Culture Fyre Festival leaves spoilt millenials living like refugees - dashcon x100

Set to take place on a remote island in the Exumas on Fyre Cay, Fyre Fest was the brainchild of rapper Ja Rule and entrepreneur Billy McFarland. But the event - for which tickets cost between $1,500 and $250,000 – got off to a rough start.

The festival grounds were littered with barely-erected, unfurnished tents and piles of trash. The gourmet meals that festival-goers were promised consisted of sad-looking cheese sandwiches. The guests' luggage was thrown from the back of a truck onto the ground, and security was nowhere to be found when attendees began engaging in verbal and physical confrontations.

According to one festival-goer's account: So, Fyre Festival was a complete scam. We arrived at Exuma International Airport and were told to get on buses if we are staying on site. So, Megan, Tobi and I get on our bus to go to what we think will be the ultimate glamping experience - king sized beds, solar powered lightbulbs, furniture, etc. What actually happened is that we go to a semi-constructed tent, a tiny stage and a huge line of very worried looking people who needed to check in to find their bags.

Unfortunately, they did not let us pick up our bags at the airport as we were told they would be waiting for us in our tents. That was a lie and it took us from 6:30 to 9:45pm to get our luggage back. Aside from this, the tents weren't even built yet, so of course there was not furniture inside (as promised). I spoke to a woman who had paid 10k for a VIP Villa Package - she was promised an exclusive villa, VIP access, and an upgraded culinary experience - instead she got a partially constructed tent and all of the stuff she put inside it was stolen.

Every single staff member had no idea what was going on which meant that all information we were told was wrong or contradicted what we had been told before. I didn't see any food but there were people going around encouraging people to drink. Obviously right off the bat we tried to leave but since it took us almost 4 hours to find our bags, we were stuck there and then lost the staff member who promised us a full refund as he (rather conveniently) did not pick up the phone.

So, now we are at Exumas International Airport waiting for a flight to Miami to arrive that was supposed to be here 2 hours ago. All of the flights from Miami to Exumas have been cancelled due to the deception, and the ones that are coming to Exumas from Miami have been labeled "rescue missions."

This was their meal

Their tents were left over foreign aid tents from Hurricane Matthew, when they were promised villas

Twitters on fire with people using the #fyrefestival hashtag, it's the best source of information that I can see. The r/fyrefestival reddit is full of bs

Spoiler: lulzy tweets

They just locked all the rich guys in the airport.

"for which tickets cost between $1,500 and $250,000"

These kids should be taxed more tbh

 

[SpessCaptain]

This is hilarious, shows these rich people the other side of the spectrum they've probably never experienced before.

Its humbling.

Obviously a drill to prepare for the FEMA camps. Alex Jones was right, they're coming!

 

[TL 611]

More shit I've been spying thats been hilarious:

Spoiler

This is the so-called Tiki Bar. Looks like it has been built with pallets"

Blink 182 pulled out earlier, the tweets kinda amusing.

"anybody know how to make weapons?"

The stage

Their shit being dumped out of shipping containers:

A lot of them are complaining about the lack of water in the airport. Maybe their dehydration has something to do with the bar they had set up the night before

"people hopping on the back of local cars to try and make it to the airport"

They're all dead

THE BALLPIT IS BACK!

 

[Pickle Inspector]

What a bunch of babies, have some drinks and you'll have a regular music festival atmosphere with the added benefit of probally getting a refund.

 

[Positron]

Say what you will about Juggalos, at least their festivals don't fuck up like this.

Say what you will about Juggalos, at least their festivals don't fuck up like this.

Even if they did I bet they'd still make the best of it.

 

[vertexwindi]

Hahaha wow, how does one even respond to this.

 

[Lackadaisy]

These rich kids deserve it.

 

[Tootsie Bear]

Tickets: $1,500
VIP Package: $12.000 and up
Sitting back in my comfy chair while eating a delicious slice of pizza as spoiled rich kids react to being duped: Priceless!

 

[Hyperion]

I stopped reading at Ja Rule, already knew it was going to be a hilarious shitshow for white people with too much money AKA Ja Rule's entire demographic

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

I hope they resort to cannibalism.

 

[BoingBoingBoi]

this is the greatest of timelines.

thanks for the twitter @Melchett, but i think this guy might have noped outta there by now? or died.

Telegraph is on the case now.

The subreddit is full of disillusion and redditeurs, complaining about raycism in the sub, the post in question being submitted of course by /u/Bonnaride2014, who's totally not a rich white festival-going degenerate hippie fuck.
