Presale tickets for the follow-up to the notorious Fyre Festival have been snapped up. A psychologist tells Newsweek why people are willing to risk their money.
There were a limited number of tents available for the 5,000 ticketholders, as well as water-access issues and a shortage of medical personnel and other staff. The portable toilets didn't work properly and, as the event was meant to be"cashless," many guests were trapped without money.
In 2018, McFarland was sentenced to six years in prison for defrauding festival investors and running a"sham ticket scheme," among. He was released in early March 2022, but still owes $26 million in restitution payments. "This distance from the event made it memorable without invoking the strong negative reaction that a lived experience may bring," Carroll said.
