Via: BillboardIf you dilly-dallied on scoring your Coachella tickets, I've got bad news: You've missed your chance. In a first for the annual festival, tickets have sold out more than two months before it's set to kick off on April 27. You can chalk that up, at least in part, to this year's lineup, which features reunion performances from Rage Against the Machine and the Jesus & Mary Chain.
Rumors have swirled that the festival might be moving from its current location at Empire Polo Field in Indio, California. Paul Tollett, co-founder of Goldenvoice (which books the festival) says that isn't true. Part of the reason, he says, is because the company has committed to a second festival at Polo Field: Stagecoach, a country -music festival.
"There are rumors about that whole area being developed for houses and golf courses," he says. "We said we'd make this commitment to them, but please don't make houses here, and it worked."

this bullshit is caused by the fact that people are so willing to get ripped off by scalpers. if fans displayed a modest amount of discipline and refused to pay scalpers for tickets, there would be no market for them. oh well.
