Ultra Music Festival Will Pay A Minimum Of $2M In Rent Under Proposed Agreement
The city of Miami and Ultra Music Festival have a new draft agreement for the use of Bayfront Park which will see rent at least double.
The new agreement includes:
- $2 million in minimum annual rent, with a percentage charge on ticket sales that could boost that number
- Usage period of the park limited to 30 days
- Decibel level limits during festival, and time limitations on sound and light checks
- $1,000 per minute surcharge if the event extends past midnight
- Restoration of park to original state, and coverage of extras like police and fire
The agreement is scheduled to be reviewed by Miami’s commission at a meeting on July 26.

I say no to this. The only good thing is the rent that the city will get. Music limitations, no. People know the area they live in, there’s no need for the government to intervene in this matter. Coverage of police and recovery makes sense. Alcohol banned? What is this, L.A.? There’s a reason why people love Miami and that is the freedom to do as you want in the area without inflicting harm on others of course. I can’t even drink a beer on a beach here in San Diego. Beaches here get barely packed even when it is hot. Do we really want to control everything and everyone? It looks Orwellian to me.
Alcohol is NOT banned.
Good?
That’s what happens when you live in a Blue state…1,2,3…cue in the s#itstorm!!
You mean as opposed to living in a “Christen Right Red State?”
Blacks are the most religious in the U.S so when you liberals poke fun at Christians you’re acting making fun of us black people. But of course you don’t actually care about us.
You right black lives don’t matter to other black lives cause they are always shooting each other
Only the liberals care about blacks when they need your votes! Like when Al Gore tried to speak Ebonics on a rally ?
Yeah, and Trump showed blacks how much he cared about them when he invited some of them wealthiest and best known of them to his penthouse in NYC.
Make America PROUD again let’s all get together as a team
Everything is not always as it seems but the economy and jobs are on the rise
Be happy come together as ONE
For the first time in America the unemployment among black people is less than 6%…. never happened with a black president
Yeah… thanks to Obama and his stimulus package.
LOCK HIM UP!
The 10 trillions debt…. and not a year the GPD reached 3% and one year after he’s gone … it happens !
WOW, MCDONALDS, BURGER KING, CVS, WALGREENS, BRIGHTLINE, ARE STEPPING UP IN THE TRUMP ERA!
Anything better than welfare… not everybody is a college lefty snowflake…. the dignity of work is not where you work is that you don’t dependent on the work of others …..
LOCK HIM UP!
Didn’t the right bash those same jobs every time any positive jobs report came out when Obama was president?
TRUMP! The only way to go!
Read more, argue less.
The manufacturing sector has improved FAR greater than than the service sector in the last Labor Bureau reports.
Foxconn, which used to build iPhones overseas is building a $10B plant in Wisconsin. A new steel plant is opening Miami-Dade County.
Etc. Etc.
The tax reform policy of this President has encouraged companies to repatriate 100’s of Billions on dollars. $400M from Apple alone.
All Americans should be proud of these trends and these accomplishments.
Happy Independence Day.
I’m very happy with the tariff wars Trump is creating all over the world. In doing so, Trump will tank the U.S. (and the world) economy in time for thr 2020 election!
Thanks to POTUS peace love and everyone get happy stop the fighting USA could be a war torn place
“Blacks are the most religious in the U.S so when you liberals poke fun at Christians you’re acting making fun of us black people.”
Really? You mean to say that when a black person hangs a picture of a white man on his wall and say “that’s my saviour Jesus Christ,” that black person is not poking and making fun of himself?
Jesus wasn’t white …. faith has nothing to do with imagery!!! I bet Che Guevara wasn’t white either but you have a picture of him and idolizes him, denying he was a criminal ?
“Jesus wasn’t white …. faith has nothing to do with imagery!!!”
Okay, Jesus isn’t white. Is his mother Mary and father Joseph white?
Um, who are you talking to?
Che Guevara was white. He was Argentinian of European ancestry.
He was a criminal ……
Hey morons, this post above is about Ultra and details on the new agreement. Not a political circlejerk
Hey everybody, in case in you didn’t know, marc is the “self appointed moderator” of The Next Miami blog site.
Thank you
Agree with Marc… this chat lately has been poisoned by politics , like everywhere in America with intolerant people on both sides!!! Let’s keep this chat about everything but politics!
Don’t forget the size of the soda in New York!?
I’m glad you mentioned that, because it’s really important.
It’s if you consider that liberals want to control everything for our good ! ?
You mean the way conservatives wanted to “control everything for our good” when they came up with a proposal to surgically insert a small abortion apparatus in the arms of females in the projects across the USA?
The liberals did the same with planned parenthood ?
You’re saying the liberals wants to do the same thing that the “right to life” conservatives proposed – sterilizing black women in the projects?
In a way they don’t becasuse they will be loosing potential voters!?
But didn’t tell those same women in the projects “you might as well vote for me, what else do you have to lose?” Back then it looks like he was fishing for votes to me.
I meant, “But didn’t Trump tell those same women”
With planned parenthood
But aren’t you conservatives pro-life?
And now you oppose abortion??? Doble standar liberals !!!!?
LOCK HIM UP!
I think they might have misread. It appears to me that alcohol is not banned as it states a cutoff time for alcohol sales and must be in paper/plastic cups. Heineken and Redbull are the only brands (sponsors) allowed in bottle/can form. And it appears to say 2/person at time of purchase, meaning (I believe) you can only buy 2 at a time, not 2 total for the whole day.
Miami is one of the capital of the world……. wait until we also have , the Beckham Stadium and the F1 racing !!!
“Alcohol sales banned” Is the new young City Miami part of this proposal ? Stop acting like this part of Miami isn’t a party city.
Wait one can only buy two beers?
It’s called pregaming.
2 beers per purchase.
So no more 9am wake up calls? I mean sound checks?
Residents are pissed. Lawsuit coming up…
LOvE one another right now STOP the bickering it’s stupid dump and gets nowhere
Come together join for the sake of all of us not just the blacks the Jews the gays the Muslims etc
We all can live peacefully if we choose
It is a choice let’s work on it
It’s easier than you think shake hands with the other side believe is this beautiful country USA
Seems like they should do more for the residents dealing with the mess in Downtown
A spa day for each resident?
No, but a legacy gift to the community would be great. Contributing to fthe Flagler redevelopment, homeless services etc. it is not uncommon for events of this magnitude in other cities. The nfl is doing it for the nfl experience.
I live in downtown. This is a great deal. Let’s just hope they use some of that 2 million to spruce up Museum Park.
