Coachella 2027 runs April 9–11 (Weekend 1) and April 16–18 (Weekend 2) at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The advance sale opened May 1, 2026 at 11am PT via AXS — and sold out in under 3 hours, before any artist was announced. Tier 1 pricing started at $599 for Weekend 1 GA and $549 for Weekend 2 GA, with VIP from $1,299. Here’s the full price breakdown, what the fees add, and how to still get a pass now that the advance sale is gone.
How Much Are Coachella Tickets 2027? Full Price List
Coachella uses tiered pricing — each tier sells out, then the next (higher) tier opens. Weekend 1 costs $50 more than Weekend 2 at every tier. Prices below are the advance-sale tiers (plus service fees):
| Pass type | Weekend 1 (Apr 9–11) | Weekend 2 (Apr 16–18) |
|---|---|---|
| General Admission | $599 → $649 → $699 | $549 → $599 → $649 |
| GA + 3-day shuttle bundle | $729 → $779 → $829 | $679 → $729 → $779 |
| GA 4-pack (per ticket) | From $589 | From $539 |
| VIP | From $1,299 | From $1,249 |
| Shuttle pass (separate) | $150 | |
| Car camping | $160 total ($40/night + tax) | |
On top of the pass price, expect service fees: around $50 per GA pass and $130 per VIP pass. The advance sale also offered a payment plan — $49 down, then monthly installments through January 2027 — which is the cheapest way to lock a pass early without paying in full.
GA vs VIP: What’s Worth It?
- General Admission gets you three full days of music across all stages plus access to the campgrounds. For most attendees, GA is the whole festival.
- GA + shuttle is the smart bundle if you’re staying off-site — it saves roughly $20 versus buying the $150 shuttle separately, and parking near the Polo Club is limited.
- VIP adds expedited entry, preferred parking, shaded areas, air-conditioned restrooms, premium viewing spots near the main stages, and bar access (drinks not included). It does not guarantee pit access.
- Weekend 2 is the value play — identical lineup, $50 cheaper at every tier, and historically slightly thinner crowds.
The Advance Sale Sold Out — How to Still Get Passes
The May 1 advance sale moved entirely on the festival’s reputation — no lineup had been announced, and it still sold out in under 3 hours. If you missed it:
- Official AXS resale. Coachella’s official resale channel is the safest secondary option — passes are verified and reissued in your name.
- Major resale marketplaces. Resale listings appeared on StubHub and Viagogo almost immediately. Expect to pay above the advance-sale price; resale prices sometimes soften closer to the event, but Coachella rarely gets cheap.
- Watch the lineup announcement. The lineup typically drops between September 2026 and January 2027. It won’t create new primary inventory, but it does shake loose passes from buyers whose plans change — resale supply often ticks up right after.
- Verify before you buy. Coachella passes are frequently counterfeited. Buy only through official or guaranteed resale channels, and read our sold-out event guide before paying a stranger.
Budgeting the Full Weekend
The pass is the entry fee, not the total cost. A realistic Coachella budget per person:
- Pass: $599–$699 GA (Weekend 1) or $549–$649 (Weekend 2), plus ~$50 fees
- Camping: $160 car camping, or $420+ for preferred options
- Shuttle: $150 if not bundled
- Accommodation: hotels and Airbnbs in the Coachella Valley spike hard for both weekends — book the moment you have a pass
- Food & drink inside: festival pricing; budget $75–$100/day
All-in, a GA weekend realistically runs $1,200–$1,800 per person before flights. Thinking of selling instead? See how Coachella resale works.
