A TikToker said 2 burritos and 2 ice coffees at Coachella cost her $64, as people share ways the expensive festival disappointed them
- TikToker Jackie Tanti showed how much food and drink $64 got her and a friend at Coachella.
- It wasn't much — just two burritos and two ice coffees.
A TikToker shocked her audience with a complaint and how little $64 got her and a friend at Coachella — two burritos and two ice coffees.
"Just so you all know, these two coffees and two burritos cost us $64," Jackie Tanti said in an 11-second TikTok, which has been viewed 2.9 million times. "Capitalism really popped off today."
Despite saying the exponential prices were the "shittiest part" of the festival, Tanti said the food itself was "actually pretty good."
People in the comments were shocked at Tanti's video.
"This is why I never get jealous when Coachella takes over my feed every year," one person said.
"I can justify the ticket cost, but not the food, camping or anything else," another person said, referencing the notoriously high price of getting into Coachella. Tickets start at $549 for general admission, with VIP tickets setting people back over $1,000.
"I think I'd be in debt for the rest of my life if I went to Coachella for a weekend," one viewer mused.
Some people shared their own stories with festival food. One person said while at Coachella they bought two seltzers and a soft pretzel and it came to almost $70. "So yeah, sounds [about] right," they said. Another said that while at Rolling Loud, a hip hop festival, they spent "$40 on a bland strawberry lemonade and some chicken tenders."
Another person claimed to have spend $50 on "two ice teas."
Callie Ahlgrim and Courteney Larocca reported for Insider that the price points for normal food and drink options at Coachella were "absurd." They said a single Heineken beer cost $15, and that an order of two hot dogs and two orders of french fries came to $45.
Insider's Andrew Lloyd also reported on people have been sharing the realities of attending Coachella, noting that it is "way less glamorous" than people think with huge crowds, massive lines for the bathrooms, and lots of dust.
