The annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is almost here, and festival-goers still have a chance to get tickets. Headliners Lana Del Rey, Tyler, The Creator, and Doja Cat are among the many highly anticipated performers scheduled to appear at the Indio, California festival. With just over a week until the festival starts, we've put together a guide on how to get Coachella tickets for the best prices.

The 2024 festival comes after a bumpy couple of years, where headliners like Frank Ocean and Kanye West pulled out either before or mid-way through the two-weekend festival. In the past, original standard tickets for the festival have sold out in a matter of hours or sometimes days, but ticket sales this year were slower at launch than they've been in the past ten years. So, if you've been hoping to get your hands on some tickets, this might just be your chance.

We've got you covered when it comes to how to get Coachella tickets for the 2024 festival. Here's everything you need to know about the Coachella dates, purchasing details, and original and resale ticket prices. You can also check out the available resale tickets on StubHub and Vivid Seats as you please.

Coachella 2024 schedule

Coachella 2024 takes place over two weekends, April 12-14 and April 19-21. Tickets are traditionally sold per weekend, not per day. Tickets for shuttle passes and camping passes are also available (and sometimes included in resale ticket listings, so make sure to read the fine print).
