    I assume this is per person. Because I'm in for over $700 already just for ticks and camping for my wife and I.

    We're going to try to live cheap while we are there. $100 a day for the 2 of us, and I'm hoping there will be some left over. I hate to drink beer in the heat, so that helps.

    I like how most of your choices involve getting something for free! With tickets, hotel room, food/water, locker and merchandise I know it's going to be more than $1000.

    just because a person is spending 1000 doesn't necessarily mean they are living it up. I will be spending over $1000 and I am still camping and hardly drinking.
    Flight and car and tix add up quick.

    I'm paying for the flight and tickets for myself and my girlfriend, so A LOT. Rent and phone bills have been put on hiatus to afford it.

    I'm finally taking my parents up on a graduation gift. That covers 3-day pass, camping tickets, airfare, rental car and probably a little spending $$$. Remember folks, if you live in CA vote democrat. It has a trickledown effect that benefits me.

    Not richey-rich but spoiled.

    I have a relative who lives close to the grounds so I stay there for free. Although last year I had to pay more for the vip tickets cause I waited too long to buy tickets. But I got the cash so I don't give a shit.

    Hey, I'll be at that Tokyo Police Club show!

    and back to topic....

    Tickets + Camping onsite + food/merch/water = Probably about $500.

    with tickets, hotel room for 3 nights (split up amongst a bunch of people), beer/snack/supplies for the room, gas, food/water/beer during the fest, possible merchandise buying....somewhere between $800 & $1000 I'm thinking

    I marked 700, but now that I think about it I'm almost already there so it will probably be closer to 1000.
    hotel and car / 3 was around $225/person, plus tickets, plus another 300 for plane

    i dont keep track of how much i spend on beer, that would be way depressing.

    We actually paid for our tickets this year and decided to camp. He spent like $700. I figured since we had no camp gear, I would take care of that expense...I keep looking over at the pile of reciepts and saying to myself, "Self, this is silly! You could walk to the venue from home!" But, self just smiles and says, "But, you haven't really done Coachella until you've camped Coachella! And, now that you're jobless, you may very well be calling that stuff, home..." (For almost $300, it's cheaper than rent, and I know the neighborhood's alot more fun!)
    i just purchased my ticket and i know it's still a year away but oh my gosh i am so freaken excited i'm pissing glitter. :O najahed

    Beer, food and Merch @ the fest for 2 = ???
    1 RV camping spot @ undisclosed offsite location = $150 (already paid for)
    Gas from Vegas and back = $200 min

    New sunglasses = $100
    New clothes (swim trunks, shorts, shirts) = $200 - $300


    Having the time of my life @ Coachella with my girl and our friends = priceless

    I am thinking around 500 total including hotel. But this poll doesn't really have an option between $400-$700.
