Hi Sean! Read the First-Timer's Guide and Survival Guide in all those months of waiting, I hope?

Surviving is great fun.

Welcome to the board . . .

I'll bet the guy on Youtube was Halcyon, with his Tips & Tricks! Tan, pink hair? He's wonderful. I like his advice about gifting. It's beautiful and he talks about it in a way I don't commonly hear discussed.

You hit that dead on the nose! I didnt understand gifting (at all) i really enjoy how he put it. (don't reject the gift if you dont have one to give in return reasoning).

There are a bunch of posts on needing a ticket.... was it this way last year (or the years before)?

I also like that he admits how good it feels, and that gifting is not 100% selfless; it's also a lot of fun.

Weirdly enough, for all its wildness, Burning Man (in some ways) is like a . . . structured laboratory experiment, in which one's natural instincts to Give are significantly less likely to meet with advantage-taking--or suspicion. And where you're reminded that the point is not really reciprocation, though you may. There are some other safer things: you can smile at someone with a very good chance they will smile back, or point out the Milky Way to a stranger ('cause you can totally see it) and they don't wonder what your deal is.

Burning Man has never sold out before, so I'm guessing no.

However, there have been years when tickets were not sold at the door, so this occasionally caused some wheeling and dealing . . . and the Tier system has been in effect for as long as I can remember, so there has always been someone looking for a lowball price.
