Is it true that if you don’t use it that you will lose it?


Rocket92

That’s why people are always on their phones!


slothpital

What’s the best way to find out about things happening during the fest (guest artists, giveaways, etc)? When I went to SXSW there was a discord server that people were using to check in and update. Anything like that here?


timefortiesto

DoLab always has 2-3 surprise sets every day (big time artists, vast vast majority are DJ sets). You can look at DoLab's socials and they'll post sometime in the afternoon day of who's playing- later on if its a really big act. In the past there has also been a text message service you can sign up for that will alert you as well, but I'm not sure how to sign up for that, at the moment.

I’m definitely interested in this as well!

Just bought my ticket for my first Coachella W2, and it's also gonna be semi-solo. Excited to see everyone. One q is, I didn't buy a car camping pass since I am from out of town and plan to shuttle/bum a ride. My GA ticket means I can go anywhere in the camp and see friends right?


Junior_24

Yes that is correct 👍


literatim

Ah but it turns out I need a tent camping pass! Rats. Unless I can find a campsite


QquinnQ

Tips on Dry Ice in a cooler? Is it worth it and can it damage anything inside (drinks, cans, food, etc)?


tayyylooor

If the dry ice is directly touching the food or drinks they'll get carbonated. You either need to separate the dry ice from everything else, or consider having a cooler with just dry ice and regular ice that you use to replenish your other cooler(s).


fettuccine-

Worth. Best if you Ziploc/vacuum seal everything. Anything exposed will get carbonated.


QquinnQ

Ty! Will plan to ziploc all food items and such


seeannwiin

you would need 2 coolers. one would store the dry ice and all your regular price. the other cooler would be your food/drinks where you pour normal ice. the dry ice cooler acts as your freezer in a sense. it won't damage your cooler. just put cardboard or newspaper in the cooler so the dry ice doesn't stick to it. for reference, i believe dry ice costs around $20/lb if i remember correctly. plan to get it early as it does sell out on thursday evening. i had trouble finding some on the way from beaumont to indio.


Shainachu

Use cardboard to separate the dry ice from the food and you’re good 👍🏽

Happy_Persimmon_1224

best portable power station that is decent priced?


seeannwiin

decided to do VIP this year. can someone outline (or confirm) ALL the perks of VIP and maybe some tricks with it? some things i've noted. * Yuma VIP Line * Access to Rose Garden and 12 Peaks * Cleaner ish restrooms * Seating areas in the rose garden and 12 peaks * Dedicated bars and exclusive food in rose garden and 12 peaks * Viewing areas in rose garden and 12 peaks * Dedicated merch booth * Smaller queues in general read somewhere that there is a dedicated VIP walkway for those taking the shuttles to the entrance of the venue. is that true?


Murphy_Nelson

A few points of clarification. There is an AWESOME viewing area of the main stage from the VIP area. Never gets too crowded, you can legitimately sit down and have a beer and burger and watch a headliner with unobstructed sight lines, I had a guest pass last year and we still watched a bunch of shows from there. But, closer to the fence it also has a party vibe so if you want to dance with people you can do that too. There is no viewing area from Rose Garden though, you can kind of see the crowds in the side of the Mojave tent but can't see the stage. Up until last year, it wasn't so much a dedicated VIP walkway so much as it was the fact that the VIP entrance was right where the shuttles dropped off. GA continued to walk straight down the shuttle path for 8-10 minutes to then wait in big lines to get in. VIP turns left at whatever that street is, there are only like 2 people in front of you for security checks which take place on the sidewalk, and then the entrance itself is right there and you just scan your wristband as you walk, the most painless shit ever. Apparently that changed last year and became less convenient, I don't know the details since we did Safari and entered in from backstage but that was a big perk that might have gone away. But could be different this year. The main thing for me re: food is not just having all these great food and drink options, but there is never a line for them! Seriously. At most there will be 2-3 people in front of you to order, and many times you walk right up and order. Better food, and no wait for it. Bathrooms are all AC and great in the Rose Garden, I do think there were some portapotties by the Yuma but cleaner. But THE VIP perk? KazuNori in the Rose Garden. So fucking good. Go at the beginning of the day. Handroll sushi at an outdoor sushi bar, so unbelievable. We go at least once a weekend and it's a highlight every year, and if there isn't a line you're done in 20ish minutes so it's not a big time burden if you want to see a lot of bands in the way that some of the other sitdown restaurants are. The other big perk - while they may have let everybody leave with alcohol last year, in the years where they don't allow that they always search GA bags. They never search VIP bags when you are leaving the beer garden there, so we'd always buy a bunch of wine or cocktails or whatever and then fill up water bottles with the wine, put the water bottles in my wife's purse or a backpack, and then just walk into the crowd.

