Burning Flipside here in Texas has had a lottery system for the last few years due to not being able to exceed 2500 people on site or be under the TX mass gathering law. They make the lottery a little inconvenient (sign up in early January, mail in a money order during one week later in the month, have the MO returned if you don't get tickets). They also have a no scalping policy and regularly go after sales on Craigslist and other sources for more than face value.
- scoot 14y agonot being able to exceed 2500 people on site or be under the TX mass gathering law Sorry, what? have all major sporting events been cancelled too?
- damncabbage 14y agoNo, it doesn't permit gatherings of more than 2500 people to last longer than five hours without a lot of overhead (money and paperwork): http://law.justia.com/codes/texas/2005/hs/009.00.000751.00.html http://law.justia.com/codes/texas/2005/hs/009.00.000751.00.h...
- unwiredben 14y agono, it's just that when you exceed 2500 people, a bunch of special provisions come into play, like having to provide water, security, vending, etc. that clash with the self-reliance/gift-economy aspect of a burn.
