After an extended debate, The City Miami Commission has accepted Ultra Music Festival’s transfer to Virginia Key. We have discovered a fantastic deal concerning the plan through the deliberations. The commision assembly, which started at 9 a.m. at this time, included a number of statements from group members. Concerns included environmental hurt, noise air pollution, injury to wildlife, elevated 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 chance a lot decrease attendance. Ultimately Ultra was requested to simply accept the deal for $2 million to promote 60,000 tickets they usually accepted that deal.
Layout
Ultra’s Head Production testified that the Miami Marine Stadium space may 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 individuals mentioned how European festivals function so much strolling between the phases and “that’s what we are attempting 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 related phases might be close to eachother, with individuals 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 individuals, water taxis, and rented parking garages.
