So.
Coachella sold out. Their f'd up ticket concept apparently did exactly what they wanted it to do.
It's entirely possible that they lowered the amount of tickets available. Thing is, Coachella is a bellweather for the coming events for the summer and everyone sees this as a huge thumbs up, especially in these economic times. The idea that everyone is going to point at a lowered maximum as being sold out would be sucky.
I'm not sure what to believe. In any case, GoldenVoice looks like geniuses and we're still not able to go because of it.
However, I didn't come here for the whiny recap, I came to post this.
The Coachella Crane
A friend of ours did the lighting design. He has the flu so he might not even get to see it in the desert. Seems like an unlucky year all around.
