Organizers of the ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL (ULTRA), the world’s premiere electronic music event, have announced tickets are no longer available for the three-day festival taking place March 23-25, 2012, at Bayfront Park in downtown Miami. Having sold-out in record time, no additional tickets will be made available.
ULTRA continues making history by selling out tickets in advance for three consecutive years, including 60 days before the festival in 2011 and 79 days in 2012, and totaling more than 450,000 tickets combined. The majority of tickets sold occurred without any line up being announced. No other three-day festival in the international electronic music community has yet to achieve this.
Throughout the weekend, over 200,000 fans are expected back at Bayfront Park where ULTRA last took place in 2005 (last year the event was held at Bicentennial Park and reached a record-breaking 150,000 in attendance). In order to accommodate a larger footprint for increased capacity, ULTRA is transforming and customizing Bayfront Park in a way never seen before for an enhanced music experience.
Ticket holders for ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL will get to experience three days of the best in electronic & indie-rock music helmed by world-class headliners: TIËSTO and KRAFTWERK Friday, March 23; JUSTICE (Live) and AVICII Saturday, March 24; and DAVID GUETTA and ARMIN VAN BUUREN Sunday, March 25.

About ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL:
As the world’s most famous outdoor electronic music festival, ULTRA has won “Best Music Event” by the International Dance Music Awards (IDMA) six consecutive years, from 2005 to 2011, “Best International Dance Music Festival” by the Ibiza DJ Awards in 2008 and “Best Festival” by the Village Voice Media New Times consecutively five years running from 2005 through 2009. Originally created as a pure EDM (electronic dance music) festival in 1999, ULTRA has grown through the years to present not only the genre’s hottest, biggest and best headline artists (The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Tiësto, David Guetta, deadmau5, Underworld, Kraftwerk, Armin van Buuren, Moby, Fatboy Slim, Justice, Carl Cox, Avicii and Swedish House Mafia, to name a few), but also crossover headline bands that incorporate EDM elements in their music and have a history or new beginning in the EDM community and culture (The Cure, The Killers, New Order, Duran Duran, The Black Eyed Peas, Erasure, M83, Santigold, The Ting Tings, Cut Copy, Empire of the Sun and Bloc Party). Together with its signature, cutting-edge productions, ULTRA is unrivaled by consistently presenting the world’s greatest, most diverse EDM line-ups year after year.
In 2011, its 13th year in existence, ULTRA had its best year to date with over 150,000 attendees coming from 71 countries and territories and all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico. Additionally, production began on the feature-length HD concert film/documentary Can U Feel It, the highly anticipated follow up to 2004’s The UMF Experience, which is scheduled for worldwide release early 2012.
