Fyre Fest Brand Sold at Surprising Price After Ebay Bidding Wars
By Chad Childers, LoudWire
The Fyre Festival brand has sold for a surprising $245,300 after founder Billy McFarland turned to the online bidding site eBay to solicit bids for the festival’s IP, trademarks and social media assets.
McFarland still reportedly owes over $26 million in restitution, per Rolling Stone, after the failings of the original Fyre Fest in 2017.
The original Fyre Fest became the stuff of festival disaster legend. After being teased by social media influences and models, the booked bands started backing out in the days leading up to the event.
Promised concerts never happened, those who did travel to the event received inadequate accommodations, subpar catering and witnessed a lack of infrastructure. And one of the lasting images of the festival’s failure was that of a cheese sandwich that was shared by one attendee on social media.
