Hey, thanks for the replies. So looks like it's not worth it then. $400 is kinda steep for Ultra alone, especially when there are so many other events happening during WMC.

So any word if Ultra moved ?

Originally posted by bigsnail i got VIP at ultra 2006. for me and my g/f after tax and fee's it came out to $666. biggest waste of money ive ever spent at any music event in my life. they said they had hottubs and stuff..nope. the "vip stage" when i went was behind the 2nd main stage, so most people didnt even know where it was, there were probably 30 people at that stage when i strolled through there. ntm, the vip staff were some of the rudest ive ever encountered in miami. the vip bathroom was a little trailer thing w/ 4 restrooms in it that were all fucking disgusting. free starbucks...they came through on that, sortta....they had hot chocolate and some other hot drink in paper shot glasses...so thanks for holding up your word on one thing. the vip viewing area was a joke. it was half way between the 2 main stages...you couldnt make out what was being played at either stage....retarded. we were suppose to get a bag w/ a dvd and ultra tshirt...nope, got there at 430 and they were all gone, imagine that. vip lets you skip the line, it didnt for us. i also thought we were suppose to get drinks (for $666 they could at least let the vips drink free like they do at giant maximus, tao, and other festival i've attened) for free....nope....beers were like $8....but, i could be wrong about the free part, i cant remember. long story short, dont get VIP. sorry for the long rant, just my .02

i had vip at ultra 5 (thankfully it was free) and it was just as much of a joke. got in quick no problem. went into the special vip area and you had to buy a table to even sit down in there. a grand right there. there was nothing and i mean nothing free. and well yea, that was about it.

Instead of spending the money on VIP it's always better to spend that money on the other events going on that week and see your fav djs

I bought vip for Ultra 07 the worst choice I
ever made !

Fuck every year it gets more expensive. I hate those damn fees you have to pay for Ultra tix.

I made a decsion on Miami it looks like I can't
make it this yr The Economy suck and I can't
afford hotel,air fare and Tickets for the shows .
This kills me really bad I blame Bush and the
Economy



Fuck Bush and the Economy

Hotels and organizers still charging high prices, like nothing happened.
Exchange rate sucks too. I could've saved close to $800, if i went this year.
That brings up a question: Does anyone think WMC attendance will be lower this year?

True statement

However, thankfully there are always credit cards and 0% no fee balance transfers. I probably shouldn't go to WMC, however I am taking the bar exam in February and need to blow off some steam in March. I'm confident I'll pay it back...eventually...

Yes I'm guessing WMC attendance will be very low this year... DJ's included. But I still think we'll still see a lot of non-Americans flying in because the dollar is still fairly cheap. A few club owners who use WMC to break even are in for a world of hurt this year. Then again, everyone is hurting this year.

Just my theory anyway.

hi people,
i don't think i'm making the trip back to the US for WMC this year (but you never know) BUT i'll be in so-florida from this friday til the end of the year visiting my parents so if anyone wants to go out let me know and I think i'm having a pre-party in my hotel suite in south beach this saturday night so PM me if you are interested in coming

Suite party oi oi oi

Thank you all for the words of wisdom on the vip tickets.I'm defiantly going regular,and I'll save the money and spend it on party favors!!! Woo

I sit and ask myself the same questions some of you ask yourself about finances.

I am not broke by any means, but is it worth it to you know...spend this sort of money on a trip. I look at some of the costs and they astonish me. To pay $100 to see Tiesto for example.

I am not going to just be "nickle and dimed" the entire time, but clubs will have outlandish fees, and instead of nickle and dimes its 50 dollars here, $100 there, and I am not even drinking yet.

Then I think well lets say I take mushrooms or acid at WMC...everyday. How much would I enjoy standing in a venue like this

or this

I want to get a "Sensation" like experience with total mind blowing visuals.

And it looks like I have to visit some clubs down there to get that, and the costs...well they scare off a potential WMC patron or two.

I look at how cheap it is to just go to Chicago (3 hour drive) and see top notch talent for well...sort of cheap. But you do get lots of quality and quantity here at WMC.

But am I going to be paying more then $30 to see big acts? Armin, Deadmau5, Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, and the alike?

Standing in a field just doesn't work for me and dance music, besides the fact I get maybe 3 feet of personal space to dance like a retard.

average price of a good party is $25. Last year Deadmau5 was $10... lots of free parties as well.

if you need to see big acts yea you're going to pay more than $30. something like armin or pvd in a club is gonna run at least $60 to over $100. but by no means are all of the good parties expensive. some of the best WMC parties to me have been the cheap ones that aren't hyped but just have a totally chill atmosphere with some DJ you wouldn't ordinarily see. I agree with that, I wouldn't bother with ultra at all that's not my idea of fun.

Gawd...I'm with you man! I should've waited, but I didnt.

Armada party tickets have actually started at about 30-35 the past 2 years...cheaper before that

dont forget $20 armin at pawnshop tix

That's true, if you watch like a hawk and buy one of the first tickets, you can potentially get better deals. I am only speaking for the procrastinators who don't even know if they're going to WMC until March and are still buying tickets the night before they fly out :P
