$815 is the starting price on the official coachella resale site for Weekend 2 three-day general admission passes, as the festival is sold out. That leaves buyers with three concrete access routes: the festival's waiting list, the official resale market, or secondary sellers offering Weekend 1 and Weekend 2 passes at varying premiums.
Coachella Weekend 1 Resale $1,000
$1,000: On April 1 the official Coachella resale site showed Weekend 1 general admission three-day passes and GA with shuttle were hovering around $1,000, compared with the primary-sale Weekend 1 GA starting price of $649 in September. The result is a resale premium of about $351 over the original GA price, forcing buyers who need Weekend 1 access either to pay the mark-up or pursue the festival waiting list or third-party sellers.
Coachella Weekend 2 Resale $549
$549: When tickets originally went on sale in September, Weekend 2 three-day GA passes started at $549, a baseline that highlights how resale dynamics have altered market pricing ahead of the festival. The official resale listing for Weekend 2 GA and GA with shuttle opened at $815 on April 1, and secondary sellers are offering inventory as well, so buyers comparing options should weigh seller reputation on the secondary market against the festival's own resale offers and the waiting-list route.
Coachella VIP Resale Starts $1,130
$1,630: On April 1 the official site showed Weekend 1 VIP passes starting at $1,630, while Weekend 2 VIP passes started at $1,130—both above their September primary-sale entry points of $1,299 for Weekend 1 VIP and $1,199 for Weekend 2 VIP. VIP passes provide a dedicated entrance closer to what has historically been the yellow lot and ride-share dropoff/pickups, access to more exclusive food options such as the Rose Garden next to the Mojave Tent, and a view of the main stage from the 12 Peaks VIP area; VIP does not include special viewing pits near the stage and does not grant stage access.
April 10-12: Coachella 2026 runs April 10-12 and April 17-19 at the Empire Polo Club at 81-800 Ave. 51 in Indio, marking the festival's 25th year on the polo fields. The festival uses wristbands rather than hard tickets; set times are usually announced a few days before Weekend 1 (set times were released April 5 in 2025), so would-be attendees using the waiting list or resale should finalize travel and lodging plans quickly while inventory remains in the official resale channel or via vetted secondary sellers.
