What kind of bag should I bring to Lollapalooza?
Im going to lollapalooza this weekend, and Im not really sure what type of bag to bring. Some items I will be bringing are:
water bottle (either plastic or reusable, not quite sure yet)
sunscreen (mini if possible)
handsanitizer (mini)
cash
cellphone
map/schedule
Id like to just wear a fanny pack and call it a day, but Im not sure if thats the best way to go. Is it bad to keep all your belongings on your person? Id prefer to have it all with me so I dont have to worry about running back to a locker or something, but if that is not safe, then Ill do what I need to do. Also, I dont even know if all the things I planned on bringing will fit in a fanny pack.....
SO. Does a fanny pack work? And if not, do you bring a bigger bag and carry it around with you?
Personal experience would be great. Thanks!!

When is the best time to buy Lollapalooza Tickets?
I found a site called vertextickets which seems to be selling 2010 passes... I dont know how legit this could be, due to the fact that the lollapalooza site has not even announced them yet. What would be the best channels to go through for these tickets? Also, what is the true release date of the tickets?
Answer: I havn't heard of any lala bands even scheduled yet. I would wait until they go on sale and don't get scammed by some internet site.

How can i see Coldplay up close at Lollapalooza this year?
im going to lollapalooza this year, because im probably the biggest Coldplay fan in the world. im dying to be up at the front barriers to see them. how can i make sure im there in the front? should i sit at the stage all day? they perform at 8:30. whats my best chance of getting to see them from the very front?
Answer: You could sit at the stage all day but that seems like a waste. You could just linger around the stage and if you see people heading over at around 5 you could go then.

How do shift changes at Lollapalooza work?
Im going to volunteer to work at Lollapalooza this summer and I was just curious how shift changes work. When youre shift is over will someone tell you? Do you have to punch out? Can you watch bands once youre shift is over? Im really curious how it all works.
Answer: If I know festivals, you're probably given a walkie talkie, or a senior persons number.
Yes I'd imagine you can watch bands, my friend's did it at a festival in England, and once their shift was finished they could mill about the festival.
Someone will come and relieve you of you're duties.
(Although they are B**tards sometimes, and may give you 8pm - 8am as you're shift)

Would security open sealed water bottles at Lollapalooza (Chicago) if I were to try to bring clear alcohol in?
My friends and I were planning on bringing resealed water bottles (heating the caps in order to replace them without breaking the seal) with a clear alcohol into Lollapalooza this year and I want to know how thorough they are with searches. This is my first Lollapalooza experience but Ive heard they will open and smell bottles at some concerts and festivals.
Answer: My husband and I did that and it didn't work. The security guy could tell right away it was alcohol. They shake the bottles and they could tell because alcohol makes lots of bubbles more than water.

How early should I arrive to see Muse up close at Lollapalooza?
I am new to Lollapalooza and Im not sure like how soon crowds will start to form around the stage. I want to be somewhat up close. Being in front would be a dream, but I just want to be able to see the band up close, so how early should I arrive at the stage?
Also take the factor that a lot of Muse fans are also Coldplay fans and might be at Coldplay over Muse. So would this affect how early I should show?
Answer: Lollapalooza is a HUGE event. I myself am going like two hours early. So you might want to be there earlier than that.

If you want a pretty good spot at lollapalooza how early should you get to that stage?
So Im going to lollapalooza this year and I wanted to know a couple things:
1. How early should you get to a stage to get 5-7 rows back?
2. How crazy are the crowds?
3. Is the Chow Town vegetarian friendly?
4.Whats the best way to get a close spot without waiting from 11 am?
Thanks to all that respond. Please dont comment if youve never been, I want to hear from people with experience!
Answer: get there as early as you can, there are a lot of people and everyone wants to be up front
crowds can be pretty crazy, I try to stay away from anything that looks like a problem
you can get vegetarian foods
there really is not a better way without being unfair to the people that have been there waiting a long time

Going to lollapalooza with people I barely know?
This week, Im supposed to go to lollapalooza (a big music festival in chicago), but Im sorta nervous. I dont get me wrong, Ive been to lollapalooza the last 4 years, but its going to be different this year because my friend whos a year older (been friends with since we were little) than me is bringing along her 6 friends. Now, keep in mind that theyre all planning to do acid, shrooms, molly, etc which isnt strange. I dont do those drugs and im never planning on doing so. Im also planning on getting my own weed because theyre probably going to get stuff thats been laced.
I dont like her friends one bit, but i just recently found out theyre coming along. I just want to enjoy the music and I dont want to let drugs ruin it for me. What should I do??
ps. english is my 2nd language so sorry if i mess up a bit. Im 15 and a sophomore btw. Her friends are going into senior year. I dont give a **** if theyre doing drugs because its on them, but I dont want to let them ruin it for me.
