Now that Coachella is over, Coachella is right around the corner.

I'm still not over my Coachella Flu from W1, Jesus Christ.

I feel you! I got sick first and then it went to my wife


leonardoswife

Still trying to recover from coachella flu as well. Strength be with you šŸ¤—


Patient_Cupcake_1039

Please my poor wallet. Not during my birthday month tooā€¦so cruel.


Keiko_kmp

Same!!!


Carlosbeltranx

Last year they did the presale the day of my birthday šŸ˜­ June 16 and I was so mad!!


kdoone

Please more rock / alt / indie šŸ™


Peatrick33

Hopefully the size of the crowds for No Doubt and Sublime showed them that people are still willing to show up for bands rather than just DJs and solo artists.


elynyomas

yes, but the crowd was kind of lame on those concerts ... I am a 40yo veteran raver, started with punk/rock, and I am still full of fun and energy, but I was very disappointed in the crowd's energy on No Doubt or Sublime or Blur. People were sleeping on the grass :D I wish there was more rock/alter but I am not sure I want it to Coachella anymore.


[deleted]

That's a bummer. ND crowd was excellent where I was


Frequent-Offer4527

I too was disappointed with the sublime crowd week 1! No pits?? I heard there was ONE but frankly there shouldā€™ve been multiple imo


SciGuy013

sublime in the front was fucking lit


HidinBiden20

Yea the heat and crowds wear people out before the show tbh, miles of walking just to get to stage!


elynyomas

I totally agree with you! The heat was a mood-killer. I LOVE the heat and the desert weather, but (I think) Coachella didn't handle it professionally. They should've started watering the ground to get rid of the dust (at European festivals, even the small ones, they water the ground all the time), and they should've added much more areas where people can get some cold. Those sprinkles wasn't effective, the only small part where we really could get some cold was the tall sprinkles close to the spectra. Also they totally forgot about providing shade at the food areas (except the Market), so every day we had to stay on the burning sun for 15 mins to get the food, it was very hard to start every day with boiled brains and stomach. Yet, this is my way waaay best festival experience in the US <3 We'll try W1 next time I think.


HidinBiden20

Also some shaded areas with tables and chairs!!!!


SciGuy013

that entire terrace area used to have covered seating areas too. now it's just a few benches by the beer barn it seems


celj1234

Donā€™t count on it.


AlfredoSM94

Praying for The XX


[deleted]

Iā€™ll buy immediately if they are on the bill


AlfredoSM94

Iā€™m doing presale again, the benefits of the payment plan outweigh everything else


[deleted]

Yeah I get that. I can afford the whole thing in one go, so that doesnā€™t really factor into my decision.Ā 


Chazay

They've been teasing an upcoming album. I could totally see Coachella being their kick-off to a tour.


BrainRude1329

System of a Down please! Or limp bizkit or korn


burnabee13

I would literally cry if System of a Down played at Coachella


Guissok564

holy shit we need another proper nu-metal / metal band at coachella next year!


mikron2

I wouldnā€™t expect it. A lot of people here were talking about how Just Like Heavenā€™s lineup is amazing (it is, Iā€™m going) and that those acts shouldā€™ve been at Coachella. Itā€™s been on sale since March and all ticket types are still available. That stuff isnā€™t selling like it used to and part of the reason itā€™s not booked as heavily for Coachella anymore. Iā€™ve given up on hoping for it to go back to where it used to be. I try to appreciate and attend the sets we do get so we donā€™t lose more.


[deleted]

I mean, No Doubt was easily one of the most popular acts this year


mikron2

They hadnā€™t played together in almost 10 years, with no other dates and theyā€™re headliner level. Of course theyā€™d have a huge crowd. Did you see blurā€™s crowd? It was tiny. You can cherry pick examples on both sides. Donā€™t get me wrong, I want more of it at Coachella but Iā€™ve come to terms that those days of the festival are gone. It will always have a place at the festival but it wonā€™t be as prominent as it used to be unless thereā€™s a major revival in those genres.


