Well, depending upon how this year goes, there may not be a ticket shortage next year. Maybe someone will spin off a parallel event. There are a lot of people ready to go somewhere. I read somewhere that they had demand for 140,000 tickets. So maybe there is someone out there thinking 90,000 x $200 ...

Here are a number of suggestions from burners within the BM community in Denmark. Theme camps are a central part of BM. BM could allocate a specific number of tickets for theme camps, ie. as part of an application a theme camp advises how many tickets it will need. Depending on BOrg’s evaluation of...

Idea #1, for 2013 and beyond: Idea #2, 2012: Ship the tickets now and let the market do its thing. Ice Cabbie. Except sell all the tickets for 2012 and 2013 now, no restrictions or no rules, and let the market do its thing. Or would that be an even worse disaster? I don't know. I'm drifting back to...

Here we go - the core issue for the Directed Ticket Distribution committee. Can these mere mortals know the true believers when they sift through the database? Well no, of course not. Can we all admit that it is not going to be fair and try to help their impossible task instead? Let's hope that thos...

Btw - I'm completely with the notion that the ratio of true believers to newbies should be 80/20. For a lot of reasons. The problem is "who gets to decide?" Remember high school parties? Heathers covet passing judgment on other people. This is a classic shout out for "elitist democracy". We might ha...

@spirited Thanks for accentuating the positive. There will always be blog sparring, as long as there are people who don't get enough attention at home. But let's drown it out with ideas until we fix 2012. I think this year is headed toward the worst burn ever. Diluted to the point of a fraterity rus...

One way to increase the number of tickets is simply to sell 2013 tickets right now. All of them. Maybe even sell 2014 tickets this spring. This could solve the core burner quota requirement. I'm sure that the various groups could swap purchased tickets to form whole camps this year and whole camps n...

So work with the notions, concepts, ideas, something in the virtual real time, pseudo participation category. The technology exists. Maybe a million people could share the experience. Which reminds me, I forgot to add that the voyeurs should have some control too. Participation. Perhaps the voyeurs ...

BM PT ratio soars to 2.7! (person-per-ticket ratio, like it?) Well, this a worthy problem to solve. I love the burn, mainly for the way people treat each other. But this is not about my thing. I'm seeing a lot of posts with the notions to raise the number of tickets, lower the number of interested p...
