Some go into debt for a car, an apartment, or studies. And then there’s Coachella, with 100 bucks for a taco. Here are the “devilish” prices you’ll have to pay if you go to this giant Disneyland for stars and wannabes.
Coachella is not for the faint-hearted. In other words, if you’re sensitive about your wallet, this place will be hell for you. Because everything from transportation to food, concerts to camping, costs an arm. Or a kidney, depending on which organ you prefer to sell to buy a precious ticket among the stars and influencers haunting the California desert for two weekends.
And prices skyrocket to stratospheric levels once the festival begins: resold tickets go for about $4000 or $6000. While initially, prices were around $649 for the weekend (which is already a pain in the behind, it must be said).
Coachella relies on its luxury camping concept to squeeze money out of festival-goers. At the height of luxury, the “ULTRA” glamping options at the Safari Campground include a yurt for four people, priced at $41,000.
You thought you could console yourself with food? Think again. The menu shared on the Coachella subreddit displayed a price of $23 for a vodka Red Bull and $17 for strong spirits like Absolut vodka, Jameson whiskey, and Malibu rum.
Last year, a festival-goer went viral after spending $64 on cucumber water and two burritos for breakfast.
