Either this year or the next, i HAVE to make it out to miami for ultra music fest. I'm 20 years old and turn 21 this april (so i'd be underage if i went this year). Some things i'd like to know is...

1. Should i go this year as an underage?

2. Is it worth it to get vip tickets, and what are the benefits of vip?

3. Should i go with friends that "like electronica" but might not want to go both days, or even for an entire day?

4. Can you leave and come back in the same day?

5. Where are the best after parties?

6. What is the security like as far as getting searched is concerned?

7. When do tickets go on sale and how long does it take for them to sell out (vip and general admission)

Any tips not related to these questions would also be appreciated, thanks!

First. there is a WMC sub forum located just above this thread, this will probably be moved there soon

1. Should i go this year as an underage?
Yes, everyone must go to ultra once to get it out of their system. Next year just go to all of the clubs. Keep in mind there might be only one or two events outside of ultra you can go to not being 21

2. Is it worth it to get vip tickets, and what are the benefits of vip?
no

3. Should i go with friends that "like electronica" but might not want to go both days, or even for an entire day?
tell them they are going to have to leave early with a taxi to go back to the hotel, kudos for calling it electronica and not techno though

4. Can you leave and come back in the same day?
no, not without re-paying

5. Where are the best after parties?
the only one you might be able to go to is the ultra after party because of age

6. What is the security like as far as getting searched is concerned?
dont be dumb, you should treat every event like the cops are going to be standing right next to you. For gods sake just go and have fun

7. When do tickets go on sale and how long does it take for them to sell out (vip and general admission)
www.ultramusicfestival.us

they are on sale now and have been for a couple months

Good luck with these questions.

as far as being searched - I have seen lots of different ways. It depends on how busy it is, what you look like, and what the person you go to is dealing with at that moment. I have been patted down intensely and emptied my pockets; I have been simply asked if I had any weapons and when I said no I was let in. It all depends. Just don't be dumb. Don't walk up acting like an idiot, screaming and carrying on.

RTFB Rolf but yea don't be dumb man,I mean it's fun to have your own party favors and all but don't go with the mindset of slingin' and making a bit of spending money because BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING.

Make as many connects as possible and for gods sake GET YOUR FUCKIN' TICKETS! The longer you wait the more expensive they become.

Oh and as someone who's been to two Ultras as an underager I'd suggest finding some of your favorite artists smaller scale shows for those are usually 18 and up.

I'm gonna be 21;can't wait to hit Miami!!!

Good Luck

Be prepare to get sunburned, dehydrated , Dirty or wet (if it rains).
Long lines to get drinks and the restrooms

Good Advice

I am heavily debating if I should do Ultra this yr since this is finally my first WMC where I am 21. I might do first day to see Loco Dice Vs Luciano and Swedish House Mafia. Leave early to change than hit up PVD @ Space.

If you have never been though I highly recommend experiencing this once at least!
