I heard that most of the money goes toward maintaining Camp #1. Jumbo shrimp and air conditioning are just the beginning. If these types of things are cut out, the tickets would probably be $150 less.

I don't know about other people, but I am waiting for the tickets to go on sale for Zacfest. I'll bet for the first few years, things could stay below the radar and BLM wouldn't even know it was taking place.

Ditto!!!

I think the price is okey dokey, especially when you consider that the longer you attend, the cheaper the "per night" cost is.

But wait!! As an added bonus you get un-limited entry into a myriad of theme camps offering the finest in adult beverages, food, sports and recreation

If you act now, we'll through in some truly wild and crazy art, and playa dust in the crack of your ass, absolutely free!!

And for a limited, online only order, truly unique swag, given to you, by a sultry participant, when you least expect it.

Don't miss out on this limited time offer, as you may already be a winner!

Internet operators are standing by, so act now.

I just love fuck stains that have to cry because Burning Man costs so much. Itâ€™s another case of what Burning Man â€œshould be.â€

Hey, there's another thread where you can buy a cupcake car for only $25,000.00. Maybe you should check over there too, while you're bitching.

The price is what it is. Like it or not. The choice is yours.

Best value on the planet, why don't you go invest in lottery tickets so you won't get burned? You're right, you got burnt, don't go again, we'll burn your ass everytime, stay home and count yer money.

so,, Zac never reared his ugly head again. But what I'm wondering is.. Zac, did you go and have a good time & get your moneys worth?

zachass · Post by **zachass** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 11:33 am

I'm also a Zach and despite my handle, I'll be a willing ticket-buyer this year as a birgin.

I want to thank the folks who posted the links to the financials. Interesting reading - I had NO IDEA it cost that much to put this on. All of the time, effort & sweat....and a welcoming spirit for newbs like me to come experience your wonderful festival?

THANK YOU.

See Zac? Not hard.

Moran.

I too am shocked that we did not reply to the op's question with love and radical inclusion. After all, he did word it very sensitively. I have never seen such an outpouring of intolerance and negativity on the internet, let alone on this normally supportive forum.

Some of the comments have been over the top.

If you're paying for a ticket, it's more than reasonable to want to know what you're paying for.

I remember being a little shocked at the non-refundable ticket prices when I started buying them.
And very concerned about eating the ticket if I couldn't make the +4000 mile trip.
And they were around $90 or less when I started buying them.

A powerful argument, yet I remain oddly unimpressed.

Post by **Sham** » Sat Dec 05, 2009 8:15 pm

It comes right down to what YOU feel the ticket is worth as well what BMorg thinks the market will bare. It's basic capitalism. If it costs more to produce the event than what participants feel the ticket is worth, then the even will go away.
2009 was the first year that attendance dropped. BMorg now knows where the line is that they are teetering on.

One of the best places I've traveled to, and not near the most costly trips I've taken. No other destination has had such enduring resonance. Good value I think.

Sheez what a tool this guy is. You're paying all that money because the people at the top who organize Burning man are slowly collecting all the money they need to eventually lock us onto the playa, some say the year of 2012, and make us their eternal slaves for various sick, demented, and sexual pleasures and fetishes.

all RIGHT! Can I choose which member of the LLC exploits me, or is that "being married" thing an absolute show stopper?
