Metra Offers Unlimited Ride Train Pass for Lollapalooza

Chicago, IL - Metra has announced it will offer an unlimited ride, four-day train pass to this year’s Lollapalooza music festival, July 28-31.

The $20 pass will be available for purchase July 6 at all ticket windows, including all downtown and outlying stations, and through the Ventra app.

And for those who are unable to get tickets to the sold-out event, Metra today also announced a contest to win two 4-day tickets to Lollapalooza.

To enter the drawing, potential festivalgoers are asked to

1. Submit a photo on Instagram showing a trip they took on Metra or a destination that can be reached riding Metra by using the hashtag #Metrapalooza
2. Follow Metra on Instagram

The winner will be selected by Metra based on the quality of the photo.

Potential festivalgoers should keep an eye out for a new image on Metra’s Twitter feed and official Facebook page for a chance to enter to win a one-day ticket to Lollapalooza for Saturday, July 31.

To enter for the one-day ticket drawing, Twitter users must retweet an image and follow @Metra. On Metra’s Facebook page, followers must like both Metra’s page and the image to be entered into a drawing. Metra will randomly select one winner from Twitter and one from Facebook.

Each winner will receive a single ticket for Lollapalooza’s Saturday, July 31 performances.

“This is the third year we’ve worked with Lollapalooza to promote Metra as the best way to get to and from the festival,” said Metra Executive Director/CEO Don Orseno. “Metra ticket sales continue to increase since we started offering the unlimited ride pass, with nearly 17,000 tickets sold in 2014 and more than 25,000 in 2015. This is a great partnership and we thank C3 for their support and collaboration.”
