Coachella Attendees Stunned by Festival’s ‘Diabolical’ Food and Drink Prices: ‘Miserable Money Trap’
People ^ | 4/13/25 | Charlotte Phillipp

People attending the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival are stunned once again about the food prices — and many festivalgoers are turning to social media to highlight just how expensive everything is.

In videos shared on TikTok, Coachella attendees showed off what they ate and how much they paid for their meals or individual items.

TikToker Ruth Viveros shared in a April 11 video that she spend $102 for two plates of three tacos, a plate of loaded nachos and two lemonades, with each lemonade costing $17 per cup. "They’re not good, not good at all," she said of the tacos. "The tortillas are like freezing cold."

Aw poor babies, that's what you should expect from a 21st century Woodstock.

And a question how were 300,000 people fed at Woodstock in 69? Especially with the marijuana munchies being so prevalent.

Yeah but surely it was worth it to listen to Bernie lecture them about the oligarchy

I’ve only been to one festival like this. It was the Heat Wave festival in 1980. Punk rock and new wave acts. I don’t recall the food to be honest but I guess it was passable. The show itself was excellent from my perspective. Happy memories. Ticket was $20 canuck bucks. Still have the stub.

As my Hungarian grandfather used to say, “If you don’t like the price of the tacos, bring your own damn tocos.”

Well, okay. He didn’t say tacos. He said gulyás (goulash). But it’s the same idea.

That’s why most hippies were skinny. No bread for munchies.

By today’s standards, those items aren’t outrageously priced at such an exclusive event. The problem seems to be the inexcusably poor quality.

These people have the same complaints every year, but keep coming back for more.
I’m surprised some independantly wealthy Generation Z(?) member has not tried to start their own version of Coachella, maybe 30 miles away from this one.

He would have affordable transportation available from the sleeping areas to the entertainment places. Refreshment at reasonable prices, selected and paid for in advance if you want to. Clean , gender specific (Male or Female) restrooms and shower stalls. Security guards always in low key circulation or on speed dial for emergencies. An Urgent Care Clinic nearby too.
Places to park your car and pay for a few days of storage.
Etc, etc. Someone is going to try it.

You mean Bernie did mention the ‘price gouging’ on food there?

Makes sense: A festival with demonic acts charges diabolical prices.

And they paid $700 for the tickets to be there, so WHY are they complaining? They seem to have money to burn.

The prices are no different than going to a Saints game on Sundays at the Superdome.

Entitled Californians who dress like homeless slobs (photos at link) listening to crappy formulaic ‘music’ in an environment similar to modern day Syria with astronomically priced food and drink.

No thanks.

Bernie serves the oligarchy because they forced him to do unmentionable things and now they own him.
