GREED: WHAT'S GOING ON W BURNING MAN TICKETS DISGUSTS ME!!!!

[ykonchit]

This entire experience with respect to what happened with Burning Man tickets this year is disgusting. The organizers of Burning Man don't care about their supporters. They sold all the tickets to their friends in disguise, who are the dealers who now sell for higher prices. Burning Man is not about corporate profits, and what is happening now is exactly the opposite. We should all boycott Burning Man and stop going there. The only option to fix this disgusting behavior is if the organizers will sell only individual tickets, such that a ticket is associated with a name. If there is a resale, the buyer and seller can transfer ownership online or by calling BM office. However, the organizers just want to boost their profits so they sold huge chunks of the tickets early on. This is disgusting. Many people that really want to go cannot go now.

Frankly, I am happy to not go this year and fuck this Burning Man. I have been going for about seven times by now, but it's time to leave it for all the commercialized and corporate people who don't really know what BM used to be about. Shame on you BM----I am going to celebrate the release from this festival that became so fake. Whoever go there, remember that you give hand to greedy people in the disguise of peace and love.

Y.K.

You are very angry.
I think your anger is misdirected; I have seen no evidence that the sell out had anything to do with anything other than the lack of a larger capacity in this year's permit. Ticket prices are dropping on craigslist, and there seems to be an increase in availability over 2, 3 weeks ago as well.
Of course, it may be time for you to take a vacation from the event, or to leave it altogether. I know you will make your own choice; I, personally, prefer to be clear on what is happening and why, rather than having to ascribe--or misascribe--blame.

It is not at all about anger. It is about organizers who sold the tickets to dealers who make money. This is my point---you are trying to depict a misleading reality that is different than the real one.

We should all boycott Burning Man and stop going there.

Go ahead, and while you're at it, create something better.
