Sell Outs!

It appears as if three-day passes for this year's Coachella Festival have sold out. This is pretty insane news. I mean, the lineup was released about three weeks ago, and now passes for the entire weekend are snatched up. Usually, these passes don't go sold until probably March, even into April. The secret's out, though, as more and more people are getting wind as to how amazing this event is. Individual passes for Friday, the 27th, are still up for grabs, however.

One has to think that more tickets will be released as time passes. I just don't see how there's that much demand for this three-day thing that it's completely sold out after the lineup is announced for three weeks. In '04, tickets weren't sold out for the mind-blowing lineup that featured Radiohead, Pixies, Broken Social Scene, The Cure, Air, etc. until, I think, a couple of weeks before the festival (if it even was that much before at all). With Friday's tickets the only ones available, maybe Goldenvoice has taken note of previous complaints about how congested and packed with people the grounds were for the past few years. Who knows, but I don't think they're done.
