You practically need tech bro money to afford a ticket though don't you? The article says tickets are up to $2750, and while I know they go for less if you get lucky in the lottery or something like that they're still like 800-1000$ just to get in. Who can afford that just as the entry fee, let alone what ever you need to survive the desert for a week?

Burners I know pretty much live to go to burns. Every week they get together to build stuff for the burn. 3k isn't much really if that's what your yearly vacation is and you're a paper pusher.
