Coachella 2011 Sold Out Already

That was fast! Exactly one week after the 2011 Coachella line-up was announced and tickets became available, the three-day music festival is now sold out. If you didn't snap up your tickets, stay tuned to the Huffington Post for our usual epic video and photo coverage of the event (see Day 1, 2010), or torture yourself now by flipping through our list of the top 10 bands appearing at this year's festival.

And for all you dreamers out there who are thinking of flooding Coachella's inbox with heartfelt pleas to be let in the gates, the festival has sadly/snarkily already tweeted "no, we don't have any passes left to release, kthxbye. " Looks like diehard fans will have to be vigilant, scanning Craiglist and other sites for scalped tickets. LA Weekly has a screenshot of the first Craigslist post to go up after the tickets were sold out, but the notice has since been taken down.

damn scalpers. they need to do something about their ticket purchasing system so the actual fans can get out there and enjoy this. this year's is one of the best festival lineups i've seen in recent years.

As much as they try, these promoters are always outfoxed by the ticket agencies and professional scaplers. This year, we read that agencies enlisted hundreds and hundreds of kids to order tickets in bulk...and then they'll start showing up on the secondary market, at a big mark-up. No one seems to be able to figure out how to stop it.

Last year the overcrowding was out of control (and, at times, really scary), but they're adding a new entrance and 10 acres of festival grounds this year. I'm bummed that I didn't get my tickets in time, but we always try to lock down hotels/flights first. It looks like the absence of single-day tickets this year screwed us.

I'm tired of trying to get tickets to major events even If you're in line on the very day the tickets are sold.By the time it's your turn everything is sold out in minutes.

Lol. They'll have showers there. Free wifi, farmer's market and *gasp* sanitation as well. ;)

I'm one of the many people that stopped going to Coachella. Unless you are right next to the stage for the act you want to see the noise from the other stages always ends up interfering. The crowd is enormous and I would rather pay for tickets to six other shows for the money. You end up missing half the acts that you would like to see because they are scheduled to play at the same time as two other acts that you would like to see.

Wow, what's up with all the complaining about it sucking from people who don't want to go?

"I'd rather buy tickets to my own lobotomy."

Well, the truth is, those of us who have fun at Coachella are the ones that could probably make a good time of your lobotomy as well - as others have said - It's what you make of it. On that note - everyone in our house got their tics and we're looking forward to our annual trip to the desert - see you there!
