Tickets for the American Idol Top Ten Summer Tour, which includes Jasper's Michael Sarver, go on sale May 9. But Southeast Texans will have to drive to Dallas for the concert.
Houston isn't on the list of 50 cities the tour will hit, according to the American Idol Web site. There also are no dates booked in Louisiana.
At a welcome home event in Jasper April 8, Sarver told fans he expected the tour to have a Houston date and that he hoped to hear his Jasper fans there. The tour begins July 5 in Portland, Ore., and the group will be in Dallas July 23.
Are you as upset as we are? Leave a comment below and we'll forward them to Idol producers.

I am very disappointed that Idol is not including Houston on the tour. Especially since Michael has a huge southeast texas fan base that included a lot of folks in Houston. Houston is one of the largest cities in the U.S. so why isn't it on the tour?
ReplyDeleteReally bummed. Not much we can do about it now. But, the truth be told. I could care less about seeing anyone but Michael in concert anyway, so I can wait for his solo tour next year. We will drive to Dallas for him though.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the tour is not coming to Houston...we all were looking so forward to it...had a huge group already to go...I guess AI doesn't want our support....Why are they going to BC....it's American Idol....All Michael's fans here in the south are EXTREMELY dissappointed.
ReplyDeleteI can not believe the tour is not coming to Houston, we support Michael and there should be a date for us to see our idol. Anyway we will go anywhere to see our Michael
ReplyDeleteIt could be they could not get the dates matched up enough to rent a facility. Also, only one visit per state??
ReplyDeletewe need Houston in the tour - Toyota center is avail for seveal dates in July and August - Why don't they book it??? too expensive??
ReplyDeleteWe need to let Idol know we will attend ...
California has four cities that are having the Tour! You might want to take a California one out and put one in Houston or Lake Charles! I am really disappointed
ReplyDeleteCompletely, totally pissed that they are skipping Houston. They're out of their friggin' minds. I feel like Michael's fans got totally screwed because of this.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that they are skipping Houston.!!! I was looking forward to seeing Adam really. I guess I will have to drive to Dallas. He's worth it.
ReplyDeleteHouston is the FOURTH largest city in America and they are going to the other three...and they are even going to two Canadian cities...what is up with that? It's annoying to really like the season and in essence being told I can't go. The Dallas show is on a Thursday....I can't just drive up to Dallas and drive back. Lame. Not to mention how many people in Texas (San Antonino, Austin and Houston) who don't like going to Dallas to begin with.
ReplyDeleteIVE TAKEN MY CHILDREN THE LAST 3 YEARS TO THE HOUSTON CONCERT. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO GO TO DALLAS, WITH THE COST OF THE FLOOR SEATS (WHICH I ALWAYS PURCHASE- MY DAUGHTER IS ONLY 6 YEARS, AND WOULD NOT ENJOY BEING UNABLE TO SEE THEIR FACES) FOR A FAMILY OF 4, THE COST IS OUTRAGEOUS WHEN ADDING GASOLINE AND HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS- CRAZY.WE ARE EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT HOUSTON IS NO LONGER ON THE SCHEDULE. MY LITTLE GIRL IS HEART BROKEN - SHE ADORES ADAM LAMBERT!
ReplyDeleteThis site is pretty well hidden, I'm sure many, many fans would have commented on the fact that Houston has been skipped this year!!
