This year Black Rock City organizers revealed a new promotion for attendees interested in saving the planet. MediaNews Group via Getty Images<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BXB program makes it easier and more affordable to get to Black Rock City, while helping reduce the environmental impact of travel \u2014 easing traffic and decreasing the number of vehicles on the roads.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paying $550 to attend the annual wild party in the desert plus a person\u2019s travel to get there is quite a deal considering the tickets can cost close to $1,000.<\/p>\n

Last year organizers instituted a sliding-scale pay system, which is intended to have wealthier burners pay more to subsidize the lower ticket prices between $550-$650. The same system will be in place this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ticketing system allows for a few options. If a burner wants to \u201cGive the Gift\u201d they can purchase a ticket anywhere from $975 up to $3,000. There\u2019s also the \u201cPay your Way\u201d allowing an attendee to get into the event for $775.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you purchase a higher-priced ticket, YOU are: helping more people experience the magic of Burning Man, funding Honoraria art grants, and underwriting Black Rock City operational costs,\u201d organizers said on the website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Low-income burners can also take advantage of an aid program by filling out an application and earning a chance to score entry to the event for $250.<\/p>\n

Every year thousands show up for the week-long gathering in the Black Rock Desert<\/a> for music, DJ sets, raucous parties, drinking, orgies<\/a>, parades, art installations, and more.<\/p>\n

The theme this year is Axis Mundi, which celebrates \u201cinterconnectedness, shared social realities, and our ties to the natural world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event then culminates with the annual burning of the giant sculpture of a man before the whole makeshift city disappears for another year. MediaNews Group via Getty Images<\/p>\n

The BXB ticket bundle goes on sale August 19 at 6 p.m. and \u201cwill end when the small supply to fill two additional buses sells out,\u201d the spokesperson told the outlet.<\/p>\n
