GN'R at Coachella 2016 confirmed! Including news articles

[andreq]

Do you guys know how these Coachella tickets work?  Both my nieces will be at Coachella and have their tickets. Not sure they are going to watch GNR.  I'm 2 hours away and could only go for the night getting there around 7-8.  Would then have to come back right after the show.  If my nieces dont use their tickets Saturday night, could I use them?  I doubt it...

It's armbands with RFID chips in them. They likely "fuse" it on at the first entry.
If there is enough play, you may be able to slip it off and on.

Reunions are big business for everyone.

Regardless, let's hope the guys still are in a creative headspace.
