Get ready to do Miami Music Week like a baller with all-access wristbands to sold out events
During an event as massive as Miami Music Week, there’s nothing better than having a little edge over the average fan to make yourself feel special.
Enter the ingenious F*YOU wristbands, which grant access to all MMW events at eight different venues, at any time, including access to sold-out events. Snap your fingers at the doorman and skip the line at pool parties at the Surfcomber, Raleigh and National Hotel, plus Club Space, Icon, Set, Heart and Libertine.
These wristbands will typically set you back $399, but three lucky winners will receive a pair of these all-access gold mines.
Once you have the all-access bands, you have to know the best things to do with them, so here’s our guide to the top seven F*YOU events at MMW
