The 2019 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival will take place April 12-14 and April 19-21 on the grassy fields of the Empire Polo Club in Indio.

Advance tickets go on sale Friday at 11 a.m. online at coachella.com. As usual, the advance sale comes before a single act for the 2019 festival has been announced and only “while supplies last,” which is typically only a matter of hours..

This year’s sold-out edition of Coachella drew a capacity crowd of 750,000 — 125,000 per day over six days — with 20 percent of the attendees coming from San Diego County. The lineup was headlined by The Weeknd, Eminem and Beyoncé, who will perform Sept. 27 in San Diego with her husband, Jay-Z, at SDCCU (formerly Qualcomm) Stadium.

General admission three-day Coachella 2019 passes are priced at $429 per person, with a two-ticket per customer limit, and can be obtained on a layaway plan that allows you to pay incrementally.

Festival pass and shuttle combo packages will cost $504 per person.

VIP passes are priced at $999 each, while preferred parking passes cost $150 per weekend.

Car camping is $125 per space, as is tent camping. New this year is a preferred car camping option, priced at $325.

Those who wish to splurge can opt for a two-person Lake Eldorado Tee-pee package, priced at $2,458, which includes two general admission tickets, parking and a tee-pee-styled tent. A four-person Lake Eldorado Tee-pee package costs $3,316, while a two-person Lake Eldorado Teepee package with two VIP passes is priced at $3,600 and a four-person Lake Eldorado Teepee package with four VIP passes will cost $5,600.

Those who really wish to splurge can opt for the two-person Safari Tent package for $9,500. It includes VIP passes, fully furnished, air-conditioned “glamping-style accommodations,” golf cart transportation to the venue, a private adjacent parking, an air- conditioned lounge, on-site spa and concierge services, private restrooms and showers, complimentary Wi-Fi and “so much more.”

The Safari Tent packages are only available through valleymusictravel.

And for those who really, really want to splurge, the Coachella Platinum Estates option provides 10 people up to five nights in “a private, luxury estate” — adjacent to the festival grounds — with “up to 6 comfortable bedrooms, a private pool and Jacuzzi, fire pit, complimentary Wi-Fi and bicycles.” Also included is a kitchen “fully stocked with appliances, cookware, and food and beverages of your choosing, plus a cleaning service.”

Assuming there hasn’t been a price increase since this year’s festival, the cost for the Coachella Platinum Estates package, including VIP passes, is $110,000.
