A GA pass costs $349. VIP costs $799. “The price you see is what you pay — prices reflect all fees included,” Goldenvoice wrote in a press release.
Important information on the wristbands:
- A 20 percent down payment (or $69.80) is required.
- No refunds or exchanges.
- You can pay in full or create a payment plan for six months through December 2013.
In previous years, Goldenvoice held a similar advance sales in May. It then opened a second round of sales in January.
Details about any locals-only ticket sales have not been released and have not previously been released until at least January.

The Coachella website shows a hint about an announcement coming Monday.
Goldenvoice will make a Coachella-related announcement on Monday — and music fans can probably get ready to open their wallets for next year’s festival.
A picture posted to the Coachella website and social media accounts on Friday shows an artistic photo of Coachella with the text: “10 a.m. Monday.”
If history holds true, Goldenvoice will likely announce the dates for the 2014 festival weekends as well as an advanced ticket sale that could happen within days.
It was about this time last year — May 14, 2012 — that Goldenvoice announced the next year’s dates, then opened advance sales from May 17-24, 2012.
The Desert Sun’s music site — MyCoachella.com — will provide an update as soon as the announcement is made on Monday.

The Tupac Shakur hologram was the story of the 2012 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, so you knew it was just a matter of time before it caught on. It just took a little longer than expected.
The Rock the Bells festival will feature both Eazy-E and Ol’ Dirty Bastard holograms, rollingstone.com reported Wednesday. ODB will join his former group, the Wu-Tang Clan (which performed at this year’s Coachella), while Eazy-E will be alongside Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, a group he signed in the mid-’90s.
Rock the Bells kicks off Sept. 7-8 in San Bernardino.
