The initial weekend of the Coachella Festival has concluded, with plans for the festivities to resume next weekend, scheduled for April 17-19. Attendees are expressing surprise at the high costs associated with participating in the event.
Tickets for the renowned music festival in the Californian desert range from approximately $800 to over $2,000 per person, depending on the ticket category and additional features. These prices exclude expenses such as travel, lodging, and food and drinks within the festival grounds. Consequently, many attendees rely on purchasing food and beverages available at the event, as bringing outside food is not permitted.
To shed light on this issue, a British festival-goer named Angelina has shared her experience of the exorbitant prices she had to pay, including for a simple bottle of water at the festival. Angelina’s video highlighted the high costs associated with purchasing basic items at Coachella.
During the video, Angelina showcased the bustling festival area and proceeded to purchase a bottle of water from a food truck. The cost of the water bottle was $8, which increased to $8.70 with tax included. Angelina humorously mentioned adding a tip, bringing the total to $9.
Subsequently, she visited the designated water bottle refilling station, where attendees could refill their bottles with tap water. After tasting the water, Angelina praised its quality and humorously rated it a perfect ten.
The video sparked discussions in the comment section, with varying opinions on the price of the water bottle. Some viewers questioned the necessity of paying for water when refills were available, while others considered the cost reasonable for unlimited refills. The Coachella website clarified that attendees could bring their own empty water bottles to refill at no charge.
Overall, the debate surrounding the price of water at Coachella reflects differing perspectives on the value and convenience it provides to attendees.
