want to hate this shit even more? tickets to this thing are $425 and the average cost of attendance is around $2400 per head when considering things like travel and camping supplies. Not to mention a lot of people go there in an RV. The closest airport is a two-hour drive away, but a lot of attendees drive in from San Fransisco, which is a 6 hour drive.
Billionaires also regularly attend, usually in incredibly fancy RVs with stuff like jacuzzis or will simply fly a private jet there. In 2017 a bunch of Google employees shipped a box of lobsters to event. An art instillation at the 2007 burning man involved exploding 900 gallons of jet fuel into a huge mushroom cloud, which somehow was meant to protest over-reliance on oil. Every burning man event leaves hundreds of thousands of plastic water bottles littering the area.
The 2022 Burning Man had a sculpture that read "We are the Climate Problem" that has to be some kind of sick ironic joke. 87% of burning man attendees are white.
