is this right..

so a friend of mine has been bragging for a little while now that his dad got him a early birthday present (two ticks to the ultra music fest). He decided to take his gf which is cool wit me cus he still hasnt gotten it in with her yet. (hes hopin it might happen in miami). Today he told me how much his dad paid for the ticks...$4400 for a 3 day vip pass.....i kinda thought wtf is that right..i didnt say anythin cus i dont wanna ruin his weekend , but is that really how much festival ticks are runnin for now? Granted he did get them off ebay...

Mega ripped off.

MEGA.

I'm Australian, and even I know that.

Did his dad even get the tickets yet?

Posted by LoveHate on Mar-02-2011 08:52:

yeah, but he still needs to find a hotel to stay in, i tried sort of explaning it to him that, the price is redicilous, and he brushed it off saying next year he will try to get the early birds. I was really worried, cus his dad is a blue collard guy to begin with, but my friend is to excited over the fact he might meet deadmau5 or whoever that he doesnt care.

$4400? Surely the decimal is in the wrong place. Pinkdiculous.

Tell your friend's dad he's fucking retarded.

hahaha, 4400 just to ultra, really? i'd take that money and vacation somewhere nice with no worries on my mind for a while and just relax, some where tropical and low key. what a bad decision for a birthday present, i feel angry the kid even allowed his dad to spend that much just to listen to music. spend it on a real experience

Even funnier

The tickets alone aren't worth that much, IMO. Add hotels on top of that, whaaaaat. Everything will be pricey in Miami during WMC. Possibly more so this year, since all the good parties seem to be happening in UMF week, rather than the conference week.

But what the fuck do I know?

Oh wait, I know it sucks to be your friend's dad

his girlfriend's not gonna give it up, either

Booth passes? VIP to every event for the week? Only way I could see that.

Posted by tubularbills on Mar-02-2011 15:12:

WMC should cost no more than $2k

Thissssssssss

fucking hotels jacking their rates to sickening levels during that week. So inconvenient.

Posted by igottaknow on Mar-03-2011 00:06:

you don't drop 4k on vip passes unless your rich. which sounds like the case here. so I don't think he'd really care if you told him he got ripped. like telling Charlie Sheen he over paid for his crack.

Seeing as how Ultra tickets sold out within hours of going on sale, you're going to pay whatever scalpers want you to pay. Congrats to the guy that sold those tickets, that's like a 500% return lol

one, his father got ripped off and
two, his father got ripped off.

Tell your friend to have a great time

Biggest waste of money ever.

what a fucking loser, dad helping his son get laid by spending $4400, which most likely not going to help.

Are you expressing disapproval to a business' prerogative to set its own prices?

Posted by enydo on Mar-04-2011 15:30:

Yeah maybe they should be controlled... by... the.... GOVERNMENT.
