American Idol Tickets

American Idol tickets for the tours of the winning contestants are typically made available through Ticketmaster. Tickets for the actual show when the season is on going are not easy to come by, especially if you do not know someone that works for the show or will appear on it. Audience hopefuls must apply online through the official American Idol website for a chance to watch the show live, and waiting time for most applications is one year. The best way to secure American Idol tickets is to know someone that is connected to the show in some way. This includes producers, network employees, crew members, or someone that will be appearing on the show as a contestant.

If you want to obtain tickets to an American Idol taping, expect to wait at least a year. This is the estimated time it takes for the show to review your request form for tickets. Request forms can be found on the official American Idol website, or on the On Camera Audience website, which books the audience members for the show each week. You must be at least 14 years old to apply for tickets. If you are contacted to attend a taping, you will not be able to choose the tape date, and will likely be contacted only a few days before the show tapes. http://www.ocatv.com/shows/show/9
