Lollapalooza Nearly Sold Out

It’s that time of year again, when everyone rushes online so they can buy their tickets before they are gone.  These tickets sell out quickly for a huge music festival that takes place each year in Chicago during the summer.

As the event’s website claims, “Lollapalooza is more than just a music festival.  Taking place each year in historic Grant Park, Lolla is a three-day cultural experience that takes place on 115 acres between Downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan.” 

Three-day tickets went on sale March 24, and single-day passes went on sale the day after.  According to a Lollapalooza spokeswoman, three-day passes sold out in about 45 minutes.  Single day tickets for August 1 sold out in 40 minutes. 

For now, the only passes available are premium passes.  VIP passes range from $1,850-1,857.  Platinum passes cost from $3600 and up. 

This music festival has genres such as alternative rock, punk rock, heavy metal, hip hop, and electronic.  The lineup has more than 50 bands performing.  There will be performers such as  Sam Smith, The Weekend, A$AP Rocky, Tyler the Creator, and many more.  You can go check out the lineup on Lollapalooza.com. 

This music festival will be taking place this summer from July 31 through August 2.  The festival website has recommended hotels for out-of-towners.  The event expects to host more than 160,000 people over the three-day period.
