Do I buy a multi day pass or not buy a pass?
We are gonna be there from Jan 7-14th, but it looks like I have to buy passes in specific blocks of time :\ WTF. I guess I could buy a 3 day opening pass but what if all the clubs suck those 3 days or I only want to go to certain nights, Is there any benefit to buying a pass vs tickets? |

This was my dilemma last time - I went with a 3 day weekend (for the last weekend) pass as I was there for 9 days. I attended events before my pass would allow me too and I'm glad it worked out for me because door prices were between $15-25 which in the end worked out to be less than a 7 day pass.
What I also did that you're going to have to wait for is wait until they release the lineup/show dates and jump on it as soon as they are on sale. I only bought 2-3 presale for shows with the big names.
I plan to do the same thing again this time around. |

I've gone every year since its launch. Big benefit for me is being able to go from event to event with zero line having a wristband. You simply just waive the wristband and are in immediately. Its certainly a plus and it ACTUALLY works the way it should.
If you are going to be there the entire time Id buy a wristband for simplicity. If you want to save money than buy individual passes. |

| another strategy is to show up early or quite late to avoid the lines. |

True. BPM has gotten big, almost too big. Hence good to arrive early or super late even with the bands - for certain parties.
I wouldn't expect individual tickets until december |

| Is there a certain radius or intersection that would be a good center point to start searching airbnb or hotels with? |

| Yes... Find the club "Blue Parrot" and work around that. Everyone goes to Blue Parrot. It's like the Avalon of PdC. Crackies n all! |

| Not sure if i am remembering correctly, but I recall paying around $220 for the 3 day closing weekend wristband last year. Definitely agree that it does work how it should and its nice to be able to party hop without waiting on any lines. But $350 is quite a big jump from $220. Most expensive individual party i bought outside of the closing weekend was like $30, seems you'd have to hit a lot of events to get your money worth. Unless they plan on significantly increasing individual party prices this year which looks like it may be possible based on the wristbands. |

Pretty much
I would love to buy a pass to get the "ins and outs"and "no lines", but at that price you really have to party non stop. Since I can only drag my wife to a couple events, its just not worth it for me :\ |
