>"Gabby FitzGerald, a Columbia University sophomore, had booked an eight-person luxury “lodge” on the festival website that initially featured renderings of what the interior would look like. She said the company removed the pictures from the website at some point after she booked, and when she arrived, they told her it was no longer available. Other people who booked luxury accommodations and villas, even advertised with private bathrooms, were instead offered tents and a communal bathroom in a trailer, according to Morton."

Sadly the festival will still happen

>"Festivalgoers paid anywhere from $1,500 to $250,000 to stay on-site from Thursday to Monday, with another wave booked for next weekend. But instead of being shown to their accommodations when they landed, they were loaded onto buses and dropped off at a beach for an impromptu day party"

JUST

Why is everybody taking pleasure in the fact that these people got fucked over?

It's not like they're millionaires. I could afford at $1,500 festival ticket. I don't get it.

>Traveling to a different island with the promise of luxury living conditions
>Finally arrive
>Disaster relief tents
>Waiting in line for shit food in a polystyrene box
>Pretty much detained at an airport and treated like shit

It was actually a social experiment to show rich Instagram kids what it's like to live as a refugee

Screenshot this

>Ja Rule wrote on Twitter that he was “heartbroken” by the way the event unfolded and that it was “NOT A SCAM”: “I don’t know how everything went so left but I’m working to make it right.”
>A talent producer hired to work on the festival suggested that it was beset by problems from the outset.
>“When we arrived, my initial reaction was ‘huh’,” wrote Chloe Gordon in New York Magazine. “This was not a model-filled private cay that was owned by Pablo Escobar. This was a development lot covered in gravel with a few tractors scattered around.”
>“We were standing on an empty gravel pit and no one had any idea how we were going to build a festival village from scratch.”
>Ja Rule’s partner, co-organiser Billy McFarland, told Rolling Stone that Friday was “the toughest day of my life”. He admitted being overly “ambitious”.
>“We were a little naïve in thinking for the first time we could do this ourselves. Next year, we will definitely start earlier.”
>There would be another event, held in the US in May, free for ticketholders that would “keep the theme of being on water and beach” and be “not just music, but all forms of entertainment”. He clarified that “we will not try to do it ourselves”.

How can they be so stupid? The "social experiment" theory makes more sense than "We just fucked up!"

Jew Rule

People who paid $1,500 maybe were going to be there for only one day, on average people probably paid around $12,000

>I could afford at $1,500 festival ticket

but would you pay $1,500 to see blink-182? and would you drop that kind of money without doing research?

I want this to be true.

>but would you pay $1,500 to see blink-182? and would you drop that kind of money without doing research?

Also, would you complain on twitter acting like this is worse than a POW camp?

...

the real question is

How many rich kids trapped on a shithole island does it take before the US Pacific Fleet has to rescue them like they are trapped in Freetown c. 1999?

AHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>implying the current state of murica will do anything to help its people

Take that bourgeois fucks

how the fuck could you afford $1,500 dollar ticket? i dont know anyone who doesnt live dollar to dollar who is under 30 unless you have inherited wealth...

this is indicitive of the failures of hyper capitalism. i view it as the end of something. when the system that benefits only the very wealthy at the exploitation of others its fucked but since those in power are benefiting from it they can propogate it. but when even those within the elite classes get fucked over from it it becomes clear there are no winners and it hurts us all...

It depends where you live m8. A poor minimum wage worker in cali is making more than your average minimum wage in say missouri. Of course its cheaper to live in missouri but these things can be worked around. What if you were living with your parents No bills and you bring home $1800 a month? Meanwhile johnny in Missouri lives with his parents making roughly $1200 a month... both have no bills both work shitty minimum wage. Unfortunelty being poor on a coast is a lot better off than being poor in the heartland.

Eat the rich

Most of them are back in the US already

Holy kek

I bet the organizers and everyone involved listen to drake and believe in astrology

I want to live like common people,
I want to do whatever common people do,
I want to sleep with common people,
I want to sleep with common people,
Like you.

I wonder if this will get as crazy as Woodstock '99.

>College sophomore books an 8 person luxury tent
wat

is our lord and father above finally punishing those who have committed the sin of poor taste???

>tfw ja rule's fyre fest becomes the next dashcon

This. They paid $1500 to see Ja Rule. They're rich white kids who idolize nigger culture. They deserve this.

literally how stupid do you have to be to pay thousands for a festival that you know nothing about because kendall jenner told you to??

>tfw 22 and making 40k/year in a comfy IT job
>tfw save money and don't go out every night like a bougie fuck
>tfw renting a house and almost have enough for my own down payment
Learn to budget and get a real job and quit whining about how "the man" is keeping you down

>actually being the man

Who the fuck still listens to Ja Rule? This is just bizarre.

>"Gabby FitzGerald, a Columbia University sophomore, had booked an eight-person luxury “lodge”

>sophomore
>luxury lodge for 8 people

wat

LOVE IT WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME BAAAABY

>i dont know anyone who doesnt live dollar to dollar who is under 30 unless you have inherited wealth...

