Looking for Coachella, Stagecoach tickets? Locals are in luck with special sale

It's no surprise that tickets for this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival went fast, especially with a reunited Rage Against the Machine as a headliner.

But if you were shut out and you're a Coachella Valley resident, you have another opportunity to buy a ticket. Locals can snag passes for both weekends of the festival, taking place April 10-12 and April 17-19, as well as the Stagecoach country music festival on the following weekend, April 24-26, during a special sale.

Coachella lineup: Travis Scott, Frank Ocean and Rage Against the Machine headline

Stagecoach lineup: Thomas Rhett, Carrie Underwood and Eric Church to headline

Date Festival: George Clinton, Vanilla Ice, Banda Machos and more to play

Here's how it works:

Coachella Valley residents can now submit requests for Coachella Weekend 1 and Weekend 2 and Stagecoach, event producer Goldenvoice announced Monday. The requests will be randomly selected and screened prior to approval. Once an order is approved, you'll receive an email with payment and pick-up instructions.

A Goldenvoice spokesperson declined to say how many of these tickets are available.

There is a four-pass limit per weekend per resident, while supplies last. You need to be a Coachella Valley resident to purchase passes.

Residents must pick up their passes at will call on the Wednesday prior to the event. Passes are wristbands that will be placed on the wrist of the resident purchaser and their guests upon pickup, and your guests are required to be present.
