First, thanks MJ for the presale password! This is the first year I’ve gotten it. Bought 3 tickets through the link. 67.50, plus 11.75, plus another 2.00 (fees). Ouch! The tickets were not as close as I was hoping for (although they aren’t bad at all!), but last year’s tickets for the same venue was quite a bit cheaper. (very good seats) Wonder if my not being able to get on early enough was the reason for the slight disappointment in seats? Like someone else, I have also gotten good seats closer to the concert. Still, it is a toss up from my experience. At any rate, always love to go and am excited to see this year’s group with my family. =)

I just ours for Charlotte. I was surprised that floor seats were not available. I did get lower level.

I got mine for August! Yahoo! I wish I would have seen the presale code earlier. Oh well, I still got decent seats. I’m pretty sure NU will sell out fast tomorrow.

I got great seats through the presale….7th row from the stage! My tix only cost $66….maybe it depends on the venue which determines price and what seats they release. I’m super excited.

I went to the show last year at Conseco (Indianapolis) and bought two tickets from a “street vendor” for a TOTAL of 80.00, and the seats were just fine! So, I’ll wait again…

Got really good floor seats this morning. Never been to an AI concert before. Mainly going to see Kris but I’m sure the rest will be good, too. Just interested in seeing them all live. Yeah!

Aw, darnit. I totally forgot till right now to check for tickets. I’m pulling floor F so I think I’ll just try my luck closer to the concert date.

Terrible seats coming up at Staples. I am going to wait for Saturday!

I think we are screwed here in Los Angeles. I wonder how many seats the idols get dibs on. Los Angeles is Adam’s adult hometown, so he’s got lots of people vying for them, plus AI here, etc, so I wonder if they get dibs too. And on top of all of that, we are competing with alot more people for sits.

If there are better seats on Saturday, I will cry. But right now, I’m ok with my first level, 11th row.

Ok, I just pressed the ticketmaster link on MJ’s blog and got my tickets for the Staples Center in Los Angeles. There were no floor seats available, so I got 11th row on the first level. Me and my spunky six year old are going to go.

I got floor tickets to the D.C. show, but now I am having some buyers remorse. I don’t know who I will go with because I am the only one I know that still likes Idol. I may drag my DH, but he may also kill me.

I’ve been to AI tours 5, 6, and 7. Each time, I waited until the last minute to get tickets, and I’ve gotten really good tickets every time. What I’ve done is starting about a month or so before the concert, I check ticketmaster, eBay, craigslist, and other ticket broker sites to get a feel of what’s out there and how much the tickets are going for. About a week before the concert, the venue randomly releases really good tickets. You have to just keep checking. I’ve scooped up some beauties!

I thought AI6 was the best concert, as I am not a big fan of the the mini-set formats of AI5 and AI7. AI6 just had a lot more going on in terms of costumes, staging, dancing. In fact, as much as I enjoyed last year’s concert, I have to admit that the general structure was really boring. Every Idol came out, sang, walked to this side of the stage, walked to that side of the stage, walked up the middle, and then left. Yawnsville. AI5 was largely that same, but at least that concert had a few more duets and such.

I tried, but only shitty seats were available. I may try again Saturday.

Things IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d like to see:

The group number from Disco night with PaulaÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s cheoregraphy.
The girls backing up Anoop.

Yes please!
I got my tickets today for the Atlanta show. I’ve never been to a show before, so I’m probably more excited than I should be.
