Me + 4 ; and we're all first timers.
I'm looking for some tips and pointers from those who have already been..
Which parties (clubs) are worth going to asides from the obvious UMF?
Where did you stay ?
What kind of loot did you spend ? Alcohol, food, hotel whatever (excluding the WMC pass)
Any locals spinning (asides from the obvious Tiga) ? ??
Should be sick as long as gas prices stay polite (road-trip) |

I have to say the WMC pass has it perks and all but its not really worth it, but that is just me.
I did not drink that much anyways can't say how much I spent. As for staying somewhere not sure how much it cost, probably a bit over $1000 for a few days. Best bet check vbro.com, great website. Renting a condo is way more fun and cheaper then staying at a hotel, cost effective, such as you can go get groceries.
I ended up going to Pawn Shop the first night, then two other plays over the few days I was there. Forgot the names... one had Sasha & Digweed and the other one had 16 bit Lolitas. |

After a 2 yr hiatus, going back to wmc for 3rd occasion, 23-30 March, renting a house in South Beach (near Nikki Beach), that a friend got off Craigslist (hope it doesn't end up being a scam hehe!) A few suggestions :
1- stay in South Beach area, otherwise you will pay for lots of cabs to the main parties. Renting a car may be worthwhile if you plan on doing things other than partying
2-sneak in whatever booze you can into the parties (not UMF though). Some of the prices for drinks are ridunculous
3-some parties are free - check several message boards to get the 411 on that and other helpful info (i.e. the wmc section of TA, clubplanet, cooljunkie, global undergound, Resident Advisor, etc...). We saw Zabiela and Fanciulli for free one night back in '06, and the BPM/Remix Hotel party was free too, with big-name dj's.
4-the smaller boat parties are a blast. We checked out Lawchair Generals (and other dj's), with the funkiest house music. Full-on party, ran out of beer, the boat did a 180 to stock up again. Seeing the Miami skyline with the sunset on a boat is an experience you won't forget.
5-don't go hardcore every night, your body will thank you
6-Go to Space at least once, and make sure you go on the terrace when the sun goes up (breathtaking). Usually big names every night, choose your fav night and go. This club closes around noon as it is downtown Miami. All the clubs in south beach close at 5AM.
7-UMF after party is totally worth it (if you like the particular dj line-up). If BBC Radio 1 throws a party, it should be good! We never bother with the wmc badges. Getting into a club is aprox $40, but this can fluctuate greatly in both directions. Wanttickets offers lots of pre-sales, good idea to buy in advance if the event is likely to sell out. Besides accomodations, I anticipate spending aprox $1000 on food, clubbing, taxis, drinks, etc... for one week.
8- WMC IS THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY YOU WILL GET TO SEE ANYONE WHO IS ANYONE IN THE EDM SCENE - CRAMMED INTO ONE WEEK. YOU WILL NOT GET THIS ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD. PERIOD.
I've done Ibiza twice and IMO, you definitely get more bang with your buck with WMC. |

| Buy all your tickets in advance! You will be raped so hard at the door. Door prices are sometimes twice or three times the pre sale price. |
