Hey all,

I love taylor hicks and his soul !!!  He is a very special man and I
want to get front row seats to american idol in Washington DC when
they are there?

Where can I get them now?

Hello jetes-ga!

I am such a HUGE American Idol fan that your question definitely
caught my eye! Of course there is no way to guarantee anything when it
comes to concert tickets, but I did gather some information that
should be helpful to you. Just a warning: getting them ?now? will be
VERY expensive.


The dates for the 2006 American Idol Tour have been announced and are
available on the official American Idol website. They will be
performing in Washington, D.C. at the Verizon Center on Friday, July
28, 2006. Tickets will go on sale on Saturday, May 20, 2006 at 10:00
am. The rest of the tour dates are listed here:

For information on contacting the Verizon Center Box Office directly see here:

Event tickets for the Verizon Center can be purchased online through
Ticketmaster. Since they are not yet available for the American Idol
Tour, that event information is not on their site. But, you can keep
an eye on their site for updated information.

You can preorder tickets online through Tickco, but you will pay
substantially more than the original face value of the ticket. This is
stated very clearly on their site. If you want to check out what they
have available for the July concerts, see:
http://www.tickco.com/xml/Tickets.asp?pid=380851

To figure out where those seats are, check out a seating chart for the
Verizon Center here:

Here is another site with preordering available. They, too, sell
tickets for higher than the listed price. The prices seem comparable
to Tickco?s.

So, a guarantee now will cost a pretty penny, but here are some sites
to ease the pain and give you your ?Hicks fix.?

Here is what is billed as ?The Official Soul Patrol Headquarters.?

This is a great reality tv blog site, with plenty of mp3s and video
clips of Taylor and the rest of the American Idol 5 contestants. This
is one of my favorite American Idol-related sites. I can listen to the
mp3s over and over. It?s great! They have video, too.

Here is the Taylor Hicks fan site, ?home? of the Soul Patrol:

Hopefully you find the information that you need on these sites. Good
luck with finding the best seats. Enjoy the rest of season 5! Soul
Patrol! Whoo!

Sincerely,
Boquinha-ga

One more thing--for the record, I am SO pleased with the Top 4 that I
feel good about any of them winning it, confident that all 4 are sure
to get major record deals and do well. This is the best top 4 ever!
I'm so impressed by the talent. I personally really, really like
Elliott Yamin, but I also really like Taylor, Chris, and Katharine,
too.

And you'll be happy to know that Simon thinks that Chris and Taylor
are the possible winners and will be battling it out at the finale!
Wow, what a finale, eh?
