Nighttime temps: in the high 50s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That forecast follows an atypical start to the annual gathering in north-central Nevada's Black Rock Desert. Thunderstorms swept across the site Monday morning, flooding the desert playa that's transformed every year into Black Rock City. The wet weather turned the site into muck. Since Burners headed to the site Monday would be driving across the temporarily impassable desert floor, event organizers asked police to shut down access to the site Monday; the route was reopened early Tuesday. A Burning Man live webcam (\u003ca href=\"#burningmanwebcam\">embedded below\u003c/a>) shows the site has drained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Monday's road closure, in Wadsworth, on Nevada Highway 447 just north of Interstate 80 east of Reno, Burners were forced to find alternate sites to park overnight. According to the Associated Press:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... In Reno, hundreds of \"Burners\" were forced to overnight on the Wal-Mart blacktop. Nearly a hundred other RVs pulled into the parking lot of the Grand Sierra Resort casino, across the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're just trying to stay positive,\" said a woman from Oakland, who identified herself only as \"Driftwood,\" and was hanging out with some first-timers from Texas. \"Positivity can raise everything up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most took the rain delay in stride, and sure enough, organizers announced after midnight that they could roll onto the lake bed Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You take it as it comes,\" said Mark Vanlerberghe, who pulled into the Wal-Mart in an RV he drove from San Jose. \"I guess that's part of being a Burning Man: Don't get stressed about it.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.rgj.com/story/news/2014/08/25/facing-rain-delay-burners-head-pyramid-lake/14602621/\" target=\"_blank\">Reno Gazette-Journal reports\u003c/a> that many other Burners headed to \u003ca href=\"http://www.pyramidlake.us/\" target=\"_blank\">Pyramid Lake\u003c/a>, on the large Paiute tribal reservation northeast of Reno. Here's how the paper describes the scene:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"We're going to make good of a bad situation,\" said Shaft Uddin, also of London, attending his second Burning Man. \"I hear Pyramid Lake is beautiful and apparently there is going to be a big party there and potentially a massive orgy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 2 p.m. Monday, yellow Volkswagen buses, countless recreation vehicles and at least one school bus painted to look like a cheetah with whiskers on the hood packed Block House beach at Pyramid Lake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Close to a dozen of those first arrivals took off their clothes and entered the lake. Within an hour, a park ranger drove up and asked them to put their clothes back on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How can you not know that it is not OK to be naked in public?\" the ranger asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ranger then asked an Israeli man named Otto to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They told me to leave,\" a then-clothed Otto said. \"I said, 'I'm sorry' and he told me I could stay.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Nighttime temps: in the high 50s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That forecast follows an atypical start to the annual gathering in north-central Nevada's Black Rock Desert. Thunderstorms swept across the site Monday morning, flooding the desert playa that's transformed every year into Black Rock City. The wet weather turned the site into muck. Since Burners headed to the site Monday would be driving across the temporarily impassable desert floor, event organizers asked police to shut down access to the site Monday; the route was reopened early Tuesday. A Burning Man live webcam (\u003ca href=\"#burningmanwebcam\">embedded below\u003c/a>) shows the site has drained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Monday's road closure, in Wadsworth, on Nevada Highway 447 just north of Interstate 80 east of Reno, Burners were forced to find alternate sites to park overnight. According to the Associated Press:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... In Reno, hundreds of \"Burners\" were forced to overnight on the Wal-Mart blacktop.

