I’m guessing it depends on the event and where you live, but yes, for the most part.

sounds like hell to me. no thx

“Resell News” posting that like I’m gonna resell nuggets at coachella

paying tens of thousands of dollars to sweat molly out in a desert filled with obnoxious people

In 1969, tickets to Woodstock cost $18 in advance and $24 at the gate. That's $160 and $215 respectively in today's money. About 60% of people who showed up paid nothing because the organisers f***ed up and couldn't build fences/ticket booths in time.

not coachella but back in 2013 i paid like $30 and i got to see Queens of the stone age, crystal castles, porter robinson, Nas and a bunch of other s*** it's crazy how concert prices got out of control

tbh coachella isnt terrible relative to other festivals if u plan ahead. if ur camping ur allowed to go in and out of the festival. If ur not camping eat beforehand and you can bring in small protein bars if they ask about it theyll allow it if you mention a medical condition (diabetic, etc). water is $2 for an aluminum bottle and they have multiple refilling stations

u can easily sneak in alc their security tends to be laxer than outsidelands and ive never had an issue bringing it in to both. splurge on a lemonade or something and u have a mixed drink

def true tho feels like theyre pricing has skyrocketed more than others. weekend 2 always has the better crowds and is less crowded, this year seems to be an outlier. ur usually able to buy tickets for well below face W2

This is why I’ll always push Dreamville Fest as one of J Cole’s crowning achievements. Black centric festival that was relatively affordable in a destination that was abnormal compared to other festivals

2023 Coachella was worth it

hope you had a great time, personally its just very not for me

Seeing Robert Glasper jam with his muse totally hyping him up in the sweltering heat

Bjork’s drone show

Calvin Harris doing a Takeoff tribute

Normal people are being priced out of everything lol

whats the not resale cost

More recent example: a ticket to Coachella 2010 (first Coachella without single-day ticket options + similar number of tickets sold to 2026) cost $270, which is about $410 in today's money.

General admission to Coachella 2026 cost around $600, so that's 46% above inflation, without taking into account the growth of the resale market and VIP tickets (which did exist in 2010 but appear to have become more desirable due to enshittification of the regular ticket experience)

doesn’t even matter when bots just grab all the original items to resell for more

$600 general admission, $1200 VIP

oh no the caviar is $100+ !!!

well people are paying for it anyways

Caviar was relatively cheap and abundant in the USSR. Communism wins again.

$17 for a coffee is incredible

The d**** you sell there pay for your ticket
