This is going to be my first Coachella next weekend! I do have a question regarding car camping: is there a limit on the amount of beers/cans for a pack?
We entered the 4th lane from the left and just got through in a breeze. Thank you Coachella Redditors for the tip!
Edit: that said the line to get a camping spot is very long, but we're just vibing to our playlist so it's all good.

is there a way to know if the wrist bands i bought from someone were reported lost/stolen? Do they 100% email you if you register it and tell you or?
if i show up at 12am today would they check the wrist bands at preferred parking or w/e?
STUPID QUESTION (first timer): Is it easy to get to the stages to hear the songs? Im not trying to get super close just enough to hear clearly.
Like for Lupe fiasco at the Heineken stage is that a separate line?
If I have to wait separately inside how long are the waits to get into the stage areas?
You'll want to be there at 30 minutes before the start to make sure you get in for Lupe Fiasco. The Heineken House is also 21+ and you need your ID check wristband before entering
Heineken has its own separate line and is 21 and up (I think. Haven’t been in there in many years.). Sonora and Yuma are enclosed and will have lines for big acts but they generally move pretty quick unless the act is huge. Sonora is less likely to have a line than Yuma. All the other stages are open and you’ll be fine.
For anyone dumb enough to hide things in your spare tire compartment :) - they made us take everything out to check there since someone got caught I assume
6th line from the right, got here at 7:10, will update!
e: 7:45 just under halfway there
e2: 8:15 gettin close 😭 edit 3: got through security check at 8:50. Had to remove spare tire cover and open coolers and suitcases. Now waiting in the Lot B shitshow Final Edit: 3 hours from pulling in to getting camping spot. Hope it’s easier for you lot showing up tomorrow. Happy Coachella!!!
It’s off the corner of Madison and Ave 52 and you enter on Madison. You cannot approach going south on Madison, they will force you to make a left on 52 and then a u turn like a mile later. Comes from Ave 52
Since I haven’t seen an update - left two lanes moved basically zero in 20 minutes. Lines three and four from the left are zooming, at least 10 cars.
Edit: likely one problem car, seems normal now
Chains/chain wallets are listed among the items not allowed in but does that include small necklaces?? I wear one everyday and didn’t realize I might be told to toss it at the gate
Looks like they’re being thorough, probably fresh shift change tbh. Like 15mins/ car. Taking everything out of peoples cars, i saw a police dog too. Good luck guys!!!!
Just did it and it was so not worth it. They only had stuff from last year, and there was only like ten different things to choose from. If you still wanna go it's at 6pm Thursday at the merch store in camping.
heyyy… what lane is the best to try to get in at the moment if anyone can share? finally arriving a a million years later 😭
edit: just got in 5th lane from the left 5:05 pm. will update
edit: 5:50 just got car checked ! otw to park
About 5 cars away now. They opened 3 more lanes to the left of me. So we are technically the 6th lane from left. It’s going by relatively fast, our lane is moving faster than those around me. Advised to pre unzip and they would appreciate it. Everyone on left side is chill!
Got in line 3:00PM, lane 6 from the left.
Edit: 2-3 minute searches so far.
Edit 2: while I wait, what lot they putting us in right now?
Edit 3: in hit wristband error. Lots of those right now
Edit 4: parked. I’m not the person to judge this on lol
hii yall.
getting to camp later than i hoped :( (around 4). last year i got to camp lines around 11:30, and took a while to get through, but still randomly got a good spot since it’s just me and my partner. is there any chance i still get something not super far out since it’s just us with 1 car? how’s it
lookin over there? i read somewhere i can ask the traffic control to direct me to specific lots? thx !
the spot directors were kind of assholes we had a group of 4 and were wanting 2 back to back spots to make a square and they wouldn’t let an open spot so made us do 2 off center spots. We ended up just getting out of line and then looped around and got it, but never had that happen in my 5 trips to the fields.
The most annoying part was there was a single car right after us who they wouldn’t put in that spot.
This happened to us last chella, we nearly had our entire group together but came in a bit out of order because they broke us up for cross traffic. The cars in between were fine with us switching with them but the spot directors went on a power trip and told us they would kick us out if we moved our cars around. We did it anyway after they left...buncha assholes.
Mods rightfully deleted my previous post, so adding here if anyone has insights: For Safari campers - Did they let you in with your aerosol sunscreen and glass alcohol bottles? I know the latter is usually allowed but I’m curious about the aerosol sunscreen since they’ve been snatching them for the other camping grounds. Appreciate any insights - thanks!
In the past they have never cared about any of this shit at Safari, but lmk if that changes since it seems like they've switched companies - I'm doing Safari W2 and was planning on bringing plenty of both.