Within an hour, a park ranger drove up and asked them to put their clothes back on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How can you not know that it is not OK to be naked in public?\" the ranger asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ranger then asked an Israeli man named Otto to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They told me to leave,\" a then-clothed Otto said. \"I said, 'I'm sorry' and he told me I could stay.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A camp that has four people in it will have a pretty good chance of getting four tickets if they enter into the random selection in January. We don't believe that demand outstrips supply by all that much; this is just a more organized way to approach the sale of the tickets.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, that's not the way it worked out. Demand for tickets was huge this year, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/13/arts/music/burning-man-ticket-lottery-problems-anger-regulars.html\">freezing out many long-time Burners\u003c/a>. Yesterday, Burning Man announced it would release 10,000 tickets to long-time festival participants who meet certain criteria. From the \u003ca href=\"http://blog.burningman.com/2012/02/news/ticket-update-rebuilding-black-rock-city-2012/\">Burning Man blog\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We have made the difficult decision to take the 10,000 tickets that were slated to be sold via the Secondary Open Sale and manually redirect them to some of the vital groups and collaborations that make up Black Rock City: volunteers, theme camps, mutant vehicles, art installations and performance groups. These groups already have a relationship and contact points within the organization. We’re in the process of proactively identifying and reaching out to the established groups that fall into each of these categories, and offering organizers access to purchase enough tickets to provide for essential crew members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because we know this number cannot possibly satisfy the entirety of that demand, we will use practical criteria to determine eligibility. These groups will be reviewed for:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-History – A camp, project or participatory work must be in our database from past years. (We have ways to track name changes for groups over time.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Demonstrated Community Benefit – A project has been interactive in a way that has been experienced as meaningful, provides support for Black Rock City’s infrastructure, or provides services for our community. Basically, how the project helps make the community and create its magic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-LNT – A group has demonstrated adherence to and good practices around Leave No Trace and are committed to our community perpetuating the message of LNT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-10 Principles – A group or project fully embraces the \u003ca href=\"http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/about_burningman/principles.html\">10 Principles\u003c/a> in their entirety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This analysis will consider a wide variety of projects rather than favoring just one type — large camps and small ones, self-funded as well as honorarium artists, Mutant Vehicles of all shapes and sizes, and performers of all kinds. The goal is to carefully and conscientiously reconstruct the rich tapestry of our community, based on information we’ve accumulated over years of facilitating our city around these key groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This process is not going to be perfect … it’s not always going to feel fair. And we’re well aware that there will be still be a great many deserving people who will be left out because we don’t have the means to welcome everyone. Again, there are no foolproof solutions for these remaining tickets, only tradeoffs. But we’re confident that through this process, we’ll be able to bolster some of the social, artistic and functional infrastructure of Black Rock City. This is by far one of the most difficult decisions we’ve ever had to make, and we do not make it lightly, but after much consultation and review of your feedback, we feel this approach has the widest base of support and is the best one to assure that we can build Black Rock City in 2012.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Read the \u003ca href=\"http://blog.burningman.com/2012/02/news/ticket-update-rebuilding-black-rock-city-2012/\">full announcement here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, KQED's Joshua Johnson talked to Burning Man Director of Business and Communications Marian Goodell about the painful dilemma the festival found itself in this year.

What we have that is like nothing else I've ever been to -- Bonnaroo, Coachella -- none of them have a core community- based collaborative. They don't have collaborative camps where the principle of community and collaboration is what drives the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making sure we preserve that core is what we're now faced with. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We knew in a sell-out situation there were going to be some failures to the system. So we had a relief valve to take care of a small amount of that. But the degree to which the interest of the event worldwide has pushed this beyond anything we saw coming. There's no way we saw the interest for that number of tickets at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why did demand spike so much this year?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Marian Goodell\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've watched our culture worldwide begin to grow. Burning Man is recognized more broadly than it had been and not just in the alternative culture; it's now touched more mainstream places. I think what we're doing in the world is very engaging, to be upholding values of self-expression, self-reliance, and also communal efforts, civic efforts. In this day and age where people are feeling disconnected and separated we offer a pretty engaging alternative. With nothing being sold at the event, people really buy into the idea that they can come and connect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of a lottery, the perception is that there's a limited chance of being one of the ones that has the golden ticket, so that created a sense of scarcity and a sense of panic, and that exacerbated the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why did you switch to a lottery in the first place?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Marian Goodell\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">To say that the sky was falling and it was the end of Burning Man is basically what we thought.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Burners have real jobs, and no matter what you're doing, you end up trying to get online at 12:01 to get tickets. In the past, in order to get a ticket, people were telling stories of sitting by their computer for x amount of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So we felt if we're already in a situation of scarcity, and if we're already going to be out of tickets, why not create a registration opportunity where queuing is your lottery, and the lottery has different odds. So you might register at six p.m. that night and your odds of getting a ticket would potentially be the same as if you were standing in line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You say the blame has been misplaced on the lottery system...