Those planning to wait a little bit longer before purchasing tickets to Coachella this year will have to rely on acquiring tickets through different means.
Arcade Fire, OutKast, Muse To Headline 2014 Coachella
The California music festival has already sold out — and in record time. The tweet from the festival’s Twitter account has the words “Thank You” and a link to a picture of the festival with the words “COACHELLA 2014 SOLD OUT THANK YOU” (see tweet below).
According to Consequence of Sound, Coachella ran out of general tickets in 2 hours and 37 minutes, toppling the previous record of 2 hours and 57 minutes set in 2012.
The tickets went on sale today (Jan. 10) at 10 a.m. PT, meaning no more passes were available by a little after 12:30.
Last year’s festival, which included headliners Phoenix, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Blur, sold out in 21 hours. Promoted by Goldenvoice/AEG Live, last year’s fest won Top Festival honors at Billboard’s Touring Awards grossing more than $67 million dollars over six sold-out nights.
For 2014, Coachella brought in Muse and Arcade Fire, as well as the newly-reunited Outkast, as headliners.
Coachella 2014 will be held over two weekends — April 11-13 and 18-20 — in Indio, Calif.
