I bought passes from a "friend" (scalper, third party, some dude off Craigslist that I'm telling you is my friend). How can I verify that they're valid and will work?

Only passes you originally purchased through Coachella’s official ticketing partners can be guaranteed as valid.

Do not buy passes from an unauthorized 3rd party or scalper. We will not offer customer service, authentication or support for any passes purchased through any unauthorized 3rd parties. You will only know that your third party pass is valid when it successfully scans into the Venue EACH day. Activating a wristband does not guarantee the wristband is (or will remain) valid for all three days.

Scalped passes are subject to cancellation at any time without warning.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (65) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (66)

Can I give my pass to a friend? How?

Sure! Hand your package to your friend when it arrives or change your shipping address to theirs (it will still have your name on it though so please alert your friend). Make sure your friend registers their own wristband. Tell them to follow the directions in the package.

(You will still show up in our records as the original purchaser. That can’t be changed.)

Please note: If your package is unable to be delivered for any reason whatsoever, you, the original purchaser, will be required to pick it up from the Box Office as no alternate Will Call pickups are allowed.

Why are the prices sometimes higher than face value on the Fan-To-Fan Exchange?

There are often far more people trying to buy passes than there are passes available. When that is the case we sometimes have to pay over face value to fans returning their passes.

Can I bring family to the camping area?

What defines a legal guardian?

A legal guardian is a person who has the legal authority and corresponding duty to care for the personal and property interests of another person, called a ward. Usually, a person has the status of guardian because the ward is incapable of caring for his or her own interests due to infancy, incapacity, or disability.

Most countries and states have laws that provide that the parents of a minor child are the legal guardians of that child, and that the parents can designate who shall become the child’s legal guardian in the event of death.

A legal guardianship is obtained through court order, and the legal process for doing so is initiated by the prospective guardian.

Please note: An older sibling, older friend or friend of the family does not automatically count as a legal guardian. A legal guardian is someone who would be held legally responsible for you by a court of law. Generally, a legal guardian is the one who takes care of the minor when the minor’s birth-parents are no longer living, in jail or have lost their legal rights.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (214) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (215)

Will you explain the locker deposit?

Let’s use the Medium Locker as an example. The ticketing company charges $65. You bring the scannable ticket to locker check-in.

When you return the combo lock to us you immediately receive $10 cash back. Your net total cost for the Medium Locker for three days is $55. You’ll leave the festival with $10 in your pocket – gas money for the drive home

Just give the combo lock and your mobile ticket to one of us and we’ll scan you out and hand you a $10 bill. No forms, no IDs, no complications. Sometimes there’s a line, but it moves fast, and it won’t take long to get your money.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (218) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (219)

Maybe. There is a limited supply of lockers – and all of them are available online right now. Every locker will probably be reserved online before the festival begins. No one knows for sure. If the lockers sell out online, as they have for the past 9 years, there won’t be any lockers available to rent at the festival – unless someone cancels at the last minute.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (230) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (231)

If someone had a locker at a previous festival, will the same combination open my locker this weekend?

No. You set your own combination.

Here’s Why:

All locks are removed from the lockers and returned for the $10 deposit at the end of each festival. All combinations are re-set to “0000”. The locks are placed in a bin and one is chosen at random when you check-in. You then personally create your own four-digit code for your Lock.
