seems like their cazy marketing is working.
i hate ultra for many reasons.
one of them is the freaky "exclusive" rule, which doesnt let the DJ's play at other parties .... |

I see your point, but how many other festivals have anything else going on within a 300 mile radius at around the same time, in America? Not the same really is it? |

| Sucks for the people who waited, now their going to have to find someone selling them on the street, and thats if they are any hard tickets. According to their website it says tickets will be mailed on or around 3/1/2011. Tickets for each day would be the easiest way, they made their money already so it doesnt matter IMO. |

| well i'll be the first to say it - i've got a good friend who just heard of Ultra for the first time and wants to go. Literally this was Wednesday night. We were getting hotel straightened out and now Ultra is sold out. Anyone looking to sell... let me know. She has the money to pay above face but not looking for anything ridiculous. Just PM me please... |

Well.. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Ultra. I'm just saying how I see it. Ultra is a business. A business which is trying to make profit. Just like any other festival and I understand the exclusivity contracts (hate them as much as everybody else) but what can you do? I think it's just silly to hate the festival for trying to gain profit as a business. Instead of blaming the festival, shouldn't you hate the artist who signs the contract?
And to be honest.. There's maybe 3-4 artists who are ultras exclusives who I'd like to see in a club, so it really doesn't make a difference to me. I can live with that. |

ultra was successful for many years before they started the exclusive nonsense. there was no need to do it except that they got greedy.
lets be honest about something, ultra would not even exist if it wasnt for wmc. wmc brought the artists and then once a hell of a lot of artists were around a festival just made sense. and honestly thats great. festivals are fun and a great way to see a lot of artists in a short period of time if you cant make it out every night of the week. but the second ultra starting making artists exclusive they turned evil. some would argue it happened before that but thats how i see it. and now they are trying to be the only thing relevant and keeping artists away from their fans and well thats simply bogus. they have more money these days and the corporate machine is turning. they can outbid the clubs and its up to the artists to decide. oh wait, should i get paid x amount of dollars for only playing a 1 hour set and being exclusive to ultra or should i play 3 nights and a pool party and make the same amount of money and party the rest of the week? it makes sense. its just not good for us as the consumers. the more nights, the more djs, the more sets, the better for everyone. well except ultra of course. but they're gonna make their money regardless so wtf. some of us simply dont want to pay that much money to run around a dusty field with little kids on drugs for the first time to catch a watered down one hour set by our favorite artists. some of us prefer the comfort of a night club. but ultra doesnt let us have that choice anymore. if you wanna see so and so artist you have to pay the big bucks and put up with all the nonsense that is ultra. and thats bogus. |

i can not believe they are not warning anyone about NOT selling single day tickets they are going to piss alot of ppl off they have sold single day tickets always now i have to buy them from someone.. they should have at least mentioned it , although there are lots of friday and sunday tickets for sale online. i think there lack of information this year is horrible . i dont know what to expect there are so many rumors from the construction site at the park to the wristband rumor , an estimated half a million ppl, the splitting of wmc, its just been so sketchy. i hope there are no riots and i hope they ing deliver and it is as massive as there making it seem. i have a feeling downtown will be pure craziness that weekend. and there are SOLD OUT ? how is that even possible its not even march yet. and they better not have a ty main stage like 09 wtf was that , they better have a monster of a main stage with hella of light show.
last year was amazing pure perfection!
i am also worried that they will try to cram as many ppl as they can in the park 200,000 ppl sweating to over crowed + lots of drugs = overdosing and disaster
this can either turn out to be really good or real bad , |