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Marian Goodell\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It depends on what your perspective is and which problem you're looking at. We have people who think we have enabled scalpers, and some people point to the harm to the social fabric. Some people feel like they don't know who got tickets so they think that newbies got them. So that any one of these means the system has failed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lottery process, the random drawing, succeeded in picking people to attend the event. It did not succeed in filtering out scalpers and it actually damaged the core collaborative center of the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was due to the degree of interest. If the interest had stayed within the range we thought it would, which was 10 percent or 20 percent over capacity, instead of the more than double it turned out to be, we figured the system would work itself out. We had another sale coming up later and we had low-income tickets. We thought we were setting up a distributed environment where there were a bunch of opportunities. But to have twice as much interest negates the community core of the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What was it like when it became apparent that the system would not work in the way you hoped?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Marian Goodell\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we realized before the random drawing happened was that the level of interest meant it was going to be one in three people that received a ticket. It was very terrifying and very upsetting because we didn't know what that meant. Who are these other people, where are the tickets going, what are we going to do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It became even more serious when we began to hear from longtime camp members that basically 25 percent of their group hadn't received a ticket. To say that the sky was falling and it was the end of Burning Man is basically what we thought. We figured if we didn't solve this, we had gutted the social fabric of an event that depends on it for its magic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nTo burners who say you should just get rid of the lottery, what would you say? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Marian Goodell\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAt this point we can never go back to the way it was. There is no way to guarantee that the first 3,000 or 10,000 people are the ones running the theme camps. No one can be in everyone's home making them put their fingers up to the keyboard so they get tickets before someone in St. Louis who just heard about it for the first time -- who saw the video and now they really want to go -- does. That's not a system that upholds the social fabric either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What as you go forward, gives you confidence that you'll be able to solve this? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Marian Goodell\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solve is relative. I think we're going to be able to move forward by listening to the community and see what it is they need. We've got a couple of ideas, and we need to be able to grow a little bit if not a lot. This is not a straightforward thing; it's not like you just move the venue to a bigger stadium. We have a relationship with the BLM, we have a restricted road system, we have a small community that we go through. It's not just a numbers game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason why it's taking us time, if we can put it all together it will make for a much more successful step forward. If we put little pieces in place, there won't really be any stability.

A camp that has four people in it will have a pretty good chance of getting four tickets if they enter into the random selection in January. We don't believe that demand outstrips supply by all that much; this is just a more organized way to approach the sale of the tickets.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, that's not the way it worked out. Demand for tickets was huge this year, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/13/arts/music/burning-man-ticket-lottery-problems-anger-regulars.html\">freezing out many long-time Burners\u003c/a>. Yesterday, Burning Man announced it would release 10,000 tickets to long-time festival participants who meet certain criteria. From the \u003ca href=\"http://blog.burningman.com/2012/02/news/ticket-update-rebuilding-black-rock-city-2012/\">Burning Man blog\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We have made the difficult decision to take the 10,000 tickets that were slated to be sold via the Secondary Open Sale and manually redirect them to some of the vital groups and collaborations that make up Black Rock City: volunteers, theme camps, mutant vehicles, art installations and performance groups. These groups already have a relationship and contact points within the organization. We’re in the process of proactively identifying and reaching out to the established groups that fall into each of these categories, and offering organizers access to purchase enough tickets to provide for essential crew members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because we know this number cannot possibly satisfy the entirety of that demand, we will use practical criteria to determine eligibility. These groups will be reviewed for:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-History – A camp, project or participatory work must be in our database from past years. (We have ways to track name changes for groups over time.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Demonstrated Community Benefit – A project has been interactive in a way that has been experienced as meaningful, provides support for Black Rock City’s infrastructure, or provides services for our community. Basically, how the project helps make the community and create its magic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-LNT – A group has demonstrated adherence to and good practices around Leave No Trace and are committed to our community perpetuating the message of LNT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-10 Principles – A group or project fully embraces the \u003ca href=\"http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/about_burningman/principles.html\">10 Principles\u003c/a> in their entirety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This analysis will consider a wide variety of projects rather than favoring just one type — large camps and small ones, self-funded as well as honorarium artists, Mutant Vehicles of all shapes and sizes, and performers of all kinds. The goal is to carefully and conscientiously reconstruct the rich tapestry of our community, based on information we’ve accumulated over years of facilitating our city around these key groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This process is not going to be perfect … it’s not always going to feel fair. And we’re well aware that there will be still be a great many deserving people who will be left out because we don’t have the means to welcome everyone. Again, there are no foolproof solutions for these remaining tickets, only tradeoffs. But we’re confident that through this process, we’ll be able to bolster some of the social, artistic and functional infrastructure of Black Rock City. This is by far one of the most difficult decisions we’ve ever had to make, and we do not make it lightly, but after much consultation and review of your feedback, we feel this approach has the widest base of support and is the best one to assure that we can build Black Rock City in 2012.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Read the \u003ca href=\"http://blog.burningman.com/2012/02/news/ticket-update-rebuilding-black-rock-city-2012/\">full announcement here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, KQED's Joshua Johnson talked to Burning Man Director of Business and Communications Marian Goodell about the painful dilemma the festival found itself in this year.

