This is going to be my first year going to Coachella and I barely have enough money to get there. I came up with this idea of taking my Polaroid camera and snapping pictures of people for like, three bucks so I can survive through the day. Kind of like those annoying people at the entrance to amusement parks only....not as annoying. My question is, would there be some Nazi security coming after me for doing this, or would it be cool?????

I'd buy a polaroid shot for $3 no problem.

it's not a bad idea...but you very well could have your camera confiscated and/or be escorted off the grounds for taking money without any sort of sales permit, so just be careful. "Nazi security" aside, sales laws in CA are pretty harsh

If you're camping come by our group and take a few pics of our parties. Asking for donations shouldnt get you in trouble at all.

There's always dudes walking around the parking lot selling water. You could proly charge $2 for a bottle (same as inside) for peeps who are thirsty and forgot to bring water for the walk from the car to the entrance.

most people who want pictures bring cameras + most phones take okay pictures nowadays... good luck though :)

If you stand next to me while I'm making it rain with the $80,000 in singles I plan on bringing into the festival, then you probably won't have to sell photos.

you are correct sir. you have to get it shipped from overseas pretty soon for certain cameras.
-my gf works at a kid's salon where they do "my first haircut", they are running out of polaroids...

Actually there's a camera place near me that still sells the film (expensively) but worth it...

i think you have a cool idea. maybe you could offer something else to personalize it a little bit more than just the polaroid?
i believe asking for donations would be the most worry-free way to go, so you don't get your camera confiscated or some other nonsense.

I saw a guy selling DVDs in the venue...wonder what happened to him when two big buzz cut guys came up to him asking what DVDs he had for sale. Oh wait...
