ACL Fest advance tickets rise to $160
By Michael Corcoran | Sunday, April 5, 2009, 03:08 PM
Apparently, Pearl Jam ain’t cheap. The lowest tier of three-day passes to ACL Fest Oct. 2- 4 in Zilker Park will be $160, which includes all service charges. Once an undisclosed alotment sells out April 7, when tix go on sale at 10 a.m., the next tier’s pricing will go into effect. It’s not yet known what that price will be.
In 2007, advance tickets started at $120 for three days. Last year the early bird price went up to $135. Three-day passes have sold out at least a month before the festival in the past two years. The Zilker Park capacity is 65,000 per day.
Last year’s top price for three-day passes was $170. If past patterns are followed, this year’s top tier looks to be headed to $185- $195.
In the worst-kept secret since Metallica’s SXSW showcase, Pearl Jam is expected to be announced as the ACL Fest headliner on April 28. Beastie Boys, Dave Matthews Band, Kings of Leon, Levon Helm and Ghostland Observatory are other names confirmed by an ACL Fest insider.
