The Perfect BM Ticket would work like this:
- People get their ticket number immediately when purchasing;
- Only real individuals get to purchase tickets, not companies, not bots, not scalpers, not scammers;
- People can resell their tickets at any time, from day 1 of purchase;
- Ticket resell is only for the face value or less.
- There's no way to sell the ticket for a higher price;
- People can gift the ticket free to anyone;
- Ownership transfer takes seconds;
- The buyer and seller knows immediately and for sure that the transfer went well;
- The seller knows for sure he'll receive the money;
- The buyer knows for sure the ticket is valid and now belong to him.
- Tickets can't be stolen in the mail or in your house door or your car;
- Tickets can't be faked;
- Tickets can't be lost;
- You can just show up naked at the gate and the system will still allow your entrance;
- It is very easy and clear for people to see they're being scammed;
- In case someone decides to purchase a fake ticket from a scammer, the system makes it very clear for the person to feel they're taking a huge dumb risk that looks nothing like a real purchase;
- In case someone decides to pay extra for a real ticket (say, face price + extra deposit), the system favors the buyer for the face value, the extra must be payed outside the BM ticket system.
- Scammers can't do the voided-ticket trick anymore;
- There is no void list because all tickets are magically perfect;
- If you miss this year, the ticket is still valid for one more year;
- You can leave and go back to Burning Man, for a fee, but without any worry of loosing a reentry paper;
- Not one single person goes through horror stories of getting entrance denied;
- No one gets kicked out of the will call parking lot, no one cries, no one prepare for months to get their entrance denied.
- Everything ticket related works like an Utopia, they laugh at the old antique system and wonder how their ancestors managed to live on such a primitive system.
- People rejoice and celebrate in pure awe how the the ticket system is the pinnacle of human intelligence. It is the summoned knowledge of many decades that makes us stand on the shoulders of giants.
