For many who have waited a good long time for the Coachella tickets to go on sale, the day is finally here. Tickets went on sale this morning via Ticketmaster, online and by phone. No official count yet on how many tickets were sold, but with a line-up like they have for the three-day festival, you can bet these tickets will go fast. (here is a promo code on the tickets page that allows you a one year 'free' subscription to Spin magazine when you purchase the three-day pass).
Here are some friendly reminders to think about before you throw down $250 for the tickets. If you are only planning on going for one day, single day passes are $85 a pop and usually sell out faster than the three-day tickets.
If you are planning to camp on the site near the festival entrance, there is an additional $45 per day camping fee, plus all kinds of restrictions and regulations (this is not Burning Man folks).Or, if you want to stay at an accommodation near the camp grounds, be ready to dish out (at the least) $200 a night (even for one star motels!!).
Take note that Coachella is not any Woodstock '69 either. It is a commercial event. So all you hard-core-hate-capitalism folks (yeah!) may want to skip this one, or just listen to the webcast, which we will stream from right here on IRC. You also cannot bring any glass containers, booze and a whole bunch of other things. (Info: See links below for details).
You should be prepared to be searched, and will probably see some people turning around to leave after the security people at the entrance take away their weed and whatever else they think they can smuggle in. The word on the grapevine is that there will be feds at the festival, so be careful and discreet.

Note: Stay Tuned to IRC as we will releasing fresh band and artist profiles of many of the artists that are scheduled to play at the festival.
I'll also update you on ticket sales, changes and updates. IRC is working on publishing a cool and comprehensive package that will include line-up changes, MP3s, band profiles, news, discussions, video, streaming audio, podcasts and a live web cast from the festival!!! So bookmark IRC with the bookmarklets below and/or subscribe to the IRC RSS feed.
