Tickets for the Carole King and James Taylor concert tour will go on sale this Saturday, January 23rd at most Ticketmaster locations, though many tickets are already on sale through secondary ticket sellers. Because it has been so long since they have played together demand for the Trubadour concert tour is expected to exceed the supply of quality seats. The Carole King and James Taylor tour schedule is already out for the 20 cities they will perform in from May through July 2010.

The stage for the reunion concert will be set in the center of the arena floor, in the round as they call it, so more people can get up close to the performers and the sound is evenly distributed through the arena. The stage will usually rotate slowly for a concert in the round, and you may find the lower level elevated seating to give the best view  if you’re not right up front on the floor.

You can find tickets for the Carole King and James Taylor Troubadour concert tour at the usual outlets, or you can buy the best seats available through a reliable ticket broker such as Preferred Seating Tickets, where they have been providing quality concert tickets for over 23 years.