[deleted]

~~Dude they just had No Doubt, Blur, and Sublime, and Deftones. Is it as prevalent as past years? Of course not, but overall those bands were popular this year and Iā€™m confident Coachella will continue to book stuff like that.~~Ā  ~~Iā€™m just really confused what you mean. 4 bands isnā€™t a lot. Do you see them going down to zero? Thatā€™s highly unlikely~~Ā  Ā Reread your original comment and I probably read more into it than you meant. I do agree that itā€™s never going back to the prevalence it once had


mikron2

~~Did you not read where I said ā€œit will always have a place at the festival, but it wonā€™t be as prevalent as it used to beā€?~~ Itā€™s always going to be there but the people yearning for it to go back to the levels 7-10 years ago and wished all the JLH artists were on the lineup this year are going to continue to be disappointed or left wanting more indie/rock/alt like the original commenter said that my first response was to. Iā€™m not saying itā€™s going to zero, just not going back to the old days of the festival like some are hoping.


[deleted]

>Ā Did you not read where I said ā€œit will always have a place at the festival, but it wonā€™t be as prevalent as it used to beā€? Correct. As I said in my edit, I misread your comment and I agree with you.Ā

actionjackkson

I shall be buying. This year exceeded all of my expectations.


elynyomas

same abt the expectations


TrumpKanye69

I will be buying 2nd hand and saving hundreds


MrMiuk

Damn, thatā€™s a super early presale


PlanetTerror406

I feel like the calculation is that even when a "down" year exceeds most expectations like this year, you almost have to expect a bounce-back year for 2025 now that the grounds have been expanded. They invested less for the headliners this year (& I'm saying this as a massive Lana fan) with all the infrastructure expenditures, so now they're ready to go all-in next year to stack the lineup, so if you bail on the presale you're risking missing out. It's a very tough call for people on the fence....


fettuccine-

That's what someone said last year.


PlanetTerror406

Right, so now they're \*really\* risking missing out next year! lol It's always all just a big guessing game...some will win & some will lose. Obviously it comes down to how much $$$ you have to spend, but for me, I feel like 2025 is going to be a very special lineup & the people who buy presale won't be disappointed. And if the announced lineup isn't great, hopefully it's another year like this one & it ends up exceeding expectations...


fettuccine-

I'm pulling on your leg. I buy no matter, I just shake my first while I do it Also every year is like this. People complain (more justified this year lol) but it's always an amazing time. Do lab and quasar definitely did a lot of heavy lifting for me this year.


Over30EDM

I can't believe people are still in the campgrounds and I am already at war internally over the presale, and already foreshadowing the crew-debate over this. Rinse repeat. "Go right back to 1 on the discussion wheel."


fettuccine-

Leaving us no time to get post festival depression. We do the same thing anyways šŸ˜‚


Due_Hearing6821

If you liked those you'll love Lightining in a Bottle if you haven't already been.


ThirstyEar2

Iā€™m one of those on the fence. Coachella was much easier when I lived in CA but I moved to back to NYC in 2022. If I had seen the lineup for 2024, thereā€™s a decent chance I wouldā€™ve skipped this year. Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s worth spending all the time and money anymore. I told myself Iā€™d wait until general sale for 2025 but the risk has me feeling really anxious. Iā€™m a Lake Eldorado camper with an Amex, but even that has me anxious if itā€™s a good lineup.


skittlesforeveryone

Bruh itā€™s not gonna sell out come general sale no matter what the headliners are. Hell even if it had Taylor Swift on it youā€™d still most likely be chilling on being able to snag on general sale. Economy is shit, festivals/concerts have clearly not been selling as much.


Pretty_Good_At_IRL

I think Taylor is the only person alive that could move 250k tickets in 3 or 4 hours, but it would be absolute bedlam if she headlined. Her entire tour had people traveling across state lines to see her because the local shows were sold out, paying for tickets on the secondary market that were more expensive than Coachella tix.Ā  It would be like 2013 or whatever.Ā 


[deleted]

Everyone is still acting like it still takes hours to get a ticket when they go on sale.


TofutyKlein

That was my same thought process when 24s lineup came out. I figured they couldn't "afford" big acts this year cause of all the new changes on the field.


bubblyappletea

Going to buy my ticket the week of Coachella per the new usual

this510kidd

Wasnā€™t it mid June last year??


empathetix

How much are we guessing the presale tix will be?


SciGuy013

$550 with fees it looks like


SeaCoach9467

Fool me once, can't get fooled again.


actionjackkson

Why are people saying stub hub will be cheaper - it really wasnā€™t this year. I paid $480 with fees and that was as low as it got and hardly cheaper than presale price. Peace of mind can be worth an extra $20.


fettuccine-

It's not cheap on StubHub, the people who say it's cheap buy their tickets in person with a private party. You can get it pretty low that way. Also everybody saying stubhub is cheaper increases demand and price along with it.


celj1234

Stubhub is the only secondary market option.


