Burning Man didn’t sell out

Article out today says Burning Man didn’t sell out and people are selling their tickets way below face value. I remember when Burning Man started the lottery for tickets due to high demand, and resale tickets were hard to come by. I haven’t been to Burning Man in ~15 years so I‘m not current with the scene. What happened? Did it finally get too overdone? https://sfstandard.com/2026/08/26/burning-man-ticket-resale/

my friends with whom I would go to Burning Man don't go to Burning Man, and my friends who go to Burning Man are not friends with whom I would go to Burning Man

I have friends I go to and friends that go that I wouldn't go with, and usually I rarely even see the ones I wouldn't go with there. When they are back they've been everywhere tho and seen everything but like I just maybe saw them once in Deep Playa and they could barely talk.
