American Idol Concert

TicketsNow Entertainment Index for May:

/PRNewswire/ -- TicketsNow.com, a leading online resale marketplace for event tickets, saw "Idol" fans out-purchase all other concert fans as well as fans of baseball's most storied franchises. American Idols LIVE! is the top-selling event on the TicketsNow Entertainment Index for May.

The American Idols Live! Tour 2011, which kicks off July 6 in Salt Lake City, has more than 40 dates on the calendar and is already seeing premium tickets at some venues command more than $2,500.

Baseball fans continued to flock to the ballparks in May as all top five sellers in the Sports category were baseball teams. The New York Yankees , San Francisco Giants , Atlanta Braves , Chicago Cubs , and Boston Red Sox captured the top spots.

Wicked continues to reign as the leader in Theater ticket sales; although the wildly popular, and 2011 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, The Book of Mormon, is steadily closing the gap.
