I am so excited!!! I can't wait!!!

I have never been to an AI Live Tour can anyone tell me what goes on there?

I've never been to one either but I'll be going to the glendale one for sure.

I wanna go to the one in cincinnati!!! Only if i can get close and personal!

oh awesome! i am so excited! i am buying mine for re sale tomorrow!!

Im going to the Glendale one!!!
XD

Glendale here too! Opening night, yes!

Everyone going to the Glendale show...we should all meet up if at all possible! I feel like everyone here have become friends!

Everyone going to the Glendale show send me a message and let me know a little about you since we will all be there together!

I've been to 2 of the AI Tours..Season 4 and 6...Would go to this one too, but all the good seats are gone..I'm still hoping I can luck out and purchase 2..I want..I mean NEED to see DC Live!!!!!!!!!!

I envy you peeps. Guess have to w8 til DC comes to our country or travel all the way to the US to see him. Wish he can start his international tour right after the US tour...

amen to that! if he hadnt won, i might not want to go as badly, but dude, seriously, it'd be so sweet to go. i love DC. i only liove three hours from glendale, if only i could get good seats. if i did go, this would be my second concert that was an starting tour date! (the first was keith urban last year in pheonix for the love pain and the whole crazy world tour US leg)

Me too. I didn't really care much about the show until he won. I mean the only other season I wanted to see live was season 2, and then they didn't even come to Phoenix. I was so mad. So I just might have to go this year, if I can find decent seats.

I'm not going to this one, I'm going on August 10 in Manchester, but July 1st is my birthday!
I so wish that they were going to be near me on this day!
All you lucky Word Nerds going on this day...have fun!!

I nabbed center row 7 for Glendale and this will be my first AI concert experience and I couldn't imagine a better headlining artist than DC. I'm a couple hours away up in Sedona so I'm going to book a night or two in some spa on June 31 - July 2 and really treat myself to a mind, body, and soul experience getaway. Counting the daze...

~~DC Makes Me Press My Button Word Nerd #1419

Thinking of adding another stop to what I'm calling my American Idol summer tour. lol. I can 'swing by' Glendale on my business trip in time for the concert.

Question: Anyone familiar with the area know how far the Comfort Suites is from the arena? Or what is the closest hotel (maybe within walking distance to arena)? Really don't want to rent a car, but would be willing to do a car service. Any help would be much appreciated.

hey! i live in scottsdale, az and was at the season 6 concert last year. it was excellent! i just won tickets on 104.7 for the glendale concert. i was wondering if anyone knows about the meet and greet at jobing.com.?. i really want to meet David
thanks

Im going to the Glendale Concert.
XDD

LOL! I made A board for Glendale yesterday and nobody came to it!
):
I'm DEFINITELY going! (:
And the arena is right by my house!
My seats aren't great, but they're pretty close to the stage.
I'm going very early in hopes of meeting some of them.
(:





I was also wonderig about the meet and greet.
If anyone has any info, I'd love a message or something.
I'm so excited for this. I've never been to one, but I really wanted to go to this one, so we got tickets.




Go to ticketmaster.com and get them there.
That's where I got mine.
I plan to wait for the buses!

All of you that are attending in Glendale have to give us the details the next day. I am anxious to hear what all foes on, so I can anticipate when they come to Chicago.

I'm excited to see how the show progresses, how it comes together or falls apart in any way -- from Opening Night to Closing Night.

Opening Night could be great, fresh off so many rehearsals, or it could show the signs of needing some time to gel. And I can't wait to see if they give DC any flexibility in his home markets (more time, additional show, alternate songs).

I'm going for the tickets on Movin' 97.5. I actually joined their VIP thing online just to enter the contest to get tickets... is that sad, I think it is. If I get tickets {*points to self* Broke college student who cant afford a spare hundred dollars}, I would love to meet up with all of you!

And anyone going, I expect a play-by-play, so be ready to take some notes!

I'm flying in just for this show . . . . and I'm taking my personal laptop with me just so that I can hit the hotel right after the show and 'download' it for you guys.

(Ugh. The thought of a trip carrying two laptops hurts my back already, but it'll be worth it! We *have* to have deets of Opening Night for the D-C-.org-ers.)

I'll assume you mean upload

I'm contemplating going one hundred dollars more into debt. Normally I could think of plenty of reasons to convince myself not to go to something {I've done so for several of my favorite shows, and was even able to convince myself not to go to NYC}, but I just can't talk myself out of it. The only thing holding me back from dropping the cash is looking at my school bills, car bills, gas prices, parking for next year at ASU, oh, and that price tag of the bed I just purchased...

Basically what I'm saying is I'm probably going to end up going to the show whether from a fated stroke of luck that has always eluded my grasp or my own stupidity when it comes to financing things...

No, I actually meant download (from my memory and my senses) so that all of the D-C.org-ers might be able to hear/feel/experience what it was like . . . .

July 1st...Opening night in Glendale, AZ

Driving up from Tucson...I love American Idol, but I have never gone before, but I need to see DC live...

