I'm taking off Thursday morning and spending the day and night in Vegas. Flights in and out of Palm Springs were over 1000 bucks return and we got our Vegas flights for 400. It was pretty much a no brainer. On Friday the 4 of us are heading out in the morning to my buddy's condo in Palm Springs. I'm guessing that highway is going to bananas heading into Palm Springs. You?

Taking off Thursday morning as well, but we are flying into LAX and driving straight to the campgrounds. Our flights were just over $400 as well.

I have an extra ticket to Coachella weekend 2 if anyone is interested. One of my friends backed out last minute, so I'm trying to get rid of it.
$375

If your plan is to spend a night in Vegas to save money, you may be sadly mistaken.
I was in a similar situation. Could not get the extra day off work, so I just flew into San Diego for just over $400. Wish I could spend the night in Vegas.

This thread title still drives me nuts. I'm also jealous of all of you.

LOL not I'm not expecting to save money. I've been to Vegas way too many times in my life already. We actually got a suite at the Cosmo so already I've spend most of what I would have saved on the flight. Just gonna get dinner, maybe hit Harrah's comedy club and possibly Tryst.
It just seemed as though that 600 bucks that would have been going towards a flight could be spent better - I think it will.

Is anyone from here driving down? I was supposed to fly down with a friend but they backed out last minute and now I have an extra ticket and no flight so I'm a little uncertain what to do.
Anyone have any suggestions? I have never gone to a big festival like this by myself but don't want to miss this as it's an insane lineup

WHY HAVEN'T YOU LEFT YET? Jesus dude, you're doing the drive by yourself in one shot? My friends from Edmonton and Vancouver that were driving left on the weekend.
You definitely have to go. It is an unreal experience. Are you camping?

There is two weekends. Your friends are probably for weekend one and he probably has weekend 2 tickets.
Two of my friends and I are driving down. We have room for one more, but have an extra ticket that we are hoping to sell to a fourth who will fill the spot.

Yeah I have weekend 2 tickets. If you guys end up deciding to fill the spot in the car without the ticket, let me know! You guys doing a straight shot down or stopping half way?

Does anyone want to buy the ticket, be the fourth, and come with us?
$375 for the ticket including camping.
Split gas 4 ways.
Epicness!

Bands are starting much earlier in the day this year than the 3 times I went. 11:15/25am starts is a good idea. I think 12:30 might have been the earliest show when I went in 2010. Longer set times for all it looks like.

Look forward to the week one reviews. Will be there for week 2. Has anyone ever taken a shuttle from Palm Springs to Staples Center for a Kings game? My folks spend much of the winter down there, they told me that when CGY/EDM/VAN play in LA there's enough Canadian interest to charter a bus to the game and back. Might be a good way to see the Canucks get knocked out of the playoffs in game 6.

There's four of us heading down for weekend two, two of us are driving (including myself) and the other two are flying. It's gonna be pretty insane splitting up the drive between the two of us, but it should be a good time. Definitely gonna stop in Vegas, and gonna try and see the Grand Canyon/Hoover Dam on the way down as well. I'm so excited!
Any huge dilemmas for you guys? Assuming the schedule is the same for weekend 2 as it is for this weekend, Black Keys/Explosions In The Sky/M83 is a pretty big one on Friday night, and Miike Snow/SBTRKT/GY!BE on Saturday kinda sucks as well.

I might be interested in this, I have one extra ticket too but I have a friend that might want both my tickets and then I could just take yours and drive down with you guys.
Do you guys have room on your camp site too? Are you guys doing a straight shot down or?
Oh and I'd be interested in seeing game 6 in LA if anyone else was down!
