If you have been to Coachella, you know that attending the event is a bit pricey. Well, as it would turn out, it is actually the most expensive festival in the world!
The Guardian and No.1 Currency compiled all of the factors that go into attending a festival such as tickets, accommodations, food and beverage, etc. They found that when it is all added together, The Coachella Music and Arts Festival costs the average attendee about $277 per day (tickets alone account for $125 per day). Close behind Coachella is Belgium’s Tomorrowland at 273.24 per day. Beer and meals at Coachella was also found to be the most expensive.
If you are looking to save some cash, head to Serbia for the Exit festival – where tickets cost just a little more than $120.
