After an extended debate, The City of Miami Commission has authorised Ultra Music Festival’s transfer to Virginia Key. We have discovered a terrific deal concerning the plan through the deliberations. The commision assembly, which started at 9 a.m. immediately, included a number of statements from neighborhood members. Concerns included environmental hurt, noise air pollution, harm to wildlife, elevated site visitors and transportation points.

The Price

Originally Ultra was pushed to pay $2 million to remain at Bayfront Park. During this transfer to Virginia Key the contract was negotiated to be $1.four million. During deliberations a number of council members wished to push Ultra again to $2 million or extra. Their representatives argued that there's at the least $800,000 in further transportation prices and the opportunity of a lot decrease attendance. Ultimately Ultra was requested to just accept the deal for $2 million to promote 60,000 tickets and so they accepted that deal.

Layout

Ultra’s Head of Production testified that the Miami Marine Stadium space might squeeze in about four phases. While Bayfront Park is about 32 acres, we weren't given a complete sq. footage for each new areas mixed. The Miami Marine Stadium space is about 17 acres.

The Space Between

It’s gonna be a trek and a half, guys. Ultra’s personal folks mentioned how European festivals function loads of strolling between the phases and “that’s what we try to create right here”. While we doubt they got down to create an extended stroll, that’s what we’ll get. The plan is to make use of a paved bike path between the Miami Marine Stadium and the Virginia Key Historic Beach. So get in form since you’re gonna trek it. Ultra will most likely cut up the areas in order that comparable phases might be close to eachother, with folks testifying that many individuals choose a stage and have a tendency to remain there.

Transportation

Ultra plans on spending at the least $800,000 on transportation bills relating with this new venue. That contains busing for an estimated 50,000 folks, water taxis, and rented parking garages.
