'Idol' ticket takers

What's the good word? Tickets.

On sale. Soon.

Because even though we don't have a local rep among "American Idol's" Top 10 (Mandisa was our gal last year), their summer tour will indeed be stopping in Sactown on Wednesday, July 25, at Arco Arena.

That means area fans can get up close and personal, well, relatively, with (in no particular order): Chris Sligh, Gina Glocksen, Haley Scarnato, Sanjaya Malakar, Chris Richardson, Lakisha Jones, Phil Stacey, Jordin Sparks, Melinda Doolittle and Blake Lewis.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. May 19; they'll set you back $39.50, $52.50 and $72.50, and be sold at the arena box office and via Ticketmaster. You can also charge by phone at (916) 649-8497.

I attended the sold-out Season 5 event. I got a dorky button, an expensive hot dog and an up-close and personal look at Ace Young. I even had a picture taken with last year's winner, Taylor Hicks.

Priceless.
