Why is nobody buying Coachella tickets?
Coachella ain't what it used to be. Despite tickets for the arts and music festival going on sale a week ago, they're largely still available for both weekends. Compare that to 2015, when tickets sold out in a mere 40 minutes. Many people have offered up theories for why the music festival is seemingly generating less hype this year.

two years ago I got a free vip pass, and STILL ended up paying $2k out of pocket for airbnbs, hotels, food and transportation. It's not worth it!! the tickets are just the beginning.
I lived in Palm Springs for eleven years and was able to attend the first two. Attendees were largely fans that would attend regular concerts. Now it’s mostly trust fund kids that attend so they can brag on social media and wooks that are just there for the controlled substances.

Just from the news videos one could tell they were not "regular" young adults. And I took a look at the prices and that alone tells one who is attending. I can't afford that plus transportation, meals, souvenirs and I would want to camp, but my guess the facility has no quiet time. Restaurants will be overcrowded and food atrocious and any lodging will be at premium rate. And I don't even know any of the "so called artists." Hard pass. Take a couple nice little mini road trips and save thousands of dollars.

The problem with this festival is that people and celebrities made it a must be seen festival then an actual music festival. Also, some of the lineups lately have been terrible but that’s my opinion. Coachella has been trying their best to move with the times can’t hate on it but something is clearly lacking and hurting the festival these past 14 years.

Stupid waste of money. I would advise socking away as much money and supplies as you can, things are going to get very tough for a while and there may come a time not to far off when you'll kick yourself for wasting $700.00 that you may desperately need. Don't mean to be a downer but it's best to be prepared.

Too expensive. I'm old enough to remember when Goldenvoice was doing indy and punk shows, they're just another livenation/ticketmaster now.
Because the line is terrible-has been for years. Overpriced for garbage artists. And lastly and mist importantly, I do not want to spend a bunch of money, drive down to SoCal, to spend a weekend surrounded by a bunch of insufferable "influencers" who walk around with a camera vlogging everything. Overall, the crowd that goes to Coachella is just beyond insufferable now.

Coachella has been too damn high and not worth the time
Coachella has been played out except for that one time right after the Pandemic was lifted. Prices have soared at stays because they assume each year will be as expected. However, the same attendees that once spend that kind of money no longer can afford to splurge. The venue lost its luster. The artist lineup isn’t the only major factor.

I thought about including that! Had to cut for time… but you’re so right.
I wish I could have gone last year. If they could have gotten the exact lineup this year they would have been fine.
I've never been to Coachella, but I was how it ised to be a Indie music summer festival. Now it's just a bunch of entitled celebrities/influencers who took over.
I was able to purchase the tickets back in June 2023 for this year's Coachella so that is why I'm going. (plus i do like the performing acts that are on the list, check them out!) but to give some context or perspective to why a good amount of people are NOT buying... I was laid off right before the new year so i definitely would not be comfortable with a $600-1200 ticket...the industry affected were the tech, entertainment, etc divisions so thank god for the payment plan starting in June 2023, COACHELLA here i come!
It’s really cool and i want to go, but id rather use the money for something else like camp flog gnaw later this year
I always wondered why anyone would.
People have brains now
What's a doga cat 😅
Lol right. 😂 Not the grass!
Because John Summit is playing
People react odd off of boredom just wait people will buy last minute
The people that attended recent events were cringe AF.
i'd rather go to local festivals than this mess
They stream it online now
They allow way too many ticket sales for this event, and it is now uncomfortable to go to COACHELLA🎉. You can’t bring any seating there’s no room to sit on the grass and by weekend too the place is a dust bowl at least by the time stagecoach comes, you can bring chairs and sit comfortably at the event. 14 hours on your feet at Coachella is a long time even for young people.
Just sold out couple days ago
I’ve always seen it as more of a landmark post for people on IG. It’s played out now and the newer generation will create the next trendy destination to demonstrate social proofing.
Coachella festival sucks.The tickets food and drinks are waay to expensive the band lineup sucks and there's to much fuckery going on at this festival.I'd rather go to cali roots festival in monterey california than waste my money and time at cochella festival.Pluse cali roots festival is much cheaper it has a way better band lineup good food and drink prices and several stages to see your favorite band play from.If your into reggae music and good ire vibes than this festival is for you 👍👍💚💛♥️
It's too expensive with not enough provided amenities
It’s to expensive I looked cause I wanted to see Ateez but it’s ridiculous for pricing.
Coachells needs to book Ye.
The Vegas Sphere is the reason. When U 2 performed and the new tech I knew it was going to blow Cochella out of the water. 2 billion dollars worh of new tech. People want to go to experience something new. Until that blows over if it ever blows over Cochella will still get the crowds but not like it used to be. I'm comming to the desert later this year and I will still support Cochella when it rolls around in 2025 . Gotta keep it alive. Each location is a different type of experience.

You can’t hold a huge indoor festival in the sphere like the size of Coachella. 😂 Coachella is like half a million people
1) It's expensive. 2) It's expensive to fly there if you're not in L.A. 3) It's expensive to stay near the festival grounds. 4) It's 2 hours from L.A. by car if you want to stay in L.A. and drive there each day. Summary: Too much $$$$$, and a PITA. No thanks. There are better ways to spend your concert dollars.

Don't know who any of these "artists" are . . . The prices? Hard pass. Lodging, premium rate - no. Restaurants? Overpriced and garbage. Too much $$$$$ for nothing.