What we have that is like nothing else I've ever been to -- Bonnaroo, Coachella -- none of them have a core community- based collaborative. They don't have collaborative camps where the principle of community and collaboration is what drives the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making sure we preserve that core is what we're now faced with. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We knew in a sell-out situation there were going to be some failures to the system. So we had a relief valve to take care of a small amount of that. But the degree to which the interest of the event worldwide has pushed this beyond anything we saw coming. There's no way we saw the interest for that number of tickets at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why did demand spike so much this year?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Marian Goodell\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've watched our culture worldwide begin to grow. Burning Man is recognized more broadly than it had been and not just in the alternative culture; it's now touched more mainstream places.

That left some would-be Burners stranded in the non-desert, unable to participate in an experience that many have come to view as essential. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.rgj.com/article/20111124/EVENTS04/111250366/Registration-pre-sale-Burning-Man-tickets-opens-Monday\">registration period for the new lottery system for buying tickets\u003c/a> opens. But \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2011/11/burning_man_lottery_ticketing.php\">not everyone is happy\u003c/a> about the new rules. Last week I asked \u003cstrong>Andie Grace, communications manager for Burning Man\u003c/strong>, which is based in San Francisco (and indeed \u003ca href=\"http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/about_burningman/bm_timeline.html#1986\">started on Baker Beach\u003c/a>), to explain the new policy and to address some of the concerns expressed by those in the Burning Man community. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An edited transcript of our conversation... \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So explain the new ticket policy\u003c/strong>...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the main sale, there will be a random selection process that people enter into for their chance to purchase tickets. There are four different ways that people can access tickets. We're doing a pre-sale before the holidays, which is also via random selection; a main sale in January during which we'll sell 40,000 tickets at 3 different tiers via random selection; and then finally an open sale in March of anything that remains after that random selection round. Then there's also a low-income process that will be announced after the main sale. That's a hand-reviewed application process for folks who need to pay below face value. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It used to be first-come, first-serve. What prompted the change? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We had an annual experience of a whole lot of people trying to get their tickets on the first day, trying to gain access to those lower tiers. Last year was the first year we actually reached capacity and had to cut off ticket sales. That was coupled with the first-day buying experience of so many people trying to get at the tickets that it tended to bum-rush the servers and make for long wait times. This new process will spread out the same number of people having the same access to the same number of tickets over the course of two weeks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Some of the concerns I've read about the new policy: People are worried they won't be able to get tickets for all the members of their party, or the system will exclude those who have helped build the event over many years.\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same number of people will have access to the same number of tickets they need. A camp that has four people in it will have a pretty good chance of getting four tickets if they enter into the random selection in January. We don't believe that demand outstrips supply by all that much; this is just a more organized way to approach the sale of the tickets. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Some people are concerned about ticket scalping that's cropped up. Can you talk about that? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We didn't do this to eliminate scalping. We have some things under the hood to help attend to that. But with this new system, we are at the same risk as before of being flooded by scalpers. One thing we're doing this year is running an after-market ourselves. So if you have a ticket you decide you don't need, you can sell it centrally on the Burning Man web site. This will help to keep the secondary market right under our noses, and you'll be able to see who's buying and selling tickets. Selling over face value is hugely frowned upon in our community. I don't know who is buying these over-value tickets; we don't have a lot of data on it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year we saw instances of ticket scalping here and there on Craigslist or eBay. But our folks don't tend to be willing to pay that much more to go in. We heard a lot of feedback about the ticket sales last year but I didn't hear a lot of people saying I had to pay X much over face value. I think it's a big perceived problem in people's minds, because you don’t want to think someone who is a tourist or someone who is unscrupulous bought a ticket and sold it over face value and you missed your chance because of that. But we don't have data that says it's a super-widespread issue. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nOn the larger issue of how popular Burning Man has become, what plans are there if any to try to accommodate increased demand? