Music festival managers
Overview
This is a 4-panel comic meme mocking the notoriously exorbitant pricing of major modern music festivals, with the original post explicitly calling out Coachella. In the first three panels, a man in a red shirt is completely overwhelmed by having far more money than he knows what to do with: he first notes he has way too much money, then panics wondering what to do with all his cash, then begs desperately for someone to take some of his overflowing money. The fourth panel reveals that this hyper-wealthy person is how music festival managers imagine their target audience, joking that festivals set extremely high ticket, food, and add-on prices under the assumption all attendees are wealthy enough to easily afford the exorbitant costs. This meme criticizes how inaccessible expensive major festivals like Coachella have become for average people.
Origin notes
This meme originates from Reddit, where it was originally posted with the title coughcoughCoachellacoughcough, which directly references the widespread complaints about Coachella's extremely high ticket, vendor, and accommodation prices in recent years. The meme was created using the popular meme editing app Mematic, and includes creator handle watermark 'MYGUMSAREBLEEDING' and 'made with mematic' at the bottom of the image.
