Lollapalooza 2025, set for July 31–August 3 at Chicago’s Grant Park, is fueling a ticket buying frenzy as four-day General Admission passes sold out within an hour of going on sale. With official prices starting at $415, resale values have skyrocketed, with verified tickets now ranging from roughly $559 on StubHub to over $1,600 on Ticketmaster resale.
A popular Reddit thread on r/lollapalooza captures the tension perfectly: one user celebrated locking in a 4-day GA for $545.61 — just after the initial wave of $663+ tickets vanished. That deal included a $445 ticket subtotal plus about $100 in fees, which many fans consider reasonable compared to other resale prices.
Comments show a spectrum of experiences: some fans scored mid-$500 tickets; others vented frustration over paying $400+ for just a single day on resale. A few still hunt for last-minute deals or actively use the festival’s waitlist option, which has proven hit-or-miss as cancellations trickle in.
This intense demand, rapid sellout, and surging prices underscore Lollapalooza’s status as a must-attend summer festival — but also highlight the challenges fans face navigating inflated resale markets.
For those still chasing passes:
- Single- and two-day tickets remain available but are selling fast.
- The official waitlist offers a potential backdoor but requires patience and luck.
- Monitoring verified resale platforms for price drops could yield savings.
