Got em! Can't believe Paul is coming back to Chicago. That's four out of the last five years (between Chicago and Indy) that he's played where I live. I can't BELIEVE this luck!!!! See you all there!
great!! When I checked all sold out!! Know you will have fun all three days you going??
-
Going! Love Lolla. Planned on going to Lolla this year anyways before Paul was announced and got the pre-sale pack for 3 days. pumped. sunday line up is weak but the rest is killer.
-
July 31 can't come fast enough!
-
Just got a ticket off of StubHub for Lolla! Super excited!
-
Second email from StubHub saying my Lolla tickets aren't ready yet....I know it's weeks away but I just want to have them in hand already. Missing Paul

Lolla uses wristbands, not tickets, and they were supposed to start sending them right around now...2 to 4 weeks before the festival. Your StubHub seller probably doesn't have theirs yet, so that person can't send it out to you. Hope you get it soon.

There is a contest going on right now to win tickets, airfare, and hotel to see Lollapalooza. I can't find my original email about it! ETA: Found it! http://www.timeout.com/newyork/things-to-do/lollapalooza-vip-flyaway-sweepstakes

My friend just got her wristbands on Thursday - straight from site. So guessing the seller with likely mail mine sometime next week...20 DAYS!!

could not resist after doing many summer US tours the past few years; saw a hotel was available across the street from Grant Park (which I had points for) and rooms on Amtrak opened up as well (points too). I sold Firefly since I dread huge festival crowds but after doing the other three US dates, I needed to be in Grant Park. We all know more US dates will be in the offering sometime in the future but I needed to go to the last confirmed show. Listen to what the man said!

Enjoy, and good luck with the huge crowd at Lolla!

For everyone who will be up front for Lolla, let's all make "Ram On" signs and hold them up before 'Something' so Paul can play it!
-
Just bumping this thread since the show is just a few days away! Weather supposed to be warm and humid; everyone who's going to camp out all day in front of the stage, be sure to hydrate!

Where did you hear that the stream will be partial? I don't doubt it though. It sucks that nearly every time Paul is streamed it's partially but there's obvious reasons. Hopefully "Temporary Secretary" and "Hope for the Future" are part of the set and are broadcasted..
-
FWIW, his set is scheduled from 7:45 pm - 10 pm (central time zone) on Friday night. We'll see how much of it ends up on the live stream, hopefully a lot of it.
-
As of now a 9pm thunderstorm is predicted for Friday night, right around Band On The Run time "Well the rain exploded with a mighty crash, as we fell into the sun, and the first one said to the second one there, I hope you're having fun."
