I would say both are over rated specially ultra. If you've never been; ultra is all ages, outdoors, on patchy grass, like going to a concert venue to see a dj. It just doesn't have the same feel the clubs or poolside parties have. Besides most of the djs on ultra spin at other venues at other times. Unless you want to see the exclusive Ultra head liner which last year was the Cure. who wants to see a tubby 50 yr old wearing mascara? As far as the wmc badge, it gives you some access and some discounts and you get to jump in front of some lines, but for the 6th straight year. I haven't gotten one and really haven't missed anything by not getting it. Remember most times the guys getting badges are industry peeps and djs but even then not many blockbluster deals are made. Most of the wmc badges are business expenses so it isn't really out of pocket buys. good luck
