I bet he gets laid all the time with that line.

It's a bad bad negative feedback loop going on here. I go to burning man and have my hope in humanity restored, then I get all fucking excited and passionate and want to relate to other people that are all passionate and excited and shit over the Internet. Then I log into eplaya and watch videos of Donald Rumsfeld reminding me that it's pretty much hopeless...

If you're looking for restoration of hope in humanity at burning man then you've bought into the lie.
If you're looking for it on the interwebz then you're a god'damn fool.

digital, you should never go looking for the restoration of hope in humanity; it's too diverse a set to figure out. Look in the mirror first, because that's always where you'll find hope and maybe truth if you're not in the habit of kidding yourself.

I was going to throw a line in about finding it in your heart.. But that was way too hippy like and my camp would kick me out.

Hippies and pyro just don't mix. They are too damn flammable. :P

Low income cost $200 less then normal price. So 200 is to help subsidize low income and 200 is gouging/profiteering? What are the other programs that are subsidized by presale? If it were all for low income they would be free. Burning man scalps its own $390 tickets for $800 and people accept it. John/Jane Q whomever does the same thing and is vilified. Why?
omegared wrote:Presale is sold out, they sold out last year too. Presale sells out but just not as fast as the regular sale. They only offer so many Presale tickets because the extra money is "supposed" to support the low income ticket program. The point of presale, in theory, is to support other programs not generate profit.

You might want to check the definition of scalping. BM is the original seller and can charge whatever they want for their tickets and it wouldn't be called scalping.

You lost me. Are you referring to Hippies or scalped tickets?

The thread never had a clear focus. Even the OP was unclear conjecture.
Not to mention the OP hasn't bothered to respond. So I do not feel too bad drifting since mods have yet to lock it.

Yummy, bacon wrapped hippie flambé. We just need some Sriracha.

You're gonna need a little more than bacon and Sriracha to cover up the gamey hippie flavor. Perhaps if you had a ranch chaser...

Dude, you need to go ghost pepper or pure capsaicin to cover the patchouli.

Okay, troll. Given that BMorg determins the face value how can they be scalping?

Let me clarify for you since you have trouble understanding: $800 IS the face value of pre-sale tickets. You can't scalp tickets to your own event. Don't like it? Don't buy one. :roll:

Just be careful. Edibles always seem much more potent than simply smoking the hippy.
