People who attended Coachella last weekend were completely shocked by the festival’s food prices.
Ruth Viveros, a U.S. influencer, said she spent over $100 on a lunch that consisted of tacos, nachos, and lemonade last Friday (11), during the festival’s first day.
In a video posted on her TikTok profile, Viveros praised the $17 lemonade and admitted she had already gotten her second cup, totaling $34 spent on lemonade alone that day.
She also bought a taco combo, which included five tortillas filled with meat, onions, and sauce, as well as a plate of nachos. The full portion, including the two lemonades, cost her an astonishing $102.
Although she complimented the lemonade, she admitted she didn’t like the food very much. “They’re not good, not good at all. The tortillas are cold.”
In the post’s comments, users were stunned by the prices. “These prices are diabolical,” said one commenter. “Coachella seems like a miserable financial trap everyone falls into,” noted another. “It’s literally the worst festival of all time,” a third person added.
Other users took the opportunity to point out that the cheapest Coachella ticket costs $649 for the first weekend and $599 for the second.
On the Coachella subreddit, Reddit users also shared prices of alcoholic beverages at the VIP tents. The menu showed a price of $23 for a Red Bull with vodka and $17 for spirits, including Absolut Vodka, Jameson Irish Whiskey, and Malibu Rum.
Sodas were priced at $7 and water was served for $2. As for food, the cheapest items on the menu were around $15, while full “meals” were being sold for an average of $20 to $30.
