Sad times for Fyre Festival 2 ticketholders (any fediverse folk admitting to having splashed out?) as its founder Billy McFarland has announced the cancelation of the event. But some lucky person will get to buy the brand, which is now for sale. When our @CultureDesk posted about this, they (and commenters) pooh-poohed the idea of anyone wanting to invest in Fyre Festival. But we have an idea: How about @theonion.com purchases the name, makes merch, and donates the money to good causes. We’d certainly pay for a “I went to the Fyre Festival 2, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt” tee.

Y’all that fyre festival grifter is planning scamfest 2.

I’m shocked that this is allowed to happen, but it looks like the first scam happened in Trump’s first term, so it makes sense he would run scam 2.0 now that the scammers and rape felons are running the government again.

But who TF is falling for this again?!?

Bwahaha. Anyone want to buy a super toxic brand name? #FyreFestival is for sale.

NYDailyNews: Aspiring event planner Billy McFarland is throwing in the towel on Fyre Festival. After two failures to launch, McFarland is hoping to sell the brand he made famous — for better or worse — to another operator. The announcement comes after two years of trying to launch a second Fyre Festival to follow the 2017 debacle that landed him in prison for four years.

“This brand is bigger than any one person and bigger than what I’m able to lead on my own. It’s a movement. And it deserves a team with the scale, experience, and infrastructure to realize its potential.‍"

What successful international conglomerate is being discussed here? It is, of course, Fyre Festival.

Felon founder Billy McFarland announced today that he's officially canceled the second edition of the festival, which was due to take place next month in Mexico, and is also selling the name. “We have decided the best way to accomplish our goals is to sell the Fyre Festival brand, including its trademarks, IP, digital assets, media reach, and cultural capital - to an operator that can fully realize its vision," he said in a statement on the official website. "There is a clear path for operators and entrepreneurs with strong domain expertise to build Fyre into a global force in entertainment, media, fashion, CPG, and more.” Here's more from @Independent

We don't have any info on how much MacFarland hopes to get for his brand, but we'll be sure to keep you posted, in case you're interested in investing.

Hmmm. Fyre 2 was due to start on May 30th in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
Once again Billy McFarland has failed to get his act together & no venue has been secured in Mexico.

So the festival has been "postponed" while the boys try to secure another venue... in another country.

I wonder how many people bought tickets costing from $1,400 to $25,000? Plus there are eight “Prometheus God of Fyre” $1m packages, for suckers only.

Fool me once...