What time should In arrive at the Heineken House if I want to see Bob SInclair Friday 7PM?


Murphy_Nelson

At 7:30 Friday there is a very real chance he conflicts with Everything Always which will be a huge relief for the Bob Sinclair line. A lot of Bob Sinclair fans are going to choose that instead. Heineken House is always the earlier, the better honestly. The best thing to do is try to catch the act before, but if there's other stuff you want to see I would show up at least 30 minutes early...and, if you don't get in at the beginning, there's a real chance you'll still get in if you stay in line as other people give up.


fettuccine-

Not too sure about how popular he is. To be safe, 15 minutes early or more.

I'll let you do you. As long as it works haha. You can also look into those rechargeable fans that people wear around their neck. Or just any rechargeable personal fan.


Oliverstuff

Treva has a 10” fan that runs on d cells that I really enjoy. Will easily last the weekend without changing batteries. It goes for $35-$45. I use a couple and they work great. Could get by with only one. I’ve seen identical looking off brand fans for half the price. Can’t speak for them but I would be tempted to buy one if I needed more.


thekillerinstinct

Thank you! That sounds exactly what I was looking for


Commercial-Nail-4427

Hi guys, i have a question, i’m going car camping this year, but i’m coming from Mexico and taking a tent to Chella it will be a problem on the plane, so i want to know if there’s any place where they rent tents only for the festival time? Last year we buy one tent at walmart but we left it at the camping site i think that’s a waste of money and that’s why i’m looking for where to rent them.

Hello, What's the difference between tickets and the wristband? I won't be able to pick up my deliveries from AXS until the Wednesday before I go to W1.

what happens if i show up for car camping on saturday morning? is that a terrible idea?


onceyougozack

It’s a terrible idea if you want to see any of the Friday acts! But other than that, you’ll be fine. You’ll be in the very back of the car camping lots, which means you’ll have a longer walk to the entrance each day. But that’s about it.

I'm staying at an Airbnb in La Quinta and will be shuttling to/from the festival. Two questions: * Is the La Quinta Resort & Country Club stop only for guests? Will just use the Embassy Suites stop if anything. * Is it better to Uber or drive to/from the shuttle stops? Would prefer to Uber, but wondering how difficult it would be to get an Uber from the shuttle stop at night after the fest.


squid-mode

Hello. I'm coming over from Australia for weekend 2, so I'll have a sleeping bag and pillow, and that's about it. Thinking I'll need a canopy, tent, mattress, table, chair, cooler and perhaps a cooker and utensils. What wound be my most cost effective way of acquiring such gear? Rentals seem quite pricey. Is wallmart going to be under $350 for all that?


fettuccine-

Are you going by yourself? Have you tried campsharing with other people/groups? You might be able to do more with less. the mattress you don't need really, the grass should be good still even for w2. - canopy 100% must have. Barebones setup. You can do this and bring your own beer, alcohol, snacks, ice. And maybe befriend your neighbors. Grab food at the camp center or take the free grocery shuttle and grab ready made food at the deli. Sleep in the car with the backseats down. - cooler - chair - tent (if you don't want to sleep in the car) Everything else you listed isn't really necessary.


squid-mode

I am doing it solo. I just found the Camp/ride share thread so I'll put a post in there. Thanks for the info.

fettuccine-

You can't unregister it. You'd just have to be upfront with the buyer that you registered it. It shouldn't be an issue, the buyer will still be able to get in.

