That's right kids, the California music festival has already sold out -- and in record time.
Fans were left wanting after an official tweet from the festival organisers read "Thank You" and a link to a picture of the festival with the words "COACHELLA 2014 SOLD OUT THANK YOU".
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.
