NORMAL PEOPLE WILL SPEND BETWEEN 1500 AND 2500
DEPNDS WHERE YOU WANT TO PARTY...
ME ON THE OTHER HAND....LAST YEAR...MY SPENDING WAS OUTRAGEOUS...BTW 4K AND 5K TO HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE I SERIOUSLY MADE IT TOO PRETTY MUCH EVERY PARTY
THAT INCLUDES CLOTHES/TICKETS/DRINKS/PARTIES/CABS/HOTEL/FLIGHT EVERYTHING...I SPENT THE ENTIRE WEEK AND SLEPT LIKE NOTHING
MIAMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND EVERY YEAR MAYBE 5-6 DAYS IN UP UNTIL 3 WEEKS AFTER IT ENDS IM LIKE THIS IS THE YEAR I START SAVING FOR MY MOVE TO MIAMI
THE GREATEST TIME OF THE YEAR IS THE BUILD-UP/ANTICIPATION |
Yea that estimate sounds right 1500-2500 I think I spent 2 last year and went to all the parties I wanted. Now under a grand your talking about drinking tap water at the club bathrooms and making your own alcohol. |

Right so everyone that is thinking of going already booked rooms in advanced for the last 3 weekends of march sometime earlier this year and then since the dates are announced you can cancel the 2 weeks that will NOT be WMC...that way you locked in the lower price before they jacked them up after the announcement.
I did this
:gsmile:
i wonder if all other likely wmc attendees did... |
I don't think most people do that (though I reserved the last 2 weeks as well). The rates are going to be pretty high throughout March partially due to Spring Break. Though WMC is the pinnacle of March for the Miami Hotel Industry. |

ohh well but to all you newbies debating between WMC or a moon landing and only have ONE choice your best bet is a moon landing, Dont get me wrong I am saying if you can ONLY do one or the other so that doesn't mean WMC sucks because it doesn't actually its the best thing you can do in the US it beats Vegas any day of the year or century, Just saying moon landing is better. |
So cute R!CH.... |

lol @ moon landings...
I spent $1300 when I went to Miami for 5 days. We pre-bought tix to all the events we knew we were going to hit and saved hundreds. We also stayed at the Days Inn up on 22nd street.. I didn't give an F because I was only in the room for maybe 18 hours. party after party after party after party after par...... |

I already got my room booked through my company, at the four points miami beach, in $69 per night!! Awaiting the W south beach to open, as i may be able to score there if it opens in time.

Surfcomber and shelbourne and other hotels with pool events that arent free like the national hotel are great places to chose to stay at, however, they cost so much year round. No matter when you book the hotel, even the day after WMC, the rate usually isnt different for next spring break.
Where do most TA's usually stay at? I tried last year to get people to post what hotels they are in so TA meetups could be easy to do, but not many wrote in, besides writing that they are going.
I would recommend staying away from the beach plaza hotel. The website made it look great and it has music events but the place SUCKED! |

Sick hookup! If the W Miami Beach does open (says March 1st), maybe you can sell the other room to a fellow TA?
Looks like this year is more expensive. Last year we scored a round trip ticket to Fort Lauderdale for $300 and South Beach Studio Condo for $200 a night.
Looks like the flight will cost around $500 this year. |

Everyone should make shirts with their TA name since that's how most of us know each other........ |