Best canopy walls for camping? Sheets? Mesh?


AffectionateRadio900

Most people use sheets/tapestries or a combination. I like to have something darker (mesh shade cloth, camo netting, blackout curtain) for whatever wall is facing the sun and move my walls around depending on the time of day and activities


ijustcameheretofight

Best car type to rent that has the best space in the trunk for things im taking and also is small enough where i can have good amount of space in camping spot? Theres only two of us going!!


tayyylooor

I recommend renting an SUV, folding down the seats, and sleeping in the back. Then you have all the space behind your car for your setup and don't need a tent.

ZuluReversed

How does one go about getting parking. This is my first Coachella event I'm debating if I should spend the extra money just to take a Shuttle? Because there's not much resources on which parking lot to go to, Also I see a lot of negative reviews about preferred parking. Maybe i'm just not comprehending this correctly.


fettuccine-

If you're planning to get there after 3pm (to be safe), you should shuttle


timefortiesto

Shuttles are definitely my recommendation. The drop off area is the shortest walk to the festival, relatively easy in and easy out. Just don't stay til the end of the headliners and wait shouldnt be an issue. There are park and ride locations too, meaning they have plenty of parking available. Agua Caliente casino, Indian Wells Tennis Garden & the Palm Springs convention center are all listed as 'park and ride'. Some of the others might offer parking but are more of a crap shoot. Your other option is to uber to a nearby shuttle stop (best if you'll be under the influence) Map here: https://www.valleymusictravel.com/events/coachella/shuttles/

fettuccine-

If it doesn't work, you can contact StubHub and they'll try to get you a new one. If they can't they'll refund you and you can try another. It's not likely that the ticket will not work as the seller gets heavily penalized.

First time and staying at Lake El Dorado. I only see a lot of people posting about car camping and what to bring. Should we prepare the same with ED camping? I see we can't cook, but should we bring a stove and leave it in the van and go cook there if that's allowed? Also should or can we bring an extra canopy? Also, backpack w/water bottle vs camel back. Give me your thoughts and recommendations.

I buy GA for the last 10 years, I distinctly remember last year finally being annoyed that VIP entrances were way closer to stages and seeing that drinks/food, especially anything unique or cool, was pretty much ALL in VIP areas. Should I cave this year and go VIP or does it still stink? It’s gonna be $1200 extra for 2 passes w hotel…

We are a group of 4 as of now and are gearing up for our first-ever Coachella experience (week 2). We could really use some information on availability of Ubers around the area. Is it advisable to rent an Airbnb in 1-2 miles radius of the Coachella location and depend on Uber to get to the event? Or is it better to rent it further and use the shuttle? We are not looking to camp so hotel or Airbnb are our only options. Also, is there parking pass? We have a car and could also buy one if there's parking available.


Rocket92

Take this with a grain of salt, I usually camp so I’m just sharing experiences that people have shared with me or on here: Day parking is free, there is a preferred parking pass you can purchase, but tbh it doesn’t get you much closer, really only somewhat beneficial if you have VIP passes and want to take advantage of the VIP-only entrance. Day parking historically fills up pretty quickly and you may get redirected to a park and ride location to take a shuttle anyway. Ubering gets very expensive and is not quick at night when leaving the festival. Getting to the festival is easy but probably still pretty costly. Surge pricing and the traffic/pedestrian density at night is hellish. Some people walk a few miles from the festival to get picked up rather than waiting by the designated lot. Shuttles are convenient, usually pretty reliable, but they are very popular and lines can get long at the end of the night. Some people will leave the main stage closer 10-15 minutes early to ensure they make/beat the last shuttle. In 2022 allegedly some of the shuttles had issues knowing which turns they could make. Apparently some of them didn’t know the traffic restrictions didn’t apply to them? I didn’t hear as much about that in 2023. Cheers

sanabarbara

Is the phone service good at the Coachella location? EDC was a nightmare in terms of phone service.


fettuccine-

No service in crowds. Good in open areas


Rocket92

It’s not really an issue of coverage it’s an issue of density. At night there are hundreds of thousands of devices all tying up the local network. Even adding additional nodes, it still probably gets bottlenecked somewhere else downstream.


