Sting For Sale

By Tankboy in Arts & Entertainment on May 8, 2009 8:10PM

We had heard Sting was renting some practice space in Chicago and now we know why. Sting is performing at a private fundraising concert with the Chicago Symphony Ochestra on May 19. There are NO tickets available to the public. Well, almost none. The CSO is auctioning off a single pair on eBay ... so if you've ever wanted to see Sting backed by a world class orchestra break out your checkbook and prepare to drain your bank account before the auction closes on May 13. If you win you don't just get the two seats, you also get In addition to two prime seats to the concert, a night at the Four Seasons, dinner at Tru, and a program autographed by one Gordon Sumner. You'll be broke but it's worth it since you're supporting the arts, right?
