What is Head Trip? What to know about Coachella promoter’s new event
Goldenvoice, the promoter behind Coachella and Stagecoach, recently announced a one-off EDM festival called Head Trip coming to Indio in October.
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival sold out both weekends just three days after passes were released in the fall. But fear not, you can still get your hands on tickets.
Whether you’re looking to scream-sing “Man Child,” “Sorry,” “Provenza” or another Coachella 2026 artist hit, if you’re willing to pay the price, your dream can come true via the Coachella waitlist or verified resale process.
Read on to learn how the 2026 ticket process works, and get answers to your other burning Coachella questions.
Coachella Weekend 1 tickets
Looking for a way to see headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G and Justin Bieber in the desert this April? Coachella tickets are still available via resale channels, so here’s the best way to go about it.
The festival uses AXS as its official ticket resale platform, but you can easily access the portal through the festival’s website, coachella.com. On the homepage, click “Explore Waitlist & Resale W1” or “Explore Waitlist & Resale W2” depending which weekend you’re trying for.
As of 1 p.m. Tuesday, March 24, if you’re looking for Weekend 1 passes, AXS says general admission passes are available via verified resale — but it’ll cost you a pretty penny. The cheapest price for a Weekend 1 general admission pass at the time of this article’s publication was $941.25, and the most expensive was $4,189.19 (but there’s absolutely no reason to pay the latter).
GA passes with shuttle access verified resale prices range from $1,002.74 to $6,024 per person, and VIP Pass verified resale prices range from $1,757 to $5,647.50 per person.
Coachella Weekend 2 tickets
As of 1 p.m. Tuesday, March 24, if you’re looking for Weekend 2 passes, the AXS page is much of the same story as above. However, verified resale GA passes for Weekend 2 are much more affordable and start at $784.38.
GA passes for both weekends are available for purchase via the official Coachella verified resale (through AXS) until 10 a.m. PDT on Friday, April 10 — aka Day 1 of Weekend 1.
