This thread officially has its second derail!!!

The first was from a couple years back consisting of mild banter about millennials.

Fast forward to present day and guys are factoring this whole thing into a plot for The Office.


I don't think anything got derailed. The conversation just resolved of its own volition.

I enjoyed it at first but then when Michael went from being good natured embodiment of the Peter principle to high functioning autistic special needs person I stopped watching.
That description seems to indicate you didn't watch it at all.

Don't forget they all get there and Ryan is actually the mind behind Frye fest (with goatee). He used woof to spread the influencers message.

I thought this was a given, but I guess everyone forgot that...


Btw, the title would have to be "Ryan started the Fyre". His involvement is what made Michael buy everyone tickets in the first place. The others didn't realize Ryan was involved until they got there.

I knew where that was going the second it started playing.

Nice bump for the thread that inspired this username.

We regret to inform you that Fyre Festival II tickets are officially on sale

Billy McFarland's stint in prison for fraud gave him the time to churn out a 50-page business plan to revive Fyre Festival and now you can buy tickets.

In a YouTube video posted Sunday, the convicted con artist officially announced Fyre Festival II, set to take place in the Caribbean sometime at the end of 2024. The specific dates, location, and festival lineup have not been revealed, but tickets are currently on sale starting at $499 and going up to $7,999, per the festival website.

I'm not a festival kind of guy. Dumb question…

Why would someone buy tickets to this event if this con artist hasn't booked any acts?

All I see on his website is crappy looking overpriced gear.

I so badly want to see this fail again.

Think of all the money he made last time and only had to go to prison for 7 months. ****, I'd do it again too.

Here's the thing with influencers... They don't care if they get views on their Instagram because they are partying with celebrities or because they got scammed, as long as it gets them views.

Guarantee half the people who have bought tickets already have their TikTok scripts written for when things go wrong.

Exactly. It'll probably be worse for people if this thing goes off without a hitch.

Maybe Woodstock '99 type fires and chaos…if people are dumb enough to give one penny to this fraud…losing money is they least of their worries.
