Coachella Festival sees slowest ticket sales in 10 years

Coachella Festival sees slowest ticket sales in 10 years

One of the nation’s largest music festivals is suffering from low ticket sales. Coachella tickets went on sale on Jan. 19 and for the first time in a decade, reports SF Gate, tickets for the festival’s first weekend are up for grabs.

Here’s a quick look at the numbers, according to SF Gate. From 2014 to 2022, tickets sold out in a window ranging from just 40 minutes in 2015 to slightly more than 4 hours in 2022.

As of January 23, Coachella 2024 ticket sales have fallen behind 2023′s sluggish sales, and tickets for the first weekend are still available at the second of the three price tiers, which means plenty of passes are still available.

SF Gate says Coachella’s 2024 lineup is one possible explanation for the slowdown.

“The bill, featuring headliners Doja Cat, Tyler, the Creator, Lana Del Rey and No Doubt, has left some fans feeling underwhelmed,” writes SF Gate. “But this isn’t a new complaint for Coachella, and it hasn’t kept fans from fighting for tickets in the past.”

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is on two weekends in April. This year, the festival runs from April 12 to 14 and April 19 to 21.
