monday news & notes...
The tour is getting great reviews, despite the generic aluminum foil set and is stopping next in Albany, NY (July 11) and in Hershey, PA (July 12). Of course most venues sold out of tickets within minutes of opening them up for distribution, so the only way to get tickets at this point is to go through those generous third-party vendors.
So I was curious (and evidentially bored, but that's a different story) so I decided to do some window (monitor?) shopping. The best seat ticket for Elliott's hometown, Richmond, VA on July 29 would set me back $585 per ticket. But if I wanted to go just down the road, so to speak, the night before in Washington, D.C., the best seat would cost me $1,535. If I wanted to wait until July 30 when the kids arrive in Greensboro, N.C., well, I would be waiting awhile, as no tickets are available. Best available in Birmingham, AL, Taylor's stomping grounds, are going for $825, the same price that tickets in Los Angeles, presuming Katharine has recovered by August 26, are selling for. Hmm. The $385 price tag for my own state fair is looking a bit more like a bargain.
Add Chris Daughtry to the 19/Arista stable of musicians, as he now joins Taylor and Katharine as a new labelmate.
American Idol, Season 5 picked up eight Emmy nominations, including best reality show. But we all know The Amazing Race will win. Again.
Poptarts, the official sponsor of the AI Tour is featuring behind-the-scenes videos of the kids as they go from stage to stage. Of course the catch is that you have to actually buy the Poptarts to get the codes that you need to unlock the videos. It helps to have grandkids who will actually eat the Poptarts, but I'm sure neighbor kids would be willing to make the sacrifice. Just be sure to buy the boxes that actually say "Webicodes." The one with American Idol Celebration splashed all over the front of the box contains nothing. Except the Poptarts, of course.
By all accounts Katharine McPhee is still on total voice rest, so her return (debut?) with the tour is still undetermined.

And happy summer!

I was interested to see how much tickets would be in my area and I could get a seat for a total of $80 and it was a pretty good seat, but that is in Rochester, NY not sure what the prices are anywhere else!!!
