For some Coachella attendees, $430 tickets may well end up being one of the cheapest purchases of the long weekend.
While many people opt for luxury hotels or mansion-sized Airbnbs, others choose to stay at the Safari Campground, the festival’s most expensive on-site campground.
Fancy camping is not exactly a new concept — a luxury Chicago hotel offers a glamping package on the terrace of its penthouse suite, and there’s a $700 glamping package on an island in New York City Harbor. The latter is a steal compared to Coachella’s campsite, where prices are in the thousands.
Business Insider’s Hillary Hoffower previously reported that total Coachella costs vary depending on attendee preferences. While it is possible to budget, the rich and famous who attend the infamous festival are usually more than willing to pay above-average costs. On the other end of the spectrum, there’s also the more affordable but far less glamorous $125 car camping option.
Prices for Safari Tents begin at $9,500 with the option to add up to two additional guests for a $2,500 fee per person. For Resort Yurts, prices vary depending on customization packages. Money previously estimated a yurt stay to cost $25,000 for the weekend, which also included catered meals and two artist passes to the festival shows.
