When to Line Up for Auditions: It is anticipated that auditions will start no later than 8:00 a.m. on the audition day in each city. Even if you are in line before 8:00 a.m., producer cannot guarantee that you will be seen for an audition. Some venues may prevent people from lining up before 5:00 a.m., so you must continue to check our website at www.americanidol.com DAILY for the most up-to-date audition schedule and information. ALL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE AUDITIONS IS TENTATIVE AT THIS TIME. Audition cities, dates and/or times may change. If the past seven seasons are any indication, we are expecting a huge turnout in each city. You should therefore plan on arriving as early as allowed at your audition venue. Keep in mind that there is no guarantee that you will be seen for an audition regardless of whether or not you have a wristband and/or seat ticket. THERE WILL BE NO OVERNIGHT CAMPING INSIDE OR OUTSIDE ANY OF THE VENUES.

• Wristband and Seat Ticket: You must NOT remove the wristband issued to you on registration day. You must bring the wristband and seat ticket with you to the audition.

It may also be possible to register EARLY on the morning of the audition day; however, if you wait until the audition day to register, you will be one of the last people to register and we may run out of space and/or time to accommodate you. You should therefore register as early as possible on one of the two designated registration days for your city. THERE WILL BE NO OVERNIGHT CAMPING ALLOWED INSIDE OR OUTSIDE ANY OF THE VENUES.

YOUR APPOINTED GUARDIAN MUST BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE AND MUST ACCOMPANY YOU TO THE VENUE FOR THE REGISTRATION AND AUDITION DAYS. In order to appoint a guardian, your parent or legal guardian must complete, sign and have NOTARIZED the attached Guardian and Medical Authorization for Minors form.

Your appointed guardian must also bring a government-issued photo ID (for example, a driver¡¦s license or passport) to registration and the audition.

Wristband Rules: It is currently anticipated that wristbands, or some other form of identification, will be handed out to those people chosen by the producer to continue in the audition process. In order to be admitted to the venue on audition day, you MUST receive a wristband and seat ticket from the producer. IF YOU RECEIVE A WRISTBAND FROM THE PRODUCERS DURING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS, YOU MUST NOT REMOVE THE WRISTBAND PRIOR TO YOUR AUDITION.

The show’s producer, Nigel Lythgoe, told Utah Fox affiliate KSTU Channel 13 that he was impressed with the level of talent in Utah. His other Fox reality show, “So You Think You Can Dance,” stopped in Salt Lake City last winter for this upcoming season, and it’s rumored that a number of Utahns were picked for the next round of auditions in Las Vegas. “He said they had so many great singers and dancers there that they will be stopping there [for "Idol"],” a Fox spokeswoman said Tuesday.
