it’s useful because brc has a lot of similar characteristics to a refugee camp.

You have to be kidding me lmao

also while there are clearly some camps with just boatloads of cash, most of the people are not rich tech bros. I haven’t actually found any billionaires, tho I heard they have some camps out near 9:00 and G. I imagine they mostly stay over there.

This is a very good question. My gut says it wouldn’t be allowed, but I must defer to those intrepid posters on site.

Welcome to Davos

‘They need to feel it to get it’: World Economic Forum attendees can spend ‘a day in the life of a refugee’

For the past 10 years, attendees of the World Economic Forum have had the option to take part in a simulation that attempts to recreate the refugee experience in 75 minutes.

The Crossroads Foundation has hosted A Day in the Life of a Refugee at the World Economic Forum in Davos since 2009, and 2019 is no exception. The program involves a cast and crew of volunteers comprised entirely of former refugees to recreate for the participants the experience of displaced people.

Radical acceptance means that you need to accept the idea that you should disrupt those billionaires in attendance.

Everything you would find in Black Rock City is gifted, free of charge, by one or more attendees.

Marian Goodell, a founding board member and CEO of Burning Man Project, tells The Guardian that the “radical self-reliance” of everyone at Burning Man looking out for each other is the spirit that drives the event.2

How Do Our Prices Compare?
While Black Rock City is indeed an experience unlike any other, we’ve compared our ticket prices to a few other events for the sake of perspective.

Event Prices:

Bonnaroo (4 days): Between $190 and $925 + $60 car camping pass + fees
Coachella (3 days): Between $429 and $999 + $102 camping pass + fees
SXSW (10 days): Between $540 and $1,600 + fees
Electric Daisy Carnival (3 days): Between $319 to $779 + $1,099 camping pass (for up to 4 people) + fees
Glastonbury (5 days): ~$345 + $58 car parking + fees
Envision (7 days): Between $419 and $799 + $350 ready-set-camp + fees
Burning Man (8 days): $575 + $140 vehicle pass + fees
It should also be noted that we offer ~5,000 low-income tickets (at $225 each) for those able to show proof of financial hardship, in order to provide access to the event to those without the financial resources to purchase a ticket at full price. For those who can afford to contribute financially, we sell a small pool of tickets for as much as $1,400 to help offset the cost of the low income program. We also gift thousands of tickets to volunteers who build the city and make the event possible.
