Set to draw 150,000 people over the two weekends, Desert Trip is the fruit of the masterful booking skills of the promoters behind Coachella. While young revelers have driven a boom in festivals, Desert Trip has tapped into a more senior audience, so much that online detractors have dubbed it "Oldchella". Desert Trip sold tickets for up to $1,599 for three-day reserved seats with access to a premium lounge. Bongiovanni said that Desert Trip has proven to be an extraordinary success, with tickets quickly snapped up. But Desert Trip has raised inevitable questions of who from the rock pantheon is missing.
