As the organizers of Lollapalooza Berlin, we say “No to the ticket black market” and support the campaign of the same name.

WHAT IS THE MOBILE TICKET?

Our tickets don’t need paper: Lollapalooza Berlin only uses mobile tickets – easily accessible via your smartphone.

How? It’s easy: The mobile ticket is directly linked to your Ticketmaster account and will be accessible via your Ticketmaster account a few days before the festival. To do so, log in to your Ticketmaster account with your smartphone and show the QR code at the entrance to Lollapalooza Berlin so that it can be scanned.

Ticket transfer can also be done from the start of the presale without your ticket being visible.

Note: It is not possible to access tickets before this time or to receive them in another format (eTicket, print ticket).

WHAT DO I HAVE TO CONSIDER AT THE ENTRANCE?

If you have bought tickets for more than one person, they will all be displayed in your Ticketmaster account. In order for each festivalgoer to gain access to the grounds, each ticket must be passed on to the individual person via ticket transfer. We have summarized this process in the section “How does ticket transfer work?”.

HOW CAN I TRANSFER MY LOLLAPALOOZA BERLIN 2024 TICKET IF WE DON’T TRAVEL TOGETHER, I WANT TO GIVE THE TICKET AWAY OR I AM UNABLE TO COME TO THE FESTIVAL?

You can easily transfer tickets to friends. To do so, log in to your Ticketmaster account, click on the order number and then use the ticket transfer button next to your tickets.

Note: Even if your ticket is not yet visible in your Ticketmaster account, you can already use the ticket transfer service. Ticket transfers are possible from the start of the presale.

HOW DOES TICKET TRANSFER WORK? 

1. Log in to your Ticketmaster account.

2. Select the ticket you want to transfer.

3. Enter the name and e-mail address of the person you want to transfer.

4. The person must now accept the ticket transfer by e-mail.

5. If the transfer was successful, the ticket will be visible in the person’s Ticketmaster account. 

CAN I TAKE MY INFANT WITH ME, EVEN IF THEY DO NOT HAVE A TICKET?

Unfortunately, no. Infants aged 0-2 years also need a valid baby ticket to enter the festival. But don't worry: These are available here free of charge.

UNDER 18s / YOUTH PROTECTION

We welcome attendees of all ages! There are a few things to keep in mind for our youngest festival fans: Children and young people aged between 0 and 16 years may only attend the event if accompanied by a parent/guardian or by a person acting with parental authority, and both are in possession of a valid admission ticket. For young people aged over 16 years, admission to the event when unaccompanied by a parent/guardian or person acting with parental authority is permitted until midnight. The corresponding written parental consent/authorization must be presented upon entry.

To qualify as a “person acting with parental authority” requires that:

  • The person is of legal age and demonstrates the necessary maturity to responsibly provide the necessary support to a child at the event.
  • The person may present authorization from a parent/guardian stating that the person is acting with the consent of the parent/guardian, and a copy of the parent/guardian’s identity card must also be presented together with the authorization.
  • The person can ensure the child gets home safely.

To protect children, we are entitled to deny children admission to the event if, in our opinion, their protection is not sufficiently guaranteed by their parents or persons acting with parental authority. In this context, please note the following: Rock/pop events are generally aimed at adults and are not suitable events for children. Should parents or persons acting with parental authority nevertheless wish to attend such events together with children, they are responsible for the safety of the children. In particular, appropriate hearing protection must be provided. 

>> The form for the written parental consent/authorization will follow here <<

You can find all the information on traveling here.

Have you lost something at the festival? Or have you come across something that someone else is perhaps already sorely missing? To ensure that lost property is returned to its owner, bring it to the infopoint during the festival (see map in the app and on the website). You can also ask about your lost property there. After Lollapalooza we will bring any items that have not been picked up to the Central Lost and Found Office Berlin, Platz der Luftbrücke 6, 12101 Berlin. More info about opening hours and how to get there can be found here.

 

Please don’t pack sandwiches or other food – they are not allowed on the festival grounds. However, there are plenty of food options for everyone on the festival grounds – whether vegetarian, vegan or suitable for allergy sufferers.

Drinking plenty of water is important, especially on hot days. That's why there are drinking water stations at the mobile toilet facilities on the Maifeld and drinking water access points in every fixed toilet at the Olympic Stadium. Here you can get fresh drinking water free of charge.
You can find the exact locations using the map in the Lollapalooza Berlin app and on our website.

Capturing festival moments with your camera – no problem, as long as the pictures are for your personal use. Only compact cameras without lenses and cell phones with a camera function are allowed on the festival grounds. Recordings of any kind are prohibited without the explicit permission of the organizer(s)/artist(s).
 

We want every attendee to have a pleasant and safe festival experience, so please note: Crowdsurfing, stage diving, pogoing and climbing on the stage, trusses and other structures is prohibited. Anyone who does not comply may be excluded from the event.  

