When Ultra Music Festival was forced out of the popular Bayfront Park in Miami, Beach location, the festival's organizers scrambled for a new location.
After plenty of research, Ultra Music Festival landed on Virginia Beach only to find out another festival would be taking place the same weekend as well as the popular bike ride, Critical Mass.
While reports were slim of traffic getting to the festival, hundreds of festival attendees are voicing their unhappiness on social media just getting out of the festival grounds. In fact, hundreds of people have resorted to walking off the bridge altogether.
We will wait and see it the traffic issues get resolved for the rest of the weekend. For now, read some of the tweets we discovered on Twitter.

@MDPDmedia people are stuck on virginia key unable to leave @ultra. Are your officers only good standing around for that overtime pay or are they actually going to help this situation?

As of 12:30am, 100s of buses are lining the road from Crandon Park to Bear Cut Bridge, waiting to pick up people at #Ultra. Car lanes are reduced & Traffic past Bear Cut bridge is very heavy heading towards Miami, & the show doesn't end til 2am.

Around 3pm it took 30mins… NOW we left an hour before the festival ended (1am) and we haven’t moved… If you come to pick someone up you have to go all the way into the island you can’t make a U-Turn. You will be here more than an hour if you come pick someone up. Be prepared!

Nice to know we paid $500 for tickets and were promised transportation but the only way to get home before 4am is to walk 3 miles across the bridge. Way to go @ultra #Ultra2019

Once you make the 3 mile journey across the causeway on foot there are still issues. Thousands boggling down @uber and @Lyft. The apps aren’t loading. #miaminews #Ultra2019 pic.twitter.com/5ls6g5KkHS
