UPDATE: Ultra has officially confirmed the new minimum age policy, saying the decision was made “to reinforce and promote the safety of all Ultra Music Festival fans and to ensure the overall enjoyment of all future attendees”. They also encourage aspiring underage fans to follow along on the Ultra Live YouTube stream.
After mounting complaints by festivalgoers that there were too many irresponsible teenagers at Ultra Music Festival in recent years, it seems as if the company’s flagship Miami festival is ready to go 18+ only. Promotional fliers distributed at Electric Zoo this weekend advertise tickets going on sale soon for next year’s festival, and assures prospective attendees that “the safety and security of our attendees, artists/performers, and personnel are out utmost priority and concern.” 
Although there is no official word from Ultra yet, this decision seems deliberate and should come as good news to many people, although with multiple drug-related deaths and hospital visits tainting nearly every recent music festival (including those already 18+), it makes you wonder just how effective the new age limit would be at reducing said issues.
Imposing this age limit would bring Ultra to the same tier as other major EDM festivals such as Electric Daisy Carnival, Electric Zoo, and HARD Summer, although festivals such as TomorrowWorld are even more restrictive with a 21+ age limit.
God dammit I just got enough money to get them too…. EDM, Why do you run from me? I’m not there for the party but the music :'(
It’s a hoax. Those are fake flyers
Please do change the age!!!! You g adults should not be all round so many drugs at a young ago!!! And so much drinking ad well!!!
Good move in my mind due to the fact that I saw a 5 and 8 year old last year.
Fuck this. Ultra is the best time of the year. Why do so many people have to complain about this? Michael Oppliger
I’m 23 I don’t give a shit
