FYRE Festival 2 goers will not get their money back if the event is canceled – and the top-tier tickets cost over $1 million each.

The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal that the second iteration of the initially doomed Fyre Festival has some unusual stipulations in the Terms of Service for the multi-day soiree, which has already changed its location twice in the last month.

In the astonishingly long Terms of Service, Fyre attempts to avoid accountability should just about anything go wrong this time around.

In the lengthy agreement for ticket holders, there are a slew of serious warnings for what one might expect with their pricey purchase.

One such warning simply states under a section titled Refunds and Exchanges that “All Ticket sales are final. NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES.”

General admission starts at $1,400, with the next ticket step at $5,000 then $25,000 and finally an eye-watering $1,100,000 for the “Prometheus” package.

On Tuesday, FYRE founder Billy McFarland claimed on Instagram that they had sold their second Prometheus ticket.

In 2018, Billy pleaded guilty to two charges of wire fraud in federal court in Manhattan and confessed to using fraudulent documents to entice investors into putting over $26 million into his company.

He agreed to forfeit the $26 million, and had previously claimed to The U.S. Sun that his attempt at Fyre Fest 2 would help him pay down his restitution.

The agreement continued with a disclaimer about the simple purchase of a ticket to Fyre Fest 2 that immediately placed the ticket holder on shaky ground for attending any actual events.

“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.”

Earlier this month, a Mexican tourism board claimed that they had no information on the upcoming event, the location of which has since been changed.

In another section, titled Modifications to Service, the agreement warned “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.”

Later on, under a section titled Event Cancellation Changes, the terms warned further: “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.”

As viewers of the Netflix documentary Fyre will recall, the event’s talent all canceled at the last minute.

Additionally, patrons’ paltry accommodations, which were just FEMA tents and Amazon mattresses, became drenched during a massive rain storm.

“If an event is cancelled or rescheduled for any other reason, we may, at our sole discretion, offer to refund the base Ticket price of the cancelled event,” the terms politely then offered.

The event has already changed locations after it was announced it would be held in Isla Mujeres, Mexico, in February.

Just last week, the event’s founder Billy McFarland shared on his socials that it is now expected to be held two hours south in the “heart of the Riviera Maya.”

The event is supposed to be held in just two short months, from May 30 to June 2.

The terms also protected the event’s third-party ticket providers.

“In addition to any rights granted pursuant to the applicable Third-Party Ticketing Service terms and conditions, you understand that our Third-Party Ticketing Services are entitled to retain all fees collected for the services that they perform in taking orders and delivering Tickets, including shipping, handling and service charges, regardless of whether an event is rescheduled or canceled.”

The terms of service of course also has an “Indemnification” section.

“To the extent permitted under applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless FYRE and FYRE Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, employees, directors, service providers, licensors, partners, and agents (collectively, the “FYRE Indemnified Parties”), from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind, and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, your use of any Third-Party Service, any User Content, your connection to the Service, your violation of these Terms of Service, or your violation of any rights of another.”

The terms also made sure to keep the event’s expectations exceedingly low.

“‍NO FYRE PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY THAT (A) THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; (B) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; (C) THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE; OR (D) THE QUALITY OF ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, TICKETS, INFORMATION, OR OTHER MATERIAL PURCHASED OR OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH THE SERVICE OR ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS.”

DISASTER IN PARADISE

Setting the bar so low for Fyre 2 wouldn’t come as such a shock to anyone who watched the first festival unfurl.

The inaugural Fyre Festival remains one of the most infamous event disasters in history.

Attendees were left devastated after spending tens of thousands of dollars to attend, only to arrive to an island lacking food, water, and accommodation- not to mention the musical acts all pulled out at the last minute.

The debacle was magnified by social media, with disgruntled influencers sharing their outrage after stepping onto Great Exuma expecting the party of a lifetime.

Instead of the promised luxury villas, festival-goers were greeted by FEMA tents.

Enticed by the allure of world-class cuisine, ticket holders found themselves served cold cheese sandwiches in foam containers.

Despite the spectacular failure, Billy exclusively told The U.S. Sun in an interview last year that he has his reasons for attempting the event a second time.

Billy said: “This is the most tangible way to repay the $26 million that I owe, and having real partners gives an opportunity in the next five to seven years, to actually pay back that $26 million.”

“And unfortunately, no one’s offering me $26 million to work somewhere else.”

The convicted felon, who faced charges for misleading his investors, went on to say he is taking full advantage of his notoriety.

“We are literally the most talked about music festival in the world. We’ve had three times as many mentioned this Coachella, which is in second place and there’s a huge drop-off after that.

“It’s an incredible opportunity to steer that ship into the storm and embrace everything that’s happened.”

Ever hopeful, he added: “And if Fyre two goes well, the brand recognition of Fyre as a media company, as a travel company as an entertainment brand is massive and can make right a lot of the wrongs they did before.”

While the 33-year-old seems optimistic about his renewed Fyre Fest endeavor, it’s anyone’s guess what guests will get for the astronomical ticket prices.
