Festival. Miami Beach rejected Ultra’s proposition of moving the concert to the

Ultra ultimately has the problem as the “festival organizers voluntarily
terminated their licensing agreement with the city of Miami earlier this month
amid complaints about noise and losing access to Bayfront Park.” Therefore,
they are looking for a new home within the Miami area and so far, haven’t found
a real solution yet.

Hello Connor,
ReplyDeleteYour post was very organized, easy to read, and straight to the point. I do feel as though you missed a few of the people that these problems affect. For your first article on the Ultra Fest rejection, I think the people who would have liked to attended the event again also have a problem as well as hotels and restaurants who were counting on the attendants of the event to bring in extra revenue. For your second, third, and fourth articles I think customers would also have a problem with restaurants violating health codes, hotels charging ridiculous fees, and a lack of helium balloons available for special events. Finally, for your last problem I think parents would also have a problem with their children wetting the bed because they are the ones who have to clean it up and replace ruined bedding. Great job finding some unique problems!
Hi, Conor Brennan!
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn’t know Miami decided to finally reject Ultra Music Festival. As much as I understand their reasons, I don’t know if that outweighs the money that the entire city makes when people out of town visit the city just for the festival. I think it might hurt the city more than not. I believe the city and festival should just work on more regulations to be placed to prevent these problems that keep happening.
