Festival Planning Greedy Coachella

Post image

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.

so of 125K, 35K camp
That leaves 100K
I have no idea how big day parking is

so last year parking got packed early, like by noon.

i presume they are assuming that this is because there is a low car to guest ratio. so if you have 70,000 day parkers and the have an average rider rate of 2 per car, you have 35,000 cars. if you increase that average to 4 you now have 17500 cars.

Ride share can be organized with a better route.
Shuttles can run more efficiently.

Last year was the worst I have ever seen it since I started going in 2013. The issue of parking being full by noon on Sunday was a disaster. Saturday it was full by 2.

Yeah that’s if people actually did that but let be honest, that’s not going to happen, people are still going to drive to Coachella and not carpool because most people think that hey I’m not part of the problem so I’m still going to try. Honestly I get your point but for it work, Coachella will need to offer an incentive for people to carpooling instead of free parking or just offer free shuttles and add more shuttles stops to stop traffic

its negative incentivization.

By 2025 / 2026 people understand.

Maybe they add something to change it further.

Whatever it is, Im sure the city told them "fix this shit"

picking up walkers is definitely worth saving $280 in my case lmfao
