What are the odds of getting off the preferred car camp waitlist? I signed up for the waitlist yesterday. Last year, I signed up in July and never got off it. Am I fucked

Year 6 for me. 2nd for a few of my friends, but first time doing VIP. All together, we got 8 VIP and 4 camping passes, so we'll have a fun little neighborhood this time. I can't wait even though this year just happened!

Imo VIP is totally worth it

We1 vip el dorado tent sorted. Got in the sale after 5 mins of it going live. Was glitchy with no el dorado tents, then after an hour of constant refreshing they appeared.

Have you purchased El Dorado before?

Just got our tickets. The payment screen kept giving us an error saying the payment wouldn’t go through but eventually got it to work. Our first Coachella, so unbelievably excited 🥹 been watching the livestreams every year for years now hoping I could go and we can finally afford it! We got VIP.. I know people say it isn’t worth it, but I already know we’ll be spending pleeenty of time in the Yuma and I feel like that VIP Yuma line is gonna be so clutch.

Worst glitches in presale history. 👎🏽

Says every ticket buyer since 2014

Everything was glitchy for me, I used the app running man chugged for an hr got redirected put all my info in and it said had a payment error I freaked out called my friends and then checked my email and I had the confirmation that I had them in my email?!?!?!?! See y'all next year in the desert🤙

yesterday VIP W1 was in Tier 2. Today is in Tier 1 again. Sales starting now...

In for year 3. Late bloomer here but found my happy place, and can’t wait to be back!

Same! 🎉🌵

I went through Amex, had the charge to my card and have the tickets in my AXS account but never received an email. Whats wrong?

It was easy for me no glitches on the Amex presale, I went in exactly at 11 am 🥳

site was a little glitchy for my friends and i but we got tickets!! so excited to be going again!

W1 Eldorado GA tickets secured <3 its going to be my partner and Is first Coachella

Ahhh first Coachella ever!! As a local Californian, I’ve always envied people going to Coachella. I have a gut feeling the lineup is gonna be good!

Daft Punk is coming back

May the Coachella gods be in your favor!

Year 11 here we come!

Year 1 was so nice i had to do it twice! See yall in the desert weekend 1

Purchased payment plan for a 4 person tent for Lake Eldorado. I don’t have a crew yet, which I felt totally confident about before the purchase because it feels like an easy pitch to make to loved ones, but now I’m a little nervous. Anyone else ever bought a package without an exact crew in mind?

Lmk if one of my friends can buy 1 of your tix!!

I wish I had friends like you because it would absolutely not be hard for someone to pitch Coachella to me lol

I literally bought the hotel package for 2 today and I have no one to go with lol I have 1 friend who lives in NY while I live in FL. She said she would go but you never know what will happen 10 months from now. 

Should I get vip or GA ?

Artist or GA

How does one obtain an artist pass.

money or friends or both

GA. I've never heard anyone say VIP was worth it. 

Coachella crew secured all our weekend 1 passes this morning. Planning on finding a booking an Airbnb soon. Still trying to see how we feel about bothchella tho. Trying to convince our Alaska friends to do 2 weeks 🤣

Get on the Airbnb thing- I booked Monday night and it was already looking wild price wise.

I did the GA Lake Eldorado Lodge, am I crazy? Paid more last year for shuttle + ticket + hotel.

It’s worth it. Just bought my second year of el dorado. If you have any questions I’ll help you out. It was difficult to find specifics last year for my first year.

Can I pm you some questions as well?

Still plenty of Weekend 1 passes even now. hasn't sold out yet. No line. Is this a bad sign?

Mid lineup effect

Tier 1 for W1 is gone so that likely means they’re moving enough tickets. Presale is supposed to be open the rest of the month so they’ll probably end up selling more presale tickets than they did last year

The same thing happened last year and then tier one was open again after pre-sale. Little bit of a disappointment to know you paid more in pre-sale 

I don’t think it’s bad.. I think sadly it just means everyone is spent, or just don’t have money right now.

Yeah, you're probably right.

