WMC/Ultra Music Festival...learn me! Posted on: 10.12.2011 by Aundrea Lenore Ok so I've been dying to go to this shit for the last few year and this year I'm making it happen. WMC is March 15-26. Ultra is the 23-25th. I'm planning on going 22-25th. My question is....is Ultra worth going to? Or will I be entertainined by only going to WMC? I don't really know how it works. 3 day Ultra passes are $300 and I've heard they sell out, so I want to be on top of things. I'm almost positive I have a free place to crash, but if not I plan on getting a shitty hotel, so any suggestions would be helpful. I know some people have had to gone so any tips, advice, is greatly appreciated. Also...I've never partied in Miami. Should be a good one.

Anyone can become a writer and submit a blog article so if you send them a blog post proposal about doing an Ultra 2011 article you could probably get a press pass and there is a good chance they would let you do it especially since you've done it before.... http://www.djranking s.com/about/writers/ You would get paid a few bucks too. I'll look into that and write something up this weekend. Unfortunately, the closest thing I have to tear sheets for concert photography went down with DJF. I don't believe I saved screencaps (though I trust my backups and should still have all the photos from last year). I certainly wouldn't mind shooting all of WMC and UMF as long as I got some choice in going to the acts that I really wanted to see

Halley Wurzer 20.12.2011	Originally Posted by Xonetacular They're more likely to just sell out. Anyone remember when they sold out last year? Once the lineup gets announced I don't expect them to last much longer than a day or two after that. "ULTRA 2012 Is Almost Completely Sold Out.... There are an extremely limited amount of tickets remaining.... ULTRA Has Sold Out The Last Two Years And Will Sell Out Again... Due to the EXTREMELY LIMITED SUPPLY OF AVAILABLE TICKETS we have decided to release our line up a bit different this year. We're about to drop the largest Phase One Line Up in Ultra Music Festival history! We have a new venue, new artists, new stages and many more surprises lined up for 2012! PHASE ONE IS COMING SOMETIME WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK!!! Stay Connected
Romelia Stankard 20.12.2011	Originally Posted by DJ SB Shit. I hope they don't go up anytime soon. They're more likely to just sell out. Anyone remember when they sold out last year?

Halley Wurzer 20.12.2011	Originally Posted by Xonetacular I just got Ultra tickets. $70 dollar 'service charge' came to $370 a ticket. Shit. I hope they don't go up anytime soon.
Romelia Stankard 25.12.2011	Yeah I'm hoping they announce some more stuff in phase 2, I was a little dissapointed myself. I was kinda hoping for Plastikman Live and there were rumors about daft punk but I kind of knew that wouldn't happen. I mean I couldn't really care less about the 'headliners' but there is enough good stuff mixed in there. Not that I want to see him, but I'm surprised deadmau5 isn't on there yet.
Dorie Scelzo 25.12.2011	Yeah
Romelia Stankard 24.12.2011	phase 1 announced. More coming, tickets are going to be gone in a couples days max I'm sure. Part 1 of ultra lineup announced

Audrey Pinda 20.12.2011	I always wear my camelback to outdoor festivals like that. Just something that I've been doing for years now. It's also great for having a backpack to store random crap. I usually get it in full with ice,and they never give you shit about bringing ice in your camelback, since they don't sell ice. 3 liter version, and I usually only have to fill it up once or twice during the day. But, I generally need to keep myself well hydrated beyond normal means. But you can't bring it into most of the clubs/afterparties. Basically, Miami is expensive. But if you can do it, DO IT. It's totally something everyone should experience if they can. Packed or not. I liked 09 the best, 10 was a little crowded for me. Don't believe I'll do Ultra again anytime soon because I plan on checking out some other big festivals. But it's one of those life experiences that myself and my friends still talk about with glee to this day.

Kesha Pietrak 12.12.2011	as said before if you have the money go, totally worth it. But remember you also have to pay for water there or sneak it in or something so you dont get dehydrated and well end up missing ultra because of it which would suck. And water is expensive $5 a bottle and so is food, which is why I usually eat a huge breakfast and lunch and skip dinner and pig out once I get back at home
Albertina Fay 13.12.2011	I'm from Miami. I live like 3 blocks away from they have held they last several ULTRA events. During WMC week, there are a lot of places (pool parties) that have no cover charge. If you plan ahead and play it smart, you can def go to a few events and spend no money on admission. (Drinks and food are a different story.) The events held at evening in clubs are the ones that you will need to buy tickets and spend some more coin on. Regarding ULTRA, if you have never been, it's definitely worth going to, for one day at least. (but you will want to go the second or third too. do it if you can afford it). Expect a SHIT-LOAD of people.
Dorie Scelzo 12.12.2011	Originally Posted by Bassline Brine This year I had a couple friends go and I couldn't because of finances/time-off. They said Ultra itself was fucking packed and a half, and you couldn't walk around easily from stage to stage, which killed a lot of the fun for them.
Audrey Pinda 12.12.2011	I've been to Ultra twice. 2009 and 2010. The first time we flew down on Thursday and then did The World of Drum and Bass afterparty, which was awesome. Then had Ultra on Friday, then Future Sound of Breaks that evening . Then Saturday was Ultra, and then we did some random club which Kruder and Dorfmeister didn't show at, and it was a shitty evening . Second time I drove down. 24 hour straight drive with some friends. We ended up going down to key west first for a few days, and just getting drunk on the beach. We then went up for the thursday evening show, and then did ultra/afterparties through saturday evening . It was a great week, probably one of the best of my life. Then drove back up. I consider it as a complete investment though. You need to bring like $1000 down with you (hotel/travel/booze/drugs if you don't bring your own) and then you'll be okay. If you want to pinch pennies, Miami is not the city to party in. I will highly recommend The World of Drum and Bass and Future Sound of Breaks afterparties. I believe Metalheadz throws one as well, and it's solid too. (If you're into the dnb/dubstep/breaks business). All in all, it's an experience I really enjoyed. This year I had a couple friends go and I couldn't because of finances/time-off. They said Ultra itself was fucking packed and a half, and you couldn't walk around easily from stage to stage, which killed a lot of the fun for them. It's a good experience, but take it with a grain of salt if it's as packed as it was last year from what I hear. My buddies wanted to see some stuff on the Dubstep stage, and couldn't get any closer than the house tent.
Romelia Stankard 12.12.2011	Originally Posted by mostapha According to the WMC website, the bade gets you complimentary or reduced admission to any of the official events, plus a lot of the trade/industry-show stuff. I'm believeing it's probably worth it, but I don't know. Yeah if I lived in miami or was there for the whole time I would definitely get the badge. Realistically though I'm driving back and forth so will just try to pick out some of the major events I want to see and take a day off work for Ultra.

Kesha Pietrak 11.12.2011	ive gone a few times already and let me tell you it is awesome. Tickets were really expensive this year but I got them early on so I got them for the cheapest price. Dont know what the current price is but I know its a good amount higher than 300
Ninfa Larranaga 10.12.2011	every year i say i will go to these, and every year SOMETHING comes in between
