Fyre Fest 2 tickets are being purchased at startling prices

After the disastrous Fyre Festival became held in 2017, which left hundreds of people stranded on an island in the Bahamas (resulting in multiple lawsuits), the event’s organizer Billy McFarland has decided that the festival deserves a 2d chance, even after he became convicted of fraud for the fiasco.

Per a updated tweet from McFarland, his redo of the chaotic event, Fyre Fest 2, is outwardly off to a good start as it has allegedly garnered over 1,200 applications for tickets, which are selling for a startling price, in a matter of some hours.

Tickets for Fyre Fest 2 are priced between $1,four hundred to $1.1 million, based on the event’s websites. The event is speculated to be held on April 25, 2025, for four days, on a deepest island off the Caribbean coast in Mexico.

In a fresh interview with As of late, McFarland also revealed that the festival currently has no lineup, and it sounds as if won’t be just fascinated about music, unlike the botched event in 2017.

“We haven’t booked any talent for Fyre 2,” said McFarland in the interview. “It’s now now not going to be just music – as an instance, karate wrestle. We’re in talks with them to set up a pit to have, like, live fights at Fyre Festival 2.”

He also claimed that there will likely be “luxury yachts,” planes that allow attendees to travel to other islands and countries, and scuba diving.

The disclosing of Fyre Fest 2 comes after the Fyre Festival in 2017 went viral for the whole incorrect reasons. The festival at that point became advertised as an “immersive music festival” on a “far flung and deepest island” in the Bahamas. Ad campaigns for the event even featured celebrities comparable to Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Emily Ratajkowski, etc. The music lineup also consisted of major artists comparable to Blink-182, Migos and Disclosure.

Many consumers, who paid thousands of bucks for tickets, were hit with a grim reality in April that year after they arrived at the island where the festival became set to take place. Many attendees found that the island became littered with disaster relief tents, and as well they claimed that they'd limited access to water and were served cheese sandwiches in styrofoam boxes.

The attendees were stranded on the island resulting from flights to the area being canceled and delayed. Some attendees even reported having their luggage lost, and documented the chaos on social media.

One of the many festival’s scheduled performers also pulled out of the event after they heard that it became fraudulent.

McFarland also faced wire fraud criminal charges related to defrauding the festival’s investors.

McFarland became also ordered to pay back the $26 million he collected from investors.
