Lollapalooza: Age Restrictions and Other Burning Questions
So, you wanna hit up Lollapalooza, huh? Good choice. You’re about to embark on a weekend of epic music, questionable fashion choices, and overpriced water. But before you start planning your outfit (hint: neon is always a good option), let’s tackle the age-old question: How old do you have to be to actually get in?
Age Restrictions: Are You Old Enough to Rock Out?
Alright, let’s cut to the chase. If you're under 18, you're going to need a guardian angel (or at least a guardian). Lollapalooza requires all attendees under the age of 18 to be accompanied by a ticketed adult. Yes, that means your mom or dad gets to relive their youth vicariously through you. Tough luck, kid.
But don’t despair, young grasshopper. There’s a silver lining. If you’re 17, you might be able to sneak in a little independence. Some states allow 17-year-olds to attend events without adult supervision. So, check your local laws before you start planning your escape.
Other Age-Related Lollapalooza Conundrums
Now that we’ve cleared up the age restrictions, let’s dive into some other burning questions.
- Can I bring my little sibling? If your sibling is 8 or under, they can come for free with a ticketed adult. But remember, two kids per adult max. So, no, you can't bring your entire family.
- Do I need an ID? You betcha. Be prepared to show your ID at the gate. Fake IDs? Not a good idea. You'll just end up looking like a bigger idiot than you already are.
