The Bureau of Land Management won't increase the cap until the Burning Man org can demonstrate that they have the appropriate facilities to handle the increased number of people. They have a deal currently under which the numbers increase from 50k to 70k over the period from 2011 to 2016 or so I believe. I suspect they're going to try to get it boosted faster after this year's sellout.
