Also, 2-day weekend passes = sold out. Only Sunday (The Cure, Flaming Lips, Air, etc.) remains on sale.

And rumor has it the pre-sale of affordable bottles of water, skip-the-line bathroom passes, and "get your drugs in for free" cards have also sold out.
 
 bummer.

The Cooper Temple Clause have posted their set time. Mojave Tent 5:45-6:30pm on Sunday.
 
 And I checked the Indio weather yesterday. Sunny, sunny, sunny, sunny.

God, I cannot believe this is just about a week and a half away. I've been looking forward to this for so long, but I can't believe I'm actually going to be there for this. How many tickets do you think they sold for that first day? 60,000?

good to see others making the cross-country trek for this.
 
 see you there...

I'm pretty damn excited...should hopefully be a fun time, I am really looking forward to it. I'm usually not big on festival-type things, but I just can't say no to this. I'm really crossing my fingers that it will be a great time with few headaches. I just hope that the event is well organized and that traffic is not going to be a nightmare.

The last 2-day, all-day festival I attended, someone was struck by lightning.  I'll be attending Saturday's show.  I'd recommend you stay off you cell phone, at least on Saturday.    :eek:

I almost went that day, but didn't want to deal with the Dave Matthews Band so I scalped my ticket. I had 2 friends come from out of town, so we bought scalped tickets for the second day (at 25 bucks a pop), which turned into a mega value for the next day. Pulp, Sonic Youth, Radiohead, the Beastie Boys, etc.  I was pretty glad that I bailed that first day, I was just bummed I didn't get to see Kraftwerk. Though in Indio I doubt they'll have a major thunderstorm!

A week?! I'll be there by now - having spent the night in Joshua Tree. Hope to be doing a little rock hopping next week at this time.

Woo hoo! I'm catching an early flight next Friday, so I'll be in LA around lunchtime. Can't wait to leave the East Coast for a bit.
 
 Grotty gets a bonus point for quoting Twilight Singers!

From today's NME.com CALIFORNIA DREAMING!
 
 CALIFORNIAâ??s COACHELLA festival has become the hottest ticket on the web.
 
 Ebay is now flooded with high-priced auctions for tickets to the May 1 and 2 event, which is sold out of tickets for the first night and weekend passes. The full event is expected to sell out within days.
 
 On Thursday (April 22) a single ticket for Saturday May 1, headlined by Radiohead and the Pixies, sold for a whopping $405, almost six times its original value. Two weekend passes went for over $700, over twice their original value, and one pass is even listed for the ridiculous amount of $1 million dollars.
 
 The demand is so high that some fans have decided to even auction off their pre-reserved hotel rooms and their places at the official camping sites.