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've grown by a small percentage each year for a long time. (Note: You can track the growth in attendance each year in this Burning Man \u003ca href=\"http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/about_burningman/bm_timeline.html\">timeline\u003c/a>.) But last year something tipped and we hit the level that we were required to stay within by the Bureau of Land Management. (Note: BLM issues the \u003ca href=\"http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/wfo/blm_information/newsroom/2011/march/2011_burning_man_permit.html\">Special Recreation Permit\u003c/a> for the festival to take place.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year we need to operate within that same framework in terms of number of people. We have asked them for our next round of permits to go back to a model where we can grow a little. But there's the question of how socially responsible it is to grow too fast. We don't advertise the event, we prefer to grow by word of mouth, and people tend to go home and get really enthusiastic and bring a friend. That's the growth we see. But we're not proactive about trying to make the event bigger. We like the event the way it is, growing organically. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think the spirit of the event has held throughout, considering all the growth you've experienced?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burning Man certainly has changed, but all good things change. It's a week out of the year that we have a chance o try to get this grand experiment of building a city together right, and every year that there are more people there's that much more creativity and new ideas infused. If it was a private party for the same people every year, it would get pretty stale pretty quick. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most fun is when we bring someone new and see them get to experience it for the first time. One of our principles is radical inclusion, so we welcome anyone who wants to participate. We just have to figure out how to do that within a responsible framework for the impact of the event and the space we've chosen to hold it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Anything else you want to say about the new ticket policy?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We sat and talked to a lot of people over 12 weeks or more on how to solve issues we're faced with. We're using this system because we think it will get the most number of people the tickets they want in the time frame they want. I think it's going to work. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After I talked to Andie Grace, I got put in touch with some longtime Burners, who weighed in on the new ticket policy. Here's what they have to say: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>I hope this is a trial run. I hope everyone is paying close attention to how it plays out, what 'crowd' is able to get to Burning Man with these new policies in place, and how it affects the event. This doesn't seem to be a system designed for artist/explorer/hippie-type people who may not necessarily have credit cards or funds available when they're needed. And logistically....if everyone is not 'guaranteed' they can go, then how does a theme camp ensure all its paid/participating members will be able to go at all? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or artists who are creating the temple or other projects that require large numbers of people to help, how can they ensure they will get in? I'm assuming in the spirit of transparency those people are not being offered special access to tickets, are they? Kind of like congress giving themselves their own special health care system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just sayin'.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Michael Babel\u003cbr>\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an entrepreneur, I can appreciate why they are doing this. As a living-below-poverty-level artist (making my living conservatively 90%+ through the burning man community) with no credit, this new system blows and IMO, discriminates against people like me. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Isa \"Glittergirl\" Isaacs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And from Isa \"Glittergirl\" Isaacs' blog post, \u003ca href=\"http://poipriestess.com/2011/11/why-the-new-burning-man-ticketing-process-sucks-for-me/\">Why the New Burning Man Ticketing Process Sucks for Me!\u003c/a>: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"(T)his system really is not great for anyone poor or struggling with money. Here’s why you may never see me able to support this event while my fiscal position is as someone living below poverty level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the new system, you have to submit your credit card information at the time of the ticket lottery registration process. At that time, you have to give them a credit card that will have the funds on it to charge your tickets several weeks later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re like me, and you struggle with money on a regular basis, the challenges are multifold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one thing, this is at the very least, way more of a hassle if you don’t have a credit card. I’d go so far as to say the system discriminates in favor of those with credit cards — yes, ha! – Burning Man is now modeling the banking system — the rich get richer and the poor get screwed. 😉\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ok — maybe that’s harsh… and at the same time, Burning Man has made a strategic decision that really does favor those with credit cards and really does make way more work for anyone without.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burning Man does have a solution for you though. They suggest you buy a pre-loaded debit card with the total amount you need on it so you can set that aside and gurantee you have the funds. Seems like a reasonable idea to some degree, right? Aside from the obvious pain in the ass and extra work you have to do if you don’t have a credit card at least...