Great News: Billy McFarland Just Announced "Fyre Festival II" Is Officially On Sale Complete With $8000 Tickets, No Venue, And No Lineup

Source - If you’re in the mood for being stranded on a field with nothing but a cheese sandwich and FEMA tents to stay in, you’re in luck! Billy McFarland announced in a video posted to YouTube on Sunday that Fyre Festival II is officially a go.

“This is a big day. It has been the absolute wildest journey to get here, and it really all started during a seventh-month stint in solitary confinement,” the convicted con artist said in the video. 

We're deciding where the big comeback should take place, he allegedly spoke to people “as far away as the Middle East and South America” before ultimately deciding on the Caribbean — again.

“Guys, this is your chance to get in. This is everything I’ve been working towards. Let’s f–king go,” he concluded.

The event will take place at the end of 2024, though there are no other concrete details about the event on the website. Specific dates, location and festival lineup have not been shared, and the only VIP perks described are vague..."

Tickets are currently on sale, and for somewhere between $499 to $7,999, you too can have the opportunity to be “hustled, scammed, bamboozled, hood winked, and led astray,” just like Ja Rule, with whom McFarland launched the original Fyre Festival.

No venue, no artists, wildly expensive tickets, AND the whole thing is being run by arguably one of the biggest con-men/dweebs of all time? Count me in! Will Andy King be there? You remember...the guy who sucked someone off just to get a couple bottles of water...

(I knew the picture would jog your memory)

Part of me wants to go just to see what a shit show it will be, but I know that's what Billy wants. That's what he's banking on. He's a grifter. A rich kid who couldn't live up to his parents expectations so he decided to scam people out of money rather than make his own. Simply put, Billy McFarland is a scumbag.

Having said that, part of me…loves it? Like I respect how shameless he is as a human. Even after going to prison for four years he's still giving interviews, lounging in robes on Instagram and talking how he's going to "make it all right." He's also SELLING THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN. I don't know, one second I'm hot the next I'm cold. 

Here's the video of him announcing the festival..

And here he is claiming that the presale tickets "sold out"…  

Which could be true but I wouldn't take his word for it. He also could've put two tickets on sale and said they were sold out just to generate buzz. Whatever. If you buy a ticket to this (don't) just know what you're getting yourself into. Arguably the worst time of your life stuck on an island with the worst people on earth. Proceed at your own risk. That's it for this one. Thanks for reading.
