You're talking about "doing it right" and then bring up staying in a hostel in the same sentence? Lol.
The secret is bidding via Priceline VERY early, like in August. You can get a quality hotel for a bargain if you do it like this, 150/night on the beach or around 100/night in downtown Miami (last year I got the Courtyard Marriott d.t. Miami for 95 a night, not the greatest property in the world but was nice enough and was convenient). It's obviously too late for this now, but something to think about in the coming years.
And yeah, the whole European thing sounds fun and all, but as a Florida resident, why would I go through all of that hassle just to go to a music festival when I have Ultra in my backyard? The lineup is stellar, don't think there's much disputing that. Just stay away from the main stages and it'll be a good time. And there's a reason why there's so many Europeans in Miami during WMC -- it's because it's bad as down there that week. People act like Miami ain't just because it's a domestic locale, talk about taking it for granted... |
im trying to keep the comparison level, european hostel vs clay hotel (hostel) and doing it right and priceline price bidding VERY early is like saying we all shouldn't book flights on Tuesday's because it's the most expensive. thanks for the travel lessons I thought you could only book a hotel if you rolled up to the front desk and asked for a room. |

we can argue about this vs that all day (i tend to technically agree with everything youre pointing out, earnyourkeep) but for me, the most important thing is being around my friends.
sure, i could go to nature one in europe with 2 random friends and it's a top festival. or i can lets say go to ultra with my closest 10-15 friends and even though i'd deal with some noobs, i'd have a much better time spending it with my best friends and enjoying the music we love together. |

dude i'm happy you have ULTRA in your backyard but what the peeps are talking about is something you missed to grasp the point of that ULTRA has noww popped its bubble, so welcome to the square. now step da f*ck out of it |
Ultra popped its bubble years ago man. It's a corporate behemoth that wants money. What's funny about this is all these mysitcal places such as Ibiza that everyone hypes up are even more overpriced than the we have here in Miami and NYC...
Look it's a fun time, that's what any of this is all about in the end. Either way, you're spending a -ton of money if you want to go to good parties. And the whole square thing, step out of it...please stop trying so hard on the internet... |

dude, just go back to FLTA and we'll love you all more for it.
PS. I'm glad you notice you being ripped off in your own back yard.
PSS. your backyard ULTRA: 2.5 weeks tops VS. (mystical) IBIZA almost over a half a year, each year of none-stop EDM.
PSSS. And I am from backyard 365 days of clubbing, living long outside the box and trying hard on internet to get tw*ts like you to get personal help.
GET OUT OF NYTA and YOUR OWN BACKYARD |

Touche. I heard from some people who went to both locations that the move really created a lot of inconviences. |

huh? i don't get what you're trying to say but if this dude lives in miami - how is only having to spend money on a ticket to ultra equate to him missing out on a full trip to europe by doing so? |

| Some of the acts on this year's line-up are interesting. Snoop Dogg? Azelia Banks? the weeknd? I mean I like em, but I wouldn't be surprised if ultra was really trying to get those acts to get at them ticket sales. It would be weird to see UMF turn into Coachella lite (BTW, Coachella line-up is out). |

Apples and oranges.
I don't live in Miami but only a couple hours away. That's the whole point I'm trying to make.
Sure Ibiza is one hell of an experience, I'm sure...but at what cost? 1200 for airfare, a -ton more for hotels, food, transportation, outdoor like boating, clubs, etc. I would guess, what? Close to 3 grand for one week of partying? And then having to convince a friend or two to go with you and spend that same kind of money. In a perfect world I'd go every year but not everyone can do that type of thing.
And honestly if I was flying to Europe, I'd rather see actual Europe, and maybe catch a show at a place like Watergate in Berlin, not just a bunch of superclubs on an isolated island. Ibiza would be fun, but doubt I'll ever go, better ways to spend that money...
And wow, so impressed that you're from NY...yay! Here's a sticker for you buddy. |

i'm pretty sure it just doesn't make sense, regardless who it's meant for.
opportunity cost principle ftw. |
