Redditors at r/coachella largely agree on one thing: Coachella’s VIP upgrade isn’t delivering overwhelming value—except for the game-changing Yuma stage fast-track entrance. Festivalgoers highlight this separate access as a huge time saver amidst packed crowds.
Additional VIP benefits like easier entry to food vendors, drinks, and restrooms—especially near outdoor stages—offer a more relaxed experience with fewer lines and less crush. The VIP zones also now include upgrades like expanded comfy areas and faster service at Indio Central Market’s local and premium food stalls.
That said, many feel that aside from Yuma and comfort perks, the steep VIP price tag doesn’t quite match the offerings. Some longtime fans nostalgically recall the Artist Guest passes as the ultimate VIP status, which today’s upgrades don’t fully replicate.
The bottom line: If you crave stress-free access to Yuma’s busiest shows and a more spacious, chill festival vibe, VIP is a worthy splurge. For casual attendees, the standard experience still holds strong. Watch for possible enhancements in future Coachella VIP experiences as the festival evolves.
