Tickets are also for sale directly through Fyre Festival Mexico&#8217;s website, ranging in price from $1,400 to $1.1 million.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sure many people think I&#8217;m crazy for doing this again,&#8221; McFarland said in a statement announcing the ticket sales and festival packages. &#8220;But I feel I&#8217;d be crazy not to do it again. After years of reflection and now thoughtful, the new team and I have amazing plans for Fyre 2. The adventure seekers who trust the vision and take the leap will help make history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For now, it&#8217;s unclear what exactly festival attendees are getting for their money. The festival&#8217;s site promises arts, cuisine, music, comedy, fashion, gaming, sports and &#8220;treasures.&#8221; But no musical artists have committed to performing at the three-day event, slated for May 30 to June 2. Instead, so-called &#8220;Fyre Experiences&#8221; will be released in a number of drops leading up to the festival,&#8221; its website says.<\/p>\n<p>Lostnights, a Mexican festival producer, will produce and operate the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>What does $1 million buy you?<\/h2>\n<p>Most ticket holders have to pay for flights and accommodations separately to attend the festival. But with a $25,000 &#8220;Fyre Phoenix&#8221; pass, attendees &#8220;will stay amongst the artists and other performing talent&#8221; at one of two luxury resorts, the event website\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fyre.mx\/explore#pane-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">says<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A package valued at roughly $1.1 million, dubbed the &#8220;Prometheus God of Fyre&#8221; pass, covers accommodations for up to eight people, although other perks are not specified. The pass grants access to &#8220;unique adventures, intimate dinners and other exclusive excursions,&#8221; the festival site notes, without providing additional details.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Guests with the highest-priced pass can choose to stay on either a yacht or in a villa, according to the Fyre website, and will travel by private air travel from Miami to Cancun, then by helicopter to Isla Mujeres.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>What happened at the first Fyre Festival?<\/h2>\n<p>McFarland also promised a luxury experience at the first Fyre fest, staged in Great Exuma, Bahamas, eight years ago, with Blink-182 and other musical acts expected to perform.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, most pass holders found that their accommodations consisted of unfinished tents and drenched mattresses, with cheese sandwiches for sustenance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>McFarland, who was convicted of defrauding investors of more than $27 million, in 2018 was sentenced to <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/billy-mcfarland-sentenced-today-fyre-festival-founder\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">six years in prison<\/a><\/span>.
