There are even passwords being sold on ebay.  

[Dionesque]

Yeah, I saw that auctions too... you pay 20 bucks and the password is yours!!...

I'm really soooo pissed off with this presale, I had to buy my good Amsterdam seat from scalpers and now I will be sleeping bad having nightmares about undelivered ticket.. argh!!...

And it sounds that in the UK/Ireland(US/Canada it's all even worser!!!

So the US TeamCeline tickets are not Will Call tickets??!!
In Europe all the tickets which are awailable since end of October and since November - they are all Will Call as far as I'm concerned so maybe that's one reason why in Europe the things are not THAT bad like over there in North America!!.... Gosh!!...

What can we doooo???

I already have all tickets I wanted to buy but sill I'm willing to help you in this fight!!!!

[caroline_reynolds]

Montreal = 80 000 tickets sold in 20 minutes. Its totally crazy!  

[Dionesque]

That's an absurd!!...

I'm sure part of them went to the scalpers and hopefully (for fans!) that they weren't all tickets and that there are some more tickets available which are blocked for the time being but will be released later!!

And if you all remember, TC said that the 2 ticket limit policy was to avoid scalpers.  A lot of good that did!

Yeah, this made it so much easier...before you had to wait the 7 days to buy tickets, now you have instant access to tickets, it's sooooooo easy. I bought additional TC tickets for the Cleveland concert because I am afraid I won't be able to get any good seats come Monday. All I had to do was pay the extra $40 and I got 2 more TC seats! I'm sure the scalpers have done that plenty of times. Then they didn't even inform us of the 2 new dates for Montreal, so to me that is false information or with holding information from us. What I'm thinking of is sending a letter to CDA. I don't know what they can do about it now, but they need to be aware of this. They should make it madatory for all people to have will call or something so that you have to go to the venue on the day of the event pick up tickets....I don't know something NEEDS to happen, the fans are getting taken advantage of big time!     

It’s so sad it had to come to that just to get a decent seat. Has anyone else resorted to that?

The excuse that limiting the tickets for TC members would help keep the tickets out of scalpers hands is officially a bunch of BS. We (TC members) are the only ones not able to get tickets, while somehow they still manage to. We need to take action, and demand we get the respect we deserve - because without us there wouldn’t be a tour to begin with. We are what makes this all work. We must be heard. A letter, a petition, a lawsuit, something… this has gone too far.

Le spectacle de tournée, lui, sera pour sa part grandiose, promet l'impresario.

«Ça va être un spectacle d'environ deux heures. Ce sera sur une scène centrale, carrée, avec deux tapis roulants et des élévateurs. Il y aura aussi quatre grands écrans géants et un autre qui tourne tout autour de la scène», promet M. Angélil.

En préparation à Los Angeles depuis trois mois, le spectacle signé par Jamie King (Confessions World Tour de Madonna et Back to Basics de Christina Aguilera), mettra aussi en vedette huit danseurs et dix musiciens.

The spectacle of round, will be to him for its part imposing, promises the business manager.

"That will be a spectacle of approximately two hours. It will be on a scene central, square, with two travelling carpets and of the elevators. There will be also four large giant screens and another which turns all around the scene ", Mr. Angélil promises.

In preparation in Los Angeles since three months, the spectacle signed by Jamie King (Confessions World Turn of Madonna and Back to Basics de Christina Aguilera), will also put in the high-speed motorboat eight dancers and ten musicians.

Voici l'extrait d'une entrevue de René Angélil pour  "Le Soleil" :

[...] Dans un horizon pas si lointain, la star se voit chez elle, à élever son fils, et peut-être même un deuxième enfant. Mais au-delà de la tournée mondiale qui s’amorcera le 14 février à Johannesbourg (Afrique du Sud), avec un concert-bénéfice au profit de la Fondation Nelson Mandela, les pages de l’agenda demeurent blanches. Est-ce à dire que la tournée Taking Chances sera sa dernière? René Angélil répond par l’affirmative. «Disons que si on avait à parier, s’il y avait des odds qui devaient être donnés, je dirais qu’il y a 60 % de chances que ce soit sa dernière tournée», a-t-il soutenu.

[Dionesque]

Well, of course I will respect if she won't ever tour again.

BUT this talk about 60% chances that it's the last tour etc. - I think it's kinda promotional talk - to increase sales as more people may be interested if there shouldn't be any more chance to see Céline live on tour after that.

That's just my small opinion.

[CSCfan]

Well it really depends on if she will be having another baby or not. She will: then this is the last (big) tour. She won't: then I'm sure she will do more in the future.

[krazy_kool_dude]

Do we know if any dates have sold out yet? i've been back on ticketmaster.co.uk and searched for some single tickets and there's still some available!

[rathnakumar]

I need help! Is there any way to get tickets for the concert in DUBAI other than being a Team Céline member?

Yeah. That's why they removed the 7 days waiting, and add buy teamceline membership with ticket option. They did those to AVOID scalpers!!!

That's great. Her old guys are back.   

[kathy4]

i don't think that scalpers should be allowed to buy tickets.

[Hilda]

i think they should coz otherwise i wouldnt have got any haha

[Dionesque]

Oh, so there will be a video with Céline at the beginnings of her shows next year?! I'm so curious what it will be like, hehe... But hopefully it will remain surprise for me!

René said in an interview with Cyberpresse.ca there will be a fifth concert in Montréal on the 23rd of August. If I understand the French correctly René cancelled the Halifax gig because they didn't feel welcome (I agree on this one!) and that gives room for another Montréal concert on the 23rd. Will be announced officially tomorrow, tickets will go on sale this saturday...

[Alex_Incognito]

Why in the H.E. double hockey sticks are the tickets Will call?  Me no like.


And if this was her last tour, they would be billing it as that.

NOTICE...Barbra Streisand didn't bill her last tour a "Last concert tour ever."  Thank God!

There was an article on cyberpresse today talking about Celine selling 4 Montreal concerts in 35 miunutes.  Anyway it later speaks about the cancelled Halifax concert.  Surprise Surprise the real reason isn't because the venue was not appropriate.  There is a direct quote from Rene himself stating that since the concert was announced there was negative press and they did not feel welcome in the city and since that was the case the concert would be cancelled as they were not performing where they were not welcome.  let's just say that i don't have  very high respect for some of the citizens of my city right now.  They always have to find a way of ruining good things.

Like I have said before i am still all upset about the concert in Halifax being cancelled.  She was going to perform 10 minutes from my house.  because of idiots I have to go to Montreal.  I do not blame Rene for cancelling, but it still make me extremely sad.

[Filine]

I understand that Del and I am sorry, it really sucks for the fans in Halifax...
