Coachella kicked off its first weekend on a excessive notice … managing to rack up a grand whole of $0 in curfew fines, which appears to line up with what number of tickets had been nonetheless up for grabs.
A rep for the Metropolis of Indio — the place Coachella takes place — tells TMZ … no curfew guidelines had been damaged throughout the first installment of the pageant, and everybody caught to the 1 AM curfew for Friday and Saturday … whereas shutting issues down by midnight on Sunday.
In different phrases … there was no purpose to high-quality anybody for going over on time — and contemplating the lackluster response to this yr’s lineup … we suppose that is sensible.
Truth is … there have been TONS of Coachella passes that had been available for this yr’s occasion — regardless of having offered out in years previous — and now that we all know all of the music acts had been in a position to begin and cease on time kinda speaks to that.
Looks as if it was fairly boring and all by the guide, which we’re certain Metropolis officers are joyful about on their finish. The extra folks there are … the tougher it’s to settle everybody down.
It was the other final yr … as we reported, curfew violations in 2023 (for Weekend 1) resulted in a complete of $117,000 in fines — with a every day high-quality of $20,000 being issued for the primary 5 minutes previous curfew, and one other $1,000 being added on for each minute thereafter.
Clearly, classes had been discovered for organizers to fine-tune their scheduling to avoid pricey overruns this time round. In 2022, the curfew fines racked as much as $61K whole for the three weekends of music (2 weekends of Coachella, and a weekend of Stagecoach).
That wasn’t the case in 2024, a minimum of to this point anyway … this is hoping they maintain it that means!