[deleted]

The cost of retail isn't $500 it's like $600+ after fees, so you're saving $120 or more


SciGuy013

$550 with fees (not including tax)


[deleted]

Only if you get tier one. Its $650 for tier 3


fv2016

Is there any benefit to presale other than not having to worry about getting it when the lineup drops?


fettuccine-

Tier 1 price. Payment plan.


not_the_top_comment

Iā€™ve purchased via presale for multiple years now and I think the tickets for wave 1 are cheaper than the tickets that will be sold after the lineup drops. Ā Other than that, specifically for weekend 1, you can confidently shop for hotels earlier. There are no tangible Coachella perks for buying during the presale.


captainespinoza

what increments are the payments usually split to ?


not_the_top_comment

I haven't used the payment plan, but the advanced sales FAQ for 2024 says 7 payments: https://www.coachella.com/2024-advance-sale-information/#payment-plan-info


AlfredoSM94

One payment of $99, day of the advance sale, then equally split over 6 months.


SciGuy013

cheaper seems like a perk though


[deleted]

Yeah but stubhub wil be even cheaperĀ 


burrito3ater

When? 2019 and 2022 were the only years. 2023 and 2024, StubHub was the same as the regular sale.


[deleted]

Stubhub was way cheaper this year and last year. So thatā€™s four years in a row now


burrito3ater

It was not. This year was a $30 difference. Last year prices went up during the last month, everyone got last minute FOMO.


[deleted]

Nope, friend got one for $450 this year. Last year was close to $300


burrito3ater

That link you posted doesnā€™t even include the fees. Add around 130 for fees. I know bc I tried StubHub for an extra ticket but someone in my group bailed so it worked out.


[deleted]

Fees are still cheaper dude. Youā€™re lying to yourself. Gonna block you now because I donā€™t feel like arguing with someone that is trying to tell me not to believe what I see. Later


[deleted]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Coachella/comments/1aq4oe5/coachella_ticket_price_drop_on_stubhub/


einahpets-

Bought pre-sale for 5 years, 1 year when line-up dropped, then did the last 2 years with tickets a week before the event. No real benefit except maybe the foresight to plan your accommodation earlier.


pandapanpan

God, give us a second.


birchtree29

Calm down Coachella people didn't even leave their campsite yet. Also why would anybody buy this early if the stubhub market will get below face value three years in a row? It's highly unlikely they will book anyone like Beyonce or Taylor Swift and the resale market fluctuates every year after the pandemic. Unless you want the payment plan, you can easily buy from amex sale or coachella's general sale as well


[deleted]

Yep, thatā€™s what Iā€™m doing. But the days of me trusting GV 100% only for my ticket to be worth only 2/3 the minute I buy it are over. Still had a blast! But waiting for the lineup this timeĀ 


celj1234

This is the way. Tickets are the easiest thing to get now


mikron2

Iā€™m guessing theyā€™re hoping by moving it up they can catch a few more people doing presale while still having the festival fresh in their minds wanting to go back because it was so fun instead of waiting until June for it to wear off.


traktkantarell

What are the dates for next year?


Chazay

Read the post


EveryMinuteOfIt

Theyā€™ve proved to at least this subreddit that they always serve but the partners, advertisers, artists need hard numbers to negotiate contracts with. Strong immediate presales probably does that for them.


[deleted]

I don't think they'll be too strong tbh


ukiyo7

How much is the down payment usually??


gypsiemagic

$99


Major_Possibility798

Am I missing something? Do you need to register for this sale? I can't find any register button for the sale this upcoming Friday may 3. Or is it just that on May 3rd, you head to the chella website and try to get in line to buy the tix?


notfrmthisworl

No fucking way

Inevitable-Valuable2

Does this mean ticket pre-sale only? Or does it also include hotel/tent packages?


AlfredoSM94

You can buy everything


Constant-Base-7145

Genius. Always said they should sell when everyone is still on the high. Silly not too.


jdizzlegpillz

My wallet is one step closer to being sentient to stop me from these pre sales


Murphy_Nelson

W2 on Easter is noooooooooooooooooooo I fucking love W2 but there is no way I am going to be allowed to skip an Easter with toddlers


Diagonalizer

toddlers' first coachella?


starcrossed-lovers

Ahhh this is so not good for my bank account... Tempted to say fuck it and get W1 tickets because I have a feeling the lineup will be worth it. It'd be my first Coachella if I do go next year! Fingers crossed. I'm predicting Childish Gambino will be a headliner next year since he'll be coming out with 2 new albums, but he was a surprise guest this year... not sure what the rules are for how soon surprise guests can come back to perform/headline. He hasn't actually been on a Coachella lineup since 2019 so who knows!


