The 2025 Coachella Festival<\/a> isn\u2019t exactly kicking off as planned.<\/p>\n

Festival attendees heading to the iconic April event in Indio, California, revealed to Business Insider that Thursday\u2019s campsite entry turned into a marathon wait of up to 12 hours<\/a> \u2014 with some still stranded outside the venue.<\/p>\n

\u201cI made a joke earlier that I didn\u2019t know Fyre Festival tickets were included in admission this year, but that\u2019s honestly how I feel,\u201d Adam Roberts said while waiting in his car. \u201cI feel duped.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite shelling out at least $800 per ticket, attendees were left in the dark about the delays, even as the official app and Instagram continued pushing promotional content about American Express and Nobu partnerships.<\/p>\n

Coachella representatives remained silent when approached for comment.<\/p>\n
