- Burning Man may be “decommodified” but it’s still pretty expensive to attend.
- The 9-day festival cost most Burners at least $800 this year, just for a ticket and a vehicle pass.
- Transportation, food, and other survival-related supplies can easily push the cost into the thousands.
Burning Man only sells ice on site, but don’t let that fool you: Burners still shell out a small fortune to be there.
The typically nine-day event in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, roughly 120 miles north of Reno, draws tens of thousands of attendees each year, and sets them all back at least $630 for a ticket including its taxes and fee — with total costs easily ballooning into the thousands.
