So funny to see the reactions of the rich people when they arrive and see the shitty tents they're supposed to sleep in.

Apparently, this is a big misconception.

The first groups to come paid around $200. Which is actually really cheap for a music festival and a place to stay (if it would have worked out).

Similar type of tent package for Tomorrowland costs €1,400. It includes flight tickets (at least in Europe) too though.

As well as an actual festival.

Eh, they spent 200 for the ticket, then hundreds more for travel, and who knows how much they put into the cashless currency system.

I don't know that they were rich, but they weren't poor.

That doesn't make them rich.

People budget, it doesn't make them wealthy to afford a trip for $500. Dirt poor? Probably not. But rich? No. Not based off of $500. Lol.

Edit: and that's a lot of assumptions you made. Lol.

The best part is they knew about sleeping in tents, and some were miffed that they had tents to sleep in.

Like, I understand they were billed as luxury tents, but…a tent is a tent is a tent.

But… according to most documentary evidence, tents, luxury or not, were not all set up and created a free for all in securing your domicile. That’s the whole point of how fucked up things became. Lord of the flies type shit.

I’ve done glamping at a music fest before and those tents get pretty fancy. Most are very spacious geodesic domes, have very comfortable beds, chargers, side tables, and usually are in a separate area with premium food and drink vendors.
