TF, this guy is still getting millions of views on TikTok and Twitter.
Can we just burn engagement-driven social media? Please?
Let me guess…everyone already bought their tickets?
Honestly I hope so. Imagine those tickets going up, you thinking “oh fyre festival, what’s that? That sounds fun” then looking it up, then buying tickets.
Anyone that wants to go be around that deserves to get got. Zero sympathy.
At this point, I expect most tickets holder are influencers trying to cash in on a reaction video.
Even better.
I honestly had to look up what Fyre festvial is. Never heard of it, but
Fyre Festival was a fraudulent luxury music festival organized by American businessman Billy McFarland and American rapper Ja Rule. It was originally created to promote the company’s Fyre app for booking music talent.
Sounds like a real loss, that.
Have you not seen the documentary??
It’s worth a punt.
It’s like a big shan on to all the dickheads that section of that industry attracts
Ah I guess that’s another one for my to-watch-list!
Both documentaries were good. Love it
In short, it was one of the most spectacular disasters in the history of music festivals. The advertising showed that even the cheapest tickets would get some fancy rooms. Sold out quickly, but all the money was nowhere near enough to even pay for the stage + performers. The island didn’t have housing and they “improvised” some tents for the attendees (they used relief tents like those you see in displaced populations). No food, no water, no bathrooms.
So now there’s supposedly a second festival, of the same name, and am I getting this right, organized by the same dude who was already convicted? And Mexico is saying they have no knowledge of any such event?
I guess they bet on people being idiots - falling for it a second time - and it seems they were right.
The sequel is set to take place on Isla Mujeres in Quintana Roo, Mexico, with tickets going for $1,400 and up to $1.1m. When speaking about the highest-priced package, McFarland has said: “You will be on a boat, have the luxury yachts that we partner with who will be docked and parked outside the island.”
A minimum of $500,000 will go towards the money still owed by McFarland, estimated to be close to $26m.
Amazing to me that anybody would spend real money on anything this fraudster promotes.
I bet nearly all the million dollar tickets will be given to infuencers to promote the event. They don’t actually have any value.
i wonder if the guy that was going to give a BJ to an investor is part of this one too.
Damn…
Was hoping to watch the Internet Historian video on this one too…
Wasn’t Fyre Festival 2 just the MrBeast Experience?
Who could have possibly predicted this. I’m shocked.
Looks like this time they didn’t have that guy willing to suck dick for water LOL
I love that documentary.
After
“Hey, didn’t you want this water?”
Oh, right…yeah, water.
I can’t see a way for this to be anything but a Producers situation. Calling it literally anything but Fyre Festival 2 would increase the odds of success, if the event succeeding was ever the plan.
BAHAHAHAHA
oh come on. you’re all just haters. why can’t i spend 300,000 dollars of my own hard-inherited money to go and enjoy a few unforgettable days in a tropical paradise? you might laugh, but i’ll be just as uncomfortable and powerless as you are for a little while. don’t you think that’s worth a few minutes of my dad’s earnings?
Oh no. I was so hyped for this new season…
The 1st season was so good. Bologna sandwiches at a luxury event, FEMA tents blowing over, inadequate sanitation and dudes sucking dick for bottled water. There is no way fyre 2 can top that.
new internet historian video soon I bet
Can’t wait to see who he plagiarizes this time!
Yeah, fuck that guy if you really pay attention, he is practically alt right adjacent. If you know the correct dog whistles to look for …also the plagiarism was fucking atrocious and I can’t enjoy anything he does because he’s a fucking liar and he didn’t even take ownership of what he did. If you want to know more and have spare time, I would suggest you watch this Video it has chapters so you can find him easily
There’s no internet historian in the chapters, which one is it?
I’m sorry I thought there was, it’s the chapter marked cave story, which is tragic because that was a good one or until I thoughtit was, before I realized it was ripped from a blog post Word for Word
Did you watch the video or the segment at least?
