Lodgings at Coachella: Luxury On-Site Tents Still Open
Speaking of Palm Springs, Coachella takes place this weekend, starting on Thursday April 24. The hipstery music festival features a wide-range of musical acts from famous bands to underground faves and even some celeb stints (See: ScarJo Sings!).
The gig brings out a ton of people from all over the West Coast and beyond, who pretty much camp out for the entire weekend thus making traffic, parking, will-call, drinking, public displays of air-guitar skills and the like pretty freakin' messy.
Oh yeah, and hotel rooms, motel rooms and campsites book up fast.
This year, Coachella decided to unveil their own On-Site Lodging which is described as "Luxury Site Accommodations."
This new exclusive lodging area will include Breakfast (served 7am - 11am - menu will be posted at a later date), limited capacity, restrooms & showers, general store, food vendors, roaming food and ICE vendors, free private parking lot, drop off area, cell phone charging stations, added security, ATMs, recycling tent (bottles, camping gear) Outdoor chairs, shade tents and outdoor lighting, local newspapers, shuttles and more! (Massage Therapist for extra fee).
The beds are air mattresses and sleeping bags (which will be donated to the homeless after you use them) and are promised to be of the best quality.
But the shizz is expensive. A two-person tent with two onsite-camping tickets is going for $700. A four-person tent bumps up to $1,400. And the six-person tent is selling for $2,100. However, each ticket is good for the entire weekend.
LAist doesn't think it's all that more special than the regular campsites although the ATM is a big plus. And if you were interested in staying in hotels, a quick look at Expedia shows hotel rates are jacked up with motels even starting in at around $200 a night. These on-site tents might be the better way to go.
