FREE BURNING MAN TICKETS!!!
In this ironic spoof video about the 2012 Burning Man ticket server crash and public response to “limited tickets crisis” Brent Van Dyke and Stefan Piles moved into action to bring Bernie Mann to the screen to add some much needed comedy to the situation.
Well received by the public, but soon receiving a cease and diciest order from the Burning Man lawyers, we knew we did something right! After explaining to the law team for BRC that we were not actually breaking any rules or selling any tickets, they were left to accept that our parody was simply a little salt in their open wound.
Weeks after its launch we received a phone call from Larry Harvey, founder of Burning Man. He explained that he absolutely loved the video and that it was completely in the spirit of Burning Man to poke fun at the situation. We thought so too! He kindly donated 2 tickets for us to actually give away to the public and in honorarium we ran the contest and sent the winners off on their dusty adventure!
