Originally posted by Pantone199c I always try to buy early bird, that way if the line-up ends up not being that awesome I can just sell mine off and make some cash. If the lineup is good then I only spent $200. So either way it's win/win for me. P.S. Here's the ASOT 650 lineup: Armin, W&W, Ferry Corsten, ATB, Cosmic Gate, and the rest of the same lineup we've had for years. Fuck...

For what? The ASOT 650 lineup? It was a joke, the lineup has been pretty similar the past few years. Either way it sucks, I'd like to see some of the 138 guys this year but I know that won't happen at Ultra.

Yeah, I feel you. The two parties at WMC this year that had trance were the Pure Trance party and The John O'Callaghan and Friends party at Space. Unfortunately both parties were on the same night.

This ^^

Another thing to consider is Ultra wont be able to get a vote from the city of Miami for the second weekend until much later in the year

This past year for Ultra 2013 they had stepped up the production game a lot, Most of that money came from being able to keep all of the equipment erected from one weekend to the next. With one weekends worth of money for 2014 they would need the extra money to not 'lower' the brand name by cheaping out on production while still filling their pockets :

Facebook and Twitter are going crazy saying the early birds do not exist. Well they do but you gotta be smart to get them

Im confused. I thought no tickets were sold at all through ticket freak.

Ultra has not made a single comment aboout the tix price.

ticketfreak, ticketjunkie, musictoday, and livenation all had something to do with the ticket sales for ultra this year. When looking at my browsing logs all of those were used in some way to complete my transaction.
