my personal tips and advice for coachella: - they will sell GA passes on the 12th and 13th via tiers, and your price just depends on when you get through the queue and when tiers sell out (ranges from ~$650-850) - they only sell the full weekend pass, not individual days - check flights too before making a decision! it’s spring break season during that time and people fly in from everywhere for coachella every year so flights may be pricey - most decent accommodations around the campgrounds will be expensive or already sold out so try to find hotels and book them now - look for accommodations around the palm springs area if you’re okay with commuting 1 hour to the grounds and 1 hour back - when searching for an airbnb, triple check that the accommodation isn’t only a campsite (people will sell a “campsite area” and it’ll be cheap but keep in mind it doesn’t come with a house it’s literally just land LOL) - you can buy a shuttle pass and use the shuttle at the selected hotels (just uber to those hotels if you can’t book a room there) - you can put down a small deposit for your passes and pay in weekly installments (i think it’s over a couple months) - all wristbands get delivered to you but may sometimes take a while (this year i didn’t get it until a week before the festival) - uber lines at the grounds is a nightmare - food is expensive at the grounds, a slice of pizza is $20 lol - vip isn’t worth if you’re there only for NCT, depending on the stage they perform at, vip sections are off to the side or in the back and you’ll end up in the GA section anyway for a better view - if you’re only going to one day and want to save some money, put your wristband on loosely and sell it to random resellers near the festival exits LOL (they are always there at the end of every night trying to buy it off you) - the dust is no joke and you can get respiratory issues for weeks, PLEASE WEAR A MASK!!! (coming from your close and personal infectious diseases pharmacist friend) - it’s the desert, it’s hot af during the day but cold at night please bring a jacket or blanket! good luck ticketing czennies! 💚
