Four years on from the disastrous Fyre Festival, ticket holders will now receive $7,220 (£5,240) each after a $2million settlement between organisers and 227 ticket holders was reached on Tuesday.
The ticket holders paid between $1,000 and $12,000 to attend the event that was billed as the most luxurious music festival, but in reality festival goers turned up to a “building” site and were offered cheese on a piece of bread.
Organiser Billy McFarland, who was sentenced to six years in jail in 2018, said he was “committed to, and working actively to, find a way to make this right.”
The eventual payout to ticket holders could be lower as the lawsuit ruling is still subject to a vote of approval and other lawsuits the organisers are facing.