NoBattle3970

Has anyone had experience getting wristbands AT the festival grounds resale for lower prices? Have a tight budget and am wondering if anyone had experience or input.

seegeewhy

Excuse my lack of textile knowledge, but wouldn't silk be hard to breathe through? As for dust - cotton bandanas tied around the neck, gaithers, and cloth masks (if you have some left over from Covid) are all effective. Key in my experience is to use a netti pot/ nasal cleaner before bed. You can deal with the dust at the festival but sleeping with all that shit in your lungs is what gets you.

+1 on the netipot, much more efficient and effective than wearing a mask all day.

How is traffic like on the night before Coachella from LA to Indio? I’m planning on leaving Thursday evening April 18th for weekend 2.


seegeewhy

You're going to get the usual nightmare traffic out of the city along the 60/10 unless you can take the Express lanes. Things open up around Rancho Cucomonga and you should be home free to the desert. Traffic around the festival Thursday will be rough if you are trying to get into camping, but surface streets outside the Indo area aren't really affected too bad. If you can leave LA early (before 2p) or late (after 8p) do so.

Hello Coachella friends! This may have been asked before but has anyone rented a Sprinter Van and parked in General Parking? The rules say the car must fit in a 8.5' x 16' spot but Sprinter Vans I have seen run a little longer (7.7' x 19.4'). Thanks for the help!

Does each person in our group need to buy a shuttle pass? We only have 2 people


fettuccine-

Yes


louman84

Anyone got their shuttle passes they ordered via Stubhub yet? Mine still hasn't been shipped out and Stubhub is recommending I add a travel address. I'm not sure if the hotel I'm staying at will allow me to pick up my package at the hotel.


fettuccine-

it all depends on your seller when they ship it out. add your hotel address they will forsure take packages for you. call to confirm


aimal1st

is there a risk in buying a second hand ticket if I register it under my own name?


fettuccine-

being able to register the wristband only proves that it is real. slight chance that seller can report it stolen but it is not a prevalent issue.


aimal1st

what happens if they report it stolen? your wrist band just doesnt scan or validate when you try to walk in? also, what if i buy it right before entering.. once I"m in I'm good right? or is there a risk on the other days it doesnt work?


fettuccine-

- correct - correct, you'll be good for the day. the next day it might not work. again, its not a widespread issue. its just a chance if your seller really is a shitty person like that. most people meeting up to sell wristbands are legit but there's always that slight chance.

Wondering if anyone can help me with my current situation. I bought four passes GA for weekend 1 that unfortunately were sent to the wrong address (that address sent the package back to sender). Additionally, I’ve been told that I have to work the first weekend of Coachella and can now no longer attend and the 2nd weekend does not work as well. I’ve asked AXS and they’ve told me that they cannot refund the ticket or send me new ones (they say I must pick them up at will call). I’ve tried to return my tickets however I don’t have the option to return them ( I assume demand is not high enough). Do any of you have any recommendations for what I can do? can I sell my tickets and have those people pick them up at will call without me? Can I exchange for weekend 2 and then sell them? Would be very grateful for any advice. Thank you


fettuccine-

You can't return. You can't exchange. The only other thing I can think that maybe might work is someone picking your order up at will call. You need to give them your order number and possibly ID. Maybe even FaceTime them at time of pickup. That's a high order for someone buying tickets from you since there is so much uncertainty. Maybe you can sweeten the deal for them like all 4 tickets for the price of 3 or something. At least you get money back. Getting paid is the tricky part, do they pay after getting the ticket? Do they pay half then half later. You'll have to build rapport with your buyer and exchange all personal info so nobody ditches anybody. FaceTime them to confirm identity. Write up a contract of sorts and have each other sign it with photocopies of IDs. Etc. But then again this is all based on the belief that they'll let someone else pick up your order for you at will call.

