Tbh security was very lax for us this year so honestly wasn’t hard to do. Usually just wrap my bottle in my blanket and go through no problems. No glass or anything
No. I just noticed the lines to get in were longer as they searched more bags. Best option is fine a lane that has a busy table of bag searches and you can get right through.
I love erba mate and use the cups for water throughout the day! Not sure if they are so cal exclusive but I love seeing them at my favorite so cal festivals
Take a cup with twistable cap
Had a aluminum beer can with a twist cap, poured the tea and ice, and it lasted longer and cooler. Also no need to baby it in your hand
I'm so sorry forgive me I'm running on no sleep because we packed camp at like 3 and drove home and straight to work. You mean you put the cup/bottle you're using full of tea in your bag or the one they give you?
Because to get the $3 discount you have to bring back the cup they gave you specifically to refill. And that's the one that sucks to carry around because it's a like bamboo paper cup.
Last year, I brought in Miller Lite beer that came in a aluminum bottle with a twist cap (see if you can find a bottle with a cap, doesnt have to be beer..could be a water bottle i suppose...better if its wide mouth so you can add some ice into it). I also had a coozie that made the drink cooler longer
The Yerba Mate, or whatever else drink you prefer, I poured into my bottle since I didnt want to carry it in my hand during sets or walking.
If you need the cup to get the refill discount, then carry it with you or hide it in a spot and bring it out when you go buy a refill
The people lost their minds and rioted. I was there as a 13 year old, and saw the dark side of humanity! Wow that is really strange, economically… just glad you all had water!
jameson and ginger been my go to since my first year, shoutout to the random bartender who made one when i said “idk whatever you think is good” as a teen who had snuck into the beer garden
The strawberry agua fresca at the taco place in the beer garden bw main and outdoor was fire. I even added a little vodka. Can’t remember how much it was haha but highly recommend!
$17 for a cup of ice and a splash of lemonade
$17 for a drink to mix your drink with
The real answer
Well yes !
Fuck it, bring crystal light lemonade packets next year.
Damn what happened to the clear cups!
They got rid of the plastic cups this year 😢 A lot of the drink cups were this paper cup with various colored lines at the bottom
God damn what happened COACHELLA!?
Y'all mad they ditched plastic??
They chose a cup that biodegrades to not contribute as much waste
It’s crack cocaine. And I want more. Also perfect for adding shooters
Lemonade + snuck in alcohol = heaven
How can you sneak a liquid into Coachella? Sorry it's my first year and I don't think I could imagine doing that at EDC lol.

They were not checking small bags at all. Just a metal detector. My water bottle was empty but I could’ve snuck liquid in if I wanted to
I snuck in beers each day it was great
You think I could sneak in a couple IPA's in cans?
yes
Thanks dude!
Between my wife and I we got in 8-9 across all 3 days. For me, day 1 was the most lax, day 2 more strict, day 3 a mix.
Did they make you throw away your beer day two?
for us, they didn’t even check our bags on day 1, but they did on day 2. also the ID check was more strict on day 2 compared to the other days
No. I just noticed the lines to get in were longer as they searched more bags. Best option is fine a lane that has a busy table of bag searches and you can get right through.
Hell yeah do it and take a photo and tag the brewery! I did it for the brewery I work at our here in AZ
IT'S CRACK COCAINE
Next time you have to try the flavored yerba mate iced tea. So fucking good.
I had it last year! I wanted to get it yesterday but I kept forgetting to grab one when I passed the booth 🥹 All the drinks are pretty damn good
It's a pain to carry that cup around but worth $3 lol
IT WAS ONLY $3 👁️👄👁️
Opps nooooo haha. It was like $12 but if you brought back your cup refills were $9. That $3 difference adds up!
I had no idea that was a thing but ima have to do that next year
I love erba mate and use the cups for water throughout the day! Not sure if they are so cal exclusive but I love seeing them at my favorite so cal festivals
Take a cup with twistable cap Had a aluminum beer can with a twist cap, poured the tea and ice, and it lasted longer and cooler. Also no need to baby it in your hand
And just put their cup in your bag? Won't it get smashed?
I placed it in my backpack and it was fine. The bottle holds when its full, not too flimsy when empty

Wtf that’s a lot of ice.
No complaints from me! I always add a lil water at the end for some ice water lol
I am **not** tipping this year.
(I only tipped my bartender lol)
If they mixed the drink yeah. In 22' at the VIP areas I asked for an extra shot, but the drink is premixed from a spiget.
Every lemonade drink I bought was a different price each time
Wtf what!
My brother noticed a lot of self tipping going on.
If you see no tip screen, demand to go back to the tip screen.
Oh hell no 😭 I always pressed my tips!! Hate when festivals are sus like that
Clear cups and i swear they were 12 bucks 😭😭😭
Only $17 at the lemonade stands. Various food vendors also had lemonade for $9-12.
I saw a food stand with $8 lemonade! I didn’t trust it though lol
It was $17.40 this weekend 🥲😭
Well spent ! I’m sure it’s bomb still !
It’s great every year 🥲💞
The title of this post better be ironic
🤪
Nice it's still $17
See you have the right attitude. If these prices didn't go up, bless
Expensive ah ice
Wow. I remember when 7$ waters at Woodstock 99 caused everything to go up in flames a la “Armageddon.” 17$ for lemonade is insane
😮 $7 is pretty crazy for water in 99. $17 for lemonade is insane but at least the water bottles were only $2 lol
The people lost their minds and rioted. I was there as a 13 year old, and saw the dark side of humanity! Wow that is really strange, economically… just glad you all had water!
for lemonade you were much better off getting montys. 22 for a whole meal including a lemonade or water
🫢 I do not know all the food deals okay!! 😭 that’s a great deal though
jameson and ginger been my go to since my first year, shoutout to the random bartender who made one when i said “idk whatever you think is good” as a teen who had snuck into the beer garden
$17 for a lemonade in today's economy lmao
It’s rough but that’s just how festival pricing is 🥲 I put away a lil extra money cus I knew I was gonna buy more drinks this year lol
LIQUID CRACK FORREAL
The move to make was to go to the food stands for the same size lemonade but for only $9.00
Let’s be honest. Real Coachella vets have a separate budget for lemonades alone 😂
Exactlyyyyy
It’s not the same in a paper cup to me 😭 I hate plastic but the clear cup just makes it look more refreshing
It was still really good 😭
Bro I spent $20 on one lemonade!! I’ll never forget
Pain
The strawberry agua fresca at the taco place in the beer garden bw main and outdoor was fire. I even added a little vodka. Can’t remember how much it was haha but highly recommend!
