Coachella: All or Nothing

The Coachella festival planners have officially decided to scrap all single-day tickets. This year attendees will only be allowed to purchase a three-day ticket pass for $269. Hello, do they not know that people can’t afford to attend a music festival all three days? Time is money, and money is not something we all have. Sometimes it is convenient for us to just choose one day that has all that we are looking for.

In light of the forceful three day pass – they have decided to cut the camping fees from $57 to $55. Oh damn a whole two dollars!

So what is the reason behind all of this? Festival architect Paul Tollet says, “The single- and two-day people are clogging up the hotels and making it so people who want to go for three days can’t find a hotel.”

Clearly this isn’t a good enough reason for everyone else. Fans of the festival are fuming and won’t let this sit quietly, but will all their noise make a difference in the end? Who knows?
