HOW TO GET THERE

Getting to Coachella is easy. There are options to drive, take a shuttle, ride a bus, hop on a train, or even walk or bike to the festival.

Driving

Driving directions can be found here. You will want to make sure to follow these instructions, as doing otherwise could result in issues due to road closures. 

If you will be driving, you might want to consider bringing friends along for the ride. Cars with four or more passengers will be eligible to participate in Carpoolchella, an opportunity to win prizes for carpooling. Be sure to dress your car up so you’re easy to spot!                                         

Shuttles

Shuttles run to the festival from a number of places. Long-distance shuttles travel from the nearest big cities, and convenience shuttles bring people in from a number of different area hotels. There is also a shuttle option that’ll take you to and from the airport.

Public Transportation

Greyhound buses, Sunline buses, and Amtrak trains and buses can also be used to get to the festival. Visit their respective websites for information on tickets. 

Walking and Biking

Staying nearby? If so, you do have the option to bike or walk. That said, you will want to use these directions, as some roads will be blocked off to pedestrians and bicycles.

PARKING

Coachella offers a few different parking options for those who drive to the festival. 

The first option is their regular day parking. This is free to event attendees, and is available from 10am–2am. Any cars left after 2am will be towed. No drop-offs are allowed in this location.

Another option is the “preferred” day parking lot. This lot is closer to the festival and is also open 10am–2am. Payment is per weekend and cost is $150 per car per weekend. Again, cars left after 2am will be towed. Additionally, cars arriving after 10pm will not be parked in the preferred lot. No pickups or drop-offs will be allowed in this lot. 

Finally, there is the option of “camping companion” parking. This parking is for those who would like to leave their car parked overnight while they car- or tent-camp in the onsite campgrounds. Cost is $60 for the weekend, but those who leave at any point during the weekend will not be allowed back into the lot. Visitors will not be allowed to car camp in this lot. 

None of these lots allow car camping or tailgating, and all require everyone in the vehicle to be wearing a Coachella wristband. 

Those who wish to pick up or drop off should always head to the designated location. 

TICKETS & PRICING

Coachella sells tickets per weekend (not per day) and tickets are available now. Prices start at $449 for a 3-day base pass, and other options such as shuttles and a VIP experience can be added at the time of purchase.