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[But] because this is a lottery system, if I’m only willing to pay up to $320 which is the new mid tier price (or not go), I’m not actually sure I can use this lottery system to buy me and my partner a ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I mean, best-case scenario is I put enough money on the pre-loaded card for the two lowest priced tickets, I win the $240 lottery and then they charge the card and it works. Yah!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If I’m willing to pay up to $320 each (which I see the value of though I lack the funds to do), I still have to tie up all that money. As someone struggling to make rent, this means I have to tie the money up in the card from the registration date until I’m notified at some point a few weeks later. I’m not even sure I want to pay that much to go to Burning Man and now I have to make that decision and be prepared to shell out the funds in about 8 weeks — when the holidays are coming up, I’m traveling and funds are the tightest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on top of that, I have to know the exact amount of the ticket prices plus all charges/fees (which, to date, I have not yet seen, though Burning Man may get it together and publish that also). They said if your card is declined, the ticket goes to someone else. So don’t screw that up and get the wrong amount on your pre-loaded debit card...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, while I’m bitching up a storm: I think it’s incredibly lame that Burning Man has put out information about this system and all I can find about the soon-to-be-revamped-and-combined-program for low income and scholarship tickets is that it will be revamped. That does not allow me to make an informed decision at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So you’re pretty much screwed if you want to start working beginning of the year on a theme camp and you’re poor because, hey, committing may be useless since Burning Man, the alleged to be radically inclusive event, has now decided to discriminate against the poor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think what's important to remember about Burning Man is that the event itself is a celebration of an ethos. The culture that has grown up around it that has percolated into many of our daily lives is the\u003cbr>\nimportant thing. Having said that, I like to be on the inside of the velvet rope as much as anyone. But being at Burning Man, how one finds oneself there each year is never that straightforward. The\u003cbr>\nlottery just randomizes the process a bit, which may be good. For now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Dean Mermell\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr>\nWhen I read it I found my heart sinking, as it seems there is a real possibility I could go through all the correct motions in a timely way and still not get a ticket - very weird. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How to plan with my friends in a timely way - knowing one of us might not get a ticket?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seems to me that the BM organization, which prides itself for its tech-savvy ways is being very lazy and uncreative. That they cannot solve last year's call-in computer disaster and punishing people who for years have marked their calendars and called in literally from around the world on the opening ticket day (I have called in twice myself from Europe) seems strange. And that my loyal steadfast efforts are NOT being considered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From my reading of the BM organization's point of view, they seem to think it will all work out, and that all their loyal participants will get tickets and if not, who cares they can go on the last-minute hunt for tickets, or well, who needs them, as they have plenty of folks anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I found myself thinking of boycotting the Burn - except for my friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Jessica Britt\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr>\nSeems like since the first tickets that will be sold are the most expensive, then less people will be in the first lottery and therefore, richer people have greater chance of getting tickets. This is not inclusive, this is exclusive. BTW, I can afford the first lottery, I just don't think it's right. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Deb\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

There are four different ways that people can access tickets. We're doing a pre-sale before the holidays, which is also via random selection; a main sale in January during which we'll sell 40,000 tickets at 3 different tiers via random selection; and then finally an open sale in March of anything that remains after that random selection round. Then there's also a low-income process that will be announced after the main sale. That's a hand-reviewed application process for folks who need to pay below face value. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It used to be first-come, first-serve. What prompted the change? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We had an annual experience of a whole lot of people trying to get their tickets on the first day, trying to gain access to those lower tiers. Last year was the first year we actually reached capacity and had to cut off ticket sales. That was coupled with the first-day buying experience of so many people trying to get at the tickets that it tended to bum-rush the servers and make for long wait times. This new process will spread out the same number of people having the same access to the same number of tickets over the course of two weeks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Some of the concerns I've read about the new policy: People are worried they won't be able to get tickets for all the members of their party, or the system will exclude those who have helped build the event over many years.\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same number of people will have access to the same number of tickets they need. A camp that has four people in it will have a pretty good chance of getting four tickets if they enter into the random selection in January. We don't believe that demand outstrips supply by all that much; this is just a more organized way to approach the sale of the tickets. