http://www.burningman.com/news/1…"Tickets For Burning Man 2011 Sold Out"
"If you are selling your ticket, we strongly encourage you to sell it at face value, or better yet, gift it!"
"better yet, gift it!" - um what the fuck? how many of the original tickets were gifted?
- my group got 5 gifted tickets. we got 3 last year as well.capn_ron
- you'd understand if you knew the culturescarabin
- well that's cool as fuck then capnregiste
- lol @ know the culture, get over yourself nathanregiste
- i'm not into myself, it's a perfectly valid pointscarabin
- the culture is based on giftingscarabin
- the very notion of being told by the org you bought from to give the ticket away is hypocriticalregiste
- "we make the money off these tickets, we prefer no one else does."registe
- yeah i jumped to that conclusion too before i fully considered the situationscarabin

if you buy tickets at face value only you help assure that the scalping market doesn't get out of hand. scalpers are realizing that these tickets are pretty much the most profitable tickets they can sell and it's shitty to fuck people over like that so we try to keep it to a minimum.

i'm about to pimp my bike. got some pink zebra striped duct tape! lol
- seffis0
My ride is all pink and green duct tape. I had a bit of an EL wire disaster, so I'm going to have to adapt my concept for night. Better to figure it out now when I'm not in the middle of a dust storm.
See y'all on the playa!

Next year I'm going to buy as many tickets as I can when they go on sale and then scalp them for top dollar to all these drug induced happy-go-feely neue hippies. Looks like there is bank to be made.
- how about you GFY first.sea_sea
- or you could buy all the tickets and take your friends and have a great timescarabin
- Nah. I'd rather make money off stupid people willing to fork over a ton to hang in a dessert. Capitalism, it's the American way.MarleyMarl
- i don't care what you do but just out of curiosity, why are you being a dick?scarabin
- Just trying to make a buck. Why the hate?MarleyMarl
- i have no hate for youscarabin
- it's more the feeling you get when looking at a pathetic guy trying to impress his stupid friends by acting like a douchescarabin
- or when hearing the lonely mewling of kittensscarabin
