Got my Weekend Ones 33 minutes into the wait.
My daughter in Copenhagen was able to land her two at 59 minutes after the opening bell!
We both got the encouraging message at the top of the waiting room. There is a more ominous one now.
It takes a fast car, lady,
To lead a double life.
Yes, I believe a lot more people are prepared to do the layaway plan this year to prevent any problems like have been experienced the last 2 years. Also keep in mind that the number of people wanting to go to Coachella has been on what I assume would be a sharp increase the last few years. I wouldn't be surprised if they start making more plans to expand (either more area / stages, more days, or more weekends) within the next couple of years.
The truth is that there is a huge market for anyone looking to start up a good musical event on the West Coast that a.) has plenty of room, b.) plenty of stages, and c.) occurs when the weather is nice.
If an event were to do well, grow, and compete with Coachella in April or early May we probably wouldn't be running into these issues.
I've been on the standby page for almost an hour. WTF?
still on the stand by page --- and this is for weekend 2.....
I forgot they went on sale today and just remembered and tried at 11:20 for weekend 1 and got the tickets about 10 minutes later.
I went into the waiting room at 11:25 for both weekends, got in for weekend 2 almost immediately and decided to wait and see if I got into weekend 1, about 15 min later I got into weekend 1. Just finished purchasing my two passes now. Weekend 1 here I come! Feels weird to have tickets so early...
Fuuuuu, sold out for Weekend 1? Man I waited for about 1.5 hours.
I finally got through.
I got in dat ass quick as a motherfucker g.
