Fans can look forward to seeing all their favorites (the top 10 American Idol contestants from season 7) again as they tour for one year. Information on how to obtain tickets for the tour will be announced on the Idol website. Everyone usually shows up at the finale as well.
Exciting Shows Lead to the Finale
As the season begins coming to a close, every vote is going to count. This is no time to think one's favorite contestant is safe. Each and every fan needs to get those calls in. There are sites trying to sabotage the vote by asking people to vote for certain "bad" idols (and these sites will get no publicity here), so voting from true fans of the show is extra important at this crucial time.

They also have several links to contests, including a contest to win free tickets to the finale show. A guitar is also being given away.
