When Black Rock is open (during Burning Man) if you land there you will have to pay the landing fee, reportedly $250+.







I thought everything was barter at Burning Man.



Once you get in, maybe. To get in, no barter, only cash. A few years ago I flew over it, thought about landing there to walk around (would have been an easy relaunch with the motor glider). The price put me off the idea.

One is able to land for free at BRCMA but you cannot enter the gate without a ticket. Tickets are no longer available at the gate as in years past. Burning Man is a gifting economy, not barter. Trading and monetary deals are frowned upon once inside the gate. It is not some 'hippie' event.
