I live on this tiny rock deep in the Pacific ( Tinian , see www.cnmi-guide.com). I am travelling to Chicago to continue my Stones Extravaganza at the UC. It takes two days of planes, airports and layovers. I am desperate to see Buddy Guy on Jan 22, but I screwed up and hesitated with Ticketmaster. Now even all the brokers I have used in the past are dry! In the last decades Stones Fans have pulled my ass out of the fire many times. I ain't paying what I have for Stones tickets, but cost is only relative! Will the venue release tickets the day of the show? Will scalpers be out on the street in freezing weather?Is there anyone out there that can help me with two tickets for that Sunday Buddy Guy Gig? E-mail me at [email protected] |

Voodoo Pug was once a member of a very esteemed and highly regarded Chicago rock band - The Voodoo Pugs. Even though its been a few days since his band retired, I am certain that he is still very dialed in with Chicago music scene and I am sure that he can hook you up with a ticket. |

Hey kahoosier!
You're speaking to one of Buddy's regulars here...and I can tell you first hand that:
1) Yes, you waited too long to get a ticket
2) Yes, there are scalpers out on the street that may double the cost of a $35 ticket (I'm sure you paid waaaaaay more than that for your UC ticket, lol)
3) The odds of getting in are in your favor only because the night that you plan on attending, is one of the nights that is designated as a "Smoke Free" night...hence, the crowd in there will be made mostly of tourists that have no clue of the true Chicago Blues Scene. (What's a blues bar with no "smoke"???)
4) No offense directly intended for you (being a tourist in our great town)
5) I have tickets for the 14th and the 27th.
6) Sorry friend...I'm not in the market to part with them. However, if for some unforseen reason...you'll be the first to know.
Seriously, I wish you well in trying to score a seat!
(Or, I should say, "a square of tile space"...standing room only...there are no seats!!)
If you're unable to, at least try to get in there one night when Buddy's not playing if you have the time. Here's his club's calendar for the month:

Oh! And while you're at it, just a few short blocks away is Chess Studio.
Get your tail in there!
Walk up the staircase.
...you can thank me later
