It’s an overpriced event…concert promoters are just greedy.
Its happening at alot of concerts. We are in a recession, and inflation is through the roof. Let's be real.

Well, we're all broke, and companies keep jacking the prices while having us pick up an increasing tax burden as they lobby for more reduced taxes so they can do share buyback and pad the big guys wallets
Overpriced, annoying "influencers" and a bunch of nobody acts 😂
They’re spending their money on food.
Clubbing/partying isn’t as popular anymore I feel like . People just wanna live in peace in their rooms and save their money 😂😂
Concerts are overrated like social media.
Car payment is high 😩

Lana Del Rey had the biggest crowd of the weekend, I was there. No doubt had a big crowd but Lana’s crowd was massive.
Sounds like a lame lineup

Sublime, Deftones, Blur. It’s solid
I'm a baby Boomer so I realize I'm not the target audience here but I have KZread premium and I love music so I've been checking in on Coachella for the last few days.... Most of this 'music' isn't really music I can listen to Gwen S and Lana Del Rey but a lot of this stuff is just pure crap

Even Gwen was not good. Terribly pitchy, everything she sang was either sharp or flat.
Inflation is the correct answer to this question. Simple
Can’t get over the prices 💵
First of all basic necessities are unaffordable... Airline tickets were cost 2x the normal cost for the 2 weeks that Coachella was going to hit. Every corporation charges the most money it can for no other reason than they simply can; however, Coachella has turned into something awful..the most materialistic crowd that bring the country its grossest vibe. The LA scene is so over. No one escapes that city without taking on debt and mental health issues. Of course you can find awesome people that are working towards bettering things within the city (like you can in every city).. but “the scene” is over.
Coachella is just not the hype as it used to be! nothing last forever
Wack, concerts aint the same
With inflation going up in March, I wonder WHY?!🤦♂️
It will be a rainy weekend with mountain snow in California, but the desert around Coachella should have good weather.
Not only the inflation people, with all the safety concerns, shootings, is it worth loosing your life, heck to the no, it’s a huge risk nowadays!! Plus I think this Cochella whatever it is, should be done, and over. Just my opinion 🤷🏼♀️
Overpriced and not a perfect lineup for each date. Only a select few.
I clearly see why stagecoach the country version of Coachella out sold by far.
. It's $500 for a three day pass. Add the cost of dr*gs to that and we're talking about an event too expensive for a lot of budgets.

500$ cheaper actually sf outsideland day pass is almost 300$ a day for 3 day pass weekend is 800$
Coachella has had some challenges this year. It's core audience is aging. The ticket pricing was higher than avg folks can afford. Venues with large gatherings are prime active-shooter targets which help keep people away. Lots of things are happening to keep attendace below previous years. Word is that those who attended the Mojave Stage performances managed by 88Rising got the biggest pleasaant surprise. Let's see how this weekend goes with Coachella. 🤔
well to be honest this year coachella have more lesser well-known performers compared to previous years ... Maybe we heard some of those performers and their singles but thats it ...so if they charge the ticket as expensive as previous years idk if people will think it will worth it even for last year with more of well known established performers people who actually went there still have some pros and contras
As said ," It isn't Or NEVER a Vital & essential NECESSITY in Life ! " .
It's Influencer-con 2024... who's gonna spend that much money to see stuff that you scroll-surf when you're in the crapper? These are not entertainers who really hold many people's attention.
Funny because stagecoach doesn’t have this problem but then again it’s a smaller festival…they sold out in days
People already speant their concert money on Beyonce and/Taylor Swift.
Officially old. No clue about anything about any of those 3 performers.

500$ is cheap!!! Outside land in sf cost almost 800$ for 3 day weekend 😬

The Outside Land was the same price as Coachella. All tickets are expensive no matter where you go!!! 💯
Gee, I am certain it is not related to the Biden economy
Well I'm not surprised with the awful and or boring artists they had this year. That and the economy.
I was there Friday night and let me just say everyone showed out for Lana Del Rey. Earlier in the day I was worried because it didn’t seem to busy but about an hour before Lana began her set the place was packed with hundreds of thousands of people. It was insane!
WAY too much Spanish and KPop now. Coachella has jumped the shark and absolutely is not worth it. Just watch the couple of bands you want to see for free on KZread. No brainer.
Thanks Biden! FJB!!
