Coachella 2025 is right around the corner, and there’s still time to plan a trip. Here’s how to score last-minute tickets, parking, lodging, and more.
Coachella’s Weekend 1 kicks off on Friday, and this year’s edition of the much-beloved festival features headliners Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, and Post Malone. Other performers include The Misfits, Missy Elliott, Charli XCX, Megan Thee Stallion, Japanese Breakfast, and many more set to play in the California desert.
While passes for the first weekend are sold out on the official site, there are still ways to get your hands on Coachella passes before this weekend. In some cases, fans are securing tickets at below face value.
Where and When is Coachella?
Coachella 2025 takes place across two weekends. Weekend 1 runs Friday, April 11, to Sunday, April 13. Weekend 2 runs from Friday, April 18, to Sunday, April 20. Both take place at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, California.
How Do I Get Tickets to Coachella?
The best way to secure tickets for Coachella’s first weekend is through the secondary market. StubHub still has three-day passes available, as well as single-day passes for those who have a tighter schedule to work around.
This week, Vivid Seats and StubHub have had three-day general admission passes going for around $700. Single-day passes for Weekend 1 are going for between $700 and $900, while one-day passes can go for even more. For this reason, it can actually be more cost effective to grab a three-day pass — even if you’re planning on leaving early.
For those looking to save more cash, Weekend 2 passes on StubHub are going for less than face value, in some cases. Three-day passes for Weekend 2 are going for around $550, with single-day passes at around $700. VIP passes are still available for both weekends, starting at around $1,100.
While Weekend 1 is often packed with more special guests than the second weekend, there aren’t too many differences between the two. But every day of Coachella is unpredictable, no matter the weekend.
What About Lodging or Camping?
StubHub also has plenty of camping passes available, for those who can’t (or don’t want to) snag a hotel close to the festival grounds. For those who do have a hotel booked, there are lots of shuttle passes available to make getting in and out of the festival grounds a breeze.
What About Parking at Coachella?
General parking at Coachella is free, and parking lots open at 11 AM daily, with gates opening around 1 PM. Those departing Indio on Monday after the festival would be wise to leave in the morning — or after 5 PM — to avoid the crazy post-Coachella traffic.
Where’s the Coachella Livestream? — Enjoy Couchella
If you’re not headed to Indio and want to enjoy the Coachella experience from the comfort of your own home (Couchella, anyone?), YouTube is the official livestream partner for the festival. Both weekends will be streamed on YouTube, and there’s typically a feed for each stage so you can switch between them.
Which artists will be streamed at each stage across both weekends will be announced before the festival kicks off this weekend.
