I'm surprised that they had technical issues announcing an event... Weird

[LuisMa]

I truly hope that now they have everything set and planned, and nothing comes out of the recurrent, mysterious and malicious Sony Pandora box, like technical issues and postponements that affect the participants.

[DionFanAlways]

I just hope someone from the forum wins or gets to go and will tape the thing just in case this never sees the light of day! Remember when she did the private concert in NY last time, 2012 during promo for SA, I can't find anything about that.

[Prima_Donna1]

I hope that this will be a good concert and we will all hear the streaming. I hope she does great and that there is promotion for the album.

[LuisMa]

I wonder if later they would include a small Meet & Greet session for the winners. Probably it would already have been announced, but who knows. Now this kind of late announcement would be great.

[nuts2you]

You would think they would bring ALL her FANS from around the world to LAS VEGAS for an one night show, to promote her album. instead of just the lucky one for this.

it is so funny that only 5 People will have the Chance to win those tickets. How many People will be there in total??

5 + one guest each... = 10 + band + backup singers = 18 + RC + twins + René = 22

hahaha

[nuts2you]

well I guess you can:t buy tickets to this event? would love to go if that is the case

Since everyone seemed to be making a big deal about how this particular contest is for US only (mind you the first one we have gotten in years) and have seem to forgotten all the contests that Canadians have gotten (just the past 2 years) here is another one just for Canadians.... http://www.celinedio...ee-celine-paris

I asked my friend and she said that it's a very private event, not open to the public. They can't even get any tickets but she said that normally she can hire a friend as a private contractor for specific events. So maybe I can be like the bartender or something lol! Patron shots for Celine...AFTER the show hehe ::knocking on wood:: She said it shouldn't be hard to get me in, so we shall see!

There you have the meaning of really unplugged! Small intimate setting!

What really pisses me, is that there are not M&G contests anymore for Vegas! It's great TC is free nowadays, but back when you had to pay for it, you actually had some 'exclusivity'; concert tickets presale for good tickets, not somewhere at the back, discount in the real Boutique, sweepstakes, monthly contest to win tickets for Vegas... It's a shame we don't have that anymore and the only ones who get to meet her now are rich b****es

If i could get a ticket i would fly there for the night and come back to texas the next day , but since is by invitation only to residents of the NYC area this sucks big time. I remember back for Taking Chances they invited people from the fun club and i went, it was incredible , 4 hrs with Celine in a venue , was fun. Anyway if by any chance anyone has tickets i'll be more than glad to attend the show with you haha

[DionFanAlways]

Maybe the club will leave a window open I could fit through

If any Canadian fan hasn't already seen, be sure to check the official website for a contest for Canadian nationals! Paris!

Also, if Rene comes to watch Celine at the Edison Ballroom, I think we can all say he is just taking up one more precious seat!!!!

UGH - i just realized the THE Celine Dion station, not "a' Celine Dion station. I just happened to name my  station "Celine Dion Radio."  Argh -- what is THE Celine dion station and how do you add it??? I never cared before about the ins and outs of Pandora -- now this is driving me crazy!!!

This drives home my initial point that it is the WRONG criteria to select "passionate fans" to see this show. This really should only be open to select registered members of celinedion.com...

Also, does anyone know if invites from Pandora have been sent out yet? If no one from this forum gets an invite, then there's clearly an issue...

Maybe this is something like Shania Twain's "Up Close and Personal" show way back in 2004.

I know this announcement was handled poorly, and i know a lot of people are upset and disappointed, but I'm sort of freaking out here, because I am over 21, live in the Tri-State area, and have a Pandora station called "Celine Dion radio," where I give "thumbs-up" to Celine songs all the time.
But my station was named after Celine, Celine was my very first "seed" on the station when I started it 2.5 years ago, and I"ve thumbed-up 15 Celine songs (i just counted! they mostly play the singles, so that's a lot!)

Same here, my only station there is of the same name. I haven't logged into Pandora in a long time until today. Fingers crossed!

[c4n4d4]

Too be chosen by pandora to attend the concert it seems you have to live in the NY tri-state area based on everything I've read and seen

[browseceline]

I have a feeling this wiill be a setting like the Taking Chances tvspecial. I did not like that special. It was lipped, the audience was dull and a bunch of rich people, not real fans. And i also had the feeling celine's jokes were scripted. It would be so wonderful to sing for a crowd with fans only. And we deserve that too. Vegas is a  big moneymaker,but not for the fans. Would they listen to what the fans really want, that setlist would have to change dramatically

Ι hope she avoids singing ''Overjoyed'' & ''At Seventeen'' or anything that was recorded/released before 1996 for that matter. Her goal is to come off as modern and fresh.
