how much were coachella tickets

Coachella 2026 tickets launched with tiered pricing that varies by weekend, pass type, and add-ons like shuttles or bundles. Weekend 1 generally costs more than Weekend 2, reflecting higher demand for the first run.

Official Starting Prices

These are presale and advance rates from Goldenvoice, Coachella's organizer, as of late 2025 announcements. Prices rise in tiers as inventory sells out, plus fees around $50–$130 extra.

Pass Type| Weekend 1| Weekend 2
---|---|---
General Admission (GA)| $649–$699| $549–$599
GA + 3-Day Shuttle| $779–$829| $679–$729
GA 4-Pack (per pass)| $639–$589| $539–$589
VIP| $1,299–$1,399| $1,199

Payment plans start at $49 down, with monthly splits through February 2026 (plus $50 fee).

Past Years for Context

Coachella 2025 tickets followed similar patterns but were slightly lower at GA launch (~$499–$599 Weekend 1/2), hitting records with 198,000 sold. Prices have crept up yearly due to inflation, star lineups like Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G for 2026, and add-ons like camping ($140+). Forum chatter on Reddit notes many fans used plans to afford ~$550–$700 totals post- fees.

Buyer Tips from Forums

  • Act Fast : Presale hit May 2025; general sale followed lineup drop. Tiers sell quick—Week 1 often pricier.
  • Resale Reality : SeatGeek shows secondary at $955–$1,077 now, way above face value.
  • Multi-Viewpoints : Fans gripe about hikes ("Tier 1 gone in minutes" ), but others snag 4-packs for value. Speculation: 2027 could top $700 GA if trends hold.

TL;DR : Expect $550–$1,400+ depending on type/weekend; check Coachella.com for live tiers.
