You’ve gotta admit that there are worse problems a festival could have than their ticket site crashing from too much interest. However Ultra Music Festival has been down this road before, and received heavy criticism for it in previous years. Tickets were supposed to go on sale for the first ever Ultra Mexico today, but the response was so massive that the server crashed and the entire operation shut down.
As a result the ticket sales have been postponed until tomorrow at 2pm. You can read the full translated statement below.
Due to the enthusiastic and historical response that we receive today on our website for the sale of tickets, our technical system was taken to its limit causing an interruption in the service. Since then, we have been taking action to address the problem.
However, we are fully grateful for their unconditional support and will remain committed to providing them with an unprecedented experience in Ultra Mexico 2017. Despite the above mentioned drawbacks, we will resume ticket sales this Friday, June 2 at 2:00 PM CDT. Those who managed to get their tickets through our web portal today should not worry, their tickets are completely valid and were not affected.
Once again, we thank you for your incredible support and, See you in Ultra Mexico!
