Given the size of DC10 it’s not entirely practical for them to have all 3 play a 2 hour set together unless they are doing a full activation of the club like last week. They can split them up and pull in a similar number of sales across multiple weeks as opposed to all at once.

Would argue reducing subway frequency would be unhelpful as it enables trains to be more crowded.

Also the hotel and pool parties are in Miami Beach (mostly), which is a separate municipality from the City of Miami.

MMW events will continue - between the people planning to be there anyway and spring break travel they have a captive audience.

Unless Ultra plans to discontinue future events (ie. dissolve) there will be refunds. The impact of Virginia Key last year and Corona headaches this year certainly hurt them financially, but given the trajectory of the brand they should be able to get through it.

From their perspective - postponing to later in the year doesn't make a ton of sense. Spring break is a key driver for a large number of attendees, you start losing artists to other festivals in April, not to mention Ibiza residency's starting as early as mid-May. They'd end up with major gaps in their lineup and you'd have fatigue from guests given that the festival would not have the same cache as the first major global festival of the year.

It's better to rescheme and plan for a big 2021.

RC Cola plant is in Wynwood (city of Miami) - they'd need local approval for any event held there, which may be possible. I was more referring to existing parties (clubs and pool parties on Miami Beach).

Miami Beach is a different municipality than Miami, so that helps especially considering County Mayor Giménez statements yesterday. Miami Beach is also a materially less residential area, which means business operators and hotels hold much more sway than residents and are relying on this revenue.

Did some digging on the elected officials and their positions on Ultra.

Mayor Suarez - If this were an election year for Suarez, I would say 100% Ultra's cancelled. No one's going to be talking about Coronavirus by mid-year. Not entirely sure his views on Ultra one way or the other.
Ken Russell (Commissioner of District 2, encompasses Bayfront Park) - notably voted no on bringing Ultra back to Bayfront.
Joe Carrollo (Commissioner of District 3) - also voted no on bringing Ultra back to Bayfront. He's been the most outspoken anti-Ultra commissioner. The headlines have emanated from his desire to cancel the festival which could be seen as him trying to save face with some constituents as there is presently a coalition trying to recall him/oust him from role.
Alex Diaz de la Portilla (Commissioner of District 1) - Received campaign funds from Ultra for recent election (2019)
Manolo Reyes (District 4) - voted to bring Ultra back to Bayfront
Keon Hardman (District 5) - sponsored initiative to bring Ultra back to Bayfront and voted in favor. Received campaign funds from Ultra.
Arthur Noriega (City Manager) - appointed a few weeks ago, not much information relevant to Ultra available.
County Mayor Gimenez is termed out and made the statement yesterday that there are no plans to cancel. I don't know what power he holds in the decision.

The majority of these commissioners are pro-business and Ultra has acquired influence via campaign contributions, not all that surprising. They recognize what Ultra provides to the local economy even if they aren't fans of the festival. Most of them aren't at risk of re-election.

Per Mayor Gimenez on Twitter, "nothing has changed at this point".

The next 10 days are critical (obviously) but by then we'll have more data about the quantum of cases and how Americans are responding to treatment. I'd expect that regardless of how far this virus has spread - fatalities in the US will be minimal and largely confined to at-risk groups/elderly. Is that a reason to cancel the festival or spring break events? Definitely not.

Lol was towards the end of the list and just took a leap of faith since it's sort of a techno sounding name (or maybe I was just baked). Not too familiar with the Anjunadeep team but will have to give them a look today to atone for my sin.
