The internet is having trouble feeling sorry for the folks at Fyre Festival
To hear the event organizers tell it: "Things got off to an unexpected start at day one of Fyre Festival."
To hear anyone actually at the festival tell is: This thing is a rich Instagram model's nightmare.

Fyre Festival, co-organized by Ja Rule, was meant to be a luxurious weekend getaway in the Bahamas' Exhumas' islands. Most tickets — which ran between $450 and more than $12,000 — included complimentary flights, fine dining, and private accommodations.
But as attendees arrived Thursday, it became clear that the event organizers were in over their heads. After reports of mass disorganization, the event's been since postponed and angry attendees are struggling to get back to the U.S.
But despite the rough dispatches, the internet is having a tough time feeling sorry for all the stranded rich kids:
