Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (80) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (81)

I purchased passes for both weekends. Can I put them both on at the same time?

No. Only wear one wristband at a time. If you wear more than one wristband, the scanners will be unable to read them properly and you will not be able to enter the festival.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (82) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (83)

I bought passes from a "friend" (scalper, third party, some dude off Craigslist that I'm telling you is my friend). How can I verify that they're valid and will work?

Only passes you originally purchased through Coachella’s official ticketing partners can be guaranteed as valid.

Do not buy passes from an unauthorized 3rd party or scalper. We will not offer customer service, authentication or support for any passes purchased through any unauthorized 3rd parties. You will only know that your third party pass is valid when it successfully scans into the Venue EACH day. Activating a wristband does not guarantee the wristband is (or will remain) valid for all three days.

Scalped passes are subject to cancellation at any time without warning.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (84) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (85)

Can I give my pass to a friend? How?

Sure! Hand your package to your friend when it arrives or change your shipping address to theirs (it will still have your name on it though so please alert your friend). Make sure your friend registers their own wristband. Tell them to follow the directions in the package.

(You will still show up in our records as the original purchaser. That can’t be changed.)

Please note: If your package is unable to be delivered for any reason whatsoever, you, the original purchaser, will be required to pick it up from the Box Office as no alternate Will Call pickups are allowed.

So, I can bring a parasol, but not an umbrella? What's the difference?

You’ve got it right. Here are some examples:

If it falls into the dimensions of 23” long / 32” wide opened its good.

Do I have to sleep in a tent?

No. If you are Car Camping, you may sleep in your car, on your car, next to your car or in many other creative sleeping places as long as they follow all camping rules and are within the lines of your allotted camping spot.

If you are tent camping, you may sleep on the ground in your spot without a tent if you really want to.

Do not sleep in the fire lanes. You could get run over by the porta-potty trucks. Ouch.

Can I bring family to the camping area?

All campground attendees must be 18 years of age or older, with ID. Or, if under 18, all attendees must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. (See below for information on Legal Guardianship) Every camper must have their own festival pass.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (201) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (202)

What defines a legal guardian?

A legal guardian is a person who has the legal authority and corresponding duty to care for the personal and property interests of another person, called a ward. Usually, a person has the status of guardian because the ward is incapable of caring for his or her own interests due to infancy, incapacity, or disability.

Most countries and states have laws that provide that the parents of a minor child are the legal guardians of that child, and that the parents can designate who shall become the child’s legal guardian in the event of death.

A legal guardianship is obtained through court order, and the legal process for doing so is initiated by the prospective guardian.

Please note: An older sibling, older friend or friend of the family does not automatically count as a legal guardian. A legal guardian is someone who would be held legally responsible for you by a court of law. Generally, a legal guardian is the one who takes care of the minor when the minor’s birth-parents are no longer living, in jail or have lost their legal rights.

Where are the lockers or locker check-in tent?

Both are located inside the venue. We'll post a 2024 map closer to show dates or you can head to an info kiosk for directions.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (205) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (206)

What do I need to bring to the festival to receive my locker access?

Please bring your phone and we’ll scan the mobile ticket inside the email you receive from us. We will email a copy to you closer to the show. If you have any troubles, please contact lockers@coachella.com

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (207) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (208)

How do I get my locker ticket?

You will receive an AXS Mobile ID digital locker pass within 10 minutes after you complete your purchase. Please note, your pass will be scanned at locker check in from the Coachella Festival app or download the AXS App (iOS and Android).

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (209) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (210)

Do you guarantee to hold my locker reservation?

Yes. We will hold your locker reservation throughout the entire festival until you claim it.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (211) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (212)

Will you explain the locker deposit?

Let’s use the Medium Locker as an example. The ticketing company (AXS) charges $84 and a mobile pass becomes available in your AXS Account. When you check in to begin using your designated locker, you are given a lock to use with your locker. When you return the combo lock to us, we will give you $10 cash back. Your net total cost for the Medium Locker for three days is $74. You’ll leave the festival with $10 in your pocket – gas money for the drive home.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (213) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (214)

I hate lines...?

We all hate lines. Help us help you quicker by coming with your mobile ticket ready to be scanned. When it’s time to go home, all combo lock deposit refunds are issued quickly. Just give the combo lock and your mobile ticket to one of us and we’ll scan you out and hand you a $10 bill. No forms, no IDs, no complications. Sometimes there’s a line, but it moves fast, and it won’t take long to get your money.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (215) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (216)

Will I be able to use the locker any time I want?

You must have a festival wristband to access the lockers during show hours. When the event is over each night, the grounds are closed, and you will not be able to access the lockers until the following day.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (217) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (218)

Can I pay for the lockers at the event?

Maybe. There is a limited supply of lockers – and all of them are available online right now. Every locker will probably be reserved online before the festival begins. No one knows for sure. If the lockers sell out online, as they have for the past 9 years, there won’t be any lockers available to rent at the festival – unless someone cancels at the last minute.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (219) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (220)

If I can't make it to the festival or don't need my locker reservation, can I get a refund for my locker?

You must contact us via email by the Friday before your festival weekend. Please emaillockers@coachella.comwith your original order confirmation number and reason for your refund request. Refunds will not be processed on site - you must email us in advance. Please do not sell or purchase a locker to/from a third party as the locker will not be redeemable onsite.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (221) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (222)

What happens if I lose my combo lock?

If you lose the combo lock, you will forfeit the $10 deposit. You will receive a new combo lock and will need to pay another refundable $10 deposit. Once you return the new combo lock, you will receive the second deposit back. If you find your “lost” combo lock and can unlock it, you’ll receive your original deposit back too.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (223) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (224)

Can I change my clothes in your locker tent?

Yes, we’ve got you covered.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (225) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (226)

Do I bring my own padlock?

No! You cannot use your own lock. You must use the lock provided by us. There is no additional charge for the use of our lock, which remains as our property. A $10.00 refundable lock deposit is collected when you reserve the keyless combo lock online.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (227) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (228)

If someone had a locker at a previous festival, will the same combination open my locker this weekend?

No. You set your own combination.

Here’s Why:

All locks are removed from the lockers and returned for the $10 deposit at the end of each festival. All combinations are re-set to “0000”. The locks are placed in a bin and one is chosen at random when you check-in. You then personally create your own four-digit code for your Lock.

COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death.

Public Safety

Security and safety are of utmost importance. We work hand in hand with law enforcement and public safety agencies to help ensure the safety of our events.

You will notice safety measures upon your arrival such as dog sweeps, bag checks, and walk-through metal detectors (magnetometers, open gates or evolve systems) for all attendees, staff, and performers.

Please note that we will implement safety screenings upon festival entry. Please arrive early and note the Prohibited Items list. Prohibited items will be refused upon entry and must be returned to the patron’s vehicle or disposed of by the patron.

In the event of an emergency, information may be relayed on the video screens, over the audio system, and/or through mobile notifications via the festival app.

If you, or a friend, require medical assistance please locate your nearest medical tent or alert a staff member. And remember: if you see something, say something. Flag down any staff member or public safety official if you notice something that doesn’t seem quite right.
