Mr.C speaks out on Burning Man

Mr C is never one to shy away from getting his opinions across. On the recent new ticket lottery controversy surrounding Burning Man, he has spoken out on his facebook:

"... Burning Man ticket lottery = HUGE FAIL. I hope they realize they fucked up wholesale in seeing that stub hub got a shit load & are already selling them to the rich for $1500 a piece. C*****. Just sayin'. People that DJ, organized camps & really bring it have not got tickets... Why didn't they just let people buy a limit of 2 tickets on a first come first served basis. I hope they're really getting shit for this!...DJ's play for free, for love, for sharing & it's many of those same DJ's, camp builders, art makers, people that make it happen through blood sweat & tears & still pay for their tickets that didn't get tickets via this shit lottery system. They should let people by 2 tickets on a first come first served basis, maybe event make them send in their names & ID for ever ticket sold & check those Id's on the gate. PERIOD."



Mr.C added to his point by posting the below image which would send shivers through most peoples spines if it's anything but a joke. How do Jersey Shore get tickets and DJ's and camp organisers miss out?! 



Not the only one to speak up, Dirtybird's Worthy also had something to say on his page: 

"Burning Man has shot itself in the foot!!!", and, "Burning Man should change this years theme to... FAILURE"



These comments were posted by Worthy alongside a link to the reddit forum thread where LLC member Marion Goodall recognizes that it's a big problem for established theme camps and art collectives by having tickets for only about a third of their members, a figure that she also confirmed. "It's clear that the theme camps and art projects are a significant part of the community, and this situation is causing problems for them," she said. "That's the part that will hurt us if we don't take another look at this."


 
A response to the thread echoing the fears of many with and without tickets that want Burning Man to continue:

"Holy crap this is fucked - Looks like major theme camps and some of our big art installations are considering backing out. We need to figure out how to get those people tickets, or the event is in big trouble"

After all what is Burning Man with out music, art or theme camps?!
