The American Idol 2012 tour tickets have been released for fans who want a chance to see their favorite from the Season 11 Top 10 performing up close and personal. The Idol summer tour kicks off on July 6th in Detroit and this crosses the country before ending in early September in Milwaukee.
You’ll be able to see all of the Season 11 Top 10 singers: DeAndre Brackensick, Hollie Cavanagh, Colton Dixon, Heejun Han (he has already promised us dinosaurs and fireworks on the tour), Skylar Laine, Joshua Ledet, Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez, Elise Testone, and Erika Van Pelt.
You can buy tour tickets online
As a bonus this time around there will be a donation made to The Heart Foundation for each ticket sold to the American Idol tour.
Below is a list of the American Idol 2012 Tour events currently scheduled, but be sure to check the latest listings in case more concerts are added.
More venues were added last season after the American Idol tour turned out to be a big success so that’s a possibility for this summer as well. I guess after the Season 9 tour bombed the expectations were greatly scaled back. We’ve even heard the American Idol 2012 singers will earn around $175,000 for the tour which is much, much higher than last season was paid, according to Stefano Langone.
