooh, ooh, I like that. That would be fun. Count me in.

Yellowpants i wasn't lucky enough to be out on the playa this year....so...you are now MY top Fucktard . congrats. :P true Sweet, I like that. :) Hope you make it next year. But seriously, Da Mule's topic is an obvious bait to people who are a bit too involved in this debate. I took it partly as a ...

Da mule's post seemed to be obvious sarcasm and parody of this whole debate, so I decided to jump in in the same tone. Buttons will be pushed, minds will be healed.

How hard is this to understand? When you aren't lit, you are a danger not only to yourself but also to other people. It is your RESPONSIBILITY to be visible by others. Doesn't mean you have to look like a sparkle pony. Just wear some blinkies FFS.

Glad to see everyone had a good customer experience...

Really dude? Well I care. I drive a flatbed truck out there, sometimes at night. It's a challenging driving environment, and non-illuminated people and objects makes it even more difficult. I want to be able see people when I'm driving, and I certainly would rather not run over anybody. I'm sure ma...

I feel like alot of people here and on other topics (as well as on the real playa) are getting on their high horses about "darkwads" (congrats on using the BM lingo BTW). I consciously decided not to wear any lights at night (I mostly walk). Who fucking cares? Now stop flashing your head lamp in my ...

In this situation the BRC rangers have recommended filling up the LEO feedback form on the same day. Apparently BRC rangers and LEO's have regular (daily?) meetings and feedback could potentially help this kind of stuff from happening again.

Let's not forget about Randy

It was sphere shaped, with some kind of lens (?) at the bottom and a green and red light (LED?), one on each side of the "lens". It was flying straight, at low and constant altitude. So you guys are saying this is remote controlled? Pretty impressive, I didn't know we were capable of making this kin...

The human mousetrap was awesome. We need more of this kind of stuff. I really enjoyed the process of getting trapped.

I am known to lose my pants when I'm excited, but nope, that wasn't it.

Carl Cox doesn't seem to be as popular as Daft Punk, but seems like a few dozen people still ended up at 4:30 and B looking for the world famous DJ.

Were you one of them?

No, I'm not talking about skydivers, or some random far away light/laser/kite/weather balloon. What I saw was an object flying right above my head (maybe 30 ft above me) during the temple burn. Anyone else seen it? I am pretty sure it was a UFO, since it was unidentified, and flying. And an object, ...

I lived up the street, and my reaction was to shout "ASS" repeatedly every time I walked by. Good times.

I would just skip a week of fasting (or at least drink during the day) and catch up it up later if I was Muslim.

Some cool ideas in there, thanks!

Is shelf milk UHT milk? Never seen that in the US... Maybe I missed it, do most stores have it?
