Killer Rabbit Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I believe it's Southern California, SF is more Bay/Central area, so they're able to play there. Oh! I didn't know that. But the post I quoted made it sound like they couldn't play in the whole of the state (which is clearly not the case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mine_by_me Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 :dance: Got a three day ticket!! There are so many bands I want to see I think I'll probably have to miss out on some - it's insane how good this line up is!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrnut21 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 just bought camping! just to ensure that we have it, will buy tickets in the next few days. I can't believe I am going to see Muse play a huge festival, my life will soon be complete. And being the last US show (i think) hopefully they will smash everything up at the end of the set! Cant wait for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altrocker1807 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I really want to go to this, but I can't bring myself to click "submit" to purchase the tickets (even on layaway). Plus, there's travel and accommodations (either hotel or camping) that still needs to be figured out. *yikes* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.jingles Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 You missed Jay-Z and Gorillaz. I don't think they are worth mentioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingDreams Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I don't think they are worth mentioning. +1 I keep reading the lineup. Every time I do I die a little inside. Sooo many amazing bands! :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkin fightuse Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 i understand the hate on Jay-Z, but Gorillaz? imo their on the same level of musical creativity (maybe even higher) of Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeper McSexyPants Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 So anyone going? I might be able to go and camp for all 3 days... I have no problem seeing Jay-Z, and if the people I go with don't there are plenty other bands to watch whilst he plays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyelm Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Do you guys think 15 is too young for coachella? Because I got tickets as a late christmas present, and I have a guardian with me. Would people be cool, or would they belittle me, simply because I am only a teen? Also, Im REALLY excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. I'm 16. I have heard Coachella is basically where everyone in the world stores their illegal substances and uses them all up in 3 days, besides that, I think people are genuinely kind. Who knows, my first time too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprefan Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Sorry kids, no single days being sold. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2010/01/coachella-2010-say-goodbye-to-single-day-tickets.html Interested in what Jay-Z and only Jay-Z will bring to the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival? Better make a weekend of it. This year, Coachella promoters are doing away with single-day tickets and offering only a $269 three-day ticket, a move, Goldenvoice leader and festival architect Paul Tollett said, designed to help enhance the experience for three-day pass buyers. In cutting the single-day pass -- it is not available now, and there is no intention to make it available closer to the fest or even at the Coachella gate -- Tollett stressed other changes to this year's three-day bonanza of music in the desert. Camping prices have decreased, down from $55 per person to $57 per slot, regardless of the number of campers you can "cram into the spot," according to the festival website, and Coachella has added in-and-out privileges. "I understand that every time you make a change it’s great for some people, and it’s not great for others," Tollett said. "The other festivals around the world that have camping, you can buy only the pass. You don’t buy the single day -- Bonnaroo, Glastonbury, any of the super great ones." But this decision wasn't based on me-too-syndrome. Tollett noted that the vast majority of Coachella attendees spring for the three-day pass. Since Coachella expanded to three days in 2007, Tollett said that more than 80% of concert-goers have bought multi-day passes. Cutting out the single-day, $99 ticket may result in alienating a number of fest-goers -- a financially sizable 20% of Coachella fans. But Coachella, Tollett said, is a three-day event, and his goal is improving the experience for those willing to spring for the mutli-day ticket. Limited hotel rooms in the area, Tollett said, factored into his decision, as well as improving the daily traffic around the festival. "The thing is," Tollett said, "there’s a lack of hotels in the Coachella Valley, and most have a three-day minimum. Many times what happens is people get a hotel for the three days, and only go to Coachella for one or two of the days. They hit Friday and Saturday, and go home or rest at the hotel on Sunday. That’s no problem, but the problem with that is that there are people who want that hotel and are going for three days. The single- and two-day people are clogging up the hotels and making it so people who want to go for three days can’t find a hotel." The move has its detractors. The Coachella message boards are filled with angry fans, including those visiting from out of town for only a day, or those who don't want to spend the $269-plus service fees for the full ticket. An email to "info@coachella.com" generates an immediate auto-response, with the note that only three-day tickets will be available for 2010. For cost-conscious fans, Tollett emphasizes that Goldenvoice is once again offering layaway tickets, hopefully easing the financial strain. "We’re really trying to make it great for the fan," Tollett said. "We understand it will affect some people who want to go for one day, but we have to protect the three-day people. It was a complex decision. We put some thought into it, and we’re trying our best to make it a good experience." Those who purchase tickets on the day-of, Tollett said, will likely find pro-rated rather than single-day tickets available. -- Todd Martens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostycakes Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I'm roadtripping it from southeastern Virginia to Coachella in April. I may be stopping at the Vegas date as well but still undecided. IF you're anywhere between here and there (or between Vegas and there) and would like a ride, I have anywhere from 1-3 spots available in my car depending on when/where I pick you up and if my friend comes through on me or not. All I would ask is for you to pay equal shares in the gas for the part of the trip you are with me on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuffitv3 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 So I guess nobody here seems to want to go to coachella very much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyelm Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 So I guess nobody here seems to want to go to coachella very much anymore. Dude, there's still some other LEGIT bands playing on the other days- Thom Yorke, MuteMath, MGMT, Spoon, Julian Casablancas, Them Crooked Vultures. It would def. be worth it if you like those bands as well as muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to Coachella during your big extravaganza of a trip? I really wish I could. I die a little inside everytime I look at the line-up. How surprising that two of my FAVORITE bands are headlining and I can't go. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeper McSexyPants Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I was really looking forward to it, but I was expecting only a single day pass for the day MUSE played. But, you know the whole ticket fiasco, shit's expensive so I can't go either... :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuffitv3 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Ha I was just joking around cause it's been pretty quiet for what I think would be a pretty popular thread. Anywho Ive decided I'm gon go if I have the money like a month before. I'm not worried about it selling out. Also I'm waiting to see if the give in and sell single day tix. But yah there are some other bands id like to see though its still hard for me to justify going friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I'd have to pay for everything even though one of them said he'd buy my ticket. Can't accept. He and his friends have a hotel already. Two other friends have a camping site. I'd just split with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
