Coachella starts today, and don’t be sad you’re stuck watching the livestream on YouTube. Being there in person can ravage your body and your bank account.
A survey of 2,000 festival-goers found big events like Coachella are so physically taxing, 78% leave them feeling dehydrated and exhausted.
This weekend could be even worse, because it’s expected to be HOT. The temperature at Coachella today could hit 103 DEGREES. (!!!)
62% said they also don’t eat great at festivals and just rely on whatever they can grab fast, 49% end up regretting their food and DRINK choices, and 58% think festival food is overpriced.
Speaking of money: Tickets for Coachella started at $599 this year. (!!!) That’s just for Weekend 2. Passes for this weekend were $649, and they sold out.
And that just gets you in the door. It doesn’t count things like parking, shuttle passes, flights, or accommodations.
According to “Billboard”, around 60% of people with general admission tickets used Coachella’s payment plan system this year.
