Fyre Festival is back for a sequel allegedly
"Want to go to a music festival in the Caribbean? Do you care if there’s any live music, food or shelter when you get there? It’s your lucky day.
Fyre Festival organizer and fraudster Billy McFarland announced a ticket drop on Monday for a sequel festival — yes, that Fyre Festival. The 2017 debacle advertised as an ultra-luxurious “cultural experience of the decade.” But instead customers paid between $1,200 to over $100,000 for disaster-relief tents and cheese sandwiches on the Bahamian island of Exuma. The very event that landed McFarland in federal prison for wire fraud.

After teasing the follow-up festival earlier this year, 100 presale tickets went up for grabs on Aug. 21 for $499 apiece (technically $549.89 after taxes and fees). Tickets will continue to increase incrementally, with the last round selling for $7,999 each. For $1,500 less, you could get four VIP tickets to Coachella with accommodations in a “ready-to-go Lake Eldorado Tent.”"
