Fyre Festival 2 have already sold out, despite there being no line-up or location announced yet, according to founder Billy McFarland.Earlier this week, the first 100 tickets for the second instalment of the famously disastrous music festival went on sale.First developed by now convicted fraudster McFarland six years ago, the disgraced Fyre Fest was originally set to run over two weekends on a private beach in the Bahamas.However, it was quickly revealed to be fraudulent once punters arrived on the scene to find inadequate accommodation and a lack of food and water.

The disgraced enterprise was the subject of the the explosive Netflix documentary FYRE.However, the festival’s notorious reputation appears to have worked in its favour, as pre-sale tickets (spots 1-100) have reportedly already sold out.“We announced our first pre-sale on Sunday, they sold out very, very quickly,” McFarland claimed in an a video interview with TMZ.He added that even without a line-up or location, the first drop reportedly sold out “almost instantly”.Prices for the tickets were $499 (£392) with other tiers that are “coming soon” ranging from $799-$7,999 (£628-£6,289).FYRE Festival 2 is LIVE!.