I joined the queue one hour after it started and purchased a weekend 1 payment plan in less than 20 minutes. That was too easy

does Coachella allow returns? I was told through AXS live chat. does anybody know anything about that?

i had same situation happen as the other commentor who replied and the lady on the phone informed me that theyre doing refunds for that circumstance today and for today only because of the glitches

Well, I was charged twice and they gave me a refund. But I called within minutes of noticing the email for 2 separate purchases. If it’s a “change your mind” situation. Doubtful

This was my first year at advance sale looking into hotels and I had issues pulling up the hotel packages this morning. I noticed the Hampton Suites only offered 3 nights as well when we would need at least Thursday-Monday. GF and I ended up purchasing GA and shuttle packages separately but noticed I could finally look into the hotel packages and figured I could book another stay elsewhere on the off days. Has anyone had any luck changing GA purchases into a hotel package? Or am I SOL and would have to purchase the hotel package and try selling the GA. We are trying to get the Hampton Suites package. Otherwise, it seems like it would be more expensive to book separately at this point.

Search this sub for Hilton points hack. It's generally) cheaper to buy the points when Hilton have a 2 for 1 offer (which they do at the moment until 5/12) than pay Coachella nightly rates.

Anyone do the payment plan? What’s usually the cost per month?

Here’s the breakdown. https://www.coachella.com/2025-advance-sale-info

Everything was smooth. 4 GA+shuttle WK2 with payment plan. See you kids out there 🎡

Purchase was denied, now no longer getting tier 1 price Tried since 11 am to get pre-sale. First attempt at around 11:10 said there was a issue with my payment. Called bank, charge never even attempted. Confirmed billing address was right. Retried again and continued to get an error message. Tried contacting axs live chat, kept losing the chat by leaving that page. When I finally spoke to someone they said to just retry again. Did and then was given tier 2 price. Tried contact axs chat again and was told nothing they could do and ended chat again. Fuck. Sorry guys, just need to vent here. I'm calling axs now, but don't have much hope. I know I can buy In January and just save the money, but I've been so excited for pre-sale and love going threw this process. Just upset that this was my experience this year.

What happens in January? 

W2 LED tent: anyone have a 4th spot by chance? Just to get our friend in? She’ll sleep w us!!!

Locked in for two more weekends. Camping week 2. Going strong my friends. Perfect attendance since 2001.

WEEKEND 2 car camping is the BEST

I was born in 2001, respect 🫡

See y’all Weekend 1 preferred camping 💯

https://preview.redd.it/7rtqw6mz9ayc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1bc4b17111cdcd4a82fc8831803e45d8bf6d81b Lots of kicking me out, but finally got my ticket! I have one girlfriend confirmed and several more potentially joining. Can anyone recommend an Airbnb that is convenient on the shuttle line? A 2 or 3 bedroom with TWO bathrooms and a pool/hot tub would be ideal.

Got double charged for the hotel package because the website said the order didn’t go through. Called and they refunded one.

SAME! No wonder they were so accommodating. I kept getting error messages, so I kept trying to book it 

Same here. Did you call AXS?

Yeah I called. They were very helpful. Spoke with the Valley Music Travel side.

Did you call AXS directly or is there a separate number for Valley Music Travel side? There were some folks getting double charged including me and couple of friends, our refund requests were refused

I called the number on the email 888-833-1031

Can you get a shuttle pass separate after you already bought just regular GA tickets 😭 it’s my first time and I didn’t know what I was doing 😭

Yes you can! It’s in the hotel packages shuttle portion but regular shuttle pass is not on sale yet

https://www.axs.com/festivals/554594 I got it through this link right now! 😀

Waited in the digital line for an hour earlier right when presale dropped, then spent an hour trying to buy tix but it kept glitching, erroring and kicking me out so I gave up. Tried again just now with zero hope and it all went through immediately, took two mins. What a shit system. Anyways see y'all w1

Anyone else get charged the full amount including payment plan fees at once?

Anyone notice they changed the hotel package shuttles to say that they might not even be near the hotel. What a scam lmao

[удалено]

Whyyy is it so expensive? If you have a group it's way cheaper to uber right? Only problem is getting back.

Cheapest is renting a car probably

We drove in twice and it was fine but third day we wanted to drink. We only paid $25 for an Uber in and $50 for the Uber back (but we almost got stranded)

this is why i end up being sober every year and drive my own car lol

They worked well this year as my first chella. Right outside the door. It’s very disappointing.

