A "Consolation Guest" is someone who is invited to an event, party, concert, etc, but only after the "First Choice Guest" is a no show and, at the last minute, your buddy needs someone to go with them. Basically, you are a second choice...or third...chopped liver...filler...
You will get the "Consolation Guest" offer, most often, the day of the event.
In a backward sort of way, being asked as a Consulation Guest, is a complement. You are asked because you are not a flake, are spontaneous, have decent manners, and versatile wardrobe. Oh, and a reliable car and gas money, because, as Consulation Guest, they expect you to drive..."after all, they invited you!".

Friend: "Hey Becky, wanna go the the (insert name of event here) with me? Jason was going, but he flaked out on me. Oh, and it's tonight."
You: "Dude, I am insultated you're asking me as the Consolation Guest, but I always wanted to see (insert name of superstar here). Sure, I'll go. I suppose I'm driving?"
