Sometimes I worry that American society has never been gone and it will never return. A good case: Coachella Festival attendees reportedly are raising funds to attend tickets.
Coachella officially Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festivalthe annual Music Arts Festival was held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, with Golden Voice featured. The festival usually presents top artists, large art installations and trendy food trucks. But in reality, it’s an excuse to have attendees smile heartily in the desert and try to get as close as possible to celebrities.

Every year There’s a problemincluding increased costs related to tickets, logging and nutrition. But that doesn’t stop people from trying to go. It’s clearly become very expensive, so attendees have been experiencing the event using the Pay (BNPL) scheme up until now, According to On the billboard.

“Around 60% of buyers of general admission tickets at this year’s festival have chosen to use Coachella’s payment planning system, which requires only $49.99 for tickets to the annual concert.”
Sources said the festival is changing the way it sells events and is changing the event to include how “cheap” it is for potential attendees who cannot afford to pay for the trip but are willing to borrow money.

“The festival is currently selling cheap down payments to encourage key action,” the source says. “The message will be the door for $20, or a $50 down. There’s no more about the artist or festival lifestyle. The message is, “If you act today, you can afford this.” ” (Luke: China uses unconventional wars to fight Trump’s tariffs)
Coachella’s Payment Plan It starts at $41, which is about 8% of the ticket price. Festival participants must pay the ticket in full before the concert. If you can’t make payment, you have 10 days to keep your account up to date or risk losing your ticket. They earn credits for previous payments that can be used for the following year’s event. However, credits last only for 12 months.
Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone and Travis Scott are the headliners for Coachella 2025. Missy Elliott, Charli XCX, Megan Tayrion and Zedd also performed.

There should be a threshold for what you can fund. Concert tickets? no. No, clothes? no.
How hopeless and stupid do you have to be if you are trying to get into debt for a concert? Our culture is so rotten that instead of looking for a way to marry, buy a house and start a real life, the 20s try to ruin their financial future…Lady Gaga.