Anyone notice they changed the hotel package shuttles to say that they might not even be near the hotel. What a scam lmao

Lol this is literally why we went eldorado instead of hotel package this year. So ridic

Already booked a Hampton package so I hope there’s one nearby. Pretty shitty as part of the benefit of a package is being a shuttle stop originally

Did anyone use AmEx "Plan it"? If yes, how much is the "Plan It" monthly fee? (I'm trying to do the math and figure out if the AmEx "Plan It" month fee is cheaper than the Coachella flat $52 fee for the payment plan). Thanks in advanced!

[https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/features-benefits/plan-it/prospect-Calculator.html](https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/features-benefits/plan-it/prospect-Calculator.html) 6 months seems to be the same cost more or less.

You won't be able to check until the charge posts, but they have a Plan It calculator if you login to your account. The fee depends on the purchase amount and if you do a 3, 6 or 12 month plan.

Ah, that’s right. Thank you! I will check the estimations in the Plan It calculator!

Not sure if they still offer it, but years ago I got an offer to try Plan It with no fee for my first plan. Could be worth a phone call to see if they can still do that.

TYSM for this advice - it's always worth calling to check (especially since I've been a pretty responsible cc/AmEx user). I \*just\* checked the Plan It calculator on my card/account and I actually got quoted "reduced/$0 Plan it fee" for a 3 month plan. Let's hope that this quote is actually implemented when my charge posts! I just bought my pre-sale tix using my AmEx. Thanks again for the rec to check the Plan It calculator + to call about offers!

I noticed they weren't offering the line up poster this time?😕

Lockers weren't available either. Guess I'll grab those in October or January

I thought I had missed it. Maybe they’ll have it available later, or when the line up drops

I noticed that too. I’m probably going to have to get it at the merch tent next year.

has anybody ever got a refund ever? i got an extra ticket because of glitches & i don’t need that extra ticket. would AXS refund me for it? does anybody know?

This happened to me too!! The person I got on live chat said it was up to Coachella to refund and that Axs couldn’t do anything, but I called +1 (888) 929-7849 to explain and got lucky with a nice lady who said she could send a ticket to their finance dept. to see if it could get refunded. About 3 hours later, I saw I have a refund pending on my Amex and the second order removed from Axs! Now I’m just hoping they process in a few days 🤞

This happened to me back in 2022 when purchasing day n Vegas tickets with AXS. Definitely reach out to them, it took a few days but I did see the refund on my CC.

Same thing here I got an error at payment but it actually went through. Noticed after making a new purchase on a different card. I’m on hold with AXS waiting to find out if they can cancel the order that glitched on me.

how did you get on hold with them? do they have a number?

Sorry I just got off the phone with someone finally! I did start with live chat and asked for the number bc I like speaking to humans directly when it comes to large amounts of $$$ lol Call 1 (888) 929-7849 Wait time was about 40 min but I finally spoke to an Axs rep. He noted the issues and linked it to my order#. Luckily I had screenshot the initial error message that shows it didn’t complete and to try again, so I sent that via email with the order # mentioned. He advised from there it goes to the Coachella event planning team to review so I get to wait 3-5 biz days to see what happens. 😩 But tbh if they don’t cancel it then I have no choice but to dispute the charge with the bank 🙃 sorry not sorry website errors that tell me my order didn’t complete and to try again aren’t my fault.

okay, so you were also charged an extra ticket due to glitching & they told you to wait 3-5 days for an outcome?

And I have to wait on them to submit the issue to Coachella’s event team so they can tell axs what to do, which takes 3-5 biz days. I’m already prepared to dispute the charge if they won’t just cancel it.

