Unfortunately I don’t have the iPad box, and I can’t see it in iTunes because when I connect it, it says that it’s in activation lock and I can’t do anything in iTunes unless the previous owner puts in his Apple ID and Password, which can’t because I don’t have any contact with him.

Type in the id and password of the account that you were using in Settings > iCloud on the iPad
Edit : as you've edited your post.
To find an id : If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support
To reset an account's password : http://iforgot.apple.com

The IMEI number is on the iPad's box.
It is also available in iTunes on your computer if you backed up your iPad using iTunes.
See "getting the information from your computer" here:

If it is a cellular iPad, the IMEI number is printed on the back, next to the serial number.

As the HT4061 article I attached says under "If you have access to your computer, but not your device", you do not need to connect your device to iTunes to see the IMEI number.

But the OP has stated that they are not the original owner and it is blocked with the Activation Lock, so they cannot acces any of that data, only have the physical pad and no access to its content or past itunes activity.
KSUT,
You will have to work with whomever told you that by supplying the IMEI would allow you to unlock it to actually retrieve that data, but AFIK there is no such method to bypass Activation Lock.
If you purchased the unit you should immediately return it for a refund and if you found it you should turn it into your local law enforcment agency.

Not true. The OP never said "I have no access to past iTunes activity."
In particular, it is very possible the OP backed up her/his iPad using iTunes before updating to iOS 7.

They state
" I can’t do anything in iTunes unless the previous owner puts in his Apple ID and Password, which can’t because I don’t have any contact with him."
And
"I have an iPad stuck in activation lock. I can get it unlocked by providing apple with some information, however in need the IMIE number. It is nowhere on the back, and I can’t seem to find it inside. Can anybody help me find this number?"
