Tickets for the Coachella Valley Music and Art Festival just went on sale yesterday and some were left without passes. The good news is, people who want to come next year still have a chance to avail passes but these need to be purchased with packages.
Coachella 2016's pre-sale tickets ended in just three hours leaving others hoping to get passes a bit distraught. However, according to Coachella.com, tickets can still be purchased but it would be a little pricey this time since it has to be availed along with a package. For those who are on a budget, they can wait since Coachella tickets usually go back on sale around January.
For those who want to buy their tickets now, there are three kinds of packages offered. The first one is a three-day General Admission pass plus a free dinner at the Rose Garden which is priced at $600 per person. The second one is a three-day VIP pass plus a free dinner which is priced $1124 per person.
For those who have more than enough cash to splurge, they can get a Safari Tent which starts at $7000. The tents are complete with air-conditioning, options for beds or set up a lounge. Purchasing will also allow free access to VIP areas.
For those who already have their passes and are planning to go to Coachella this year, the lineup prediction just started. IDigitalTimes had a couple of predictions ranging from Sir Paul McCartney to Beyonce and Jay Z.
Paul McCartney tends to participate in festivals and last year wasn't different when he performed at the Firefly Music Festival in Delaware and at the Lollapalooza in Chicago. Radiohead is a favorite audience pick but they weren't able to make it this year so fans are hoping they can play on stage next year. British band Mumford and Sons is also a favorite. They only played in Coachella once, back in 2011 and fans are hoping for a repeat. Meanwhile, Beyonce and Jay Z have never performed in the festival but they are big fans of Coachella.
Generally, Coachella doesn't announce their official lineup until January or February. The Coachella Weekend 1 will on April 15-17 and Weekend 2 will be on April 22-24. The big music event will take place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
