It would encourage people to come early! It wouldn't be any more of a disaster than this stupid lotto was.

    i'd rather buy a non-transferable ticket, and pass on the ticket buying at the gate.
    between cash, credit, and debit transactions....security issues will arise.
    wouldn't it be much simpler to just go back to how tickets were sold in years past?

    lastly, make all tickets the same price.

    eliminate low-income tickets. everyone equal.

    if you want to attend/participate; save just $1.00/day, don't get a shitty $500 tattoo, use that $8.00/pack for smokes for a ticket. if you want to go, you'll find a way.

      Mike is a flat taxer! I think we should adopt a 9-9-9 tax: $9 to get in $9 for ice and $9 for each trip to blue heaven. And don't give me shit about how this is harder on the lower classes because RV's have toilets and refrigerators, I don't care about the poor.

        toilet? refrigerator? what i'd give to have those on the playa in my "rv!"
        oh, you make such assumptions.

        the only shitters i've used are the ones lined up outside.

        fridge? don't have one, never used one on the playa. but i do eat lots of tuna from foil pouches.

        >>>I don't care about he poor.<<<< it's apparent you know little about me.

        nutella, for such a sweet treat, you leave a bad taste.

        it's called discipline. making choices is difficult. how badly you want or need something will drive to make those decisions.

        >>>>don't give me shit about how this is harder for the lower classes because RV's have toilets, refrigerators, I don't care about the poor.<<<<

        let's be clear...i don't give a shit about those that CAN help themselves, but choose not to. for those that CANNOT help themselves, well i devote more resources and energy to them, than i ever have for burning man. those that know me, know my heart and hands are at the ready to always help.

        burning man is an artificial time and place in our hearts and minds. we try to bring back some of the love we feel/felt on the the playa to the default world. unfortunately it is not reality. it's an escape from the daily grind, from our daily struggles.

        there are still over 10,000 tickets available to those seeking them.

        was i just lucky to get an email just minutes after the 1/31 bell rang? or was it the universe acknowledging my positive contribution by me being me?
