The question is basically the title. I tried Ctr+Alt+F7 but nothing happens. I use all six of my currently available virtual terminals and need more. How can I add more TTYs?

    Have you considered terminal multiplexer like tmux (link)? Few years ago I would ask your question myself. Now I feel naked without tmux.

Ubuntu 16.04 per default uses systemd. So you could could e.g. set

NAutoVTs=10
ReserveVT=10

in /etc/systemd/logind.conf to increase the number of ttys to 10.

However, as Kamil suggested, you might want to use a tool like tmuxor screen to multiplex terminals.
