Coachella news has dominated the music and lifestyle board recently, but the overpriced, inedible concessions at the event tops them all. Outraged critics who are calling out the music festival for being a "money trap" as hundreds of thousands descended on the Southern California desert.
One influencer claimed she spent over US$ 100 for her meal consisting of tacos and lemonade on the first night of Coachella last 11 April, which pop megastar Lady Gaga headlined on the festival’s main stage.

Although she complimented the lemonade, she admitted she didn’t like the food very much. "They’re not good, not good at all. The tortillas are cold."
In the post’s comments, users were stunned by the prices. "These prices are diabolical," said one commenter. "Coachella seems like a miserable financial trap everyone falls into," noted another. "It’s literally the worst festival of all time," a third person added.
