Default Battery & FOB dead, no master key, what next?

So I have a dead battery, we tried to jump it but it just would not start...

Came back the next day, grabbed some things out of the car and left as I was going to a party.

Came back the following day and now the battery is so dead it will not open with my fob. I do not have the master key (C6 2007) and so I have no idea how we are going to put the new battery in!

Does anyone have any ideas, please do not say a locksmith

There's no key in the end of your key fob? There should be a little button you push and a key slides out...

No key inside the FOB unfortunately and I do not have the master...

The only thing I can think off is jacking the car, attaching leads to the terminal underneath and getting enough juice to open the car, then popping the bonnet and replacing the battery.

Take your vin # to chevy dealership with proof of ownership. They will cut you a key.

jack car, clip on a battery charger or booster pack at the starter and open the car up

Exactly what we ended up doing, took quite some time to figure out but I am just happy to have it parked outside the house now

Cheers for all the input, seriously thought I was going to have to send off for a new master key (I am in the Middle East and this may have posed a problem)...
