Taylor Swift fans compare $500 Eras Tour event to failed Fyre Festival after organizer bought 191 hotel rooms

After a Taylor Swift super fan went viral for booking 191 hotel rooms in New Orleans, Louisiana, before her Eras Tour stop, Swifties are speaking out about their experience, with some comparing it to the failed music festival Fyre Fest.

Rebecca Fox was asking for a $25 deposit in addition to nearly $500 for hotel rooms when the Eras Tour concerts were held at Caesars Superdome on October 25, 26 and 27.

She said she paid nearly $500 per reservation for 191 rooms at the Holiday Inn on Loyola Avenue in late 2023 and said she wasn’t charging, just wanted to hang out with “sharing Swifties.” the same ideas.”

Guests were promised a Taylor-themed goody bag, as well as a pool party with DJ and cocktails, scavenger hunts, a talent show, karaoke night, friendship bracelet making and a swamp tour. But Swifties were left furious, claiming she failed to deliver and was essentially charging them for the hotel’s free amenities.

Rebecca has since responded to criticism of the event, admitting to DailyMail.com that “things didn’t go as planned but there was no bad intention”.

The Holiday Inn on Loyola costs $137 per night for the weekend of November 22 and is a three-star hotel located near the Superdome, where the Shake It Off singer performed.

Rebecca was in charge of a private Facebook group of fans staying at the hotel, which was renamed Holiday House in homage to the popstar’s Rhode Island mansion.

A content creator in the United States, under the username jump4js, did a five-part series about her experience and explained that she was one of the first 50 people in the Holiday House group after initially being on the list of waiting for one of the rooms.

Many commenters said they wanted to book a room with her, but could only do so if they spent extra money on the events she hosted, on top of the $500 to reserve the room .

“She was threatening to kick people out of the group, she was threatening to cancel their hotel rooms,” jump4js explained if people wanted to attend outdoor events in the city.

She sent a friend of a friend in her place and Rebecca ended up getting upset.

The creator then shared a screenshot of the Facebook group which showed Rebecca saying that if they could no longer attend, their room could only be refunded if they sold their concert ticket to her.

‘I don’t understand, how is an Eras ticket worth the same as a hotel room?! There’s no way! Who would trust that and give him the tickets?!’ one woman asked, as Eras tickets in New Orleans were selling for more than $1,200 for the cheapest seat and hotel rooms were $500, leaving commenters deeply confused.

Other creators shared how unhappy they were with the events, saying the $75 pool party, billed as an experience

Other creators shared how unhappy they were with the events, saying the $75 pool party, billed as an “unforgettable” experience, ended up only having two bartenders.

“What do concert tickets have to do with hotel room?” Like, she thought people would just sell her their tickets? I’m so confused,” asked another.

One commenter said: “I believe she said at one point (fairly recently) that if she didn’t get her quota she would have to sell the tickets to pay for the HH events. She had quite a few tickets in different sections.

In a text message to the media Fox 8Rebecca said she had retained a lawyer who was overseas.

Contacted by DailyMail.com, Rebecca replied: “My lawyer has advised me not to make an official statement until he returns.

“But I think everyone can see that everyone got their room and everyone was safe and tell me to kill myself or get help for a missing DJ and an unfilled goodie bag is absolutely incredible.” Things didn’t go as planned, but there was no bad intention.

According to Fox 8, she also posted on Facebook: “I know I failed. I admitted that I had failed.

Other creators also expressed their displeasure with the events, which they paid as an additional fee on top of the $500 room charge.

A TikTok creator showed texts saying the $75 pool party, billed as an “unforgettable” experience, with past starters, a cash bar and a DJS, ended with just two bartenders, no music, no towels and no place to change. .

“So basically she was charging people to use the FREE hotel amenities? and I added some appetizers,” one commenter responded to the empty pool photo.

Paige Bennett-Primkewho is based in New Orleans, talked about the immersive photo experience she participated in that Rebecca organized, and said she wanted to purchase a ticket at the gate to join friends.

Hotel guests who had already paid the $500 fee could pay a separate fee to attend the experience, where they could take photos and purchase items from vendors, and foreigners who were not staying at the block of rooms could also pay for the experience.

When Paige went to the event at the hotel, she realized that no one was checking tickets, so anyone could get in, which was discouraging for the people who had purchased tickets.

Paige called the photo experience “really disappointing” and said that while there were good hair, glitter and jewelry vendors, the photos “left a lot to be desired.”

One commenter wrote: “Unfortunately this has been going on for weeks and now here we are. I hope she pays everything back and makes things right.
