Looking on TM, there seems to be quite a few tickets left for the next couple of shows.

Isnt it normally sold out?

Can someone tell me, does the show always sell out in the hours before, or has the economy finally caught up with Celine?  

[schaafi]

not sure if it's sold out every time, but the last shows I saw were pretty packed altough there was no standby line and tickets were sold until right before the show!

[exfactor003]

every show from March 15th to January 8th was sold out.

however, I was watching Ticketmaster like a hawk last week, and @ noon on January tenth, there were still 722 unsold tickets for that night's show. I think there's a possibility that those could've sold in the hours beforehand, but I guess we'll have to wait until Wednesday to see (that's usually when Billboard releases their box office scores).

these are the official box office scores for the show so far, in case any of you haven't seen them:

The New Year's Eve show was oddly the worse, in terms of having 7 front row seats
completely empty!! (4 empty in FOrch 4, 3 empty in FOrch 5), but I can safely say that it
seems like the shows still practically "sell out"

[Your_Su_Phu]

celine regularly shows up on those top grossing concert lists so I don't think we have to worry

[cwnice]

i believe if it isnt sold out, some tickets would be used by gamblers who play alot of money, like in Macau.

[couldawouldashoulda]

I have worked in many theater box offices throughout my life to help support my acting career.  I currently work in one to get some extra money while I'm in graduate school.  We are often told to say that the show is "sold out".  However, that does not mean that there aren't seats available.  It just means that there are no seats available to sell to the public.  I constantly have to turn audience members away on the phone, telling them that the performance they want to see is "sold out" even though there are still 50 or so tickets left to sell because those seats are being held for producers, actors, marketing staff, industry people, etc.  Then, suddenly 2 days before the "sold out" show, any seats remaining that haven't been given out are released to the public and the night of the performance this "sold out" show has 2 rows empty.  It's one of those crazy things about business that I will never understand.  I'm sure Celine's show is the same way.  Even though they say the shows are "sold out", there are still empty seats every night.  When I saw the show on April 12th, there were probably 20 or 30 seats in rows 4-8 in the center section that went empty.  Although my seats were perfectly acceptable (back row of the front of the orchestra), I was still so mad that I couldn't move up front - even when I asked the box office to do so.

Awww I see. Thanks for the info! We'll never understand and it SUCKS! Especially when the true fans want to be up close so badly

[CelineAndRene]

You'd be surprised how many people decide to go to the show the NIGHT OF THE SHOW. Not even fans per say, but just Vegas spectators and people looking to see shows.

Which is perfect to convert more fans.

Speaking about tickets, does anyone here know when the next block of tix will be on sale to celinedion.com members before they go on sale to the general public? Or when is the next scheduled announcement for the rest of Celine's shows for the remainder of 2012?
