Coachella welcomes attendees with disabilities. We are dedicated to continually improving our efforts to ensure attendees have access to all festival goods and services, regardless of ability.
It is not acceptable to fake or exaggerate a disability to gain access to disability accommodations. Our ADA department has finite resources and needs to focus these resources on helping those who legitimately require assistance.
Disabled attendees wishing to utilize some of the accessibility services at Coachella will be required to wear an ADA Wristband. This wristband is acquired onsite at one of our Accessibility Services locations. There is not an “ADA ticket” that needed to be purchased in order to utilize accessibility services at Coachella.
Accessibility Services locations are conveniently located throughout the festival to support and address the needs of all attendees with accessibility needs.
We encourage patrons with mobility disabilities to utilize personal forms of transportation, including wheelchairs and scooters. Please note that we will not be renting mobility devices onsite.
If you need to recharge your motorized wheelchair or other medical equipment, you may do so at an Accessibility Services location.
Accessible shuttles are available for guests with disabilities traveling from designated hotels to the venue. ADA guests are strongly encouraged to reach out to Valley Music Travel by phone or email to request an accessible shuttle in advance.
Concierge Line: (267) 223-6751
Email: info@valleymusictravel.com
If requesting in advance is not possible, guests with disabilities can request an accessible shuttle by speaking to the shuttle representative present at their hotel. Upon arrival at the Empire Polo Grounds, ADA guests who require transportation assistance to the main entrance can wait for a ride at the ADA Shuttle Stop Tent located in the northwest corner of the lobby of the Hotel Shuttles lot.
Separate ADA Parking (Lot 14C) will be available for attendees with valid Disabled Person Parking placard, permit or license plate, as well as the applicable proof that it belongs to them.
