No Money Changes Hands
One of the most baffling rules of Burning Man is to let no money exchange hands during the festival. That’s right, there’s no merch tables or pop-up boutiques in the desert. The only things for sale at Burning Man are coffee and ice, which means that everything else offered on the playa is willingly shared for no cost. But that doesn’t mean that you won’t be expected to share what you have with your fellow burners, too.
