Bought tickets to Fyre Festival II? If it goes t*ts up, you won’t get a refund.

We’re about two months from when the gates of Fyre Festival II open on the Mexican Caribbean island of Ilsa Mujeres and things are going fine and accordring to plan.

Wait. *Checks notes* No. No, they’re not.

With about 60 days to go, we still have almost no idea of who’s performing, what events are planned, and how the island is going to handle the influx of festivalgoers. Meanwhile, tickets continue to be available with prices heading as high as US$1.1 million.

The chances of this whole thing going wildly pear-shaped are pretty good. And ticketholders should know that if it all dies, they won’t be getting any refunds. If you look within the Terms of Service for the ticket sale, you’ll see that there will be no refunds. It’s right there: “All Ticket sales are final. NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES.”

Just so you know, tickets start at US$1400, then go to US$5,000, US$25,000, and then the US$1.1 million. Those final tickets–the so-called “Prometheus Package”–is sold out. People stand to lose over a million bucks if this thing doesn’t happen.

And there’s more. Let me quote further from the Terms of Service:

“A Ticket that is validly purchased constitutes a revocable license for an event to be held at a date and time (unless rescheduled) listed on or in connection with such Ticket and may be revoked at any time for any reason.

“FYRE reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice.

“You agree that no FYRE Party will be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

: “We may cancel any event at any time in our sole discretion.

“Further, event date, time, location and talent are subject to change, and any such change will not be considered a cancellation of the event.”

“No refunds will be given for event date, time, location, or lineup changes or cancellations by artists.

“You bear all risks of inclement weather in connection with the event to which your Ticket is issued.

“Events may take place despite inclement weather conditions. In the event of cancellation due to a natural disaster, Tickets will not be refunded, and all costs associated with this cancellation, such as travel expense to the site, will not be compensated.”

Yeah, I’m in. Who’s with me? Anyone? Hello?
