Having spent over two months of my life there over 9 burns, it should be freeโฆ
dont come back!!!! ty
Or could it be that everyone there is a total douche and thatโs not appealing. I love festivals and for a long time I really wanted to go to burning man. Now days and friends that go come back and tell me itโs full of douche bags and they wouldnโt go back. Word of mouth!! The doesnโt put me off at all. Hearing the people are horrible puts me off.
โTrappedโ ๐๐๐ who was trapped? People were leaving every day.
Burning Man is a Puff Daddy type of decadent "Freak Show", for the "counter-culture" that is actually the mainstream reality of imperialism at the highest stage of capitalism. It is disorganized satanic religion, with a burning idol worship at the center of an orgy of self-centered enslavement to one's passions.
The spectrum of these comments is incredible. Always interesting to see how "passionate"/how much people have to say & care about something they "dislike" or disagree with so much. It's just like anything else ~ Do you drink/smoke? Are you religious? Do you believe in an person's individuality and respective path in life? If not, why spend the energy projecting your own (minimalistic) scope of the reality of things? This whole thing (The Burn) is a portrayal/model of the real world in a sense – it is whatever you make it. Everybody has their own reasons for going, many with hopes/intent it will be XYZ which is where missteps immediately come into play. If you go into it with hopes or expectations, especially based on the media, or other 'shallow-minded' individual's perceptions based on their own brief (maybe even altered/poisoned/skewed) take on their own experiences – you WILL be disappointed – because you didn't go through the experience via your own genuine scope of life, but rather through the lense of others. Stop wasting energy on hate, accept that this experience in life is not for you, and silently move on. Quit projecting. Spread the positivity. โคโ๐ฅโคโ๐ฅ
God loves hunger games
Egh, a little bit of storm seeding and that's it. Say goodbye to all the wine drinking hippies and wanna be rave kids.
Are you sure the planet is warming?? It was a great burn. Weather was perfect this year.
Just like so many other comments are saying, BM has lost its counter culture roots and is now full on capitalism and consumerism.
Weather isnโt climate. And it was packed. Propaganda
No, it was absolutely fantastic this year – yet again (my 22nd). 2023 was pretty fun too. Rumors of its demise are … well just clickbait and bitterness. See you there next year!
Burning man isnโt sold out bc they already โsold outโ
Rain is good.
It's just a bunch of weirdos getting together to celebrate themselves you couldn't pay me to go just freaks messing up the desert
This doesn't make any difference
NEVA !!!!!
What an absolute waste of time!
I heard the weather was beautiful this year
f burning man. overpriced consumerist bs.
Well now that it's over, I guess it proved you wrong, because it did sell out. Also, just because it rained last year, somehow you think it's over? Look at how many other festivals and concerts get dumped on with rain. Boy somebody looks stupid now!
I make 6 figures a year and i really can't see myself paying 1500 just to get in. Not to mention the supplies i would have to purchase. And then you have to actually get there if you don't live nearby. I would put this at at least a 4k trip. So… As much as id love to go to Burning Man i really don't see that happening any time soon. Realistically I'm probably going to use 4k to travel internationally. It's crazy to me that they've raised the price this much. And that this many people can afford it. I guess if you really want something you just make it happen.
Gods wrath, not global warming
Burning man is like a scam. Pay big fees to play in the sand pit. Drugs not included
We made Burningman like another planet 25 years ago. It was a splendid weirder than weirdly wonderful experience. And like all rad thingsโฆpeople slowly catch on and storm the splendorโฆand the patina wanesโฆtho many of us old burners still work on sustaining it~~~
Looks like a Dionysian rave now to me.
Excuses, excuses, excuses.
What part of "burn your ego" is misunderstood? They are celebrating Dionysus. Insanity included. ๐ข
Just like an HOA, apparently people like micro-managing fascism, and with the egos still intact, everything, even with humble beginnings , will turn out the same in the end.
How do they charge admission for an event held on public land?
In a word, no.
Global warminh yea right
In the end the tickets did sell out and it was an amazing time. Really blessed to have been able to go!
Many don't know of BM principles or the nonprofit that runs it. Itโs about creativity & inclusiveness but it does come with a price. After all, creeps & haters must be screened
no its not the end. the pandemic effected MANY PEOPle financially. screw this negative report
And yet 70 thousand people showed up in 2024 and had a great time. Wonder why that is? Questions Questions!
Promoters never cease to make money off of stupid people making fools of themselves. Now that's entertainment. That area is no joke. Not long ago, me, mine and a dog had to be rescued by local police after our stupidity. Stranded for two nights three days, with cooler water and other barely there resources.
The allure of this festival has been dwindling due to the high percentage of presumptuous and pompous attendees.
Reduce the price.
Demonic
Nothing says counter culture like $600 tickets and a literal CEO
Nope. Happy Burn Night!
Oh no! Instead of 80,000 showing up only 75,000 are showing up? It's over, rip burning man. ๐ Click bait news! ๐
One-dimensional, self-serving people are trying to make it a music festival and have been killing off the sentiment of it for the past 10 years. So this is a good thing. Make Burning Man suck again!
I live in Reno so I prefer to just go camping out on the playa myself with all my equipment, party supplies, and friends and just dance and hang out and get crazy for a couple nights. Way better and you get the playa experience, especially at night under a fool moon I might add. Absolutely amazing time. Screw burning man itโs bunch of wannabe, corporate, sellout losers.
If you want to support the USA GOVERNMENT AND THE MAN! ..go give your taxes to the gov there! …over 35,000,000$ was made in revenue last year …you people r the problem