Volume is perceived individually. We recommend that you have earplugs with you and use them if necessary to protect your hearing.

If you are at the festival with your children, we would like to urge you to ensure that your little ones are protected from noise, e.g. by bringing special ear muffs. 

The rule in the stadium is: Lights out! If you want to smoke, you can do so on the outside areas of the stadium and on the Maifeld. In the interests of sustainability, please dispose of your cigarette butts in the appropriate receptacles provided on the grounds.
Out of consideration for the children, we ask you not to smoke in the vicinity of children. Smoking
is expressly not permitted at Kidzapalooza.

Please think of the environment and keep it clean by always using the trash cans available. Thank you!

If you would like to find out more about the environment and sustainability at Lollapalooza, you can find the link to our charter here!  

Bringing furry friends and other animals is prohibited.

SAFETY

On the festival area there will be paramedics on duty, who will take care of you in case of emergency. Please keep an eye out on the festival area for the medical tents and the corresponding signposting system. The exact location is marked on the site plan. If you need help, please contact the next steward/security!  

If you are diabetic, please bring enough insulin and take care to eat the right food at the catering stands. We recommend that you notify us in advance if you are bringing your medication and that you use the barrier-free entrance so that you can check in without any problems. 

Medical emergency 
In case of a medical emergency you can call 112, or go to the nearest steward. If it is a medical emergency, the paramedics on the premises will be alerted in parallel. If something seems strange to you, please do not hesitate to report it, even if you are not sure if it is really an emergency. 

If you call 112 or report something to the paramedics, be prepared to answer the following questions: 

  • Where is the patient? 
  • What has happened? 
  • How many people are injured? 
  • What injuries? 
  • Who reports (name is enough - the number gets the 112 automatically and cannot be suppressed!)? 
  • Wait for further inquiries! 


Even without medical training you can help yourself afterwards:
First pay attention to your own safety before you help others. If there is no danger for you, start to give first aid. Reassure - assist: Injured people are usually scared and need reassurance that help is on the way. 
Ask others to assist you and, if necessary, brief emergency services - an ambulance or team of paramedics will be on foot to you. 
Establish a visual screen so that the injured person does not feel that strangers are watching. This is an important issue for many injured people.

During the entire festival, the organizer and its commissioned third parties have the domiciliary rights. The instructions of the organizer's security service must be followed at all times.

See something – say something

To make your visit to the festival a wonderful experience with lasting memories, we ask all festival visitors for tolerance, consideration, civil courage and help in emergencies. This also includes being attentive and reporting things that seem strange or unsafe to the security staff.
Every person should make a personal contribution to safety and cooperation, because the safety and integrity of everyone involved is crucial.
Persons wearing clothing with an inhuman, homophobic or right-wing extremist background will not be admitted to the grounds and will not receive a ticket refund. Persons who attract attention on the premises due to the above-mentioned statements or behavior will be immediately removed from the premises without a refund.

As nice as campfire romance may be, open fires are prohibited on the entire festival site. The dry climate and flying sparks can quickly lead to fires.
If you notice any open fires, such as campfires, please inform the security service.


If there is a fire, please take note:

  • Your own safety always comes first
  • keep calm
  • act decisively.
     

If you report a fire to 112 or the security service, please be prepared to answer the following questions:

  • Where is the fire?
  • What is burning?
  • Are there any casualties? If so, how many?
  • What injuries do the victims have?
  • Who reported the fire?
  • Wait for questions!

Sun 
When the sky is blue and the sun is shining, it is easy to forget a few essential things: 

  • Please always drink enough water to avoid dehydrating your body. Both during the day and at night. Free drinking water is available on the festival grounds.  
  • Put on a lot of sunscreen with a high sun protection factor. 
  • Wear a sun hat or head covering if the sun is too intense, as well as light clothing that covers your skin. 

Please remember to take care of each other and remind one another to hydrate and use enough sunscreen.

Rain 
Please check the weather forecast in the morning and dress according to the forecast. 

Storm & Thunderstorm 
Your safety is our top priority and we have our own festival meteorologist in our team. In the event of a storm or thunderstorm, we will keep you informed and ask you to follow the instructions of the organizer and the security service!

Behavior during thunderstorms 
If we have to evacuate you to safe areas during a thunderstorm, we need your support. Please:

  • Always follow the announcements of the security service
  • Pay attention to the information on our safety boards
  • Pay attention to the information on our social media channels and in the festival app

Avoid trees and branches 
Please keep your distance from trees and other wooded areas: Lightning can strike trees, branches can break off, fall and cause injury.
If you do not manage to reach the evacuation areas in time, please note the following:

  • Avoid elevations or the highest points in the area
  • If possible, find a hollow or depression in the ground and crouch down with your feet together
     

Avoid elevations, look for depressions in the ground
IAvoid proximity to any structures, such as light poles, info towers etc. on the festival site. Of course, we comply with all safety regulations and all structures have been approved by the relevant authorities, but there is still a residual risk in the event of thunderstorms.
Please leave tent structures, including large tents, on the instructions of the security staff, as these are not safe areas.
Avoid all metal objects such as fences or scaffolding.

