Ah, yes. It's that time of year again. Festival season is among us. While we continue to brave the cold across North America, we're comforted by the thought of mosh pits and Red Bull slowly creeping up the horizon. In those daydreams the behemoth of Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival may come to mind, but for most of us, that reality may never come to fruition as passes for both weekends of the festival have already sold out with reports indicating that tickets were gone within a matter of three hours.
What's even more impressive is that the General Admission passes, going for $429 a pop, managed to sell out within a little over a half hour. It was on January 5th that tickets officially went on sale, and as fans virtually lined up for their chance to get their hands on the coveted ticket to seeing Eminem, The Weekend, and Beyoncé headline a colossal lineup, most were subject to the dismal message on the official website right now.
