The Burning Man Project sent out their latest urgent fundraising email detailing a budget shortfall as high as $14 million, and longtime attendees are fuming that the organization keeps burning through so much money.

It’s the first time in 14 years that Burning Man hasn’t sold out before the event, and tickets are still available with T-minus ten days until the gates open, after last year’s mucked-up nightmare where people couldn't leave.

It’s blazingly easy to find extra Burning Man tickets this year, as countless tickets are being offered up for sale, a “radical” change from years past when Burning Man was the hottest ticket of the summer.

Burning Man tickets went on sale at noon Wednesday, and despite (or because of?) some technical glitches, Burners with pent-up demand snatched up all the tickets in a mere 29 minutes.

Burning Man says it’s happening again in 2022, but with Main Sale tickets $100 more expensive than last time around, and a “COVID-19 health check process” purportedly in place.

Still not knowing whether they can even have an event this summer, the Burning Man Project announces a $2,500 “opportunity” to buy tickets (tickets not included) — and most of these reservations have already sold out.
