LMAO: ‘LUXURY’ Spoiled Kid Music Fest Promoted By Kendall Jenner Is A Veritable HELL ON EARTH
Kendall Jenner and a bunch of other celebs promoted ‘Fyre Fest’ as a ‘luxury’ music festival on an island in the Bahamas…
It was promoted on Instagram and websites like Bustle as a ‘getaway music festival’ for people who aren’t music junkies.
And beautiful people would be there.
So, it was for shallow poseurs.
They should’ve called it ‘Crap Fest’.
Or maybe ‘Lord of the Flies Fest’.
It’s been utter chaos for the people that paid the $450 a day for the peons, but the elites could get VIP passes for a whopping $12,780.
Twitter has been full of rage, frustration and mockery:

So Fyre Fest is a complete disaster. Mass chaos. No organization. No one knows where to go. There are no villas, just a disaster tent city. pic.twitter.com/1lSWtnk7cA

Performances were canceled by big names like Blink 182:

Poor organization meant that you couldn’t even drown your sorrows let alone your frustration:
Fyre Fest doesn’t have beer. They “ordered it late” but they assured us it will be here tomorrow. #fyrefestival

And they made USPS look like art restoration experts in their handling of luggage:
This is how Fyre Fest handles luggage. Just drop it out of a shipping container. At night. With no lights. #fyrefestival pic.twitter.com/X5CdZRyJWo

But hey! At least organizers are listening to the complaints and coming up with solutions:
As compensation for any ill will caused by #fyrefestival
Official Staff has announced all attendees will get an extra hour in the ballpit. pic.twitter.com/Us58auYPSB— Mom (@truongasm) April 28, 2017
Perhaps they’ve realized the sh-tfest that this really is:
All Flights now cancelled from Miami. Festival likely cancelled. Empty planes now flying from Miami in a “rescue mission”. #fyrefestival

Well, there’s always the lawsuit option:

It’s arguable that the planning and customer service was shit but it didn’t really set in until this morning when Blink182 CANCELLED

It is complete &total chaos, every1 is running around frantically looking for answers &none of the staff can help. Even they are in the dark

They just cancelled the rest of tonight’s incoming flights so they can send them to pick us all up tomorrow.

I’ve been hearing that we’re getting refunded so that would be just swell but I won’t hold my breath. I’m gonna make the best of this 4 now

UPDATE: they are having us sign papers for full refunds. They are just pieces of computer paper but I mean…refunds pic.twitter.com/oNa8EIojl1

Wow.
That looked like hell.
We’ll see if they get their money back…
But it turns out that all this suffering was for a good cause:
LMAOOOOOO JA-RULE SCAMMED RICH WHITES KID AND DONATED THE MONEY TO CHARITIES #fyrefestival pic.twitter.com/HvdAn9uclb

On the one hand, it’s great that a few wussified millennials had to feel some suffering in their cozy lives.
On the other, they paid for an event that was promoted as ‘luxurious’ and didn’t get what they were paying for.
Maybe a few of them just learned a very expensive lesson.
And…
