Burning Man switches to controversial ticketing system
Briefly

This year, Burning Man has shifted to a pay-what-you-will ticketing system due to a $20 million budget shortfall from lower attendance. Tickets are priced at $550 to $3,000, allowing wealthier attendees to subsidize others. The first ticket sale begins February 12, with an option for Ticket Aid providing lower-cost tickets for those in financial need. This structure is aimed at making the festival more accessible, and participants are encouraged to contribute based on their financial capability.
"2025 tickets give participants options on how they wish to engage, making this year's Black Rock City a communal experience that is more accessible to all who wish to participate."
"Once the $550 and $650 tickets sell out - which will probably be fast - buyers remaining in the queue will be offered tickets only in the more expensive tiers."
