There's a really great deal on Craigslist.
Should I buy a ticket/wristband from there?Tickets
Every year thousands of our loving fans think that buying a ticket via Craigslist, eBay, or any broker site will save them some cash and allow them to access the festival. Unfortunately, many of these tickets are either already used or are counterfeits. (One scan invalidates them, but the tickets aren't torn - so they may look perfect but in fact, are not.)
Please don't make us stop you at the gate and send you to the infamous "trouble" table to examine the ticket, notice that it's not yours, and turn you away, sobbing down Michigan Avenue. It's unbecoming and although we'd love to just let you in, you didn't buy it from us and therefore, we cannot validate your story. If you want 100% confidence that you'll be cool, visit Lollapalooza.com to purchase your tickets every single time.
Wristbands
Oftentimes people will try to sell their wristbands to others if they cannot attend a certain day. Unfortunately, the removing of a wristband automatically voids it. Our crack security takes great pain in checking every wristband to assure it has not been removed and replaced. You will be caught and you will be escorted directly from the property. Please do not let them tell you that it's okay while you fork over 200.00 for two days of music - simply visit lollapalooza.com/tickets, call 888.512.SHOW (7469), or go to the box office to purchase tickets. -
Can I mess with my wristband?
- DO NOT remove your wristband between days.
- If wristbands are removed or tampered with whatsoever, they are void and will be confiscated.
- If wristbands are too loose and look like they can be slipped on and off, they will be confiscated.
-
I really want to read your legalese. Where is it?
