Tickets for the upcoming American Idol Live tour, as well as tickets to upcoming concerts from Kings of Leon are on sale throughout the weekend ending May 16 as compiled by TicketNews.
Starting off this weekend’s list of onsales are tickets to this summer’s American Idol Live tour. Showcasing 11 of the season’s top contestants rather than the usual 10, the tour hopes to rebound from disappointing ticket sales for last year’s tour. Tour stops on sale today include shows in Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto, Saint Louis, and Washington DC.
Kings of Leon have additional concert dates for their upcoming tour on sale throughout the weekend. Cities with shows on sale include Tampa, Dallas, and Chicago. Among today’s onsales are tickets to several upcoming concert dates in the joint concert tour between Maroon 5 and Train. Stops include Edmonton, Tampa, and Toronto.
Saturday morning’s onsales offer tickets to three concert dates on Britney Spears’ much anticipated come-back tour. The dates include stops in Toronto, Glendale, and New Orleans. Janet Jackson’s current concert tour has additional dates on sale Saturday as well. Among the cities on sale are Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Seattle.
The recently reunited Seattle grunge band Soundgarden has several upcoming concerts on sale throughout the weekend, including shows in Chicago, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Vancouver. Among the Sunday onsales are 18 upcoming concerts from Rod Stewart at The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. Finally this weekend, tickets are on sale today for upcoming Monster Energy Supercross events in Saint Louis, Atlanta, and Seattle.
“Onsales” is a ticketing industry term describing when tickets initially go on sale to the general public. Each week, tickets are released by promoters, venues and others to dozens of events, but the number of tickets available can vary significantly between locations.
