I watched a youtuber talk about this a bit ago.....he basically said these days people are begging to be scammed and all of these young dumb asses look at it like "it is just my parents money".....really he is right they are all so desperate to be able to say "they were there when it all started" they will just hand over massive amounts of money knowing there is a 95% chance they will get fucked

0 acts have signed to play this. You’re about 5% too generous. Plus, Isle of Mujer isn’t really a logistical solution for a ton of people.

Isla Mujeres is about to become a haven for Tik Tok women with bare midriffs and jacked up bros with money to throw around while treating the locals like shit. I can’t imagine these people in golf carts filming their content instead of focusing on the road. Doomed.

I'd been willing to contribute to a new wreath fund so we could send a Surly contingent to this mestival. 

I nominate @immamac as an attendee, but I'm open to alternative options. Maybe we could get representative Kelly to go since shes posting here again under a sock. Just gonna need a videographer.

You would have to be one stupid m'fer to send this dude even $1. So he will probably sell out. But it seems he is barely even trying

When tickets to the second Fyre festival went on sale this week, there was just one concrete detail: it would take place on Isla Mujeres, a tropical island off Cancún, Mexico.

But the festival seems to be repeating its own history as an improvised disaster after the local government in Isla Mujeres denied knowing anything about it.

“We have no knowledge of this event, nor contact with any person or company about it,” Edgar Gasca, from the tourism directorate of Isla Mujeres, told the Guardian.

“For us, this is an event that does not exist.”

The first edition of Fyre festival in 2017 made headlines after guests arrived only to find their luxury experience was a sham with inadequate accommodation, a lack of organisation and music acts pulling out. It was later referred to as “closer to The Hunger Games … than Coachella”.

Its founder, Billy McFarland, described by Vanity Fair as “the poster boy for millennial scamming”, was convicted of fraud and sentenced to six years in prison. He was later released after less than four years. A New York court also awarded $7,220 each to 277 attendees.

But earlier this week McFarland appeared on TV to announce a kind of comeback.

“Fyre 2 is real,” McFarland told the Today show. “My dream is finally becoming a reality.”

Quote

Gasca said he had spoken with the minister for tourism in the state of Quintana Roo and also the hotels that Fyre listed as accommodation for guests on its website, and that none of them had heard about the festival.

Impression Isla Mujeres, one of the luxury hotels at which Fyre promised accommodation, told the Guardian it had not received “any approach or enquiry with regards to the event” and that they were investigating it.

In a public audience this morning, Atenea Gómez Ricalde, municipal president of Isla Mujeres, said she knew nothing more about the festival than what was online. “People are trying to use the peace and tranquillity we have created here for their own benefit,” she added.

“The organisers didn’t even bother to approach the authorities,” said Gasca. “It’s very strange, because any manager knows that if you’re going to hold an event, let alone a massive event, you need municipal authorisation.

“I think they thought they would just announce it and see if it got traction, then ask for the permits halfway down the path,” Gasca added. “It’s a bit of a naive way to think.”

Given all the media attention the event was receiving, the local government put out a public denial, saying that no permit had been requested for the event.

I've came up with the perfect plan. During the event Surly rents a group of rooms in Cancun at an all inclusive. We buy 4 tickets that surely with be worthless. 

The days of the even we rent the the following, pay for some strippers and sail to the Island.

I’ve done this twice. It’s one hell of a bender. When you get off and head to north beach, it makes you want to leave the world behind and become a bum. 
 

I love that place (minus the shootings).
