Which is exactly why they are going to blow #'s out of proportion to find another place to do it. BayFront, the beach again...

I will only believe the numbers I see of how many tickets were actually sold, then take into account of how many walk-ins, then badge holders.

You might be right they had 100,000 people there in the weekend, but it just didn't seem that busy to me.

I agree,

i dont know what some of u were seeing....but saturday night was busier than i ever seen Ultra.....more people than ever....i would guess at least 75k that night......and ive been to plenty of HUGE festivals that were 30K people that totally dwarfed this event

bayfront has changed policy and will not allow festivals of over 25k to take place on its grounds, thus the move over to bicentennial. and i highly doubt, better yet pray, that a festival of such proportions be held on the beach. that spells disaster for the city, community, and not to mention a nightmare for police.

im not out to burst anyones bubble but as of right now i cant think of a viable option(in or around miami) to hold ultra next year.

and if any of you went to Bang! 2006... the OFFICAL numbers were 30k ppl and you cant logically say that bang and ultra brought in the same amount of ppl. stages would literally CLEAR out at different times cause tiesto or daft punk or duran duran were playing at the time. where as ultra had all stages packed at any given time.

especially saturday!!!

Ok, so there were 100k there for ultra. But how many of those underage kids go other places and are there for the WMC and not just the all ages ultra show? Should you count them?

if u were conting every event........total number of people....not including people that go from party to party...i would think the total number of people attending would be somewhere around 125K

a large number of people only go to Ultra; a large number of people don't go to Ultra and only do parties.

Yes, there were less people overall but I thought it had a great feel around town. Wednesday night I noticed that there was no one in town. The economy is really bad right now and it all adds up. It cost me over $100 in gas to drive down and back from St. Pete.

There are more and more people going down for WMC that do not attend Ultra itself. And it'll keep going up..

There was prolly 100k people in miami that normally would not be there, that were there for WMC. 100k is prolly a very close figure honestly.
