Billy McFarland's Fyre Festival 2 Ticket Priced at $1M Called a PR Stunt by Associate.
Billy McFarland is making a comeback with Fyre Festival 2, despite the fact that the first event landed him behind bars. Even people who used to support him are now speaking out against the outrageous ticket prices and cautioning potential attendees not to be misled.
Originally announced in 2023 and then canceled, the second festival seems to be back on track, as confirmed earlier this year. Billy is looking to cash in big time with the premium ticket sales.
The 2025 Fyre Festival is not only led by McFarland but also managed by a different festival operator who will handle accommodations, ticket sales, and travel logistics. The event is set to take place from May 30 to June 2 on Isla Mujeres in the Caribbean.
What’s really shocking isn’t just that Fyre Festival 2 is happening after the disastrous first attempt, but also the outrageous ticket prices being charged.
There are 2,000 tickets up for grabs on the festival’s official site, with prices ranging from $1,400 to an eye-popping $1.1 million. Initially, there were 100 cheaper tickets available for $500, but those sold out quickly. Now, only four ticket options remain: Fyre Ignite ($1,400), Fyre Fuego ($5,000), Fyre Phoenix ($25,000), and Prometheus God Of Fire ($1,100,000).
The $1,400 ticket gives you access to the festival but doesn’t include a place to stay. In contrast, the million-dollar ticket covers entry for eight people and comes with perks like a 24/7 chauffeur, flights, accommodations, and either a private villa or yacht.

According to the official website, those with the million-dollar tickets will also enjoy “on-stage access to the Water Stage, fight team access at the Fight Pit, a curated itinerary of FYRE Experiences, 24/7 private chauffeur service, a dedicated on-site concierge, and access to the PROMETHEUS Marina.”
Ad executive JD Beebe, who used to work with McFarland, recently chatted with The US Sun and had a serious message for anyone thinking about buying tickets. He argued that the prices aren't justified and described the festival's promotion as a clever marketing ploy.
"Think about how great of a headline it is to write that someone bought not even a $1 million ticket, but $1.1 million which is an atypical number," Beebe said.
"If he's anything, he is an absolute PR genius. The fact that we're still sitting here talking about him however many years later and I haven't worked with this guy for 10 years, and I'm still here, and he's a genius in that regard. I will give him that,” he continued.
He further hinted that the million-dollar ticket might be a fabrication, possibly just a tactic to create buzz around the contentious festival. "There is no Prometheus ticket, nobody bought it, nobody bought a second one. There's no way to check this, and that's why this is great," Beebe added.
Billy McFarland's Fyre Festival 2 seems destined to be just as much of a disaster as the first. His past lies, deception, and manipulation led to countless people being swindled out of their money, and now he's attempting to do it all over again.
With outrageous ticket prices and promises that are almost impossible to fulfill, McFarland is clearly more focused on making headlines than delivering a legitimate experience. His track record speaks for itself—this festival will likely end in chaos, and those who fall for it will only have themselves to blame for trusting a man like McFarland.
