You sure about that?

Burning man is my first thought... surely that's quite a bit bigger?

Hard to guage how many different people buying tickets that is, but Burning Man is capped at 50,000, don't know how many unique installations there are, but I don't think it's as many.
 
Gotcha... just terminology confusionings... I woulda thought burning man would take up a greater area of land to itself still...

Considering area rather than throughput... ;)
