Tickets for this summer’s “American Idols Live! Tour” is now available. According to American Idol series creator Simon Fuller and concert promotion company AEG Live, the Idol tour will feature the TV show’s Top 10 contestants.

It will begin on the 1st of July at Glendale, Arizona and end in September in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It has a total of 50 stops with a concert in Toronto included. This is the only Canadian stop of the tour. Sorry, Vancouverites and Albertans. There's actually a show in Seattle so Vancouverites can go there. It's only around 2 hours drive anyway.
