Edited: Forget what I said, I just received my notification that our friends wristband was shipped!

[asaldana13]

If I bought my tickets from a craigslist ad, can I activate my wristbands through a coachella profile I made even though I didn't buy the passes through my profile? Or can I only activate the wristbands through the peoples profile who I bought them from?!

[heart cooks brain]

it's still not clear if activation and registration are the same thing. if they are then you'll be able to activate no problem. if they're different somehow you may have an issue.

i don't see how they could de facto make tickets non-transferable without announcing it ahead of time.

[Ron808]

Can you people just wait?

[orion75]

We are waiting, Ron808! its an only option.

If we are picking up at International Will Call I assume we don't need to activate our wrist bands until then?

[gaypalmsprings]

The activation code knows a lot about the wearer.

[Corona89]

Don't want to beat a dead horse but can someone provide me with a link where to go to activate/register our wristbands? I'm not having any luck.


Edit nvm I think I found it. Was easier to find from the full site.

[mistakenstrangers]

Will Call pick up? Will there be kiosks we can activate at?

[Bryttany]

I purchased two wristbands-
I activated one and I don't see how to activate the other.....They have different numbers.....by activating one did I activate both?
WHAT'S HAPPENINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[psychic friend]

you only activate the one you are wearing. you dont wear two wristbands

[Ron808]

LOLOLOLOLOL.

[Wolfbeckett]

You're only 9 years old?

haven't seen it answered anywhere yet.. what about people who are picking up their wristbands at will-call or at their hotel as part of the travel package? lots will be picking their wristbands up and heading directly to the festival. how are they going to register theirs, especially if it's mandatory?

[lelandvandermeulen]

We have a travel package and everyone has created an account in advance so when we pick up our wristbands we can register them with either our phones or the hotel wifi.

[zfireswitch]

not everyone has fancy phones. or staying in a hotel.

You're the only person doing will call this year and you're screwed. Golden Voice has figured out the logistics of three weekend festivals to accomodate over 200k people, but they haven't figured this out. I'd say panic. Panic a lot. Then call some people, possibly an emergency service to let them know what's going on.

just a simple question. my wristband is currently sitting on my desk, registered. no panic. just asking for the sake of other people who have asked in other threads. chill.

I purchased two wristbands-
I activated one and I don't see how to activate the other.....They have different numbers.....by activating one did I activate both?

IF YOU BOUGHT TWO WRISTBANDS

*Activate YOUR wristband using YOUR (you and only you) account. Sign in through coachella.com and go to 'My Profile' in upper right hand corner ; should have a link to activate Weekend 1 or Weekend 2 below.

*Give wristband to your guest, HAVE THEM MAKE AN ACCOUNT THROUGH coachella.com, and follow the step above ^^^^^


NOTE: YOUR COACHELLA ACCOUNT IS NOT THE ACCOUNT YOU USED TO PURCHASE THE TICKETS. THAT IS FRONTGATE

Very simple, I activated my girlfriend and I's just fine. Happy Chella

hahaha.. ya oopsie. we forgot about all the will call people. totes slipped our minds.


but yeah:
people can activate at will call at one of the computer stations
or they can activate via the new 2014 mobile app which will be ready by then
or they can activate at the venue at one of the computer stations

[gaypalmsprings]

2014 Mobile App - will it be ready this year?

[TomAz]

The activation code knows a lot about the wearer.

that code doesn't look anything like my code. my code only had 6 digits. OH GOD GOLDENVOICE WHY R U DOING THIS TO ME!?!??!?!

[Ron808]

echoing this.

If you buy a ticket on the secondary market (stubhub, craigslist) does "activating" the wristband verify its authenticity? What is the best way to verify the authenticity of a ticket purchased on the secondary market?

[heart cooks brain]

activating the wristband will let you know it is still valid at the time you activate it. the original purchaser can still have it cancelled after activation by saying it was stolen. in that case you wouldn't find out until you get to indio. if you buy from stubhub they apparently will replace wristbands that don't work via a pop up office in a hotel in indio the days prior to the fest.
