"Fyre Festival was advertised as a luxury music festival on a private island in the Bahamas.But promises of a private chartered flight to the island, gourmet meals, private glamping tents, yacht cruises, gourmet catering, and an all-star concert performance line-up "quickly turned into a terrifying B-movie, with flocks of Instagram models forced to seek shelter in an airport after arriving to discover a lack of food, violent locals, appalling accommodation and feral dogs roaming the grounds,"

Sounds like people paid as much as $12K thinking they were going to a high-end private music festival filled with Instagram models and debauchery, but instead ended up on a beach next to a Sandals resort, getting fed cheese sammiches and having their stuff stolen.

LOL.
 
Read about it this morning.....this is amazing on many levels.

I found one person's twitter feed that is stuck there. If you scroll down you see this on April 2nd...

Got drunk and bought tickets for this last night. Guess I'm going to the Bahamas?
