How much do you want?
Coachella started with chaos on Thursday while thousands of people who went to Indio, California, to assume the annual music festival were trapped in traffic until 12 hours while they were fighting to enter the fairground only to deal with high -scale temperatures on Friday.
The conditions have been described by many participants as being among the worst since the start of the festival in 1999, some comparing Coachella this year to the infamous Fyre festival and others requiring reimbursements even before the first sets are played.
“This is the worst organization that I have never seen during a festival and it’s Coachella for God Sakes (sic),” posted a person on Reddit.
“I made a joke earlier than I did not know that the Fyre Festival tickets were included in the admission this year, but it is honestly what I feel,” a coachella ticket at Business Insider said in his car on Thursday. “I feel fooled.”
“People pee in cuts,” added the man, who said he arrived around 4:30 am local time.
“It’s been eight hours; People have to do what they have to do. “
Held at the Empire Polo Club d’Indio, the Music and Valley Festival of the two -week Valley of two weeks includes this year the headliners Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone, and other large names such as Travis Scott, Missy Elliot, Meghan Thee Stallion and a large assortment of emerging artists.
Friday, the forecasts in Indio were around 102 degrees on Friday, according to the Times, only a few degrees less than 106 degrees, the Indio record set in 1904. Festival -goers will obtain a slight break on Saturday, as the high temperature should drop to 98 degrees.
Another participant, who waited from 2 a.m. to 2 p.m. before being left in the campsite, said that experience was “literal hell”.
“It was really the worst experience of all time and also super disappointing due to the amount of money we spent to be at an event that we really liked,” Coachella veteran in BI said.
“We finally entered, but no one has energy to start installing the camp.”
Countless other complaints have flooded social media.
A person trapped online has deployed the lack of bathrooms in a video published on Tiktok, calling “disappointing” and “extremely dehumanizing” experience.
“It is 100 ° F outside, people’s cars overheat, they lack gas. There is no bathroom anywhere to use, “she said.
“There are pots potties to which people are refused access. People have been waiting in their car for more than 10 hours. People literally use the bathroom behind bushes like animals, and they paid more than $ 600 to be here. ”
Another creator of Tiktok at the festival said that the event was in the under-effective this year. “We didn’t have anyone who directed us once we approached camping land,” she wrote. “I even saw a staff member being taken to the medical tent for dehydration. A couple of workers I spoke to was so disoriented and outside, I was really worried. ”
The organizers of Coachella did not immediately respond to the request for comments from the position.
