sold out.

for anyone who lives in california... well southern california really, one of the major music festivals talked about every year is coachella. for many years coachella has been a huge 3 day festival filled with different types of music ranging from rock to hip hop to electro to reggae to ska. there's also plenty of dancing, alcohol, the strong desert sun beaming down, and of course, tons of food. up until last year the festival has always sold one day passes, so you can pick and choose what day you want to go. but this last year they sold a 3 day pass only. the empire polo grounds were competely filled with people all 3 days, selling out for the first time. this year, the line up was announced (a really good line up might i add..), people were stoked, and tickets finally went on sale. within the first day of sales, over half were sold - that's about 35,000 on day one of sales. four days later, for the first time, coachella has completely sold out - just 5 days after ticket sales. do the math... $320 per ticket times 75,000 tickets = $24 MILLION. and this is juts on ticket sales alone. well done goldenvoice, well done.


really incredible. maybe the line up really is just that good. i know i can't wait.
sahara tent all day & all night!!
