No one wants to wait in line when they have so many places to go and DJ’s to see. If you are looking to get inside the party faster during Winter Music Conference we have laid out six options and their cost for you.

#1 All Access Pass or F*ck You Wristband – Nothing will get you into a Winter Music Conference party faster then having either of these passes. Offered by Opium Group and Vice Ventures, the two biggest nightclub owners in Miami,  hold up one of these bad boys at the door of the respective venue and be escorted inside, leaving everyone else in line. For more info visit All Access Pass and F*ck You Wristband.

Cost: $150-$900

#2 Bottle & Table Service – The second best way to get into almost any party is to pay for table and bottle service. Table service at any venue includes party admission for each person in your group and allows you to jump the line. Their are three ways to buy a table depending on the venue. Some venues make table service packages available as an option at the time of ticket purchase through Wanttickets.com. Another way to guarantee you a table is to book your table ahead of time directly from the venue. You can also book your table at the venue the time of the party, however, we strongly advise against this since most good parties will sell all of their tables. Check out our Miami table service directory.

Cost: $800 – $5,000 depending on number of people in your group

#3 Buy Tickets Early – Another sure way, and most commonly used, is to buy tickets before you get to Winter Music Conference for the parties you know you are going to attend. Having a ticket in hand when you arrive to the party means no waiting in the much longer General Admission line and guarantees you get into the party. You can start purchasing party tickets as early as January from Wanttickets.com or whichever method the promoters are using, and pick up tickets . Tickets will be available for sale at the doors of most venues but it is always safer to have tickets to avoid long general admission lines and increased prices the day of the event.

Cost: Pre-sale ticket prices range from $10-$40. Expect to pay twice as much the day of the party.

#4 Winter Music Conference Badge – All delegates, fancy word for Winter Music Conference badge holders, have access to free or discounted “Official Events”. There are typically a 100 or so parties each year that will accept the WMC badge. To find out which parties are free or discounted check out The List and look for “Official Event”.

Cost: $235-$475 depending on time of purchase.

#5 RSVP – If you are invited to a party or know a promoter or performer be sure to RSVP for their guest list. This will get you inside faster and for free. There are dozens of free RSVP only parties during Winter Music Conference, but you need to be in the know to get word of it.

#6 Tip the Doorman - When all else fails tipping the doorman works. Figure $100 per person, anything less is insulting during Winter Music Conference week.

Arrive Early - The most important of them all! Regardless if it is a daytime, afternoon or night party, try to be on time if you know it’s going to be a popular party to avoid the venue hitting capacity or getting greedy. There is nothing worse then standing in line for an hour for a party that you bought a ticket for a month ago or arriving at 3pm party that started at noon and having to wait and pay even though you have the WMC badge. If the venue is at capacity, no one is getting in.

Have Your ID Ready -  A valid (not expired) passport, drivers license or government issued ID is required to get into all parties. Most Miami nightclubs have a strict door policy when it comes to checking for identification, however, during Winter Music Conference it is known that minors have infiltrated many parties. All Miami nightclubs are 21+ years up unless otherwise specified. If you are under 21 years of age stick to Ultra Music Festival and pool parties at your hotel.

Network - Believe it or not, knowing the doorman, DJ or promoter actually does work during Winter Music Conference. While you in Miami be sure to meet as many people you can.  From the people on the plane to the person at the hotel bar, you never know who you are going to meet. Just be sure to ask them to put your name on their guestlist and take their name and phone number just to be sure.

Dress Code – During Winter Music Conference dress codes are pretty much the same from venue to venue in Miami. You can wear anything or nothing at all to daytime parties. At night, guys must wear pants (no shorts) and girls just look your best without over doing it.  Be ready to dance, party and sweat so you can leave your suits and gowns at home.

Bring Girls – Miami is no different then your hometown. Attractive girls are like currency. The higher the quantity and quality of females in your group, the better the chance you have of getting inside faster. Just have one of them walk to the front of the line, make eye contact with the person in charge and politely ask, “can my hot group of friends get inside?”.

Know When to Leave - If there is a large line ask the doorman how long the wait is. They are pretty good at judging how long you will have to wait if you are at the back of the line.This is also a good time to flirt your way in.  If it is more then an hour, you should consider leaving and checking out another party.

Be Polite – Above all else, treat the people at the door with respect. In most cases they are not trying to ruin your fun and are doing everything in their power to get you in the door. Being rude will not get you in faster, in fact it may just have you not getting in at all. Take a deep breath and remember you are in Miami bitch! Enjoy it.
