Coachella revelers have been left furious at the price of food as attendees share some of the eye-watering costs they are being slapped with at the counter.

One partygoer, Jackie Tanti, shared a video on TikTok revealing she spent $64 on just two breakfast burritos and cucumber water.

Tanti made a similar video at last year's Coachella Festival where she allegedly spent $64 on two coffees and a couple of breakfast burritos.

Festival goers this year also found they needed to pay $8 for one Coca-Cola and up to $28 for a double vodka.

According to the Coachella website, all of their food options this year provided by 'top restaurants from across the country.'

'Vendors range from chef-driven concepts to artisanal ice cream shops and crave worthy street food,' they added in their description.

Some of the food vendors will also have options for Coachella attendees that are vegetarians, vegans, or cannot eat gluten.

More than 50 restaurants are contributing food and drink options this year for everyone at Coachella.

Social media users have had a lot to say this year about the food items being sold by various vendors and even did so in a video about last year's prices. 

One TikToker known as @jupywrld revealed that one of the least expensive items she found at Coachella in 2023 was a Chamberlain Coffee for $6.

A backyard bowls smoothie was the next least but it came in at $12 per cup.

The food items that were featured in the video were significantly higher than the drinks - by a lot.

Noodles was one of the highest pricing food items in 2023 and several other Chinese dishes have similar prices at Coachella 2024. The price of a Japanese hot dog last year was $18 and this year, Coachella attendees are expected to pay $45 for two basic hot dogs

Attendees that were looking to snag a slice of plant-based pizza need to spend $14 in order to get one.

Guests that weren't up for pizza did have the option to buy chicken tenders with fries, which according to the TikToker was $17.50.

Japanese hot dogs and plant-based ramen noodles were worth a whopping $18 each and the biang biang noodles were $25 per bowl.

Attendees who wanted two double shots of alcohol to get over the food prices or just to drink allegedly needed to pay $60 in order to do so.

The good news for 2024 attendees was that some of this year's prices were better than last year but that clearly didn't several social media users feel better. 

Coachella, which is one of the most popular music festivals in the US, has more than 50 different food and drink vendors this year

According to Business Insider a slice of pizza at this year's Coachella was $11 a slice and chicken tenders and fries were $17.

An attendee who bought a black coffee however needed to pay $10 in order to do so.

Two basic hot dogs were more than double the amount of last year's cost of a Japanese hot dog but a sumo dog with wasabi, relish, spicy mayo, and minced item was $13.

Music lovers who opted for a classic grilled cheese needed to pay $16 for a regular, $20 for one with tomato, and $22 if they added bacon to the sandwich.

From $12 fries to $16 chow mein veggie bowls, social media users are not having it. 

TikTokers were not the only ones to share their opinions as X (formerly Twitter users) have given a piece of their minds about Coachella 2024's food.

Social media users were shocked, angry, and confused at this year's Coachella prices and some even blamed the rising costs of food in the US

'I could've just made you those burritos,' a TikToker commented on Tanti's video.

Another TikToker was more shocked than angry to see that an $8 coke was actually cheaper than a can of Red Bull.

A few X users who were seemingly not as upset explained why the difference in prices may have happened.

'To be fair the food and drink prices are sky high everywhere in America atm, and these prices will be without tax or tips, which will add 30%,' an X user tweeted. 

One user who responded to that tweet revealed that the cost of drinks at a music festival in Australia were similar in price.

'If you keep attending and paying the prices then they will keep charging you,' another user tweeted.
