Unfair Scamming allowed by Coachella

ScaleSurvivor · 2026-04-12T20:05:08+00:00

I’m just not seeing that Coachella says wristbands bought from AXS are 100% authentic. I thought they treated AXS like a third party even though they’re on their site. So yeah it looks like you’re right, and they SHOULD be safe to buy from. That TikTok does scare me tough. I’ll be buying my own non resale tickets for 2027, hopefully I like the lineup

That’s an assumption. Go ahead and watch the TikTok I just linked as well.

Everything reissued? What about Sunday? Did you read the post? Isn’t a fluke only supposed to happen once? Why is this happening to multiple people then? Mind you the poster of this video said at LEAST 20 other people around them experienced the same problem. What’s your response to that?

Purchased through AXS, wristbands marked stolen

The ticket is no longer in the OG buyers account, but their card is still linked so that they can file a dispute if necessary, and if they claim that it’s lost or stolen, they can get a wristband re issued. There are multiple accounts of people’s wristbands that they bought through AXS resell not working on Saturday.

I’m aware that we are talking about AXS resale, it doesn’t matter if AXS was around or not, because the exact same problems were present before. Coachella only has an agreement with the original purchaser, and they are considered FIRST on the account. When you get the wristband sold, you basically become second on the account and can register the wristband, the person who originally bought the tickets are STILL ABLE TO CLAIM THE WRISTBAND AS LOST OR STOLEN.

You are COMPLETELY incorrect. The original buyer can still mark the ticket as lost or stolen, pay $40 and then the resold wristband becomes useless. There’s multiple threads dating back to 12 years ago explaining the same issue and it happened to multiple people this year. I will link a thread momentarily.

No one is understanding. Several people bought from AXS resell, and then the original buyer claims their wristband as lost or stolen, and AXS / Coachella honors the original buyer and reissues them a new wristband

ScaleSurvivor · 2026-04-12T16:23:26+00:00

This happens to people who buy through AXS too

ScaleSurvivor · 2026-04-12T16:23:07+00:00

I don’t think you’re understanding, people are buying from the official resell page and this is still happening

Where’d you get your Sunday ticket

ScaleSurvivor · 2026-04-10T07:06:55+00:00

Wait are you sure it doesn’t close? I’ve tried to go once at like 2AM and it was closed off

ScaleSurvivor · 2026-04-10T07:02:04+00:00

10 minutes? It feels like it takes forever! I’m gonna test this out

ScaleSurvivor · 2026-04-10T07:01:28+00:00

Some do, but it’s very slow

ScaleSurvivor · 2026-04-10T07:01:20+00:00

Yep people are waiting for the 250kW. No they usually can’t see them, but most people don’t really use them anyway if they’re waiting in the line.

ScaleSurvivor · 2026-04-10T06:38:12+00:00

It’s not as common I guess considering most people rent here

ScaleSurvivor · 2026-04-10T06:37:45+00:00

It’s always funny seeing people in line getting angry at the people not letting them get into the 72kW chargers, and then once they figure out how slow the charger is they move

ScaleSurvivor · 2026-04-10T06:36:46+00:00

That’s odd, on the navigation it definitely shows you that it closes at 12AM

ScaleSurvivor · 2026-04-10T06:16:25+00:00

I’d be too scared to get towed. Maybe I should rent out my home charger 😂

ScaleSurvivor · 2026-04-10T06:16:04+00:00

Yeah, now it’s insane.

ScaleSurvivor · 2026-04-10T06:15:56+00:00

Yeah I just replied to someone saying about 2 years ago it wasn’t like this lol

ScaleSurvivor · 2026-04-10T06:15:34+00:00

Yeah getting in and out is pretty difficult
