The Burning Man org decided to sell tickets by lottery this year. People complained because people don't like things to change. But if there's any organization that should keep changing things and throw a little creative chaos into the mix, it's the Burning Man org. Besides, there's no point complaining unless you still don't have a ticket by late July ... and that can only happen if you don't try very hard.
Yeah, yeah, I got mine, how can you tell?

How do you sell tickets by lottery?
They had a two-week period in which you gave your credit card info. Today they are drawing forty thousand names and notifying the lucky ones of their purchase. Not really a "lottery", more like a "random selection".
So ppl who have no intention of going are throwing their names in and then will scalp?
Lots of them.
Was this supposed to solve a problem they had with tickets?
Y-y-y-yup. People didn't like the hoarders and scalpers.
It will be interesting to see how the org responds to these predictable market reactions.