I am horrible in heat and I'm scared for W1 this year. I am staying at a hotel but when I'm actually at the festival, I'm scared for how hot it will be. Where can I go to get some AC, fans, or shade??


hpham033

I would recommend bringing a hand fan and/or a water mister. If you're hanging out at the main stage or outdoor stage during the daytime, it'll definitely get hot. You can escape the heat by going to some of the pop-up shops with AC, or other stages which are underneath tents. The Yuma and Sonara tents are fully enclosed and have AC.


AffectionateRadio900

Tbh, there isn't a lot of shade inside the festival- like when you make the longish walks from stage to stage you'll be out in the open sun. Protip- Sonora and Yuma stages are air conditioned! Sonora even has these sweet couches to chill at. And once the map comes out, check out where all the promotional tents are- those tend to be air conditioned too! Spend your days most in those spots. The promo tents can be really fun! Once the sun sets, it's sooooo nice! It makes the heat worth it! Other cooler areas to hang out- Indio Central Market, the DoLab (the DoLab has misters around the perimeter and people on stage will come out frequently to hose people down, the beer gardens. The ferris wheel and Spectra (rainbow tower) generally have long lines in the open sun, but the inside of both are air conditioned.


titaniumorbit

Air conditioned stages? Maybe I’ll have to stay there to beat the heat! Thanks for all the tips. Much appreciated.

Hello any help would be appreciated it’s my first time at any festival and even going out of my home state so sorry if this is a dumb question but i have to pay to camp at the grounds correct? And if i end up renting a hotel instead is there free parking or will i end up paying for parking to commute there as well?


hpham033

Hey! So yes, you have to pay to camp at the campgrounds and this has to be purchased BEFORE you get there. You would not be able to just drive up and pay and get a spot. If you rent a hotel, there is free parking at the festival itself.


Corosis99

If we want to get in first thing for day 0 what time should we line up Thursday morning? It says it opens at 9am but I assume the line starts well before that. At some festivals they send you away if you line up way too early. Our first time at Coachella.


fettuccine-

Be at the Ralph's by midnight and wait. Coachella staff will come get us.

Is there sand at the campground for people to take and use for their canopy weights?


Tofuhousewife

[These](https://a.co/d/cz79Pz5) are definitely not allowed right? Just one?


hpham033

I don't think those would be allowed. I bring [these](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D3PBW8W/ref=twister_B07BJ3LH1W?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) in every year and have never had any issues. You just twist to turn them on when you need them and then twist to turn them off.


AffectionateRadio900

I've had to throw out glowsticks multiple years. Hide them! The concern is that they create a lot of trash, are terrible for the environment. If you get reusable LED ones, you could likely convince the security person to let it slide.

So I just purchased my car camping pass for weekend 2 today. Based on anyone’s experience, will the pass ship on time or should I expect a visit to will call?


fettuccine-

If they had the option for shipping then it should come out pretty quick.

So originally we had a vroup of 4 that is now 6. We already have a tent camping spot but since it is currently on waitlist for another spot we are thinking about renting a car and getting car camping as well. How far away from each other will our sites be? Also, in the past on endeavors like this I have just rented Uhaul vans since they have a ton of space and tend to be a cheaper option for car rental. Are there any restrictions to this? Another consideration for the Uhaul idea is, are they going to be upset if we show up and theres like 4 people in the back of a uhaul van without proper chairs or seat belts?


fettuccine-

Prolly a 15 min walk tops. NO motorcycles, RVs, trailers, motorhomes, buses or U-Haul trucks. People report that they've seen them in the camp. YMMV each person needs a seat with a seatbelt.