I started working at a startup in high school. The pay was mediocre but they gave us a ton of shares in the company.
When we went public, my shares were worth close to $3 billion.

Capitalism is alive and well.

Hello, fellow /biz/ larper.

read her parents booked ot for her
kek is reality

Almost everyone I know could afford that (mid 20s) and my friends are plebs. Retail, trades, etc.

I'm a software engineer part time while I finish my degree.
I could afford a $1500 ticket, but that's because I wouldn't spend $1500 on a festival ticket.

I'm a cheap bastard.

i raffed in public, thx

for me it's this weird fascination with how badly this festival fucked up
like dashcon

I just hope these poor souls brought enough Molly to make it through to next weekend...

Tax refund/end of the year bonus. Also, work a trade. I'm a union line worker for an electric company and make 70+k a year depending on overtime. I turn 24 in a month.

I'm a collegefag making $150ish dollars a week part time and I could afford that if I didn't waste my money one other stuff(i've probably spend almost $1500 in the last year on clothes alone)

living with your parents until you are making good money counts for a lot

Union 1340 here.

This is hilarious, let's see if we can get some memes out of it.

what is everyone's beef with millenials?

holy fuck

self-loathing

Not millennials, only the rich 1% spoiled ones

the survivors were splitting into factions and trying to fabricate improvised weapons

well my beef is with the instagram rich retards

>TRUSTING A NIGGER OR A JEW

LOL

No sympathy for these fags

Wait, this shit is still going on?

t. Numale

>seeing all these richfaggots getting blown the fuck out

Thank you God for making life not so shitty, even if it's just for a few days.

>being proud of 40k/year

shit nigga what fucking state you in? my two niggas who are mechanical engineers like myself are making base salary of 55k (the other is making 88k) in shit ass michigan.

>tfw neet
>tfw tried getting a job at uber but got denied because of an assault charge six years ago

What kind of dumb-ass fucking retard pays that kind of money to see Blink-182 and Migos?

sometimes getting a job feels like total bullshit
like every time you learn something new they raise the bar

The American government will stop at nothing to help its upper class.

Idiots who don't know the meaning of words. That or they're too young to be on Sup Forums.

>making 40k/year
>just learn how to budget like me

There's something humorous about watching a bunch of yuppies reenact Lord of the Flies

>rich millennials make fun of richer millennials
>>"bourgeios fucks! haha thats what you get when your parents buy you everything!" they tweet from their smartphones in the car that their parents bought them when they got their license

amazing

kek

>How can they be so stupid?

Ja Rule doesn't seem like the brightest bulb.

>All festival goers this year will be refunded in full. We will be working on refunds over the next few days and will be in touch directly with guests with more details. Also, all guests from this year will have free VIP passes to next year’s festival.

Whew, at least they get all their money back

Haha that's a scam this nigger went out of business after his beef with eminem.

...

You're a failure of hypersocialism and subsidized losses.

Ja and the organizer are about to have their balls sued off on this one.

you're allowed to make fun of them too you know

You're so full of shit. Proof that you're a billionaire or fuck off. Which startup? What did you do? What role did you have? Who ran it and how much did they come out with? How was the opening IPO?

Of all the lies I've heard on Sup Forums, yours is the most fantastic.

idk I've seen worse at leeds festival desu

>can afford a computer to shitpost about people richer than him
>meanwhile 2 BILLION people dont have access to clean water or a proper place to shit

Do you even know whats happening in Syria right now you fuck? Get the fuck off of Sup Forums and do something to make the world a better place

Yeah, but you pretty much expect that at Leeds. These people didn't. Not that I have any sympathy for them. I hope the organizers get sued for every penny they have, though.

And that the Bahamas authorities make them clean up and take their shit with them. Crapping over their island...

What is supposed to be so bad about this? I feel like its only because hes black

The schadenfreude is strong

my shares were worth close to 3 billion. now i post on Sup Forums

>Serfs revolt against Barons
>Use pitchforks made from Feudalism

thats how retarded you sound

...

this

fuck them for being so gullible

underrated

Where were you?

WTF IS THIS REAL?

user, i..

Buzzfeed told me Millennials were 1981-1997, then after that is Gen Z 1998-2010.

This dumb cunt isn't a millennial if she's a college sophomore.

>This dumb cunt isn't a millennial if she's a college sophomore.
yeah she is. my sister was born in 98 and she's a freshman in college

I love how they are already speaking of next year and are offering people free VIP that payed for this huge fuck up of a festival. Do they really think anyone would even think of going again. Festivals are getting a little out of hand.

>Does anyone know how to make weapons?

i mean, if next year they get logistics right and have a non-shit lineup, I would definitely go if I had a free VIP pass. And it's not like the VIP passes where all these people got, it's full refund + free VIP passes

I don't understand why someone would pay to see $1,500 to see Ja Rule in 2017, no matter how good the seats are.

I had an uber who was fucking obsessed with Ja Rule, literally the only Ja Rule fan i've ever met, and boy was he a fan.

this is hilarious. bump

holy kek this is incredible

kek

a couple of cameras and we have a real Oscar contender for best documentary 2018
