After two years of pandemic-related cancellations, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, more commonly known simply as Coachella, is returning to Indio, California this April. This year’s festival will take place across two weekends: April 15 through 17 and April 22 through 24, and will be headlined by the performers Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Ye (aka Kanye West) and Swedish House Mafia.
Prior to the pandemic, Coachella was one of the biggest music festivals in the country, drawing nearly 100,000 festival attendees per day back in 2018, according to a report from organizer Goldenvoice. Following the release of this year’s official Coachella lineup, the remaining tickets sold out in a little over an hour, setting the stage for what is likely to be an exciting return for the festival. But if you’re looking to attend this year’s Coachella, you’re in luck, because some resell tickets are being sold for less than listing price, so you can snag yours right now at a major discount.
Who is playing Coachella this year?
The lineup for Coachella 2022 also includes Phoebe Bridgers, Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, Danny Elfman, Doja Cat, Run the Jewels, Carly Rae Jepsen, Vince Staples, Japanese Breakfast, Disclosure, Brockhampton, Girl in Red and more. Keep reading to find out how you can find last-minute tickets to the musical festival of the year.
How much are tickets to Coachella 2022?
Shortly after releasing the lineup for this year’s Coachella music festival, organizers had already declared weekend one sold out. The going rate for passes to weekend two, prior to fees, started at $549 for a general admission pass, $633 for a general admission pass with shuttle access and $1,119 for a VIP pass.
Weekend two passes swiftly sold out following their release on January 14, 2022, but are still available to purchase on ticket resale sites such as Vivid Seats and Ticketmaster. Some passes are currently being sold for even less than they were originally purchased for, so if you didn’t think you could afford to attend Coachella this year, think again.