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Some people are concerned about ticket scalping that's cropped up. Can you talk about that? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We didn't do this to eliminate scalping. We have some things under the hood to help attend to that. But with this new system, we are at the same risk as before of being flooded by scalpers. One thing we're doing this year is running an after-market ourselves. So if you have a ticket you decide you don't need, you can sell it centrally on the Burning Man web site. This will help to keep the secondary market right under our noses, and you'll be able to see who's buying and selling tickets. Selling over face value is hugely frowned upon in our community. I don't know who is buying these over-value tickets; we don't have a lot of data on it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year we saw instances of ticket scalping here and there on Craigslist or eBay. But our folks don't tend to be willing to pay that much more to go in. We heard a lot of feedback about the ticket sales last year but I didn't hear a lot of people saying I had to pay X much over face value. I think it's a big perceived problem in people's minds, because you don’t want to think someone who is a tourist or someone who is unscrupulous bought a ticket and sold it over face value and you missed your chance because of that. But we don't have data that says it's a super-widespread issue. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nOn the larger issue of how popular Burning Man has become, what plans are there if any to try to accommodate increased demand? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've grown by a small percentage each year for a long time. (Note: You can track the growth in attendance each year in this Burning Man \u003ca href=\"http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/about_burningman/bm_timeline.html\">timeline\u003c/a>.) But last year something tipped and we hit the level that we were required to stay within by the Bureau of Land Management. (Note: BLM issues the \u003ca href=\"http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/wfo/blm_information/newsroom/2011/march/2011_burning_man_permit.html\">Special Recreation Permit\u003c/a> for the festival to take place.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year we need to operate within that same framework in terms of number of people. We have asked them for our next round of permits to go back to a model where we can grow a little. But there's the question of how socially responsible it is to grow too fast. We don't advertise the event, we prefer to grow by word of mouth, and people tend to go home and get really enthusiastic and bring a friend. That's the growth we see. But we're not proactive about trying to make the event bigger. We like the event the way it is, growing organically. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think the spirit of the event has held throughout, considering all the growth you've experienced?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burning Man certainly has changed, but all good things change. It's a week out of the year that we have a chance o try to get this grand experiment of building a city together right, and every year that there are more people there's that much more creativity and new ideas infused. If it was a private party for the same people every year, it would get pretty stale pretty quick. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most fun is when we bring someone new and see them get to experience it for the first time. One of our principles is radical inclusion, so we welcome anyone who wants to participate. We just have to figure out how to do that within a responsible framework for the impact of the event and the space we've chosen to hold it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Anything else you want to say about the new ticket policy?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We sat and talked to a lot of people over 12 weeks or more on how to solve issues we're faced with. We're using this system because we think it will get the most number of people the tickets they want in the time frame they want. I think it's going to work. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Here's what they have to say: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>I hope this is a trial run. I hope everyone is paying close attention to how it plays out, what 'crowd' is able to get to Burning Man with these new policies in place, and how it affects the event. This doesn't seem to be a system designed for artist/explorer/hippie-type people who may not necessarily have credit cards or funds available when they're needed. And logistically....if everyone is not 'guaranteed' they can go, then how does a theme camp ensure all its paid/participating members will be able to go at all? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or artists who are creating the temple or other projects that require large numbers of people to help, how can they ensure they will get in? I'm assuming in the spirit of transparency those people are not being offered special access to tickets, are they? Kind of like congress giving themselves their own special health care system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just sayin'.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Michael Babel\u003cbr>\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an entrepreneur, I can appreciate why they are doing this. As a living-below-poverty-level artist (making my living conservatively 90%+ through the burning man community) with no credit, this new system blows and IMO, discriminates against people like me. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Isa \"Glittergirl\" Isaacs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And from Isa \"Glittergirl\" Isaacs' blog post, \u003ca href=\"http://poipriestess.com/2011/11/why-the-new-burning-man-ticketing-process-sucks-for-me/\">Why the New Burning Man Ticketing Process Sucks for Me!