I think it just depends on who delivers your mail. Some follow the rules, some don't.
This. Our UPS guy is awesome and just leaves stuff by the door as long as it is not raining. Our USPS person is a pain because they don't even knock on the door. They just leave those "missed you" cards and make us go to the post office.

I went online and rescheduled the delivery for tomorrow and signed the stupid note and left in the mailbox. They tried to deliver it at 11:45 this morning so I'll just come home on my lunch tomorrow and put it safely inside my house. I only had one note, hopefully my car camping pass and wristband were together. My luck, I'll come home tomorrow and have my wristband and a note saying they tried to deliver my camping pass.

I've always wanted to go to Coachella, but living in the Midwest certainly makes it difficult. Do you guys just fly out there with a tent and camp, or do you stay in a hotel? If you don't mind me asking, how much is going costing you? I might have to get over my fear of flying and make it out there, but I need to know how much to save.
You can do both. This is my first year but most people I think do the hotel packages. Here's my breakdown of cost as best as I can:
Ticket - $350 Flight - $250 Hotel (2 nights in San Diego) - $200 Rental Car - $300 w/ gas Food - $150 Car Camping Pass - $75 Camping Gear - $100 Beverages - $100 Misc - $100
Total - Around $1,625.
I plan on buying all my camping gear in San Diego before driving out, and probably just returning it to Wal-Mart when I get back to San Diego.
Also, I'm going solo. Obviously these costs can be greatly reduced if you bring a few friends and split costs of stuff.

I bought a hotel travel package at presale: 4 tickets, shuttle passes, and hotel with 2 queen beds for 3 nights = $787 each.
This was offered through Coachella?
Yup. Most of the options are a little more expensive, although one or two were cheaper. The catch is that you need to have a group of 2 or 4 for it to work. But I was able to buy in December and not have to deal with any on sales, which was nice.

That's pretty awesome. I might have to look into that next year.
I'm always wary of NOT camping nearby though. I feel like you're beholden to the festival grounds if you don't camp - you need to buy all your food/drinks there, etc.

I'm a little disappointed not to be camping, I just didn't want to deal with the stress of assembling everything I needed to camp and flying cross country (the friends I'm going with wouldn't have been helpful with this either). And I'm going to be able to enjoy the fest so much more with a good night sleep and a real shower, maybe even a morning swim.

I'll be looking into it too! My only issue is that it's 3 nights instead of 4, but I see that there is an option to add a night for most hotels.

Oh and if you are camping, bring earplugs. Lots of partying happens back at camp since the music ends early, which is cool if you also want to party, but if you want to sleep...notsomuch.

I couldn't imagine doing any fest or concert without earplugs anymore. It was after Coachella '09 and the ringing in my ears that lasted at least three days afterwards I bought my first set of etymotics.
I suggest everyone get a pair. I don't know how the staff of small bars and clubs with live music go without these.

Are there any in particular that you suggest? How much do they usually run?

Do earplugs really still allow you to hear the music just as good as you would without them? Like, I know there are some advanced, crazy earplugs out there but I never actually tried them. Do you still have the same listening experience or does it get muffled at all?
!!
oh well still grateful for the remaining awesomeness of it.
