Fyre Festival 2 Tickets Go On Sale, Billy McFarland Announces
deadline.comBilly McFarland is giving the Fyre Festival concept a second shot and made an announcement about ticket sales going on sale.
Fyre Festival II has no specific location set yet but it’s supposed to take place by the end of 2024 in the Caribbean. Per the festival’s website, ticket prices start at $499 and go up to $7,999. “This is a big day because as of right now, Fyre Festival II tickets are officially on sale,” McFarland says in a video he posted on YouTube. “It has been the absolute wildest journey to get here and it really all started during the seventh-month stint in solitary confinement.
