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 wonder if the guy that was going to give a BJ to an investor is part of this one too.
TF, this guy is still getting millions of views on TikTok and Twitter.
Can we just burn engagement-driven social media? Please?
It just doesn’t make logical sense. The most “successful” social media accounts are always the shittiest. You’d think it would completely devalue what a “view” is worth, but I guess eyeballs are eyeballs. Then the whole click farm situation where you just buy engagement. A secondary market that just reminds you of the Ouroboro.
I think I’m missing something because somehow half of tech is funded by it.
Looks like this time they didn’t have that guy willing to suck dick for water LOL
I love that documentary.
Damn…
Was hoping to watch the Internet Historian video on this one too…
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.
It’s like influencers entering a train about to crash because they know people can’t look away from a train wreck and thus they’ll get views.
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.
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.
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
