    The first drop of 100 pre-sale tickets for Fyre Festival II went on sale Monday for $499 a pop and sold out within a day, according to the festival’s website.

    So 100 people have more money than sense.

      If I had to guess, plenty of them are “influencers” the more of a disaster this is the better for their views on how horrible it was. It’s a no lose situation for them.

      Are we even sure those are real sales? They only made 100 tickets available. It’s far more reasonable to assume that they “released 100 tickets” and then had a grifter friend purchase them all immediately. You’d be able to say that you sold out. Then you ride the wave of free publicity that you get from news article like this. Seems like grifting 101.

        I’d bet you’re right. Why else would they only release 100 tickets? It’s a laughably small number for a music festival. Most bars hold more people than that.

      If I knew then what I know now about the first fire fest, I would have considered trying to get tickets.

      I have fairly low standards for a vacation, usually I like to go camping so spartan accomodations, meh food, etc. are pretty much par for the course. I usually do a good bit better for myself than the fyre fest provided, but I could make do just fine with what was available.

      But man, I would have loved to watch all the entitled rich assholes melting down in-prson in real-time.

        To be fair I did see a guy write online that he bought a ticket to the festival when the prices went way down claiming to be at most middle class.
