I thought Ultra was nothing more than a collection of the lowest common denominator of electronic music acts and fans?
Always heard the general rule of thumb was go for WMC, leave before Ultra.

The whole week or two has kind of turned into a zoo. It's awesome that almost EVERY act plays throughout the couple of weeks it goes on. I think Ultra is an awful to cap off the whole conference though.

Ultra Music Festival 2013 in Miami FL has announced its expansion into two weekends, March 15-17 and March 22-24. Two day-tickets are now on sale for $575 before fees (rumored to be over $100).
Also, not a single performer has been announced. Is this odd or do I just not understand how large music festivals work?
A 135.00 service fee. what a joke. WOW.

Whoops, yes, I mistyped.
As a frame of reference, how much was Coachella's two weekend ticket?
For comparison, the
UR1 Festival is in December and at the same location in Miami FL. Tickets, $150, are less than half Ultra's. Kanye West, Lou Reed, Slash, Animal Collective, Fun., Jane's Addiction, The Offspring, Keane, are among confirmed performers.

Yes, but that 575 has a 135 service fee and the 299 has a 75 dollar service fee. That is not in line.

They killed it at Bonnaroo. Any word on ticket price? Does DAR ever clear out seats and do GA standing room? I would be completely down for this at just about anywhere but DAR
