Yes you do: proof, you go do fun stuff like Burning Man. This is not a life necessity, so it must be out of disposable income.

That's how a market works. If the buyer rationally believes that he can get a ticket for $300, which is likely true, he has no reason to give you 350, let alone 500 or 600.
Yes, it is opportunistic. Someone with perhaps a smaller disposable income is looking for an opportunity to experience or rexpereince Burning Man for less.
Just take the $300 and run!
Before throwing around words like "gouge", think about this: if Burning Man was operated by an airline, then tickets would be non-transferable. You could "cancel", for which you would get back something like $12 on your credit card.
