Personalized tickets
However, on its website (under the FAQ), the Lollapalooza warns that the tickets are only available personalized as “mobile tickets”: “Due to the increased number of counterfeit tickets in circulation in recent years, and tickets being sold at inflated prices on the black market, work is being done we with personalized tickets.”

If tickets have been purchased for several people, the festival goers will first find them in the Ticketmaster account. In order for every festival visitor to have access to the festival site, each ticket must be passed on to the individual person via the ticket transfer.
Here, too, the festival warns: “Please note that the possibility to transfer your tickets ends on Saturday, 9/9/23 at 9 am. All transferred tickets must first be accepted by the recipients!”
