~$250 for 3 day passes, i've got a feeling by june price is higher. or perhaps they will pull a circus move and lower rates as date approaches? who knows, since im not in the business.

now if only they would release a lineup of non recycled international headliners, local openers and national midcarders before spring is over

heh, get real :P

i got tickets tho. getting old now, and unlike last year i dont have to pick one or the other (coachella).

in any case, I have friends who are coming that I havent seen since HS. I'm not expecting a stellar lineup, at all. Am preparing for the general insomniac-shitfest, though

i have a pet baboon!

i didnt pay to go in 2011, and the only way ill go again is if i dont pay

not buying tickets til i see a dedicated deep house/tech house stage.... although if they actually end up having one, tickets will probably be sold out by that time.

Trite is the best way to describe Insomniac's lineups. Their riding this MTV style LMFAO music wave.

As for techno... I know the Insomniac talent buyer has been steadily trying to keep techno artists in the loop at all the massives and one off events. I wouldn't doubt it, if they get a couple good acts in there. Whether or not a couple of good acts is worth the price of admission, hotel, blah blah blah is another story.

You are correct, more stages = more techno acts. Some of the acts that I know that they are in talks with are repeats, which shouldn't be anything new just by looking at the line ups from the past few years.

I was on an artist guest list all 3 different days last year, and I still didn't go. I probably won't ask them again this year because I probably won't end up going again anyways.

The appeal of massives to me keeps on diminishing year after year...

As much as we all know me and Deadmau5 get along, I have to give it up to him and his 12min rant on massives. He hit the nail on the head and had several good points on why massives are a joke.

It's been deleted.

Seems like the mau5 has rescinded his rant...

"Deadmau5 caused controversy recently with a YouTube clip ranting against the annual electronic Ultra Music Festival held in Miami while seeming to later blame his outburst on 'severe depression.'"
