Serious question: if Coachella comes up with a lineup that is worse than last year* will it not sell out the presale next year or will it not even make a difference since it's the thing to do in April?
*lets say Sasquatch level of headliners, some rare bands that most people won't see, a few big name EDM guys and the rest the same basic stuff every other festival has.

The only people I know who've gone to a music festival who don't even really care about music have gone to Coachella. The place where I get my haircut have about 7 of the girls working there going. None of them knew any of the bands from last year. They heard about how fun it was from following celeb tweets.
As long as it's still the hot place to be seen I think the lineup will have little consequence towards this thing selling out.

Hahaha, Canadians.
The only thing I'm worried about is having to win a lottery to continue attending Coachella for the next six years. At this point, I hope the headliners suck.

At some point the cost/fun ratio has to get screwed up. The price of a Coachella weekend for an out-of-stater is probably more than a week in Mexico at an all inclusive resort. If you aren't going for the music eventually wouldn't people go for other options?
The amount of demand before a lineup is amazing, so one of two things is happening:
1. People know they will put together a great lineup because they have in the past.
2. People don't really care about the lineup and just want to go for the party.
I'd like to think it's '1' but I really have no idea.

I don't know about that. From Seattle to Cabo on 4/11 and returning 4/18, the cheapest All-Inclusive I could find was $1,207. I did Coachella last year for less than a grand.

Most people who bought a presale pass to Coachella did so for the same reason I did - because every year the lineup is awesome. There has not been a Coachella I would not attend because of the lineup. There are bigger parties and other places to be "seen." Coachella is Coachella because of the lineup, everything else hinges on that.
It will be great again this year, too.

First, it's Paul Tollett, second, (edit) you are correct.

You're a Canadian, silly. Canadian Air Travel taxes are crazy. When I fly to see FD, it is $150 - 160 USD, when I come back to Seattle from Edmonton it is $260 or more.
When FD comes to see me, it is $260 to Seattle and sometimes not much less to go home because he is a Canadian citizen. That's why I'm always up there.
EDIT: Just kidding. Coachella on the brain. But still, driving ain't as cheap as it used to be.

Well, you drive way further than me. It's almost as expensive driving to Edmonton as it is flying. I only have to drive 2.5 hours or so to the Gorge and I'm a spendthrift. Plus, I lose my appetite as soon as I enter any sort of festival grounds.
