Billy McFarland and his Fyre Festival 2 keeps making laps around the internet, day after day. In a — now deleted — Instagram video, he was seen commenting “he and his team” were in conversations to acquire one of the private islands located in the Exumas Bahamas chain. In fact, he publicly mentioned it was Pablo Escobar’s private island.
The reason for this, he said, was that so many people wanted tickets, they had to move the festival to a new place with a higher capacity to accommodate everyone. Whether there actually are that many people interested in McFarland’s high-cost tickets — of which the cheapest costs $1,400 — or not, you be the judge.
The most expensive ticket (and trust us, it is expensive) is $1.1 million, and allows ticketholders to spend their time scuba diving with Billy McFarland himself and “bouncing around to other islands”.
Last week, we reported that the Fyre Fest founder claimed over 20,000 people were interested in attending this — hopefully, the first — edition of the gathering. We’re yet to see how that unfolds.
The deleted video could be found in this link right here. As to why he took it off, nothing has been said.
