Comparing setups for stages at massives in the US vs Europe is worthless. In the US you have to deal with massive, expensive unions and all that to do this stuff in just about every state. It makes everything far, far more expensive. And DJs and the politlcs involved to book at these large events take up a lot of money itself. It's easier to get a group of DJs at a bargain in Europe compared to here. Far, far easier.
It's something that 99.999% of people don't understand. And that's OK. Not their job to. But it makes it harder for the US organizers because it's always compared to the European events.
THe west coast massives (mainly LA) are seeing more and more theme'd shows, though. That's because events out here get 100,000 people to attend them now. Keep an eye on events like Electrinc Daisy Carnivel, Wonderland, Nocturnal, Monster Massive, Together As one, etc in LA (has exploded from 20,000 ppeople 6-7 years ago to 70,000-100,000 at each event today...mind you, they are INFESTED with candy ravers and e-puddles :p), and keep an eye on LovEvolution in San Francisco (eqivalent of Love Parade - was called Love Parade SF at first, then LoveFest, but trademarks have led to LovEvolution). |

| I know about how it works - i helped some festivals out. I hate unions in general. But I disagree with you that comparison hurts. Being measured up is always a good thing cause it promotes changes year to year. Ultra has been getting complaints regarding this heavily in the last 2 years and they have reflected it in a cheap but still have by adding some slight design to cover some trusses and those light inflatable triangles, etc. I just think they could scale down the lineup, reorganize the grounds, and then get real production going. Weather is not an issue when it comes to these things. Its just financing. And sure EDC might get more people which gives them more flexibility for production, but ultra is far more expensive. If they went with a 12pm-12am on both days at the same ticket price, scaled down the talent, and rethought production, it would be an amazing festival. |

So everyone going from Ultra straight to the club: What about dress code? I plan to wear shorts and t-shirt to ultra. Also what about you just being filthy? Last year we left Ultra and went back to our hotel on SB...turned a white washrag brown. Do you guys clean up, if so where?
I'm going to Karu & Y after day 2, but would hate to go all the way back and forth. Any suggestions/recommendations? |

| And on that note...they should have a few buses transporting people from Ultra to Southbeach. I remember after Day1 last year spent an hour trying to get a cab...(didn't leave a few minutes early) |

Friday i'm not going anywhere after ultra. so i'm not concerned with waiting for an hour to get back to SB.
Saturday is a different story. i'll leave 30 minutes early to get to Karu&Y. there's no way i'm playing around with Ferry's set. |

looks like there is a SPECIAL discount for $100 tickets for the M_Nus boat party, i got mine for $107 (on Resident Advisor, it costs $125 plus fees).
email [email protected] with "M_Nus Tikki Tixxx" in the subject line and you will get a private ticket link emailed back to you..those were the instructions i was given and it worked out perfect for me.
