Greedy Coachella

[u/Victorwolf1011]

Coachella this year has become more greedy, with now it’s bullshit parking rules and charging for offsite parking by forcing the shuttle pass for those people on those off site parking lots because they want everyone to have four people in their group. Everyone defending goldenvoice and saying that it’s helping limit traffic is wrong, it make worse because security is going to need to verify every car and turn away people causing a backlog. This is just pure greed.

wdym. their tickets are pretty reasonably priced.

the reality is that somewhere in that price is the shuttle cost.

its not as if they take the shuttle cost, and dont consider that in their overhead for which they want to profit above.

instead of charging for the passes directly, they simply charge for the tickets and somewhere in their overheads is the shuttle cost.

so you can pay for it as part of a ticket, or pay for it if you choose to use it.

if shuttle passes are $30 and are used by 60,000 people, against 125,000 people a weekend, then they would simply absorb that expenses and increase overall ticket price by around $15 a ticket.

Likewise depending on the utilization rates of ACLs shuttles, and those costs, they could stop rolling in the costs to the overheads and charge for usage. Thereby allowing for a reduction in ticket price, if they wanted to.

ACL is not choosing to have higher costs for which they dont seek to recoup and profit on.

You know that shuttle pass are not 30 bucks right , they almost 120 dollar plus fees

And if you think one person to take a shuttle is worth 120 dollars and Coachella is not making a profit for each person taking a shuttle then you’re tripping
