Get Your Tickets to American Idol Live 2009 (Ending Soon)

Welcome to another edition of The Cultured Commentator.

Here we eat foie gras and chili cheese fries. We read Pynchon and Brown. We play Go and Guitar Hero. And we watch A&E and American Idol.

Heck, we’ll even watch American Idol live!

That’s right, the American Idol Live Tour 2009 has less than a month left, but chances are tickets are still available for a show in your area, provided your area is the Northeast. So go ahead, give in to guilty temptation, get some use out of that “Adam Lambert 4 Life” tattoo, and get your tickets to American Idol Live.

As always, the tour cast includes the previous season’s top 10 contestants. That means this is your chance to hear the smoky tones of Allison Iraheta, the prog-rock wail of Adam Lambert, the surprising soul of Anoop Desai, the humble adequacy of Danny Gokey, the bring-more-originality-ness of Lil Rounds, the arm-flapping birdsong of Megan Joy and all the others.

Then of course there’s Scott MacIntyre, who I can only hope delivers another of his trademark dance numbers. (High Five! … Up top! … Don’t leave me hangin’!…)

Between now and the final show on September 15, American Idol Live will be hitting the North and Northeast pretty hard. They’ve got stops in Milwaukee, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Grand Rapids, Bridgeport, Providence, Manchester and others.

You can view the schedule, read fan reviews and get your tickets here.

I thought I’d dip into our past hotel recommendations and pair them with some upcoming shows, just to beef up the post.

On September 1, the show comes to the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the Twin Cities, we like the Crowne Plaza St. Paul. It’s an affordable, comfortable, well-rounded kind of stay.

On September 10, the show comes to the Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Nearby we’re big fans of the Holiday Inn Express Shelton, CT Hotel. If you time it right, the hotel offers a free shuttle to the Arena, and the rooms are always clean and inviting in our experience.

Have fun!
