A celebrity-sponsored luxury music festival in the Bahamas has been called a "scam" after ticket-holders were reportedly left stranded.
Co-organised by rapper Ja Rule and promoted by models Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski and Hailey Baldwin, the Fyre Festival sold tickets costing up to $12,000 (£9,200) for two weekends of "music, art and food".
Tickets included a flight to a private island in the Bahamas district of the Exumas and VIP treatment with live bands, gourmet food and outdoor activities.
Instead, there were numerous reports of flights cancelled, ticket-holders stranded, no tents to sleep in and a dinner consisting of a cheese sandwich with a side salad.
"So Fyre Fest is a complete disaster. Mass chaos. No organisation. No one knows where to go. There are no villas, just a disaster tent city," festival goer William Finley wrote, sharing photos of the event.
