Part of the problem is the local bars, hotels, and restaurants triple their prices during WMC week. As soon as the dates are announced, hotels immediately change their prices to 200-500% more. While the EDM crowd usually has the funds to buy a villa at the Delano, most of the more underground music industry can't afford to pay $2000 for 4 days in Miami. Any "reboot" should include packages at hotels, and an agreement that they won't jack prices up so much. Even with only 30% occupancy, the hotels don't learn their lesson. No matter how good the music, people don't want to get gouged every year.
