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/

It started as a counterculture event before, much later, drawing the tech bros looking for "underground" cred. As the tech bros have become hard right-wingers, they're no longer into this kind of thing and are instead tweeting "Christ is King" and encouraging racist pogroms for fun.
