You have no idea how much fun you're going to have. I've been 5 years in a row and will be there in 2016 as well...

  1. Sunscreen - put it on before you get there because Day 1 security is stupid and they'll take it from you. Day 2 and 3 are loose.
  2. Get there early - don't miss half the day pregaming in your hotel room when you can be enjoying the early sets and empty festival grounds. Too many people make this mistake.
  3. Don't waste so much energy on after parties that you miss Ultra. You're coming for the world class festival... late night clubbing after a full day of raving will make you miss part of your next day. 3 days of Ultra is exhausting!
  4. Plan on buying lots of water. Yes there are some refill stations but unlike EDC these are not refrigerated and not usually particularly fresh tasting. $5 a bottle is worth having cold water and not falling out mid day.
  5. Earplugs. Ultra's main stage is without any doubt the loudest stage in the world. If you're in the first 50 rows you're definitely within range of hearing damage and you should throw in some plugs. http://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-ETY-Plugs-Protection-Earplugs/dp/B0044DEESS seem to be the most popular choice around here and I love them myself.

    Enjoy! Ultra brings all the new music of the season and also an unmatched bass earthquake on that main stage... get ready people!

Note: Finally made an official thread for tips and such: https://redd.it/48sezl

People always ask what they should bring, it’s like any other festival and each person is different. So everyone's list is always unique, with that said... the most important thing for any Florida festival is water and sunscreen. A camelbak is a freaking requirement these days.

Here are some ideas on what you may want to bring (beyond keys, phone, wallet, etc):

  • Camelbak or Water Bottle
  • Sunscreen
  • Sunglasses
  • Diffraction Glasses (enough to share)
  • Zip Lock Plastic Bag (good for holding all the crap, plus if it rains you can put your phone in it)
  • Gum
  • Extra Phone Battery or Portable Charger
  • Ear Plugs (Link)
  • Tissues or Toilet Paper
  • Hand Sanitizer
  • Advil
  • Life Savers (for a quick sugar boost if needed)
  • Extra Contacts/Case & Eye Drops (losing a contact during a festival would be miserable)

When they mean clear bags they mean it. With all that has been happening with shootings in Miami and around the United States they are cracking down. Security it's going to be tight especially after the bar shootings and the airport shootings. Spend the extra few bucks and buy a clear bag off of Amazon or whatever sight you get your gear from.

Get these. I've had them for the past 2 festivals I've been to. They're amazing.

u/Jaexyn · 3 pointsr/UMF

I'd say yes. I went with these when I went in 2016 and thought it was a smart move.

I was able to get to sleep without that high pitch ringing keeping me up. Good for you over time as well.

I made a huge sign for a marathon that I traveled to....I needed it to fold up very small, but it was printed on cardboard like that.

I use a razor blade and cut the back of it, along the corrugation, but not deep enough to cut through the outside layer (with your graphic). I did it in enough places, that the whole thing folded up completely flat and fit in a small backpack.

When I got to the race, I unfolded it and used some tape to flatten it out again - then my pole kept it sturdy.

If I were you, I would do that....score the back side of it, fold it, and put it in a camelback. Then - sneak in a telescoping pole like this: http://www.amazon.com/Extendable-Cellphone-Cell-Accessory-Telescoping-Stand-Digital/dp/B00SXPPJKK/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1427202389&sr=1-2&keywords=selfie+stick

I bet you can get it in that way.

u/disickjacked · 1 pointr/UMF

It needs to be clear. If you use something like this you will be fine

u/OG_Raver · 1 pointr/UMF

I went ahead of purchased this GoPro pole for my cam.
Now the rules say the following:
"Regarding action cameras – yes to strap headwear or non-extendable handles"
This handle that I have does extend, however it has a locking mechanism where you have to twist it in order for it to extend. Do you guys think security will let it slide if I tell them it's not extendable? Was thinking of giving it to my GF maybe they'd let her slide rather some guy. I know it all depends on the person just want feed back. Worst case I'll leave it at the gate if I have to!

If you don't want to spend a lot I'd recommend EarPeace or Eargasm ear plugs. I've used both and like them a lot.

u/SniperXPX · 1 pointr/UMF

No. I used this one this year and had no issues: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01MR4JBWY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Tip: put all your stuff in clear ziplocks so it's easier to go through security. Helps keep your stuff organized and waterproof too.

u/DPDragon · 4 pointsr/UMF

Walmart has some in the camping/outdoors section, as I'm sure any sports authority or sports stores would have them as well. This is mine which has one pocket for the bladder (which I put the rest of my stuff in there in a gallon ziploc bag) and a tiny pocket useful for like keys or gum or unimportant stuff. Camelbaks are allowed and don't have to follow the one pocket rule, but they can't be backpacks like this.

u/Milhouz · 1 pointr/UMF

Haven't tried those, but I got these and they work well for me. I intended on doing ACS Custom ones but didn't have time or the money right then to do so.

u/Dancelvr2000 · 7 pointsr/UMF

Me and my partner have been attending festivals longer than the age of many attendees. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of hearing protection that also preserves fidelity of music. I have had tinnitus that has taken 6 months to resolve. It is not fun. It can be permanent, which would be awful. I recommend Etymotic on price versus performance, but many other good ones also. Eargasm also recommended.

I also bring cheap blue foam plugs that I give to people that need them, but those degrade the music.

UMF is limited to 110 dB at a certain distance, which can certainly do hearing damage. There are louder festivals, but it is enough to cause damage. We are also almost always in first row against fencing so that is directly in front of speakers. Far enough back not as loud.
