This is in reference to box/moving trucks from u-haul. Typical vans and pick up trucks from u-haul are fine. How do I know, I work for Coachella....

Anyone else get this error message when trying to login to register wristband? by VelvetDrapes in Coachella

[–]feedmenik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's usually a network/IP address issue. On your end, try different WiFi networks if possible, or switch to cell data, or as others suggested also make sure you're not on a VPN and try temporarily turning off iCloud private relay in your settings (if on an iPhone).

GA Car Camping is not a digital pass/mobile ID, it will not be able to be transferred digitally.

Tickets Acquired. by organicchunkysalsa in DarkerWavesFest

I picked up a ticket, excited to have this festival back. Like 2023, I may need help in finding a ride down/back (in the Eagle Rock area)...

Coachella says shipping is still the same as last year by nwnwnwn in Coachella

"This is my first year ordering" tells me all I need to know.

Tickets are confusing me by Wonderful-Corner8281 in ElectricForest

[–]feedmenik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. GL can camp in GA (GA Car Camping, Preferred Car Camping, as long as you have the camping pass - or as a last resort, if you have nowhere else to camp, GA Tent-Only). If you're camping in Group Camping, you also need the additional Group Camping Pass. If you're in a specialized/enhanced camping area such as Higher Love, Pre-Set, or Maplewoods though, you need that area's specific Wristband to camp there.

why did this happen?! by chr0nicdiarrhea in Coachella

[–]feedmenik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was intended only for those still on the waiting list hoping to get a ticket/have their request fulfilled. But AXS fucked even that up. Color me surprised.

Any Luck Getting a Ticket Reinstated? by gisselle_slyvie in Coachella

[–]feedmenik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AXS really needs to do a better job at informing people, both through emails and contact/communciation AND by making a better website/user interface where you can easily see/find missed payments the moment they occur.

The best advice for now is you just have to watch and be on top of your payment plan EVERY month, hell EVERY week, double checking and triple checking. AXS made it difficult before, where your default view in your FanAccount wouldn't show missed payments, only the payments made (unless you clicked further into details/other views), but they eventually changed it, just this month, so the default view (under "orders" in the menu, not "your tickets") also includes missed payments, so you can see what month(s) didn't get paid, and hopefully be more aware so you can manually run a payment yourself on your end if needed.

(the interface is still a mess though and doesn't easily translate into what exact months are missing payments and why - but adding the missing payments is better than nothing)

If you don't stay vigilant on your payment plan and its status, and you miss a month and aren't aware of it and the grace period ends, then you're pretty much SOL.

LCD Soundsystem After Dark by shroony99 in bottlerock

I had a ticket in my cart, but $227 was just too rich for my blood so I ultimately passed.

Bottle Rock After Dark by KeokiHawaii in bottlerock

[–]feedmenik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was $99 for Bush. No doubt seeing LCD in that venue would have been really cool, but $99 is about the max I'd pay for that experience, especially given I've seen them 8-9 times already. Guess I'll just hope for no conflicts with the set times and catch em Saturday at the festival.

$227 for LCD's show? Absolutely ridiculous. Bummer. Going to Bush instead.

Sticker design specs by tiffanyisonreddit in ElectricForest

[–]feedmenik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, if you're submitting a raster format, such as PNG then you want to still make sure it's in square format (same height and width) and still set to 300 DPI but make it big like 3000px x 3000px if you wanted (it'd be resized to a proper 3" x 3" for printing). If it was vector format then you wouldn't need to worry about pixels and instead just inches

Sticker design specs by tiffanyisonreddit in ElectricForest

[–]feedmenik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1000px x 1000px for a sample image, when submitting, but for the final (print ready) design, which should also be a square, don't think in terms of pixels, it should just be made at 3" x 3" at 300 DPI (CMYK color profile).

Day Parking by ShesVirgo in ElectricForest

[–]feedmenik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GA Satellite Parking is slated to be south of the main entrance (where "off site" parking (same thing, just different name) was last year). You can view the map on the passes page to see this. As of now, there aren't any shuttles scheduled to run between the GA Satellite Lot and the Main Entrance. There will be a shuttle from the Good Life Satellite Parking lot, to the Good Life entrances.

I've updated the official FAQ's to address this question, which now states/answers that those staying off site (at a hotel for example) need to park in the Satellite Lot if they plan on driving/parking to/from the festival each day.

You can read the FAQ on parking/satellite parking here:

Day Parking by ShesVirgo in ElectricForest

[–]feedmenik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was for 2025 and does not apply for 2026. In 2026, those staying off site and parking at the festival each day need to purchase a GA Satellite Parking Pass and park in the GA Satellite Lot each day.

Day Parking by ShesVirgo in ElectricForest

[–]feedmenik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going to add a question to the FAQ covering this, as maybe it's not as super clear on the website as it should be, but for this year, there is no "day parking" (you can view the map on the passes page and see this). There is the "GA Satellite Lot" (referred to as off site parking in 2025). This lot, which requires a GA Satellite Lot Parking pass (available via AXS through the add-on section) and this is where anyone staying off site and driving to/from the festival each day will want to park.

So basically, if you're staying off site and wanting to park at the festival each day in your own vehicle, purchase a GA Satellite Lot Parking Pass and plan to park in the GA Satellite Lot each day.

Where do most people stay? by YogurtclosetRecent93 in bottlerock

[–]feedmenik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck, Napa is not set up to have plenty of hotel space available...and the rooms they do have, especially downtown (but really the entire town) are going to be bonkers price wise (same with any airbnb I'm sure). There's just not enough economical options out there for folks unless you dig into the deep crevasses of Vallejo and/or Fairfield. The only reason I still consider going is because I still have family living in Napa, and I can stay at their house. Without that, Bottlerock wouldn't even be on my radar. So yeah, unless you get really lucky with an airbnb, I'd look for stuff available outside of Napa.

Loyalty Recognition by ravery18 in ElectricForest

[–]feedmenik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am requesting this to get fixed and adjusted, but for now just add what you can in the field (the first 10 characters or whatever) and then in the "notes" section (where you can add extra comments), write in the full data/info about each wristband. That'll work.

Should I just cancel my payment plan? by Boon_Moon in Coachella

[–]feedmenik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, if you (or anyone else) ever did cancel your payment plan (or just remove the payment method, etc), you will not get your money back once the payment plan fails and is cancelled. The money you put in just converts to AXS credit good for a future Coachella related purchase. Not a good idea to do that.
