- The iconic music festival held in California will open its gates later today
- But car campers have taken to Reddit in their droves to relay disappointment
- Some attendees have already been demanding a ‘partial or full refund’
Coachella appears to have already descended into ‘chaos’ with dozens of attendees already branding it ‘the worst in history’ and comparing it to the disastrous Fyre Festival – despite doors not even officially being open.
The iconic music festival held in California, which runs across two weekends every year, will open its gates later today to a sea of A-list celebrities and ticketholders.
But car campers have taken to Reddit in their droves this morning to relay the carnage in the car parks.
In the official Coachella thread on the discussion forum, where ticket holders regularly share updates, advice and complaints, one attendee sparked the discussion with a post that read: ‘Car campers need either a partial or full refund.
‘We’ve waiting nine hours to get inside this festival. No bathroom, no food. Likely won’t be returning.’
And others were quick to share that they too were struggling.
‘For real what’s going on with car camping?
‘Guys, this is my fifth Coachella, and I had never seen such horrible organization for car camping, I’ve been here hours, just crossed the security check and literally no one is moving,’ another wrote, in part.

Similarly, other guests branded the wait at the camping line as ‘chaos’ and ‘bonkers,’ before adding: ‘What is the hold up once you get past security?
‘What is “security” even doing??? Confused.’
‘Wait times. After doing this for thus many years.
‘You’d think they’d have figured out how to get cars through the queue. This is INSANE,’ another weighed in.
‘Whoever is responsible for planning and logistics should be fired and forced to give us all a personal apology. Joking… but not really.’
Another disgruntled ticket holder simply asked: ‘This has to be the worst day zero in history, right?’
On its website, Coachella brands car camping as its ‘most popular overnight option,’ where guests can ‘build an oasis for you and your crew.’
For Weekend One, this option starts at a cost of $160 with the site stating: ‘If you’ve never camped, have you really experienced everything Coachella has to offer?’

DailyMail.com has contacted Coachella for comment.
Weekend One of the Coachella Valley music festival kicks off Friday and runs through Sunday with Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone serving as headliners.
Fans of Justin Bieber are also convinced that he is in Palm Springs this week because he’s planning to make a surprise Coachella appearance.
While Bieber has never headlined the festival, he has performed as a special guest at Coachella four times in the past.
