when we were recently talking about favorite venues, i was thinking about how (obviously) size has a lot to do with how enjoyable the venue is. I got curious and decided to look up the capacity of [most] of the chicago venues. i was pretty surprised by how big and small some are.

She offered somebody else $250, so I'm going to see if she'll give me that for it. Think Subt will have a problem with both of us showing up but the ticket in my name going to somebody else?

 

Holy Fuck Edit: Found a dude on Craigslist that is giving me $425 for my ticket. Gonna pick up a fake bill highlighter pen before heading up there.

not sure these are gonna be transferable. subt are the worst for stuff like that. if it was a +1, you'd be able to get someone in with you, but i'm not sure how you'll be able to pull that off. your best bet might be to call ahead and have it switched to their name.

The guy said he's done this at Subt Will Call before (and a Brand New show to boot), so I'm hoping for the best. Figure we walk up together, but I tell them to put the wristband on him. Perfect scenario would've been as a +1, though.
