American Idol returns for its much-anticipated ninth season in January 2010.  This new season promises to deliver incredible undiscovered talent with plenty of surprises along the way.  Emmy Award-winning talk show host Ellen DeGeneres will join American Idol as the new fourth judge sitting alongside Simon, Randy, and Kara.  In March, witness the jam packed celebrity and musical finale as the finalists complete for a major recording contract and the American Idol title. Your package includes two nights at the downtown Los Angeles Omni Hotel and two tickets to attend the finale, tentatively scheduled for May 19th, 2010 at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. These tickets are not available for sale to the general public so this may be the only way to be a part of this fabulous event!
