Can someone please tell me what the "invitation to the sound check with Celine" is? do you get to meet her or something with that?

[Shamrock_1982]

ive been to soundcheck package with justin timberlake in london @ the o2 this year, so i'll try and explain what its like.....

u get a few free drinks in a vip lounge like 4/5 hrs before showtime.... one of his assistants gave us about a 20 min talk about the tour, justin, what to expect in the future from the artist, and some inside stuff on the him, the tour itself and what the soundcheck package includes....

we were told, we would be split into groups of four with different people from the production team, and leave 10 mins apart from each other....
we would go backstage, see behind the scenes of the arena/tour, see how things are done ''lighting/visuals/sound etc'' you get to see the dancers dressingrooms, the canteen were the artist and crew eat,  the green room, the artists dressingroom, you get to walk under or on the stage depending on how its designed
before soundcheck.......
and get to sit front row to watch soundcheck for 10 mins....you can take photos ''without flashes'' no recording and trust me about 13 guys ''security'' are over you're shoulder the whole time to make sure u dont film on u cameras or mobiles... and you cant call the artists name or distract them during this...
...then its back outside to the vip lounde for dinner and drinks.....and wait for the main show to arrive, in all it took 40 mins.

hope it helps

Thanks! that sounds fun. umm, just one more question if you don't mind... well for anyone but will those "hot seats" be on sale to the general public also, not just Team Celine? and how long does Team Celine stay on sale for?

[LuisMa]

I don't know what to do. There are some concerts for which you are allowed to attend the Sound Check, but who knows whether you get to speak to her at least for a couple of seconds, and besides, they are quite expensive and you have to buy two!   Then, I was thinking, if I buy the tickets today and then something changes in the future and they make some meet&greets available, I will then become extremely mad I'm pretty confused as to what to do.

[KimboCosmo]

Ok, does anyone know where I can go to get an English list of the complete world tour dates and place of performances??  Also, are all the tickets available to buy now or do they release them one block at a time?   If the US tickets are available to buy I need to get those...where do you go to buy them?  Anyone??

Are you a member of TeamCeline?  If you are, you can login to TeamCeline and find the full tour itinerary there.  Right now they are only selling US dates as a TeamCeline presale.

You know I just realized that on the day of General Sale I`m going to be on a plane to florida and I don`t know how I`ll get to a computer quick enough! I don`t know how I`m going to get decent seats to MSG and others now

Thank you! So it means there's no meeting?
It sounds like the tapi rouge for cirque du soleil .. a little bit.

[ashleylovesceline]

Ok, I've searched through this topic --- does anyone know how you figure out what time the tickets go on sale "locally"? When I bought tickets for Vegas, it was 10am Vegas time... and 1pm my time.  

And am I right in assuming that you can only get the good TC seats when you purchase a package?

Log in to the TC concerts page

Click on Tickets  -  next to your venue
You will get a small pop-up screen with the password and a link to the Celine Dion Page on Ticket Master where you can search for your venue  

[djs31982]

38 minutes until I can purchase my tickets  

I hope nothing goes wrong...so here is a question

Those of you that have purchased the regular TC tickets, whats the closest you guys have got?

[lyn]

whee!! -jumps around-

[SarahJB5]

I think I have just over an hour, because I'm getting Chicago, but my friend is getting Detroit....so let's cross fingers for GREAT seats!!! I'm getting nervous!!!

[djs31982]

I clicked as soon as they came available...the closest I got was row 9

still not too bad I suppose  

[tativale]

This sucks, my friend was online as soon as it was opened and he only could get row 11 for the Miami show! Bleh!

[Celinenvegas]

I think many of the shows have the front rows blocked.  I just got tickets for the Newark NJ show
and the only thing coming up was Row 12 & 13.  I got Row 12 which is good because if the stage is high
like the LTAL tour you won't be able to see much in the very front.  I just wish we could get seats
for more than 1 show.

[Celine's Rose]

I just got 5th row for Detriot.  When I tried searching for tickets, it kept giving me errors.     But then after about 5 times of relogging in to TM it finally worked and gave me 5th row.

[piglot82]

I first tried the Gold Hot Seat Package and came up with row 9 but it was $450.00 per ticket! So I gave those up and by the time I got through all the TicketMonster crap I ended up with row 12 (Miami show).

The 2 tickets per household thing really sucks!  I wanted to get Ft Lauderdale now too!

[LVCeline]

What is up with the Portland date!  It said the tickets went on sale yesterday but I haven't been able to access them at all all day yesterday or today!  Is there a hotline or something we can get help from?  This is driving me crazy!

[Dionesque]

I'm 100% sure that some shows got front rows blocked, at least some in Europe as I don't know about those outside Europe.

And the front rows are blocked not only for TeamCeline but also for general public!... For example that was the case for shows in Berlin and Cologne, Germany!

That really sucks.....

That's not right. As TeamCéline members we're supposed to get the best seats - closest to Céline, because she would want her biggest fans to be closest. It's like Vegas all over again - we had to fight to get those first two rows.

I got 7th row - I also got errors during the first five minutes - but after I kept refreshing, it finally came up. First it offered me 7th row on one side... then I tried again and was offered 7th row on the other side. Both in the center. I'm assuming that's where TC seating started - unless you buy an outrageous hot seat package. Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited to be going - and very thankful I have the opportunity - I just wish they would give the first rows to TC members.  

[ssbutterfly]

I got row 7 for Detroit!  Yay!!
