All right this extended discount ticket selling sounds to us like a real plea of distress! How many times can the promoters offer $20 tickets to the American Idol Live Tour 2010 concert?
Despite the low priced ticket, despite seeing 10 people in one concert- it appears they still can’t convince people to shell out cash while single artists such as Daughtry and Adam Lambert’s tour are selling like hot pancakes at $50 a piece (lowest price)!
Not even the poor ticket turnout of Season 3 and Season 6 tours did they give away tickets for $20.00!! If that’s not desperation, we don’t know what is.
What we know is we got suckered in to watch this show just to see Didi Benami perform “Terrified” live and one other song! If what we heard on TV is an indication of how these idols will perform, we will bring earplugs to protect ourselves from some most of the idols who will likely suck live- just in case…
They are coming to Boston, Ma and will perform at the Comcast Center in Mansfield on July 18th. Will they fill the 19,900 capacity venue? We’ll see!
If you think were making this ‘desperate for audience’ up, read below.

‘Idol’ Tour Moving to Smaller Venues
You know there is trouble in ‘Idol’-land when host Ryan Seacrest is having to resort to Twitter to try selling unwanted tickets to the upcoming Idol tour.
Ryan tweeted, “If u were thinking about getting tix to the @americanidol live tour, do it now – ALL TIX are $20 for the next 24 hrs!” Yikes. Sources tell me ticket sales are so poor in certain locations that there is talk about moving the concerts from huge arenas to smaller theaters that hold less than 2,000 people.
Thank goodness Ryan has more than 3,201,054 Twitter followers, because if he can’t sell the tickets, I’m pretty sure this season’s winners can’t.
Go get those $20.00 tickets at Live Nation. (After taxes, prepare to pay around $28-30!) Available for sale until June 17th. (They would probably extend this…)