Setups on the terrain 
Avoid the proximity of any superstructures, such as light poles, info towers, etc. on the festival grounds. Of course, we comply with all safety regulations and all structures have been approved by the relevant authorities, but a residual risk always remains. This also applies to large tents, in which we offer various services: in case of storms and thunderstorms, we ask you to leave them immediately, especially since they are usually closed first. 

Metal lines, fences etc. 
Please avoid any kind of metal lines and fences during thunderstorms.

 

Should we no longer be able to ensure your safety on the festival site, e.g. in the event of extreme weather conditions, we reserve the right to clear the festival site, evacuate you to safe areas or open the site late.


In the event of an emergency, we ask you to do the following:

  • Follow the instructions and information provided by the organizer or their staff
  • Pay attention to your own safety, keep calm and act decisively
  • Take care of your fellow human beings and other festival visitors, look out for each other and support each other
  • In the event of an evacuation, seek the nearest (emergency) exits, which will be indicated by the security staff
  • Keep up to date via our official information and social media channels, but also via the security staff and our security boards

INCLUSIVE FESTIVAL

Lollapalooza Berlin is a festival open to everyone equally. We strive to break down barriers and hurdles for visitors with all kinds of restrictions, not just on site, but also in terms of a shared festival experience.

To visit Lollapalooza Berlin, you need a regular ticket of your choice. If you are in possession of a disabled person's pass with the mark "B", "Bl" or "H", you may take an accompanying person to the festival free of charge. This person requires an additional ticket, which is available in the store under "Escort ticket for people with disabilities and impairments".To purchase an escort ticket, you must be 18 years or older.

The accompanying person will have access to all areas that were purchased with the regular ticket.

If you would like to purchase a baby or kids ticket for wheelchair users or for a person with a severe disability plus companion, you can do so via Ticketmaster Customer Service. You can reach them daily between 10:00 and 18:00 on +49 (0)30 - 40818824.

Please note that there is a separate entrance for wheelchair users and people with severe disabilities and their companions, through which they can enter the grounds together. It is not possible for accompanying persons to enter individually. 

If you have any questions about admission or visiting Lollapalooza Berlin, please send us an email to: barrierefrei@lollapaloozade.com.

Lollapalooza takes place on the grounds of the Olympic Park and the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. The event site and the access routes are mostly flat and easy to use with a wheelchair. We have done everything possible so that all visitors can have an enjoyable and accessible festival experience.

Not all access routes to the Olympic Park are level, and many areas outside the grounds are uneven.

If you encounter a barrier at the festival, you can report it via e-mail to 
barrierefrei@lollapaloozade.com. We will then take it into consideration for next year and, if possible, remove it.

If you bring medicines that need to be stored in a cool place, please register them early so that we can create the necessary storage conditions. You can register your medication at barrierefrei@lollapaloozade.com. In the case of diabetes, you are allowed to bring your pen into the festival area. Please inform security that you need the pen – not everyone is familiar with this issue. Medication such as asthma sprays, headache tablets and allergy medication do NOT need to be registered.

For prescription medications that fall under the Narcotics Act (cannabis or addiction substitutes) please bring a prescription from your treating physician.

Wheelchair-accessible bathrooms are located at several places on the event site, as well as in the Olympic Stadium. These are marked on the site plan, which will be published shortly before the festival. During the festival you will find signs with directions on the site. You can also ask the helpers from the Inclusion service team for directions at any time.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

If you feel unwell, speak to our on-site paramedics. Security and the Inclusion service team can also be contacted in case of a medical emergency. They will then do everything they can to help you quickly and safely.

We want to offer you an event that meets your needs and enables you to participate. You are welcome to express your wishes, needs and questions via email to barrierefrei@lollapaloozade.com. We will then try to quickly implement and answer them.

Have you found a barrier that we have overlooked? Then please send us your impressions, and together we will remove this hurdle. You are also welcome to give us feedback after the event, because it is important to us to always be making changes for the better. We will hear your voice and make improvements together.

To make your visit to the festival a pleasant experience with lasting memories, we ask all festivalgoers for tolerance, consideration, civil courage and help in emergencies. Everyone should make a personal contribution to this, because nothing is more important than the safety and security of festivalgoers. For this reason, the organizer and their authorized third parties have domiciliary rights for the entire festival. The instructions of the organizer’s security staff must be followed at all times.


Anyone wearing clothing with an inhumane, homophobic or right-wing extremist theme will not be admitted to the site and will not receive a refund on their ticket. Anyone who attracts attention on the site due to the above-mentioned statements or behavior will be immediately ejected from the premises without a refund.
