The mud is high quality and free....

[@frankguthrie2825]

The ticket cost is much more than $575. $575 is BEFORE all of the additional fees. When you add them all up, it is closer to $661 per ticket!

[@brianhawk1854]

Everything cost money , if u can't afford thats ok don't goo

[@GuiltyDelights]

Music is too loud
You forgot taxes that are added to the ticket. Ticket+taxes+vehicle pass= 900

I spent a few grand going to Kenya and living in the bush and teaching kids. We helped them build a reliable water supply and I taught the kids there English, science, and math. I fed over a hundred kids lunch for a couple months. I don't think I would have enjoyed watching anything more than those kids faces light up, certainly not more than watching a gigantic bonfire. To each their own I guess.

[@DybbukDEpstein]

I would rather go to Burning Man, but you are right, to each their own.

[@michaelrichter8204]

The wood and building material they burn at just one festival at burning man could have housed your whole Kenyan village. But the flip side;- all those Kenyan kids you taught English are now migrants in your country. So who can really point fingers

[@MattYoung-n5l]

If you want a burning man experience on a budget just go live in a vacant dirt lot and don’t bathe yourself or
Go homeless

[@JoshuaVineyard1]

I don’t think it’s like that all

[@davehackett8848]

Been there, done that

[@SeaSaltCeo]

😂

[@Jaxsonludvigson1991]

Thanks for your video, very nice 😎

[@JoshuaVineyard1]

Thank you!

[@shojaejlali1290]

I went to Glastonbury
92 and 93....total cost 5 english pounds! Those years the attendance was 200,000 a year.

[@mattg4442]

If you are low income with proof, you can apply for a low income ticket, i know ticket prices go up every year, but with a combination of a low income ticket, already having all the gear i need, and using rideshare, ive made the trip multiple times for around $600 in the past

[@JoshuaVineyard1]

Very impressive!

[@pradbitt7645]

Or Enjoy 6 Days Fusion Festival for a Ticket Price of 210€ plus Bus Ticket 25€ .

[@JoshuaVineyard1]

Interesting, where is the Fusion Festival?

[@robertdavis5714]

And all this time I thought it was Free

[@gordonclay832]

Your budget is $200 more than the minimum since you assumed everyone would take the bus versus bring their own vehicle. $345 versus $150.

[@BonnieRoseParent]

also dont go to burning man if you think the 'playa will provide' - its not a spectator event... participate. you only get out of it what you give.

[@SuperCody1124]

Very well said and true.

[@jimjimgar1783]

Where that money goes from 100000 of people go there. That’s a great business.

[@JoshuaVineyard1]

I heard it makes more money than any other event in the country, maybe the world.

[@scriblygum]

Government agencies charge many millions for permits and policing.

[@cathmires8990]

That sounds outrageously expensive to me. I don't know if it always was that expensive but to live outside in a dust field playa Scrambling for food drink, and Transportation doesn't sound fun to me anymore anymore

[@burningmanmike]

cost? a little piece of your soul.

[@JoshuaVineyard1]

How do you figure?

[@Wayzor_]

Festivals in the Eastern US are much better.

[@bonnievanessa]

This doesn’t include a bike, flight , supplies, tent, camping gear etc.

[@JoshuaVineyard1]

True, some people come from the Bay Area, others from Europe, 2 very different journeys. My second burn now & I haven’t used a bike. Tent & camping gear is a 1 time expense, because you can use it again the next year. Supplies will depend on joining a theme camp or not.

[@wasabiginger6993]

As long as there is never any human or animal sacrifices going on, it's NOT a Blackrock satanic for the rich ritual.

[@TimJSwan]

Sorry, bro, it is always Camp Forest Springs, for me.

[@thebighat99]

You proved it to me it is for the rich. lol

[@JohnMark61355]

The attendees probably are very concerned about climate change the other 51 weeks of the year.

[@mraidymaddful]

You could do all of those other activities but you won't get the same memories as you would at Burning Man.

[@captainspock6221]

all you have to do is watch the videos from year to year. this year was the oldest crowd i have ever seen at burning man. the art is great. but it is turning into well off middle aged people regardless of what people say. the evidence is visible and obvious.

[@JoshuaVineyard1]

They are getting older because they are veteran burners. Each year a little older.

[@martinfurlong1071]

No info on emergency medical cost!!!

[@JoshuaVineyard1]

Good point, I should probably mention how devastating that could be out there.

[@Arthu8]

I avoid every Pagan ritual.

[@JoshuaVineyard1]

Good

[@Barsabus]

Thank you!
