Anybody else see the irony of a hippie fest ticket costing $380?
From the LVRJ: Tickets for the Burning Man festival in Northern Nevada will soon go on sale, and some veteran participants complain the new prices are too steep.
Organizers of the eclectic art and music festival announced Friday that an allotment of 51,000 individual tickets will be available for $380 each.
Tickets opened at $240 last year, with prices steadily rising as the event approached, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported.
Of the 58,000 total tickets available this year, 4,000 will be available for $190 to those who qualify for the low-income plan. Another 3,000 tickets have already been sold as part of a holiday promotion.
Organizers scrapped last year's contentious lottery system and will offer tickets on a first-come, first-served basis. http://www.lvrj.com/news/burning-man-tickets-to-go-on-sale-for-380-185763631.html
The hippies are now just screwing the little people, just like corporations do. Maybe even worse.