Waiting for his album is pure torture...

My seats suck, but I will bring binoculars...Just to hear his voice live will be worth it...[/color]

Got it. I thought you meant pictures and videos. I look forward to reading the concert report then!

If anybody needs a ticket let me know, because I have an extra, now that I found better seats. It's in the upper level but right next to the stage.

Hey there fellow Glendale concert goers I was wondering if those of you who have tix in the front floor BBB section knew this. I just found out that the way the stage is set up at the jobing.com arena for this show, the center front row is actually Row 8. Am I the only one who was clued to this fact?

Lol. I don't know. My seats are upper lever close to the stage.
But as a regular concert goer, I've been tot he arena many times. My ex used to work there (and if he still did I would have backstage passes. Damn him.)
But the floor seats, although they are pretty good, aren't so great unless you are in the first ten or so rows.
The floor is flat and the further back you are, the harder it will be to see, especially if you're short (like me).
If you're on the floor and in the back, upper level seating would be better.
I saw Jack's Mannequin there 2 years ago, and from the back lower level I could see pretty well, but when I was on the floor I couldn't see anything. My ex (who is taller than I am) could barely see himself.

Oh darn that you couldn't still get backstage passes As for my floor seats when I bought them I was told they were row 7's. There was some confusion, apparently, and what I actually have are row 4's which when I go to find the seats the row will actually read 11. The seller wasn't aware of the setup and so I received substitutes at same cost so I'm actually closer than I thought I'd be. Which of course is good news, but I was seriously wondering who else might be out there that was aware of this rather odd seating arrangement.

Yeah the seating is soooooo strange!

For those who have been to the jobing.com arena before I was wondering if you could tell me if section 103 row w are good seats? they are on the lower level

i was just curious if my seats are good or not...thanks!

Those should be pretty good seats. I had sec. 103 row T for Bon Jovi a couple of years ago, and the only problem I had was the tall lady in front of me. So as long as you're not short, or don't have some extremely tall person in front of you, you should be okay.

Ok good, thank you so much for letting me know! I am not soo worried about them anymore! Three weeks from tomorrow!! I am so excited!!

haha I'm in J on the upper leve. Never been up there before. I can't remember it that well.
Does anyone know what hotel the Idols are staying at or if they are at all? I know there's a million hotels in that area and my neighbor owns one. So if they're staying in HER hotel I think I have a chance of meeting them.

Hey I'm a Tucson Cookiefan too!

Hey, guys.
I've been contacting everybody I know on how to possibly meet our favorite performers for this show!
If anyone has ANY info on how to meet them, post here right away!
Or at least fantasize with me on how to make our DC-filled dreams come true!

Sound like fun! There is 3 of us flying in from El Paso, TX just to see the Cookie.

Oh wow how exciting!! I can't believe it is only a few weeks away!!
Where are you staying while you are in the area?

Well I'm in section 101U - first level left stage side, pretty high up - BUT I should have a nice direct view of the stage

Oh awesome! I am in section row w...so I am in the general vicinity...so it should be a great show none the less!!

I just realized that you're not that far from me. I have sec. 103 row J.

You're pretty close to me too!

oh awesome! we should try and find each other at the concert, or meet up before!

hey everyone! im going to glendale also.
i have a pair of floor seats that i bought after entering the AEG contest
& apparently i won better seats & MEET & GREET! ive heard they are really rushed and pix are hard to get
but im still EXTREMELY excited :]
david cook here i come.

oh how awesome and exciting for you!! where are those seats at that you have??
do you have to win access for the meet and greet? i am just curious

yea. :/ they came with the tickets. i couldnt believe i won. bc i heard about it on the radio that the winners were announced and they said to check the website and i did. but it only says 1st names and where you live. and my names is amanda [hello!] most popular name ever. in the fastest growing city in the nation [gilbert] lol so its like.. ok.. theres a good chance its me but IDK. and i guess your supposed to receive an email.. and i didnt... yet.
2 hours later i check the mailbox & there it was. AMAZING :]

im kinda getting discouraged though after all this M&G business talk saying its rushed and you dont get to say one word to them and yea. im hoping to deliver gifts from the word nerds at th AI forums... we'll see how it works out. then i have to sell the tickets i bought!!! eek. o well who DOESNT wanna see david cook. really?!

Haha. I'll buy those meet & greet tickets off you!
I'm so jealous!
I'm trying so hard to do what I can to find a way to meet them!
Help me plan this out???
I'm DYING to meet him (it's my life's dream. DC got me back into song writing!)
GAH!!!
You just made me excited and giddy all over again!

I'm still waiting to see who gets drawn from the online entries at the radio station I tried for. I suppose I need to break down and either buy the tickets or convince myself it's okay that I'm not going...

yea. i was totally surprised. i had forgotten i had entered!
happy birthday to me :]
well im gonna have those floor seats sec CCC row 28 that i am gonna put on ebay for 250 since thats what i paid. so you guys are welcome to bid. im gonna do that within the next week.
im super excited again. ugh. i wanna hug from those manly arms [melts] haha!
