one of the world’s infinitely renewable resources is stupid people
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.
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.
Somebody should give a ticket to the guy who won his ticket in a raffle
last time.
And the guy who secured the water.
I hope it goes exactly like last time. I laughed for months over that.
Even if it's shitty, at least it gives these losers something to talk about compared to the rest of their vapid wastes of lives.
Don't worry I'm sure there vast amounts of money will help them recover from your bitter criticism
I'm pretty sure having that much money would cure me of my bitterness too.
Yeah, the rich are so superior and better than the rest of us, am I right?
Attacks on xi and putin doesn't make someone a tech bro you guys are great at gaslighting not so good at making rational arguments
Gonna be so much YouTube drama from this one down the track, love watching a shit show unfold 🍿
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...
The guy is a pathological scam artist and liar.
The documentary showed when he was out on bail, he got caught doing similar ticket scams again!
It’s almost funny at this point because this seems to be all he knows how to do. I’m sure we’ll hear about this again and he’ll be going back to jail at some point.
I bet the ham cheese sandwiches are gonna be really good this time
I highly recommend the Netflix documentary about the first one. Very entertaining with a dosage of head shaking and sadness.
Felt so bad for the man that was fully prepared to go blow someone for water.
