GA+ Entrance
Bypass the crowds at the main gates and enter Lollapalooza through the VIP/GA+ entrance. Look for the entryway called VIP/GA+ Entrance at the corner of Van Buren and S. Michigan Ave. Go through this entryway and follow the signs to the VIP/GA+ gate, where you will have your ticket scanned and bag checked. From there, it’s a quick walk over to the GA+ Lounges.
