Burning Man Tickets, for the price of 3 Daft Punk tickets, you can NOT see Daft Punk

The first tier tickets for Burning Man went on sale at 10am pst yesterday morning, and as always the site was overwhelmed within 15 minutes. When buying tickets for Burning Man, participants are asked to purchase tickets at the price level they can afford. Each tier is 9,000 tickets, the first tier tickets 210$ and the second tier 240$. Inevitably thousands of people crush the website, I just checked and 1st and 2nd tier tickets are already sold out. That means if you want a ticket you are gonna pay 280$ for third tier, and when that sells out its gonna cost you 320$ to see that playa sunrise. I'm going to try the Low-income ticket option, which requires you to fill out a form and order by mail. It really is the only way I can afford to go, and I can't help but wonder how many people bought the first and second tier tickets and drive hybrids from the City into Mountain View every morning.
