2013 COACHELLA IS SOLD OUT!!!! BOTH WEEKENDS SOLD OUT!!!!

[kroqken]

Whether all tickets are sold out, or just advanced tickets are sold out, to me, it doesn't matter because I am proud to announce that KROQ KEN IS GOING BOTH WEEKENDS in 2013. MY TWELTH YEAR IN A ROW. See you (lucky 80,000 people) next April!

[witham]

Frankly I like it that way. I look at the poster and then I don't even digest it all until 2 weeks later. My stomach acids have trouble with jizz.

[amyzzz]

Yay ken!

Yay ken!

Yay Archie's credit card!

[kroqken]

[kroqken]

Yay Archie's credit card!

Doubt they sold 172,000 tickets in five hours to a festival which is 11 months away and has no lineup.

CONAN!?!?!?! IS THAT YOU????
Will your show still be around next April? Id love to check it out live before they cancel it!

Im assuming the 'Advanced Tickets' means they sold out of the allotted presale tickets, and there will still be 10-15000 tickets for sale come January. At least I hope so for my sake.

[theGold]

I'm pretty sure this was not the entire allotment...would all the tickets really have gone from not selling out for a week (last year) to completely selling out in a couple hours? With a new 2-ticket limit instated? I almost think they purposely released less tickets for the presale this year just to create publicity.

Quoted for emphasis. There is a lot of psychology behind their ticket selling strategy. Its working.

[ADrunkPoet]

Tickets will be easy to find the week before the event, regardless of how fast it sells out. That being said, its quite possible next years event will sell out completely during the presale (as is the case with Glastonbury, if I'm correct.)

[vinylmartyr]

Congrats GV.

[algunz]

If there are no more tickets left then Eddie Vedder and Paul should issue a formal apology, because scalpers would be fucking stoked.

[yardbird]

I hope they change the way they release the lineup. They don't have to sell tickets, so why not dribble out acts here and there as they sign on, like Bestival does.

because it will give the forum whores a reason to complain about every single act instead of a general "this lineup sucks balls".

[captncrzy]

YES BUT IT WOULD AT LEAST KEEP US BUSY

[captncrzy]

Congrats GV.

iS IT YOU?

I lawled at the idea of this. It would be pretty funny if Coachella took the 56,000,000 they make off of tickets and decided to not give a shit anymore and spent only a couple million on booking. There would be a lot of "unhappy campers".

[algunz]

I would start a complaint thread for sure.

"The general on sale will happen early next year."

^^^ common sense..y'all are acting like a bunch of babies..can't get anymore clearer than "advance tickets sold out" fuckin morons

[bizzwriter]

from coachella.com front page...

"The general on sale will happen early next year."

they said that because they didn't know they would sell out ALL tickets in presale. Now they know. If there IS a general sale, it will be a relative handfull of random tix from cancellations, dropped layaways, and what not.

Where'd you get your information from huh?

[JC2011]

No worries for the people who didn't get tickets. Plenty of people are using the payment plan. When they default Goldenvoice will use those tickets for January sales.

[Princesa]

Every year they do the advance ticket sales for 3 days only... and then follow with regular tickets sales 3 or so months before the actual event. Why would anyone expect anything different? The only reason they do the pre-ticket sales is to offer the payment plan option. Not to mention the advance tickets ALWAYS SELL OUT FAST. The amount that will go on sale before the event does not change because of it. The reason they sell out is because there are only a limited avail for the pre-sale.

[Jman4321]

Last year the FAQ stated, if I remember correctly, that they were putting up all of them and those that were left over would become the general sale. This is from where the confusion of this year stems.

Wrong.

They have never done the presale for 3 days only. The payment plan is not the only reason they do it because they allow you to pay in full during the presale. And the reason people might expect something different is because this is the first time that both weeks presale has sold out.

I can imagine Paul and Co dancing their ass off right now....what a blast they must be having. Roughly $50,000,000 in a few hours...damn!

YOU FAIL