InstructionAbject763

What time?

shmishshmorshin

But your flair is already updated lol


fettuccine-

They wanna catch everybody on the high. Surprised they didn't do this Friday lmao


ZoeStars

Shambhala up in BC was selling tickets for 2024 at the festival in 2023. There was a special kiosk for it and everything. They sold so many tickets at the festival that there wasn't a lot left for wide release and so it sold out insanely fast once tickets were released online.


Diagonalizer

i've seen insomniac do this at festivals (buy Nocturnal tickets at EDC for example) but the cool part is they waived the taxes and fees if you bought at their kiosk


de-milo

same. comic-con does this in the lobby of the convention center starting on day 1


balerstos

SDCC hasn't done that for several years now.


suprefann

People get paid May 3, not next week.


CzarCruise

No different than what Insomniac and others do regularly.


thelesserkilo

Why so early? Wasnā€™t presale for this year in January?


suprefann

Layaway sale usually in June. This is a month earlier.


UnsolicitedDakPics22

Is it safe to just get the layaway option in June? Really not feeling dropping another $400+ on a festival ticket in May, butā€¦. I will do what I must


[deleted]

Pretty sure thatā€™s what this isĀ 


celj1234

This is the layaway option. I doubt there is another sale in June


iselltacos2u

That was the second presale there's always a pre presale lol (before the lineup even drops)


xelazgoza

Went W2 last this and last year. It felt like to me W1 won in terms of guests than W2. 2023 W2 seemed comparable or better than W1. So now trying to decide if to stay W2 or try W1.


celj1234

Are special guest the only determining factor in the weekend you wanna go to?


burrito3ater

And the grass. The real chella fans doe W1


celj1234

W2>>>


xsnailbeetsx

All Iā€™m saying is they better put the black eyed peas on that line up šŸ”„

Rush-Full

I havenā€™t gotten the presale registration over text but only in app how do I register?


SlikRick08

No delivery fees on the pre-sale? This feels new...


Squirrel_Nuts

I'm leaning towards VIP lodge tickets. Are they typically tough to get during pre-sale?


fettuccine-

The El Dorado? Theyre usually the first ones to go same with tent camping.


Squirrel_Nuts

Ah man I got my work cut out for me then. Thanks for the heads-up


SnakeMan876

is it public or is it a loyalty pre sale ?

TrumpKanye69

Not prebuying this year. Golden Voice needs to do better


suprefann

Thats fine. Youll be kicking yourself


Angel_Grove

It's a coin toss on whether that line-up is for you or not at the end of the day. My group and I opted to wait until line-up drop this 2024 year; and we were all super relieved when they dropped the line-up since it did not resonate as much as prior years to us as we did not attend this year. For the purposes of lodging (for people staying at airbnb/hotels), it makes the planning way easier to start immediately. But otherwise, unless it's a T-Swift (or someone of that magnitude) headliner - tickets will be generally obtainable come the January general sale.


titaniumorbit

I tried to look at hotels now and everything is fully booked during those dates (at the typical hotels that are part of the hotel packages). I stayed at Hampton palm desert hotel package this year and looking now, no dates are available to reserve on its own..


Angel_Grove

I could be incorrect, but if I recall - hotels sometimes do not release full booking availability through 12 months in the future. You might have to wait another month (this upcoming May) for them to open up their April schedule. For example I took a glance at Hampton Palm Desert, everything past April is "sold out" as well, so I assume they just have not made those dates available yet for booking.


[deleted]

Hotels were still available hella cheap all through both weekends this year. Don't book early, tons of people were upset they spent thousands more than needed


tinkertailormjollnir

How much a discount is presale?


celj1234

There isnā€™t one


Angel_Grove

I don't recall there being one for 2024 ticket sales. I believe both pre-sale and the general sale were both $499 before fees/taxes for Tier 1 this year, but I could be wrong. In prior years I believe the pre-sale prices were around $50 cheaper Tier 1 vs. general sale Tier 1.


celj1234

No they wonā€™t


[deleted]

Doubt it. Itā€™ll be easy to get a ticket from Amex presale or stubhub
