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."

I'm guessing Charlotte Phillipp has a journalism degree from Harvard.

Why, that sounds like capitalism!

I thought Lefties hated capitalism?

The Masters’ food and drink is the same price as it was in the 50s. They should have gone to the Masters.

Hmm…I could see where that would be a problem. Did the gate workers pat visitors down? If not, I think I’d be good to go.

Disclaimer: I’m not adverse to paying a reasonable price, say $8 for a hamburger. But double that, and you’ve turned me into a food smuggler.

“And they paid $700 for the tickets to be there”

My CD collection cost about $700 and I have a very good one.

Sounds like Coachella is run by a bunch of Sanders/AOC’s oligarchists. It’s all about money and lies, lies and money.

These far-left Coachellans would never have made it at Woodstock. Bunch of silver spoons sissies.

I was at the US Festival in 1983 in Devore, CA (part of San Benardino).

Van Halen, U2, David Bowie, Stevie Nicks, Scorpions, and so many others over three days. We had to go back to the parking lots at night and get re-admitted for the next day.

I never got so dirty and smelly in my life. Many people were urinating in place and we had to slog through that.

Never again, though the music was quite good. This was sponsored by Apple so they had a lot tents with computers in them. Way before most people had computers at home.
