>>914750Wew lad, I was just looking into it and apparently to even enter the $30 parking lot area to camp, you have to buy a $180 ticket for the festival. Only people who have paid $180+camping fees ($30-300) will be inside or around.
They also have $150 walking vendor tickets that will allow you to carry your shit around and sell it inside, but you'll probably need it to even sell your shit in the 'lot' I'm guessing. And who's going to throw down big dosh on expensive jewelry or art when they have to pay out the ass for food, for water, to even see what was inside. Rich glamping 'hippies' from Sedona who don't even want to interact with the 'lower class' travelers, despite us being the literal personification of an idea which the scene is based off of in the first place. Burning man all over again.
It's sad because just a few years ago Alex and Allison Grey were talking about how G&J was one of the best shows for mixing the professional art environment with the traveling scene. No fun allowed, I guess. The parking lot should be an open air environment, unregulated and untaxed, a separate entity from the show itself. The spirit of it all has been quickly ruined, now its about the allmighty dollar.
The real 'lot' will wind up coalescing on the parking completely outside the gates, if there is any parking out there.
