Ticket fever hit hard during the recent T-Mobile presale for the Austin City Limits (ACL) Music Festival 2025. One Reddit user from r/aclfestival shared their nerve-wracking experience: initially picking Weekend 1 tickets by mistake, then swiftly switching to Weekend 2. Weekend 2 tickets seemed perpetually held in others’ carts, but after about 20 minutes of refreshing and persistence, they scored their coveted Weekend 2 ticket. Their official confirmation screenshot fueled spirited community chatter, echoing many fans’ "rollercoaster" buying saga.
Meanwhile, the frenzy claimed its first victim—Saturday tickets for Weekend 1 (October 4, 2025) officially sold out. Fans reported instant sell-outs on tickets for this day, confirmed by live Reddit discussions and screenshots. The scramble to grab general admission passes for that day was intense, with many refreshing repeatedly but coming up empty-handed.
ACL 2025 is set for October 3–5 and 10–12 at Austin’s Zilker Park, boasting a lineup headlined by Sabrina Carpenter, Hozier, Doja Cat, and The Strokes. As demand remains sky-high, festival-goers still on the hunt are advised to monitor official channels closely for potential ticket drops or resale opportunities. Quick reflexes will be key to securing a spot at one of this year’s most anticipated festivals.
