Doomed music event Fyre Festival is getting a reboot – with tickets for the second attempt on sale now for $499 (about €460).

The original festival, organised by Billy McFarland, was scheduled to take place in the Bahamas in 2017 but caused more than 26 million dollars (€24 million) in losses when it was cancelled for inadequate accommodation, food and water.
