It can't be that bad check out the website;

https://www.fyrefestival.com/

quote:

Fyre Festival is a cultural moment created from a blend of music, art, and food. Experience a journey in the Exumas from April 28 – 30 and May 5 – 7, 2017.

You'll be flown roundtrip on a custom, VIP configured Boeing 737 aircraft between Miami International Airport and Exuma International Airport on Great Exuma. Guests will be staying in modern, eco-friendly, geodesic domes. Additional housing and events are available for purchase across nearby islands and private cays.

The main festival living and stage area is at Rokers Point on Great Exuma, with main day parties taking part on the private and secluded Coco Plum Beach.

Unplug from the everyday and ignite your flame in the Exumas.

Their exumas may just be a little too enflamed but that is the cost you have to pay to be a part of a cultural movement!

[e] Oh poo poo act fast!

Update: A limited number of yachts and VIP villas are still available. All tent packages are sold out.

Wait Ja Rule was a person? I always thought Ja Rule was a music producer term for a specific "UH. YEAH!" vocal bark. Like, the Amen Break or the Wilhelm Scream or something.

I can't tell if this is a long-game troll or if this is legitimate.

Either way, I'm laughing pretty hard. The troll option was good enough for me to get some basic laughs.

If it actually turns out that the 1% rich kids paid that much to show up to basic camping tents and get fed poor-person sandwiches, and their luggage was treated like mine was while I was in the military... loving LOL.

I want this to be true so bad. And I want other people to keep doing it. Fleecing trust fund babies is Darwinism at its finest.

That link in the beginning of the first post gives some insight. Ja Rule was basically the face of this music festival that this 25 year old guy decided to throw. Ja Rule/the 25 year old guy/both of them wanted the music festival to be kind of like a Coachella but for rich people. Tickets were anywhere from $400-$12k for the entire weekend. The idea was that you could only get there by a chartered jet and that it would be on a private island, that it would be advertised by Instagram models and celebrities Kendall Jenner.

Turns out running a festival, especially one as boujee and stupid as this, is incredibly difficult. Basically everything that was promised is non-existant and people that were flown on the charter are currently stuck on that island.

Oh yeah that 25 year old guy I mentioned? He's most known for this club thing in New York for rich young people called Magnises, which is basically a social club that gets you access to exclusive parties that he throws, deals at restaurants, access to concerts that are really hard to buy tickets for (like Beyonce and Adele), poo poo like racing a bunch of Teslas on a private race track, etc. But it turns out his social club loving sucks.

You know, I've never seen the play, and sort of admire the man, at least in regards to his unfucking of our nation's early debt crisis, but now every mention of "Hamilton" makes me want to break out the guillotines for a nice new revolution.

Why do 13-year olds wanna see Ja Rule? I am still confused, but whatever. That sandwich looks fine. I guess if I paid a couple hundred bucks I'd be mad if I expected to be fed, but then again, why does a teenager have that much cash to spend in the first place?
