Honestly I hope so. Imagine those tickets going up, you thinking "oh fyre festival, what's that? That sounds fun" then looking it up, then buying tickets.

Anyone that wants to go be around that deserves to get got. Zero sympathy.

At this point, I expect most tickets holder are influencers trying to cash in on a reaction video.

Even better.

It's like influencers entering a train about to crash because they know people can't look away from a train wreck and thus they'll get views.

This is why, as mentioned above:

The most "successful" social media accounts are always the shittiest.

It's just like that Morcheeba song, everybody loves a loser.
