Those planning to wait a little bit longer before purchasing tickets to Coachella this year will have to rely on acquiring tickets through different means.
The California music festival has already sold out -- and in record time. The tweet from the festival's Twitter account has the words "Thank You" and a link to a picture of the festival with the words "COACHELLA 2014 SOLD OUT THANK YOU" (see tweet below).
According to Consequence of Sound Coachella ran out of general tickets in 2 hours and 37 minutes, toppling the previous record of 2 hours and 57 minutes set in 2012.
The tickets went on sale today (Jan. 10) at 10 a.m. PT, meaning no more passes were available by a little after 12:30.
Last year's festival, which included headliners Phoenix, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Blur, sold out in 21 hours. Promoted by Goldenvoice/AEG Live, last year's fest won Top Festival honors at Billboard's Touring Awards grossing more than $67 million dollars over six sold-out nights.
For 2014, Coachella brought in Muse and Arcade Fire, as well as the newly-reunited Outkast, as headliners.
Coachella 2014 will be held over two weekends -- April 11-13 and 18-20 -- in Indio, Calif.
