V. Barbarino Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 People have been confusing that this was just a name change, it's not..The press release does not tell you that MMC is not the same company(s). WMC is aligned with Ultra with their own dates and MMC has Global Gathering with their own dates. MMC gave WMC a chance to be part of the longer MMC but they didn't want to. Thus all the clubs will following the MMC and clubbers should book trips based upon the MMC dates. I'm not picking sides here, but I know the clubs here in Miami are on the MMC side. Also the dates from year to year won't change, something WMC could never figure out. hopefully this helps..For those around the world who will read this, who have no idea who the saleen is, please reads this post I made last year that clearly outlined what is going on now. Look at the date of the post. http://www.cooljunkie.com/forums/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=14194These dates have been locked down for about 2 months now, they just had to work with the UK partners who were skeptical at first but as you see with GG they are on board. Everything was super hush hush. Even the big jocks had zero idea.. Dates would have gone out a month ago, but a local drama erupted over something that I won't dicusss... Most clubs are booked up for the mmc already, most just have one or two more dates to fill. WMC is nonesense in terms of you getting on a plane and comming to Miami to party. I'm curious to see if the Hard Rock is going to try and get in on the partying this year.. I have a feeling they will... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewChibale Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 my bad because i caused confusion ... but hey, if it is 2 different things, at least come up with a more "original" name ... :year after year people dont even say the word "winter" .. they say "the conference in miami" or just "the conference" .... MMC with Global Gathering and WMC with Ultra is a very interesting approach to us .... already looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pod Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Well, like the press release is saying, these dates will be advantageous to all whom are concerned. Artists, clubs, clubgoers, and the city/county. One of the biggest complaints of years past has always been "so much to do, so little time!" We hope with these extended dates, to rectify the issue. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pod, who works for track entertainment, clearly has posted the wmc dates:http://www.cooljunkie.com/forums/index.php?board=16;action=display;threadid=212243. The #1 guy in the US for clubs LP is running the show. The BBC radio 1 guys are on board, tiesto is on board, Global Gathering is on board and the vast majority of big name djs and their agencies are on board. How do I know? I know ever club operator in town..4. WMC failed to see their problems, so now MMC was born out of fustration, even LP owner of space wrote a letter last year and made it public as to the sort commings of the WMC. MMC tried to get WMC to join forces they said no, but now the wmc is in "talks" with mmc..as for greed, I'll quote mr gordon gecko "greed is good"..If I told you:1. cheaper flights2. cheaper hotels3. longer stay4. more parties5. cheaper parties6. less hetic7. longer time to book hotel and flights8. You can see the big jocks twice!9. Two festivals, over 3 daysWhat would you complain about now? The clubs in Miami will make the same amount of money whether it's 4 days or 9 days.. Also that "greed" as you put it, funds our roads, schools, etc and builds NEW CLUBS! Spirits at the hard rock is a direct build off of Space's WMC success. Crobar can build crobar nyc based off of it's wmc success.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clutch Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 I had a post deleted from this board which wasnt about noncence! When you get so defencive about something you should look deep inside because I can tell that your subconcience knows how this is going to play out. Maybe the WMC is in 'talks' with the mmc but you can be sure it isnt about helping LP make more and dissapoint more then last year! mmc may seem cool to the Miami crew but you can be assured people will be arriving in Miami for the WMC dates. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the post above by Metropolis Chic? Do you know who that is? Thats the marketing director for metropolis, the largest club in Miami! There are 15 24/hour rooms ready to go for downtown Miami for the mmc.. The amount of parties will be staggering this year and plenty of time to see them all. I'll list the 24 hour rooms for you:Space has 4 rooms and a patioNocturnal has 2 rooms and a patioMetropolis has 5 roomsPlayers has one roomPawn Shop has one roomAbout 15 rooms in total that will go 24 hours for 9 days!

Guest Clutch Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 Dont get me wrong I am all about good music being played loud! The Metropolis Chic might of been a bit quick to jump the gun but its all good. Saleen I do have respect for you but think that sometime you support things that bring you down. Anyways Miami is going to be sick this WMC!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ctferni Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 why are people picking sides. When it comes down to it its just two weeks of parties rather than one. I really dont see MMC hurting WMC considering the actual "WMC" involves panels and displays and that sort of thing. The only thing affected by this will be Ultra. Some might chose to go to only Global Gathering and Ultra's attendance will drop a bit. We will all benefit from this because these festivals will compete for us by offering better talent, production and possibly cheaper tics. Im predicting two weeks of packed clubs all over miami. Some will stay one week ,other will stay both but in those two weeks every club in miami will bring in more $$$ than wmc last year.When march comes around and your in some club watching your favorite dj spinning do you really care if its WMC or MMC??

Guest vegasguy25 Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 Saleen, I would say you're right on everything except the cheaper hotels. Rates are running well ahead of last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coach Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 What I want to know is what makes the MMC a "conference"? Why is it not the Miami Music Festival? Is there anything remotely conference-y about it? Have a bunch of club-parties all in the same week in no way constitutes a conference.Not that I'm saying more parties is bad, I just think the naming is misleading.

Guest coach Posted October 21 Report Share Posted October 21 Not that I'm saying more parties is bad, I just think the naming is misleading.I think that's the whole purpose. Brilliant, isn't it??? ;DActually, most research shows that misleading the public is a bad idea. It may work in the short-term, but it eventually will cause a backlash.
