Actually, there's no proof anybody paid for the highest tier ticket for Fyre Festival, what we do know is they were giving out tickets at a massive discount, think $1,200 covering a full week vacation in a private villa with 5 star food and concerts from your favorite bands. That's ducking dirt cheap for what they were advertising, and a lot of blue collar people thought they were basically winning the lottery.
