Burning Man's first-ever
ticket lottery has had far more requests for tickets than the 40,000 that have been made available. What does this mean?
- The Internet will be very, very, angry
- No one will ever get to go to Burning Man again
- This empirical evidence that some people may not win a lottery is likely to shake the scientific world
- Princess Glitter Sparkle is bummed
- 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
- Lotteries have, once again, failed to make the world a better place
- By July there will be a tidal wave of surplus tickets as people decide not to go ... just like every year
- Burners are no better at handling scarcity than anybody else