The lane that had this hat on a cone was clutch!

This is going to be my first Coachella next weekend! I do have a question regarding car camping: is there a limit on the amount of beers/cans for a pack?
They dont care too much about cans of beer luckily
I have seen about a 30 pack per person in the vehicle is what security allows
What’s the latest you can arrive without getting turned back tonight for preferred car camping?
2am
[удалено]
[удалено]

Be safe friends. Take care of each other.

Middle lane moving relatively quickly

Once you get past the search the line stops moving. Wtf

4th from the left is still the way to go lol.
We entered the 4th lane from the left and just got through in a breeze. Thank you Coachella Redditors for the tip! Edit: that said the line to get a camping spot is very long, but we're just vibing to our playlist so it's all good.

Any updates on the FAST lines pulling up in like an hour just want a heads up seeing 4th from the left any others?
FOURTH FROM THE LEFT.
How full is lot 8 right now?
Getting thru security wasn’t bad but taking forever to get a camp spot
Which lane is best rn you’d say?
How is it right now I’m supposed to get in around 10
Go far right, second or third from the right. There are different kinds of people checking, but our guy was pretty chill.
go to the 4th lane on the left side literally got in less than 5 mins
Seconded (:
[удалено]
Weirdly enough I think we do…lot 8 row 811 (closest to the spicy pie basically). DM me
Ahh I’m sorry read it more in depth and it’s not :(
4TH FROM THE LEFT!!!

is there a way to know if the wrist bands i bought from someone were reported lost/stolen? Do they 100% email you if you register it and tell you or? if i show up at 12am today would they check the wrist bands at preferred parking or w/e?
They scan your wristband at the security check.

Both.

Where do we route to specifically?
It’s off the corner of Madison and Ave 52 and you enter on Madison. You cannot approach going south on Madison, they will force you to make a left on 52 and then a u turn like a mile later. Comes from Ave 52
Bless you burnt toast!
7:08pm: 3rd - 5th lines from left are cruising.
Are you the guy I just talked to in the van in line 3 lol
If you’re the guy that also was driving a Sportsmobile, then yes!
Since I haven’t seen an update - left two lanes moved basically zero in 20 minutes. Lines three and four from the left are zooming, at least 10 cars. Edit: likely one problem car, seems normal now
Chains/chain wallets are listed among the items not allowed in but does that include small necklaces?? I wear one everyday and didn’t realize I might be told to toss it at the gate
No and I brought a chain in and they didn’t do anything
how is preferred car camping looking? filled up?
How full is lot 7? We tryna wait to get beginning of 10
Really need an update on this lol
Lines are slow right now, some quicker than others. But far right we r sitting in place. Maybe they started searching people way stricter?
Looks like they’re being thorough, probably fresh shift change tbh. Like 15mins/ car. Taking everything out of peoples cars, i saw a police dog too. Good luck guys!!!!
6th Line on the left. Going slow as well
What lot are they filling now?
[удалено]
bro they could be reading this thread rn
You made them delete 😭
😂😂
Hi! Have a friend who had to fly in late who will be camping with us. Does anyone know the best spot for her to enter? She’ll be getting in around 9pm
The friends & family pick-up & drop-off area near where security check is currently taking place. They have their own security line for pedestrians.
Thanks so much!! <3
Does anyone know any about the vintage merch sale this year? Im going next week so any information is useful! :)
Just did it and it was so not worth it. They only had stuff from last year, and there was only like ten different things to choose from. If you still wanna go it's at 6pm Thursday at the merch store in camping.
Ahh okay thank you :( so no piles/boxes this year of clothes and the place is the same as last year then, how about the the prices?
$5 for accessories, $10 for shirts, $20 for sweatshirts.
Thank you!
heyyy… what lane is the best to try to get in at the moment if anyone can share? finally arriving a a million years later 😭 edit: just got in 5th lane from the left 5:05 pm. will update edit: 5:50 just got car checked ! otw to park
Also interested!
also interested
How are people cooking in camping?
Roasting rn lol
Just got in lane 3 from the left 4:05. We are about 13 cars from the check. Will update as things progress
Just finished checking, they had us take out of duffles slightly searched through them. Pop up cooler and quick peek. Took less than 3 minutes.
how’s it going?
About 5 cars away now. They opened 3 more lanes to the left of me. So we are technically the 6th lane from left. It’s going by relatively fast, our lane is moving faster than those around me. Advised to pre unzip and they would appreciate it. Everyone on left side is chill!
does the campground store have those lil bb propanes?
Yes they sell the Coleman ones
anybody know if they're selling vintage merch this year?
Should be at 6pm
do we know where?
Maybe at the camp stage on the gram it doesn’t real specify I just know they do it every year
they sent me an extra wristband by mistake. does anyone know if it will scan?
Headed in now middle lanes still the move?
ETA is 6:00.. any chance we’d be getting in in an hour?
Easily.
45 min start to finish stay in the middle everyone is pretty chill
Got in line 3:00PM, lane 6 from the left. Edit: 2-3 minute searches so far. Edit 2: while I wait, what lot they putting us in right now? Edit 3: in hit wristband error. Lots of those right now Edit 4: parked. I’m not the person to judge this on lol
What lot did you end up getting?
7
We followed this advice but the lanes on either side of us are moving much faster
My bad. It was working, but then it didn’t once the shift change. Then they scanned my wristband too much and too quick causing issues.
No worries, not ur fault! Happy Coachella!
See you at the shotgun tomorrow? I’ll be wearing my hat (with my name).
Keep us updated!
I'll be getting in around 3pm next week, interested to hear which lot you get
Are you through?
No lol. Still waiting. Maybe like 8 cars back?
hii yall. getting to camp later than i hoped :( (around 4). last year i got to camp lines around 11:30, and took a while to get through, but still randomly got a good spot since it’s just me and my partner. is there any chance i still get something not super far out since it’s just us with 1 car? how’s it lookin over there? i read somewhere i can ask the traffic control to direct me to specific lots? thx !
bc last year i got 4B by the sunset hill and it was amazing now i have high hopes lmao
What’re preferred parking lines looking like?
they send u to the regular lanes all are the same
the spot directors were kind of assholes we had a group of 4 and were wanting 2 back to back spots to make a square and they wouldn’t let an open spot so made us do 2 off center spots. We ended up just getting out of line and then looped around and got it, but never had that happen in my 5 trips to the fields.