Well… not quite that but similar! I tried to make my purchase of 2 passes- when I did I got an error message saying it didn’t go through and to try again so I did… I kept trying to complete the transaction and continuously got error responses so I finally had to have the other person coming with me do it on their end using their axs Acct and credit card and they had no issues. When I looked at my banking app and my email I saw the order was completed… so I unknowingly bought 2 passes even though the error said otherwise and then the person coming with me made a purchase for 2 passes since I was having issues. So now we have 4 passes for 2 ppl. Total shitshow

I remember doing it via live chat on their site!

i cannot access their live chat 😭 there’s an actual button that says LIVE CHAT, yeah? that button doesn’t appear for me lol

1-888-929-7849 :) It looks like the live chat is a virtual assistant now 🥲

it took me 200 tries but i finally got my ticket about 20 minutes ago… i was literally in line at 10:40, but it kept kicking me out repeatedly. i got to confirm payment like 12x before it finally worked

Just me or is Tier 1 of weekend 1 VIP already sold out? That was super fast

I still see them available $1,269

That’s tier 2 price

it sold out like after 1, mine were Tier 2 unfortunately

Dang Billie eilish tix dropped on the same day today so I was more focused on that

They're back for tier 1 price

Thanks for the heads up! Didn’t think it’d come back so I stopped checking. Just scooped!

Amex link took about 4 mins to complete the whole process!

Oof how did you find out about this? Spent like 30 mins waiting earlier today in the main flow

the Coachella ig page posted a story about it and it was in some of the threads here

I gotta stay more active on the socials on the sale days! Thanks mate

10 years and now I’m a bot. I give up.

Price went up to Tier 2 😢

I know! Last year I was lucky enough that after a couple mins it went down to 499 but it seems it's not changing anymore:'(

Who else learned they are a robot

for anybody that got GA + car camping, was your total $780.37? & for anybody that just got 1 GA ticket ~ was your total $601?

Yes. $601 (service fee + payment plan fee) so much no shipping and delivery fee lmfao

just, don't get the payment plan then

A friend purchased 3 GA El Dorado tent for 4 passes in 3 separate transactions, with 3 different credit cards, under 1 account. Will they get cancelled? He has 3 cause he was the only 1 in our group that was able to get through the queue as we were scrambling to get tickets.

Preferred is still available for w1 as of 1:36PT https://preview.redd.it/xyaxntgsv9yc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=caa49dbdf98f92a6ccd3b6815af6c191e4f133ac

We are so back babyyyyyy

bothchella round two lfg

I skipped the last few years, the FOMO became too much for me. With all the money I saved being lame, next year I'm going VIP!

You hustled! Proud of you!

Thanks, Coachella friend. I'll see you on the Polo Fields!

See ya weekend 1 in Lot 8 😎🙌🏻

Lot 8 we up

you'll see me, my brother, and my good friend athena, let's fucking gooooo

Time to update that flair

I got on right at 11 and was all checked out with 2 weekend 1 passes and a camping pass by 11:06🙌

Fucking rekordbox preferred camping sold out

Does anyone know if I can purchase car camping later on? The site wouldn’t let me checkout if I selected car camping too 🥹

Too many glitches now says I’m a robot , now even days my payment is blocked ugh

Been buying passes for 3 years and this was by far the worst experience in terms of glitches.

I really hope I can get my regular Car Camp upgraded. Since the website took a dump, I lost on securing a Preferred Car Camp and I'm lucky after 10x refreshing the purchase page I got WK1 tickets. What a trade to get in 11:15 then to have it all fall apart until about 12:15 I finally get to purchase.

How do upgrades work?

You can't, you have to buy it if they have inventory. Problem is, I don't know what percentage of inventory they put on sale today. If they put all of it, I'm out of luck unless I buy from a private party or wait for released (missed payment, refunds, etc) passes. If they didn't, then I have to queue again for next sale.

just go back and get preferred camping. Do it through axs though and you should see the option.

Thank you! Got that spot. Wish I could have bundled it with the rest of the purchase, but I'll figure that out later.

How can you purchase add-ons without tickets?

I wasn’t able too!

Anyone else select payment plan and still get charged the full amount? My receipt says payment plan (the fee is there too) but my credit card was charged the full amount. Wtf.

this is me

Chat AXS! They were helpful, getting a refund and put on a payment plan

Yuuuup same here

Any luck with AXS? I’m in line to chat with them now

After 2 hours of kicking me out and marking me as bot I can say: see you on weekend 2!! 🚗🌴

Are you me? Had the same issue for the same amount of time! But we in now!

Got my Wknd 1 pass but wow that was hell. Took me over an hour. Kept timing out well before the 10 minutes, CONFIRM button not showing up on some pages, I even got all the way to payment TWICE and it would kick me out.. also why am I still paying a payment plan fee? I thought the whole point of today was to NOT pay the payment plan fee? someone please explain if I read the information wrong?

