    $70 in fees, that's ridiculous! That's more than 25% of the value of the ticket!

    Sorry, did the math, over 23% of the ticket value, f-ing steep! What the hell?!

    Remember when Pearl Jam played the polo fields back in the day because it was one of the few venues in the world that didn't suck the corporate cock of Ticketmaster? Whatever happened with that?

    The sad part is that camping at Coachella isn't that expensive. Imagine 2 tickets plus a hotel each night.

    YIPES.

    I wish the Glasshouse was a little more conveniently located....the fees suck, but at least I have the peace of mind of knowing I have my tickets locked down

    You lucky fuckers!

    I'm genuinely happy for people who can get them at Glasshouse. Not only do you save a couple of bucks, but you don't feed Ticketmaster's desires to anal rape everyone in sight.

    Ugh, I had to do ticketfast because I forgot about ticketmaster's whole "will ship only to billing address bullshit", oh well.

    AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IF CAMPING, BUY THE TICKETS TOGETHER USING THE SHOPPING CART OPTION. You WILL save money.

    3 day pass on it's own: 332.30
    Total charge for 3 day pass with camping using the shopping cart: 369.65 (plus 2.50 for ticketfast if you get that option)

    I had $175 in TM gift cards, so I had to deal with the monster. Made it only $150 for a 3 day, which works for me.

    Fuck, so those are the prices. captncrzy e-mailed me that she bought them and I thought maybe the first 6 was a typo.

    This is what it told me when I went to buy a 3 day pass the first time. Using ticketmaster.com, clicking on 3 day pass, nothing weird:

    Ticket Price US $269.00
    Convenience Charge US $22.20
    Building Facility Charge US $36.00

    Plus the order handling fee they tack on at the end.

    That's what I'm doing -- total is going to be around $1100 after taxes and hotel fees and ticketmaster and everything else

    So, looks like I will be going to Fingerprints for the first time. Is the $285/3-day pass the full price at Fingerprints/Glasshouse? Anyone know if they tack on any other charges?

    Glasshouse ftw

    3 day pass plus camping = $342. $31 LESS than doing layaway with a 3 day and camping combined.

    Wish Coachella would use LiveNation.com. The fee's are a lot lower with livenation and they don't charge you $2.50 to print your own ticket.
    But geez those fee's are pretty dire! Glad my ticket came at with thanks.