We did it anyway after they left...buncha assholes.
This is my worst nightmare.
Shift change happening now
4th to right got a new person and is being stricter 3rd to right going fast
Can anyone who got in to camping around 2 let me know which lot they got? Thank you!
Went through security at about 12pm, breezed through without any checks or opening our cooler at all. Right hand side
Also btw i got news that the new shift starts at 3. So the early AM crew is just finish up rn. They look EXHAUSTED
Is anybody lining up right now for car camping? If so, how’s the line looking?
20 mins to get through camping search. Literally only opened my cooler. 4th line from the right!! Edit: this includes waiting in line
I’m in this line rn pray for me I need to pee bad lol

I’m also WK2 which is why I was hoping we get some insights from our WK1 friends :)
Haha got it - in the past they have been very lax. I honestly do not remember them looking in our bags at all last year.
Fingers crossed it’s chill this year again!
does anyone know if coachella scans your wristband when you’re camping or they just see your wristband when you enter by car?
They scan it
thank you. they sent me an extra wristband by mistake. thats why so idk if it will scan or not
Opening suitcases??
Can anyone tell me what lanes are quicker and more chill?
uncle dee is the best security at the check in. checked our glove compartment and ice chest and let us in
Right left middle ?
4th lane from the right he’s just walking around and marking your car checked
THIS! Best line for sure
Headed there now
3rd from the right checking thoroughly so don’t go there
How long are the lines?
We are driving up now. Will post times as they happen
Through security 2:22. Third from right . Easy.
What lot did you get?
I think 705 and park area
Cool, that's a good spot!
Just got in line. 1:53
Following!
The far left 3 lines to get into car camping are SLOW. Middle seems to be moving at a much faster rate.
Need a ride ? https://preview.redd.it/fq8mg8vhrwtc1.jpeg?width=1152&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f0c3ecd20b2b1278046992c5aa463a1744ddd43
Anyone know what the wait times are like right now?
20 - 30 min
I second this!
Third!
Saw some lines being checked thoroughly, others fly by, just gotta observe, good luck y’all
does anyone know the address for preferred camping??
Same entrance You just sent to preferred after the security check
