Burning Man 2016 tickets sold out in 30 minutes

Burning Man 2016 is now less than six months away and as of yesterday, main sale tickets are sold out. After a 30 minute frenzy, all 30,000 tickets were purchased by thousands of eager Burners.

With a base fee of $390 plus an $80 vehicle charge, Burning Man isn't an event for the penny-pincher. Less than half of pre-registered hopefuls made their way to the front of the virtual line to grab ahold of the precious ticket.

While many may have missed the mark on the general ticket sale, there are still more ticket options to be found here. For the last-minute buyers, some digging through Craigslist classifieds between now and August should do the trick.

Burning Man returns home to Black Rock Desert, Nevada from August 28 through September 5.
