This is Nickel and Dime shit

I go for the really big ones you hetero!

At first I though this was about eplaya Porno,

where's my refund for spending my sleepin time wasted on a person that was cheated out of a cheaper tic.

I 'm concerned more about Littleflower losing two bucks though!

Just let th4 credit card company fight this for you . They can get your credit card refunded and the ticket voided just in time for you to purchase more tickets at the highest price. Ain't that wonderful?

If paypal processed the payment at the 1st tier price, it's very simple.
They need to refund any overcharge.
Simple.

Did it process at that price?

That's quite a colorful insult... but it doesn't carry any weight because it's just mudslinging crap you made up. The opinion about you expressed unanimously by the population here is based directly on what you have demonstrated about yourself.

You aren't guaranteed or entitled to a Burning Man ticket at any specific price level. Screaming bloody murder because you didn't get one cheaper than almost everyone else is being a crybaby. $60 is a fucking drop in the bucket in the total cost to go. I bet you really suck to go anywhere with!

Same here with the double charge.

I have yet to get tickets as I am still pissed off about getting f'ed that day. I'll buy the tickets soon, but I am still pissed off. Yes it is only money, but f' me, get it right. Why does it have to cost me extra?

Wow

I wasnt online last night....
Sometimes I really wonder about people....
You have no idea, what the power of that measley $60.00 in Kharmatic Love bridge was going to do for you....now you'll never know.


When something strange/bad/pocket hurtful happens to MYSELF, I always think about it this way...there is a reason.
This one may perhaps be just as small as being able to grant a ticket at the first tier to someone going through some hard core finacial shit. Maybe this person had said to itself, "that If I cant get in a tier one, in reality, again, I will miss my first year at going to burningman."

What you may be bitching about, may indeed have been a GIFT to a unbeknownst to you, future burner!

12 years.
Wow if I EVER get that Jaded about Burningman... I shall simply not go.
"that was easy"

Im truely sorry for you BMFME, you cant even look into your heart and even Imagine a wonderful tear streaming down the cheek of that person who got your ticket!

Gifts sometimes are best when you dont know who you gifted it to.

Its a fun and wonderous imagination game...just imagine the poor sap/sapp'el who wished upon a star that their broken down piece of shit computer theyve had for 9 yrs would be able to hang onto the que for that golden ticket of dreams to come.

or that peeps, who said THIS will be the year. I cant figure out how ill pay to get there yet...but if I have a ticket...I might meet my goal.

your rude and mean. have a heart. most burners do.

You COMPLETELY miss the point! I was fucked by the system.. Yes, I have become quite jaded over the years at the Man, and what it has BECOME. It has BECOME nothing but a money machine.. THAT IS IT!.. PERIOD. I ONLY come for the ART and friends, I sure as hell don't come for the sex... I get far more than one man SHOULD get. I don't come for the drugs... I don't need the desert as an excuse to get wasted. I ONLY come for the art, you see art on the playa that you can't see ANYWHERE else.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH the $60 at ALL!!! It has to do with the fucking corporate BORG assholes. Being just that. I am stuck in my little world when I thought The Burning Man Org was cool. It is totally clear that those days are long gone & it is time for me to find a better organization to spend my 2 weeks vacation. Corporate America has assimilated the BORG now & its time to move on. All you damn hippies that say, "Oh dude, just be cool.. it's only $60." Your a bunch of damn morons that have bought into the BORG's thinking. If this was ANY other event you wouldn't be such happy fucks if said other event took your $60.
All you damn hippies will some day see that the Man is nothing more than a money machine. It's TOTAL bullshit that they have all got you programmed to just willing let your money flow into their bank accounts.
I for one will not be one of the BORG's Minions. I will fight this to the end. And if I don't get my $ from these corporate assholes... I won't be on the playa. It has NOTHING AT ALL to do with the $$ NOTHING AT ALL. It's the corporate bullshit. I GO TO the Man for the art and to "get away from it all"... But I can't get away from it all if the damn corporate world has taken over the BORG.. and that is EXACTLY what is going on now.

>>>>All you damn hippies will some day see that the Man is nothing more than a money machine.<<<<

i'm pretty sure most do relize larry makes a few dollars from the event, but think of it this way,,, the money you spent on a ticket this year will inevitably be the low teir ticket price next year. your just a year ahead...
in the 12 years of attending have you ever given back to the event by volunteering...?...

Yes I am and I will even mail you the receipt to prove I followed through on my promise. Having said that, it needs to be a socially conscientious charity, not something ridiculous or unethical. Take your pick.

It's usually just a matter of time before these knuckle-dragging slobberdonkeys reveal their true colors.

You COMPLETELY miss the point! I was fucked by the system..
No, no we get it. We get that you fail to include the part of the equation where you freely entered into what's basically a lottery with conditions that are posted up front on the web site before you enter your information. In your rush to be Mr. Me First you probably didn't take the time to check the fine print. Most people don't. That doesn't make you stupid.


The first tier ticketing (online ONLY) usually has associated with it certain conditions. Though many of those conditions may not be likely they're certainly possible and given the record of snafus over the years probably likely. Basically it boils down to being a crap shoot. Not acknowledging that doesn't make you stupid either. But given the amount of sniveling it does make you an asshole. And throwing the 'fag' comment out there as a retort makes you an especially loathsome little man.

Please respond with assurances that you in fact will not be attending the event in 2009. I'm sure most of us will find it cause for some appropriate celebration.

Wow. Truely... Wow.
Both of my parents died of cancer.
I think a donation to the American Cancer Society would be my choice.

I am truly overwhelmed with your generosity. Your willingness to do this has tamed the beast within.. To the point I want to cry. My God dude/dudette.
There still is good people at The Man. Might you be the only one? My jaded feeling of The Man MAY still be valid for the most part, but your kindness makes me feel like I can climb over all the loser hippie drunks, that carelessly toss their cheap beer cans on the playa & in the porta potties and think its funny.

Your one of the good ones.

Thanks...

Hey, no problem, but you should know that I could be mistaken for a hippie on a good day and I have been known to imbibe on the playa (not dumping my moop in a port o potty of course) My experiences at BM for my son and I have been nothing but amazing so I would hazard a guess that I am not the "only one" but rather passing it forward from the many, many people who are so wonderful to me each year there.

I'm not a computer savoy person so I can't speak to whether or not the ticketing screw ups are totally preventable. I can however say to myself, if I have to spend more money, what organization do I want to spend it with? BM is a pretty good option, I think. I also consider the fact that I live in another country, thousands of miles away and I will never be able to contribute an art installation at BM. There are so many artists who go into debt each year to delight my and my child's senses and for that I am so grateful.



Peace.

P.S. PM me your mailing address so I can send you the receipt.

Hey pal, how about letting me know where you plan on camping this year so I can plan on being on the opposite side of the playa from you? People like you are exactly the kind of people that I go to BM to escape from. Self entitled, hateful people.

After reading that statement I sincerely hope that you never return to BRC. You are nothing more than a fucking spectator anyway based on your previous comments as to why you go, and the playa would be better off without you.

And anyone that posts a statement like the one I quoted above needs a serious karmic bitch slap...whatever bad karma you released will likely come back on you tenfold....and in this case that would be most appropriate.