\u003c/a>: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"(T)his system really is not great for anyone poor or struggling with money. Here’s why you may never see me able to support this event while my fiscal position is as someone living below poverty level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the new system, you have to submit your credit card information at the time of the ticket lottery registration process. At that time, you have to give them a credit card that will have the funds on it to charge your tickets several weeks later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re like me, and you struggle with money on a regular basis, the challenges are multifold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one thing, this is at the very least, way more of a hassle if you don’t have a credit card. I’d go so far as to say the system discriminates in favor of those with credit cards — yes, ha! – Burning Man is now modeling the banking system — the rich get richer and the poor get screwed. 😉\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ok — maybe that’s harsh… and at the same time, Burning Man has made a strategic decision that really does favor those with credit cards and really does make way more work for anyone without.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burning Man does have a solution for you though. They suggest you buy a pre-loaded debit card with the total amount you need on it so you can set that aside and gurantee you have the funds. Seems like a reasonable idea to some degree, right? Aside from the obvious pain in the ass and extra work you have to do if you don’t have a credit card at least...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[But] because this is a lottery system, if I’m only willing to pay up to $320 which is the new mid tier price (or not go), I’m not actually sure I can use this lottery system to buy me and my partner a ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I mean, best-case scenario is I put enough money on the pre-loaded card for the two lowest priced tickets, I win the $240 lottery and then they charge the card and it works. Yah!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If I’m willing to pay up to $320 each (which I see the value of though I lack the funds to do), I still have to tie up all that money. As someone struggling to make rent, this means I have to tie the money up in the card from the registration date until I’m notified at some point a few weeks later. I’m not even sure I want to pay that much to go to Burning Man and now I have to make that decision and be prepared to shell out the funds in about 8 weeks — when the holidays are coming up, I’m traveling and funds are the tightest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on top of that, I have to know the exact amount of the ticket prices plus all charges/fees (which, to date, I have not yet seen, though Burning Man may get it together and publish that also). They said if your card is declined, the ticket goes to someone else. So don’t screw that up and get the wrong amount on your pre-loaded debit card...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, while I’m bitching up a storm: I think it’s incredibly lame that Burning Man has put out information about this system and all I can find about the soon-to-be-revamped-and-combined-program for low income and scholarship tickets is that it will be revamped. That does not allow me to make an informed decision at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So you’re pretty much screwed if you want to start working beginning of the year on a theme camp and you’re poor because, hey, committing may be useless since Burning Man, the alleged to be radically inclusive event, has now decided to discriminate against the poor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think what's important to remember about Burning Man is that the event itself is a celebration of an ethos. The culture that has grown up around it that has percolated into many of our daily lives is the\u003cbr>\nimportant thing. Having said that, I like to be on the inside of the velvet rope as much as anyone. But being at Burning Man, how one finds oneself there each year is never that straightforward. The\u003cbr>\nlottery just randomizes the process a bit, which may be good. For now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Dean Mermell\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr>\nWhen I read it I found my heart sinking, as it seems there is a real possibility I could go through all the correct motions in a timely way and still not get a ticket - very weird. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How to plan with my friends in a timely way - knowing one of us might not get a ticket?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seems to me that the BM organization, which prides itself for its tech-savvy ways is being very lazy and uncreative. That they cannot solve last year's call-in computer disaster and punishing people who for years have marked their calendars and called in literally from around the world on the opening ticket day (I have called in twice myself from Europe) seems strange. And that my loyal steadfast efforts are NOT being considered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From my reading of the BM organization's point of view, they seem to think it will all work out, and that all their loyal participants will get tickets and if not, who cares they can go on the last-minute hunt for tickets, or well, who needs them, as they have plenty of folks anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I found myself thinking of boycotting the Burn - except for my friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Jessica Britt\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr>\nSeems like since the first tickets that will be sold are the most expensive, then less people will be in the first lottery and therefore, richer people have greater chance of getting tickets. This is not inclusive, this is exclusive. BTW, I can afford the first lottery, I just don't think it's right. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Deb\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
