Burning Man Bummer: Ticket Lottery Wonât Fill Demand
Burning Man's first-ever ticket lottery has had far more requests for tickets than the 40,000 made available. What does this mean?
• Princess GlitterSparkle is bummed
• No one will ever get to go to Burning Man again, ever
• San Franciscans finally have something other than Ross Mirkarimi to talk about
• This empirical evidence that not every entrant wins a lottery shakes the scientific world
• So many people want to go to Burning Man that it has clearly failed as a social movement
• For the next eight months, everybody who knows anybody who works for Burning Man will be bombarded with requests to hook them up
• One of four bacon-themed camps may not make it out this year
• By July there will be a tidal wave of surplus tickets as people decide not to go ... just like every year
