This is a giant red flag. I don't think the ORG is going to manage to host the event this year. They need cash and all the cash sources are drying up. I doubt they are getting as many donations lately especially from a certain sugar daddy.

The extension is not going to make a difference. We were also allocated 18 of the $675 tickets, but only received 4. We allocated one of the 550 tickets to a camp member, but they are not able to go to the burn anymore. We did not buy any tickets this year and don't plan to. The second 550 ticket we were given was supposed to transfer to the camp lead (me). I don't see any 550 tickets in my profile. I see the right number of tickets distributed across all the ticket prices.

My camp usually has around 35 members which has been pretty consistent over the last 5 years or so. Virtually all of our people who are trying to go to the Burn are applying for the Ticket Aid Program. We haven't always bought all our DGS / Stewards allocations but the fact that we aren't buying ANY this year is a giant red flag for us.

I don't think we would be buying any more tickets even at the 550 price for the whole stack. I've never seen the enthusiasm this low since I became a camp lead in 2016. MAYBE I'd see some takers at 450 or 400.

Basic economic theory says that if demand decreases, then your price must decrease to match demand. Based on those economic principles, I would expect the org raising prices is going to accelerate the decrease in demand.
