2 weekend long festival on "Private island" featuring headliners Ja Rule and Blink 182 and promoted by instagram models and rich kids has apparently turned out to be a complete scam. https://consequenceofsound.net/2017/04/12000-luxury-fyre-festival-is-basically-a-disaster-zone/
One of my friends is there. We have basically constantly been making fun of him since he got a ticket in December bc all of those Instagram models posted about it. He's been so cocky about how it was gonna be awesome. This is such sweet irony. Some of my friends and I stopped paying attention to the draft to just constantly refresh twitter last night to keep reading about how shitty it is. Can't wait to just crush him whenever he makes it back.
People on twitter are saying that security is blocking off tents then looting it. Kids getting their phones stolen
Lol I saw shit for this all over Facebook and was wondering who the hell would spend that money. This is hilarious
Maybe the festival organizers had good intentions but just didn't pull it off. For a while it looked like Waynestock was going to be a disaster.
anybody got links or tweets of the promotions for this event? kinda wanna see what they were advertising and promising
All this did to anyone who can comfortably afford a $12 K ticket is waste their time. Maybe I missed it, but did anyone actually play?
With it being a music festival, I bet there were a lot of tickets sold to people who cannot "comfortably afford" the ticket in any traditional sense.
