Ultra music festival

Ultra happens to be the event that started WMC (Winter Music Conference). So all that "better shit going on in miami" is because Ultra brought those DJ's there. What makes ultra so shitty? hmm?

If you are planning to go I definitely encourage it. Ultra is an amazing experience and where else are you going to see all of these DJ's in the same area at once? I don't know what kind of a stick toa$t has in his ass..but Ultra is worth it for sure. IF you chose not to go to ultra.. WMC (Winter Music Conference) is going on that week and there will be tons of clubs having big name DJ's there and other big events.. so either way if you make it down to miami you won't be disappointed.

ultra started wmc, and is therefore better than all the other events at wmc? a canadian started basketball, therefore canadians are better at basketball? hmm, may want to rethink that reasoning pal.

and I didn't say ultra wasn't going to be a good party. if paying $250 for huge festivals with a million djs of whom you could only possibly see a tiny percentage is your thing, then go for it. it's just not my thing. therefore, fuck it.

here is some of the other shit going down during the day on friday and saturday. I have bolded the things that I am thinking about.

just checked and you're right. that's a little more reasonable. the cost isn't really the deciding factor for me though. that beatport pool party on the saturdya is not to be missed though (other than Josh Stink, unfortunately). I just wish the circo loco party was on the friday.

Just because it started WMC it doesn't make it the best.. no.. but it certainly isn't a shitty festival by any means. I just take a little offense to it that's all. I work VERY hard all year as well as many other people to get Ultra to where it is now, and to hear someone say something negative towards it kinda just pushes my buttons.
 
WOW..after postin my first ever post on this site after followin bluelight 4 years never thought i would get a 2 page + thread going(i posted the first thread about ultra stating not many people know about,guess just not 2 many i KNOW.....)i started attending ULTRA 5 years ago and the only thing i regret is not knowing about or attendin the first 5 years...for anybody thinking of attending i just wanna say its a EXPIERENCE I think everyone who enjoys any level of electronic music should attend.every year once february starts i know ULTRA is right around the corner the anticipation starts 2 build.....ULTRA has given me some of the BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE!!!i just wanted to give one persons opinion about ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL

i know what u mean about the anticipation of Ultra when February comes around cuz ive been thinking about it every day.
 
Bass_Head,
I am from Ohio. My girl and I are flying down to Ultra and are trying to find out some info from a cool local (like yourself). We are super chill folk who love dancing and dank. Anyhow, send me a PM if you get a chance. P.L.U.R.
 
Bass_Head,
Thanks for the PM, unfortunately I am a "greenlighter" and cannot respond until I am a "bluelighter". I did get your AIM ID. I will down load AIM and IM you when I get home. Thanks bro. P.L.U.R.
 
ultra is definitely something you should experience if you've never been to wmc. it's by no means a shitty festival. the talent isnt very "cutting edge" but imo neither are most of the events @ wmc.
 
hey everyone this will be my first time at umf.... I'm very excited because the 28th is my birthday.... I know a few people going but I just moved up here to Cleveland from OKC and im traveling by myself. Ill get down there the morning of the 27th and I'm looking for some cool people to kick it with maybe who have been to umf before and know about the best clubs/afterparties and whatnot. DJing is a hobby of mine and I cant wait to see some of the talent there. I'm making it an adventure and ready to have the best bday party ever! hit me up for sure

DirtyMike,

No offense, but of course you are going to encourage people to go. You wouldn't be doing your job if you didn't. I guess my only concern is why in the world would anyone need to charge $5 for a bottle of water? I mean, at some point, it starts to get a little over the top with unreal prices after you pay the hefty upfront cost. I appreciate what you guys do with this festival, but to say it isn't overly expensive is just plain wrong when you consider all other factors besides ticket prices.

We aren't responsible for the vendors pricing... And go to any concert around this area and a beer is 10$ and a bottle of water or a gatorade is 5$. I think it's ridiculous but those prices are the same whenever i go to a concert or a festival.
 
Only 9 days left! Hope everyone has gotten their tickets already and I look forwards to seeing you all there!
