Tens of thousands of people attending the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert are being told to conserve food, water and fuel as they shelter in place in the Black Rock Desert after a heavy rainstorm pummeled the area, festival organizers said.

now let’s see how a libertarian city will work when there’s no ins and outs
Isn’t it attended by a lot techbros and upper middle class people? I’m sure if they are really in serious peril, they’ll get air drops. These headlines are just gonna make them seem like a bunch of brave adventurers and they’ll be all over the press when they get out.
Tickets alone can go up to $2,750 “plus taxes and fees” and essentially the only way to get there and survive is to bring some kind of RV / camping vehicle set up plus a week of full provisions per person. It’s exclusively attended by two groups: people of means and super dedicated wookies who make it their goal of the year (and probably sell drugs on site and shit tbh, not that there’s anything wrong with that) to get there.

What the fuck!? That plus the RV need mean that “festival” is basically drawing money from well off people and from people who are too abused to notice they ought to create their own festivals (as plenty of people in Europe and Africa do).
Every event ever has an absurdly high top end on VIP tickets lol
Over here we mostly do lotteries at the good festivals which always have the same price for everyone (except for people who help who have to pay less or get free entry). Its around 300$ maximum and sometimes as cheap as 20$ per day (depending on festival).
This skimming the cream thing is a very USA thing to do. I would argue to have 7% of the people (out of 70k) with reduced tickets is another USA thing in which a bit of charity instead of solidarity is used to hide that economic power buys you better positions, nicer entry and such.
However I would accept your argument if 60k do pay much less than 2750$ plus RV cost.

Operating phrase here is “up to”.
Nornal tickets for the week are like 550+150 for camping. 5000 people are also given discounted tickets for lime 250 bucks.
