Fyre Festival leaves attendees stranded in chaos after fraudulent promises [Breaking]
Attendees of Fyre Festival thought they were paying for a one-of-a-kind experience when they purchased tickets to what promised to be a lavish affair. Technically, they weren’t wrong – but the unique experience which awaited ticket-holders on the Bahamian festival grounds was a bit different than the luxurious, supermodel-filled affair which they’d been promised.
The new festival – run by Ja Rule and Billy McFarland’s Fyre Media company – made headlines upon its announcement through a sponsored content campaign promoted on Instagram by the likes of Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, and Bella Hadid. However, what seemed to be a glamorous gathering has swiftly fallen from grace as Fyre Festival (figuratively) goes up in flames.
Many ticket-holders never got a chance to see the dilapidation onsite at the festival, as all flights scheduled to depart to the destination in the Bahamas have reportedly been cancelled.
