Apps to Make Your Weekend at Coachella a Blast
Introduction
The
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is arguably the most famous event of
its kind in the world. In two decades of existence, it has managed to climb to
the top spot and attract the biggest stars in the business. I have attended
five so far and intend to go for as long as there is a love of music and fun in
me. Still, all is usually not as perfect as you'd like it to be. Just like any
major event attracting tens of thousands of people, the logistics around it can
be a challenge. Plan in advance to get tickets before they are sold out
The
first thing you ought to do is plan everything well in advance. Coachella
tickets can be notoriously difficult to get if you don't book them in time. The
festival is usually held in April so you are advised to do your research and
buy months before that. Official, festival-approved apps will point you in the
right direction and let you make a purchase. The second piece of the puzzle is
knowing how to get to Coachella. Consider your distance and whether you're
simply driving from LA or have to fly over from Florida or New England. Some
people believe renting a car is the answer to all their problems but that
doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Do your research. Opt for camping to avoid spending too much
The
next question that should be answered is that of accommodation. How big is your
budget? Would you rather stay in a 5-star hotel or would you prefer to camp?
Even though I could probably afford a decent hotel, I always prefer to camp. It
gets me in the festival mood, saves money, and is simply a much more exciting
experience. Coachella camping is pretty much its own thing with a unique set of
rules that you need to pay attention to. If you choose to go down this path, be
sure to get informed and know how wild you can get without getting into
trouble. As with tickets, be sure to book your spot on time. Don't forget to
have a Coachella map on your smartphone at all times - and have fun. Rely on online resources if this is your first time at
Coachella
Travel,
tickets, and accommodation are just the tip of the iceberg - especially for
first-timers. Everything from food to cabs to souvenirs is well worth
considering in advance so as to avoid getting ripped off. If you feel like you
need a Coachella for dummies sort of crash course on how to survive the
festival, I have a little secret to share. I found a convenient little list of
apps that will help you get everything together and organize your trip with as
little stress as possible. Apps for an Amazing Weekend at Coachella Festival
If you find yourself unable to attend every single gig on the list, you can always watch some of them online. Check the Coachella live stream schedule and know the right times to tune in.
Conclusion
Going
to see any of Coachella's superstar headliners is an experience to remember.
Getting there and surviving the frenzy is another matter altogether. The
logistics can be tricky so know that taking care of tickets, transportation,
and accommodation well in advance is key to success. There are more than a
couple of online resources - most available in app form - which can make the
whole process pretty painless. Consider using them and you'll have more time to
focus on all the fun aspects of your adventure.