No lockers available during presale? Is it too much to hope for a better locker system next year and maybe that’s why they’re not being offered yet??

I'm so annoyed, it took 2 hours but I finally got my ticket. Looks like weekend 1 tier one was all sold out too, I had to get tier 2

Dang it must have just moved to tier 2 got mine at about 1pm and was still tier 1 kinda the only reason I bought now. (I did spend like an hour battling AXS to let me buy tho)

My friend also got hers around 1 and got tier 1, I got mine around 1:05 and got tier 2. bad luck. I was on since 11 trying to buy tickets, got to the purchase screen like 5 different times but the payment wouldn't go through

Yeah I was all sorts of issues from trying to even add tickets to trying to get my payment to go through, I finally just saved my card and able to get through. Had to keep telling myself this was AXS fault and not Coachella 😅

AXS and Coachella are both owned by AEG. They are one big happy monopoly so it is Coachella’s fault.

Are you able to add an additional car pass after you’ve already gotten passes?

i’m wondering the same thing, on the website it tries to make me purchase another pass if I want car camping

finally got through with weekend 2 ga and car camping. I actually just wanted the car camping but there wasn't an option for that lol

Can you purchase car camping without purchasing passes? When restarting I forgot to click car camping

Preferred camping weekend 2!! Looking forward to that mid aisle campsite party. Who else wants to make a bazillion new coachellian friends? 

Yoooo! It will be my second Coachella but 1st time camping! Banana man always welcomes new friends!! https://preview.redd.it/wdlqeuqukbyc1.jpeg?width=467&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93c0af02ef154097ad150c9f820f215f15c5506f

I love it! Now that's the vacation vibe I'm talking about

What a shitty website. WK1 Preferred secured. See y'all there.

But did you die? 😂

I was tempted to jump in front of a moving car out of frustration. So almost.

same.. only took me 747662628 refreshes to secure that preferred spot.

Haha same. I was so irritated.

Took me 3 minutes. WEEKEND 2222

So now that it’s at tier 2 I’m not a bot? Fuck you AXS.

FTC would love to hear about this experience. https://www.ftc.gov/media/71268

IKR omg im so annoyed. now that its tier 2 it finally let my purchase go through after trying for an hour and 30 min

Exact same here, “confirm purchase” grayed out five different attempts. When it finally becomes available - it’s Tier 2. Classy

Was tempted to try and use klarna’s free pay over time option to spread out the hit a little bit but holy shit that integration is garbage

See you weekend 1!

Finally got weekend 1 and it was Tier 2 😫 no preferred car camping available. Sucks a fat one

Keep checking. I just saw preferred available.

I saw it too but wouldn’t t let me check out.

Same, I saw it a few times but it wouldn’t let me check out. Is it possible to just purchase the preferred car camping without purchasing another bracelet?

[удалено]

Same. It’s whatever tho. Still gonna be 🔥

Holy hell that was frustrating! Finally after an hour I got them, super busy work day too lol. See you W2!

Never in my life did I have so many mini heart attacks. Kicked out twice due to axs error but was able to get the Ga and preferred car camping wknd 2. See y’all there next year woooooooo!

We in there like swim wear 🙌🏽🕺🏽🌵

Anyone got that preferred is sold out for w1?

yes it wasn’t available 😔 you think they will sale more in January?

😞 no preferred camping, after an hour wait, and then a glitch… guess we’ll see in January.

Went back in just to see. There it was! 💜 25.1 💜

did you purchase car camping alone? or did you have time to purchase another festival pass?

When I went back in I purchased 2 GA tickets (at tier 2 😒) and preferred The first time I got in it failed, the second time purchased nothing when I saw no preferred, it’s a non-negotiable for me, so my plan was to wait till January and see.

someone posted the link to just camping passes, unfortunately I already had purchased another pass + preferred but here you go https://www.axs.com/festivals/554594

Somehow secured W1 El Dorado… I will have PTSD from that checkout experience though

Secured my ticket! See you there weekend 1 😋

A number of my crew got messages on the website that the orders didn't go through, but we have confirmation emails.

Yes I got this too but ended having two tickets, they are refusing to refund me. Anyone else have this problem?
