    Default NPR News: "Coachella festival sold out in little over two hours"

    Just heard this while driving around. They said all advance, GA and VIP are sold out. If it is on NPR it must be legit.

    Just reporting what I heard. I thought it was only advance as well, though NPR said specifically "advance, GA and VIP are sold out. "

    This is what I heard, and the way she was saying it sounded like she meant the whole thing. I'm also thinking that a full blown sellout is newsworthy whereas selling out presale tickets: not so much

    I think it means Advance General Admission and (advance) VIP tickets are sold out. This is what is stated on Coachella's facebook.

    But missing the advance sale could mean that someone just didn't buy tickets during those seven days.
    Goldenvoice just needs to release an official statement and end the confusion.

    NPR could easily have this wrong - media make mistakes all the time.
