they linked camping passes with the wristbands and made them (camping passes) nontransferable, which was new this year and a huge impact. it's not clear yet if they will let people into the campgrounds if they dont have a matching car camp sticker + wristband RFID chip but from the writing on the website they won't, so that removes the ability to scalp camping passes


the 2nd weekend helped a lot with weekend 1 scalping - although we didn't really see the effects until this year (last year ticket scalping prices were reduced a little, but this year by a huge amount, i.e. face value).

i dont know what the ticket type counts look like, but camping+GA passes are probably the most popular combo and in years past they would be scalped like crazy, disproportionally so from a GA wristband on its own

Is this true? I have a GA pass and I'm going to camp with friends who are car camping. As far as I know, I do not need a special camping pass to do this. Only one person needs to have a car camp pass and bring in car. Others people can join and camp on that spot.

He meant you can't get your car into the car camping ground. Anyone with a GA wristband can enter coachella blocade (they close off a block or two each direction), campgrounds and the actual festival

i got ONE weekend 1 ticket for sale if someone needs it.

PM me.

The masses are going to vegas instead thus so many tickets being sold.

did anyone notice that there's someone named DJP opening the sahara on friday with an all-scott hardkiss set? no idea who DJP is but that's pretty sweet

arggghhhh they put up Prydz against the Chili Peppers!!! That is so lame. I have wanted to see them both for YEARS. I'll have to go with Peppers on this one since Prydz is gonna be around more often I'm sure.

Damn Yuma is going to be going OFF all weekend.
