With each Winter Music Conference there comes a new wristband or someone claiming an “all access pass”. Ranging from $100 to $10,000, yes five zeros!, with perks such as a t-shirt to a premium open bar, the question is which ones are really worth it. The simple answer is that it all depends on what parties you want to attend vs. which parties the pass gets you into and the perks that come along with it. Of course parties and perks change each year so doing your research before you drop $100+ is important. For last month we have been doing our own research and drilling the organizations pushing these “make your Winter Music Conference week a whole lot better” tickets. Here is our complete guide to all of the 2010 WMC wristbands and passes.

The obvious benefit of buying anyone of these ticket package bundles is savings and not having to wait in line. By bundling tickets you can pay one fee saving anywhere from 10-30% off the ticket prices if you were to buy them separate. Whatever 2010 WMC wristband or pass you decide to buy, get them sooner rather then later to avoid a price increase or being sold out.
