Stagecoach tickets for locals go on sale Wednesday

Coachella Valley residents will get a chance tomorrow to land passes from a special allotment of tickets made available for locals hoping to attend the sold-out Stagecoach country music festival, which begins Friday.

As with similar events held before each weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, residents will be allowed to line up beginning at 3
p.m. to buy a maximum of two passes from the festival box office, located at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden box office.

In all, 1,000 passes will be sold, at a cost of $269 each. Sales will begin at 5 p.m. and continue until 10 p.m. or while supplies last. Each of the wristband passes, which are non-transferable, will be placed on the buyer’s wrist at the time of purchase.

Coachella Valley residents must show proof of residency with a government-issued identification, and guests must be present at the time of purchase.

To qualify, purchasers must live in zip codes including 92201, 92202, 92203, 92210, 92211, 92230, 92234, 92236, 92240, 92241, 92253, 92254, 92255,92258, 92260, 92261, 92264, 92270, 92274, 92275, 92276 and 92292.
