I’m one of the few people who did opt for Front Row Preferred Camping early during the sale but got otherwise in confirmation email. Handful of people dealt with the same thing Friday.

I got in the sale at 11:08 and did see that front row was priced same as preferred. Double and triple checked that I was choosing this, and checked out by 11:11am.

Upon reviewing my email confirmation, it does say in the header “front row preferred camping” but under says preferred camping.

My cousin who was able to check out much later got a front row preferred. By now the price mishap was rectified and his is priced coded as front row preferred and reads as such in his email.

Put in a support ticket Friday afternoon stating …

“I got in and ordered my Coachella by 11:12am. When ordering my (1) GA and (2) preferred front row camping, ordering was a breeze and successful.

my confirmation reads as...

Preferred Front Row Car Camping

Fri April 16 - 1:00 PM

Preferred Car Camping - Preferred Car Camping

Sec Preferred Car Camping, Seats

Ground Shipping (Coachella W2)

I did opt for front row preferred, double checked and continued. But when referring back to order on my account, it says "preferred camping". I know I am not the only one with this discrepancy.”

Finally got a reply Monday PM from AXS…

“Hi Oberder,

Thank you for contacting AXS.

I am showing you did get the preferred car camping we are unable to make changes at the moment till on sale begins. “

Therefore I guess we are screwed getting early in the sale for front row preferred. It was really helpful this year too.

AXS support sucks!

I’m currently at work on the clock and was hiding from management during the presale but I just realized I got Powered Car camping and not Preferred Car Camping? Regardless I am going obviously (my so called friends ditched me) but what am I in for with Powered? Is it much of a difference?? First year soloing so hoping to make new friends :)

Why was it so impossible to get passes this time around for Coachella. Do I need to hire bots likes the influencer do lol
Side note the Coachella bot deleted my post from their thread. “Conspiracy”

Hi! Has anyone successfully gotten off the waitlist before? I joined the W1 VIP waitlist and I’m just wondering if they even get you off it with enough time to plan going.

There's this thing called Meshtastic - it's basically a way to text people without cell service, WiFi, or data.
You use a small device that connects to your phone, and messages "hop" from person to person. So the more people using it, the better it works.

Why it's amazing at a festival:
Service always sucks → this still works
Easy way to find your friends
Works across camps/ crowds
No signal needed at all

I'm thinking of bringing one and maybe setting it up to help everyone connect. If a few of us run it, we could actually build a little network for the whole festival.
If you've used it before or wanna try it, Imk - would be dope to get a group going

I’m just posting this because the more people have it the better it works.

Hey guys, does anyone know if this "Leader Pass" actually counts as a car camping spot and can be counted towards the 10 spots needed for Group Camping? Or is it just a fee they are charging to reserve a spot for your group? Also what if I don't have all 10 spots right now...

4th year going to coachella and ive car camped up until this upcoming year!! Any tips for el dorado?

Is the entrance the same as camping? Different entrance/ parking? Do you get help with luggage or do we need to bring a wagon? Are showers any different? Is the vibe better or worse than car camping??

Ive always lucked out w my neighbors but I want to ensure my sister and I have a great time!! It will be her first coachella :)

TIA!!

Hi everyone! I'll be attending Coachella for the first time next year and doing car camping.

I've already started putting together a wishlist and have been doing some research, but I haven't come across many truck setups. Would anyone be willing to share pictures of their past car camping setups?

It’ll just be two of us and we're planning to sleep in the bed of a Jeep Gladiator with a tent cover. Would you guys recommend getting two 10x10 canopies or is one enough given the space? Any tips or advice are welcome :)

Hi so I did preferred camping with my brother this year instead of AirBNB and LOVED IT (also loved how I saved like 600 from using Uber). I was planning on camping on my own with my bf next year but was waiting for loyalty sale to see the lineup. I saw that preferred camping was sold out and was wondering if more spots would be sold for the loyalty/general sale or if I should join the waitlist asap. Also, would there be a payment plan option or would it charge the full 420 to my account without prior notice if I do join the waitlist? Thank you!

Hi everyone, my group and I opted for group camping this year. We did preferred car camping last year and loved being close to the entrance. We decided to do group camping as lot 5A is closer to the entrance, and also we are all driving from different parts of California, so it was convenient to come in at different times. I just looked at the site and it now states “A plot in lot 5A OR adjacent lots will be held for your group to arrive at leisure. Lot assignment will be based on time of purchase and/or group size.”. I’m just a bit disappointed that we might not get lot 5A and also my entire group purchased our camping spots the day of the sale. On the FEVO website we were ranked #23 w/ 10 cars in our group. We are now ranked #41 due to ranking being based on group size. I also hope we don’t get lot 5A due to group size, as we all did pay early. Does anyone have any experience with FEVO? I see they do group camping for electric forest and was wondering how their experience was. Sorry this is more of just a rant. What are your thoughts on this if you’re doing group camping?

We got two general camping spots for our group for W2. First time camping. Stayed in hotels in the past. My wife and I have a pretty nice 10x10 Kodiak Canvas tent that we take for regular outdoor camping. Is this type of tent allowed?

Also, another important question, we obviously were trying for Preferred Camping but were lucky enough to snag those two spots in general camping. I’m just being realistic. If we show up late Thursday and get one of the spots that is far from the Coachella Festival entrance, how big of a bummer will that be? Are the vibes still good way back there? Do you hate walking to your spot at the end of the night?

TLDR- is this tent allowed at Coachella Campgrounds, do the furthest back camping spots suck?tent for reference

How to get a close spot without a preferred. Do you just show up early? And by early i mean what time are people getting in line to car camp to still receive a coolish, not toooo far spot?
