Just looks like Ultra is trying to brand and hype up their underground selection. Probably a combo of Cox & Friends Megastructure and the Bayfront Underground stage curated by Link/Miami Rebels (at least last year.)
Yea, trying to get the real heads to buy a ticket.....don't think its gonna work

Lol @ these marketing gimmicks.
Instead of selling commercial dance music, now they're selling the 'underground experience' to the masses.
This scene can be so absurd sometimes

They have always had pretty absurd talent on the lineup. Just cashed in HARD on the recent EDM boom, caused much of it really.

i mean that lineup is good. but that few artists over 3 days. meh... now look at dgtl... 2 day and for the lovely price of 85 euros. http://dgtl.test.tc8l.nl/viewdbimg.asp?id=197 for the price of that ultra ticket, youre not that much further off from paying for a flight.

Quick check has round trip flight Miami to Amsterdam at around $1000. Ultra ticket is $450 which I agree is absurd.

Speaking of plane tickets, why the fuck are they so expensive still when gas prices have plummeted?
I travel to Europe in the Spring (before May) because that's the cheapest time to fly. Tickets are more expensive this year than last.

You want to never pay for a plane ticket again? I highly suggest making your way over too http://travelwithmiles.com and follow those instructions to a t. In 90 days I have well over 200,000 miles. Roundtrip to Europe is 50,000 miles. Also, US Airways credit card is offering 50,000 bonus miles with your first purchase and payment of the $89 annual fee. I just got my card a month ago, bought a pack of gum and paid the bill, miles just hit my account last week.
