Speaking of that, it's pretty insane that acts that are 2nd or 3rd on the Coach lineup routinely get 50-minute sets. That is not nearly long enough. For any of you who've been, does that take away from the shows much?
This is actually a big reason I stayed away from Coachella as long as I did. And surprisingly, it doesn't detract from the shows at all in my experience. If anything there is less filler and the shows are more intense more quickly.
It's also hard to be upset about a short set when you have at least a dozen others you're looking forward to in one day.
Agreed with this description. Another perfect example of how Roo and Coachella are different, but both formats have their perks.
Coachella I just end up running around seeing act after act, Roo is a little more paced out and chill, but I get to full sets by acts I love. It's a toss up, both are great.

I don't know, I couldn't get into the shorter sets. I guess it's cool if you're only going to check out a little bit of everything, but I prefer Roo's longer and much more immersive sets.
The amount of people on Facebook and Twitter who claim they are selling their tickets because there's no Skrillex, Deadmau5, etc. only proves to me that GV knew what they were doing.
Also, the tickets left for purchase are either GA + Shuttle passes or GA + Camping. Estimates are that there's MAYBE 24K tickets left total. They sold between 130K-140K in the presale. That's just insane.
I have been very curious on what the after-market is going to look like this year. I was estimating that prices would be lower because scalpers probably over-estimated the demand with the presale. Without the big headliner draws, I figured there would have been a surplus in the after market.
There are currently about 2,200 tickets listed for sale on stubhub. That's only 1.6% 1.7% of the presale allotment if your estimations are correct. I think I was wrong.
I went to check out the stubhub prices, and found this gem

I'm still really bummed about RHCP. I wasn't totally amped for the Stones, but it still would have been my only chance to see them. It would be nice to finish the fest with a show all the people I'm traveling with will enjoy. Unfortunately I don't see them turning into huge Nick Cave fans between now and April, and unless Prydz leapfrogs Pretty Lights on the schedule, I don't see a closer that I'm really excited about.

Actually, with the way the lineup is right now, I would assume Pryds will be closing the Sahara, not Pretty Lights. Of course, past tendencies be damned, who knows what the schedule will end up like, so no promises.

They really could not have screwed up Sunday any worse if they tried. It's a good thing Fri/Sat are absolutely stacked, but to end the festival with one of the worst days I've seen in years is just such a bummer.

I think Sunday is my least favorite as well, but it still has Nick Cave, James Blake, OMD, Disclosure, Jessie Ware, Rodriguez, Tanlines, Dinosaur Jr., Roni Size, Grimes, La Roux, Vampire Weekend, and Dead Can Dance!
I like Sunday. Tame Impala, Jessie Ware, La Roux, Tanlines, Grimes, VW, Jeff the Brotherhood, Disclosure, Dead Can Dance, Eric Prydz, and Father John Misty to name a few.
I'm just beginning to explore the unknowns so I'm sure I'll be adding more to the that list.
