Infamous fiasco Fyre Festival relaunches — and is already sold out
Infamous fiasco Fyre Festival relaunches — and is already sold out
Here's what we know about Fyre Festival II so far: Line-up? Unknown. Date? Unclear. Location? Somewhere in the Caribbean. Price? $500 to $8,000.
The first drop of 100 pre-sale tickets for Fyre Festival II went on sale Monday for $499 a pop and sold out within a day, according to the festival's website.
So 100 people have more money than sense.
If I had to guess, plenty of them are "influencers" the more of a disaster this is the better for their views on how horrible it was. It's a no lose situation for them.
Are we even sure those are real sales? They only made 100 tickets available. It’s far more reasonable to assume that they “released 100 tickets” and then had a grifter friend purchase them all immediately. You’d be able to say that you sold out. Then you ride the wave of free publicity that you get from news article like this. Seems like grifting 101.
If I knew then what I know now about the first fire fest, I would have considered trying to get tickets.
I have fairly low standards for a vacation, usually I like to go camping so spartan accomodations, meh food, etc. are pretty much par for the course. I usually do a good bit better for myself than the fyre fest provided, but I could make do just fine with what was available.
But man, I would have loved to watch all the entitled rich assholes melting down in-prson in real-time.

To be fair I did see a guy write online that he bought a ticket to the festival when the prices went way down claiming to be at most middle class.
So now the planners have 50k to pay themselves to start planning. Next week.
one of the world’s infinitely renewable resources is stupid people
Even if it's shitty, at least it gives these losers something to talk about compared to the rest of their vapid wastes of lives.
Somebody should give a ticket to the guy who won his ticket in a raffle
last time they had it.
And the guy who secured the water.
I hope it goes exactly like last time. I laughed for months over that.
I bet the ham cheese sandwiches are gonna be really good this time
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...
I highly recommend the Netflix documentary about the first one. Very entertaining with a dosage of head shaking and sadness.
Felt so bad for the man that was fully prepared to go blow someone for water.
Gonna be so much YouTube drama from this one down the track, love watching a shit show unfold 🍿
The guy is a pathological scam artist and liar.
The documentary showed when he was out on bail, he got caught doing similar ticket scams again!
It’s almost funny at this point because this seems to be all he knows how to do. I’m sure we’ll hear about this again and he’ll be going back to jail at some point.
"There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again.'"
Somehow we elected that fool twice and then elected someone so bad it made him look good
The first time, the Conservatives on the Supreme Court stopped the vote counting when it looked like Bush would lose Florida. The legal justification used was "because we want Bush to win".
The second time was a combination of Swift Boating and the man who oversaw the Ohio part of the election, literally worked for the Bush Campaign. Which turned out like this.
I really don't think that the human race has evolved as much as we thing it has. We're still throwing poop at each other.
I've heard that he didn't complete the sentence because he didn't want a record of him saying "shame on me".
And yet what he DID say got memed WAY harder than "shame on me" ever would have.
