If that turns out to be the case, then I'll just dump the camera and the pass and forget it (I'm not relying on the pass as entrance, just permission to bring my camera). But considering the nature of the event, I don't imagine it will be like that, exactly.

Word is the Fingerprints in Long Beach (along w/Glass House in Pomona) will be selling 3-day tickets sans ticketmaster fees ($285 total) starting Friday 10AM

Ack, ack, i just dunno. i wanna go. but sometimes i feel 'no.'

[CoasterMatt]

Hey GD - PM me about press credentials and camera use at concerts

3 day [resale went on sale today at 10:00 Ticketmaster. Go to Ticketmaster.com, search for Coachella, enter password: Desert.

Actually, once Ticketmaster is done with its raping, the price is the same as the Fingerprints price ($285). And if you want to print your own tickets instead of having them mailed, it'll be a couple bucks more.

But it's still $20 off full price + TicketRaper and you don't have to be in Long Beach or Pomona.

Haw haw, CP and I came to the same conclusion. Though we went to MySpace and we also happen to enjoy their music (what is it about a British dude doing spoken word over electronica that's almost universally awesome?!)

[innerSpaceman]

eh, and .... nope, not going. can't afford. sigh.

One of these years it'll happen when I don't have travel plans the following weekend.
