  • UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT of NEW YORK ------X in RE: FYRE FESTIVAL LITIGATION 17-Cv-3296 (PKC)
    Case 1:17-cv-03296-PKC Document 90 Filed 07/10/19 Page 1 of 32 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK -----------------------------------------------------------x IN RE: FYRE FESTIVAL LITIGATION 17-cv-3296 (PKC) OPINION AND ORDER -----------------------------------------------------------x CASTEL, U.S.D.J. The Fyre Festival was promoted as a luxury music event to take place in the Bahamas on two consecutive weekends in April 2017. The event was cancelled on the morning of the first day, leaving some guests stranded without transportation or suitable accommodations. This Opinion and Order does not address whether Fyre Media, Inc. (“Fyre Media”) breached its contractual commitments to guests or whether it perpetrated a fraud on anyone. The issue on the pending motions is whether plaintiffs have stated claims for relief against two individuals affiliated with Fyre Media and the Fyre Festival, defendants Jeffrey Atkins, known as Ja-Rule, and Grant Margolin. Plaintiffs Daniel Jung, Lauren Mainero, Matthew Herlihy, Anthony Lauriello, Ritu Jutla, Hallie Wilson, and Zenovia Pittas bring this diversity action alleging theories of fraud, negligent misrepresentation, negligence, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and related claims, as well as state statutory claims under the laws of New York, N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 349, California, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17200 et seq., 17500 et seq., Cal. Civil Code § 1750 et seq., Colorado, Col. Rev. Stat. § 6-1-102(6) et seq., and Illinois, Ill. Comp.

  • Exploring the Effects of Operating Procedures on Occupational Stress and Performance Outcomes in Temporary Organizations
    i PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO: EXPLORING THE EFFECTS OF OPERATING PROCEDURES ON OCCUPATIONAL STRESS AND PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES IN TEMPORARY ORGANIZATIONS A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Business Administration by David C. F. Williamson Temple University, Fox School of Business August 2018 Review Committee: David Schuff, Advisory Chair, Department of Management Information Systems Lynne Andersson, Human Resources Management TL Hill, Strategic Management ii ABSTRACT Music festivals have become big business, bringing in $8.79B in global revenue in 2017, and continuing to grow with projected 2022 revenues of $13.7B. However, these events still function mostly as “temporary organizations,” with employees coming together for the distinct period of time that the event takes place in and fulfilling the tasks that need to be accomplished for the production to be successful. The process of festival production can be stressful, requiring the implementation of operating procedures and other guidelines to ensure that employees produce an optimal guest experience. Through a grounded theory study of managers and employees at three different music festivals and an historic case study, this work seeks to understand how operating procedures impact workers in temporary organizations. The results reveal a relationship between operating procedures and employee stress as well as guest experiences that suggest the more an organization is able to communicate procedures the less likely employees are to suffer stress. In addition, analysis unveiled the presence of “compensation anxiety” among festival employees as an occupational stressor not traditionally considered in the occupational stress or temporary organization literatures.

Hyped as “the cultural experience of the decade,” Fyre Festival was to be held in the Bahamas over two weekends in April and May featuring artists like Migos and Lil Yachty. But the festival proved to be a flop when attendees, some of whom paid thousands of dollars, arrived at the private party venue only to find a half-built festival ground, bad food and canceled musical acts.
