What you need to know:
After the fiasco and fraud of the Fyre Festival, the organizer (who even ended up in jail and owes a note) has already set to work for version 2.0 of the festival.
They say out there that there are those who do not learn flatly, not even if life tells them “friend, realize”. And it seems that this is the same case of Billy McFarland, who everyone remembers for being the organizer of the chaotic Fyre Festival. We say this because all the chaos that was created with the first attempt at this festival was not enough, Well, the idea of making a second edition is serious..
For those who don’t remember what happened, the Fyre Festival was born as a super exclusive event in which during a weekend in the Caribbean, some people would have the opportunity to live a unique experience with top artists. McFarland and rapper Ja Rule were the minds behind this concept, which he painted to revolutionize the concert and live performance industry.
However, things did not turn out as the organizers expected, and what began as a festival that promised a lot, ended up being a real fraud for the attendeeswho went through a lot of unpleasant things and in the end, they did not fulfill anything that they were promised with the very expensive tickets that they sold them for the Fyre Festival (Take a look at the Netflix documentary about it).
Billy McFarland made clear his idea of organizing a second Fyre Festival
That is why In 2018, Billy McFarland was sentenced to six years in prison for the crime of fraud, although in 2022 he was released from prison and he still has to pay 26 million dollars to those affected. Since then, little by little she has returned to the public eye and despite the row she got into with the first edition of the festival, it seems that is willing to organize a 2.0 version.
A few months ago We tell you about the intentions that McFarland had to make the second edition of the Fyre Festival. At that time, Billy hinted on his social networks that with this new version of the event that went wrong, he could settle the debt he has. Although yes, she did not confirm anything about it, because it was just an idea that crossed her mind to gather wool.
And they are already selling tickets for the Fyre Festival II
However, what began as a thought is now a reality, as it turns out that Billy McFarland is already selling tickets for the Fyre Festival 2023… just as they read it. Through a TikTok video, The organizer confirmed that there will be a second part of this event and anyone who wants to launch can buy their tickets.
“This is a great day, because as of now, Fyre Festival II tickets are officially on sale,” declared McFarlandwho said that after talking with people from the Middle East and even from Latin America, decided that the festival will return to the Caribbean at the end of next year (i.e. in 2024).
Although Fyre Festival II does not have a lineup (because we doubt that any artist wants to get involved with this event) much less a venue or fecja, McFarland put tickets on sale from the “The First 100” section, for the price of $499 dollars (that is, about 8 thousand 489 Mexican pesos), although later they will be able to buy tickets for the most expensive sections, which so far it is known will cost around $7,999 dollars (which is equivalent to 136 thousand pejecoins).
As excited as Billy McFarland sounds about all of this, the reality is that The outlook for the second edition of the Fyre Festival looks complicated, since earlier this month a smaller event was canceled because only 200 people arrived and his vision was much greater. Instead, he plans for at least 10,000 people to fall for the corrected and increased version of the festival… this gentleman doesn’t understand.
