Reply to comment by Combat_Medic in The Fyre Festival fraudster is launching his latest thing, and it looks like a party on an island. by shakycam3
it wasn't influencers, those were bought (mostly victoria secret models). it was the wannabe influencers and hedge fund kids.
tickets started at $1200, and you still had to travel there. not for the super rich, and quite cheap for what was promised, yet still not exactly every day joe's territory either.

I don't even think it was those. As far as we can tell, no one bought the VIP packages and the basic package was pretty much a steal for room, board, and entertainment on a tropical island. Ironically, McFarland fucked up by pricing below cost

I think you could do it all-in for less than $2500 which isn’t cheap but is very affordable for an island vacation in the Bahamas. Plenty of “regular” people could do that, especially for the kind of once in a lifetime experience they were promising.

Alright fair enough. The video made it sound like they were affordable, but hey I wasn’t there.

The flight was paid for in the ticket as well, it was really all inclusive.
