Thanks. I don't have a hotel or camping pass atm, so I'm debating which makes more sense to pursue
Trust me, if there's any chance you're going to camp, go ahead and get your camping pass during the reg onsale. you do NOT want to have to struggle to find one, especially since there is no guarantee someone elses will work for you since they say they're non-transferable.

Oh sweet, I didn't know they were going to release more. Thanks for the info
Well, yesterday they double charged the card I used, and didn't have enough to cover both. I called then and apparently they did it to almost everyone. The 2nd pending charge will drop, but the BS I've had to go through over this is kinda lame.

That's weird. I saw that they debited and credited my account for an incorrect amount on the 2nd, and then put through the correct charge the next day.
Why anyone wouldn't do the payment plan is beyond me. Unlike with bonnaroo there is no penalty involved.
I mean, if you can afford it right off the bat it's always better to just get it out of the way. But yeah, if you do the payment plan and tack on a camping pass, it's only like 8 extra bucks per month or whatever.

This type of crap is why I never do payment plans.

So you reject the ease of a low, monthly automatic payment because one time there was a minor glitch which was almost immediately reversed? I actually dislike the idea of payment plans because it just opens the door to that many more people trying to buy tickets (as opposed to restricting it to those who have the available funds at that moment), but I think it's a pretty well-executed system.
Also, I'd encourage everyone posting in here to make accounts on the Coachella board. Much better for getting answers and engaging discussion.

Well, that, credit cards expiring or otherwise needing to be replaced, or basically any snafu that requires customer assistance and could in result forfeiting your money and/or ticket. Dealing with customer service at ticketing companies tends to be a nightmare, and I want to limit my interaction with them as much possible.
But the real thing is, if I cant afford to pay off a ticket within a month or two, I probably shouldn't be going.

I could afford the ticket when they went on sale, but I would prefer to have that chunk of money sitting in my account and opt for the slow bleed. You never know what will come up.
I may jinx myself here, but I've never had a problem with a payment plan. And from what I've read Front Gate is extremely lenient with keeping people on the payment plan if they have a replacement/expired card problem.

I use two checking accounts for bills/spending and frequently ill dump all my cash from one to the other and many times my FrontGate charge has come through on the account while its empty and denied. They just wait a few days and try to charge it again, never had any issues.
But the real thing is, if I cant afford to pay off a ticket within a month or two, I probably shouldn't be going.
I agree completely. Making sure you need to advance the entire price of the ticket at the time of purchase would keep poor people and the obnoxiously young away from more festivals. It's a win-win. #capitalism

Frontgate has been one of the best customer service experiences Ive had any time Ive dealt with them. Transferring my ticket last year was easy and this year when my debit card was closed for a fraud charge and I completely forgot my payment plan payment for Coachella was on there, they were lenient with me not changing cards til after the due date.

If U2 releasing an album yesterday strengthens their chances of Coachella 2015, I sure hope it is not the first stop on the tour. I want to know how many songs they are playing from whatever that thing is that they just released before I choose between them and someone else closing out a stage/tent.
I really don't think it does. The hubbub is that they alread have a bunch of dates locked down at the LA Forum.
Christ that new album is shitty. The last couple, even though I wasn't into them, I could recognize the appeal. This one is just shitty.
U2 will do what's best for U2 financially. Having the highest grossing tour of all time means you have options. It also means festivals court you instead of the opposite.
Personally I would prefer them to do a string of shows in any venue with each highlighting a particular decade of their work. I am by no means a die hard fan but the 360 tour was a spectacle and a pleasure to be at.
Bono said back in January that he wanted to play Coachella. U2 could headline Coachella and still sell out multiple nights in LA over the summer. I think the timing could be right for next year and it would a huge coup for Goldenvoice to book one of the biggest bands in the world. For headliners I am going with

There are quite a few bands that I don't really want to see for no real reason, and U2 is definitely one of them. I'd be down for seeing Jack White again, but something with a little more edge than U2 and Coldplay would be much appreciated.

Please god, no.
I honestly can't think of a logical lineup prediction that is more horrifying.
