Coachella has announced ticket prices for the 2026 festival with a clear price increase for Weekend 1. General Admission (GA) tickets for Weekend 1 now start at $599 (including a $50 service fee), compared to $549 plus fees for Weekend 2. GA tickets bundled with a 3-Day Shuttle pass are priced at $729 for Weekend 1 and $679 for Weekend 2.
This is a marked change, confirming that Weekend 1 commands a permanent price premium beginning in 2026. The new pricing has sparked mixed reactions: some fans express frustration over the increased cost—particularly following past camping issues on Weekend 1—while others speculate the hike signals a major headliner or extra perks for the first weekend.
Tickets will go on sale May 2 at 11 AM. There is a small volume discount of roughly 1.6% when purchasing four passes at once. Given the price gap, some attendees are weighing a switch to Weekend 2.
