Do you mean general sale? I didn't think there were details of a presale yet?

Do you mean general sale? I didn't think there were details of a presale yet?

What'S the difference? I mean a presale was to take place starting on 14th May, 10:00. When the new date is set you will be able to purchase tickets a year in advance for Céline's shows in Paris and Nice.

[nature boy]

Ah we call a pre-sale getting the chance to get tickets specially before they go on sale to the general public. For example like TC do for A New Day...

OK, I very well meant the general sale then where everybody is free to buy.

That date was never officially announced in the first place. There was just the Cherie FM ad, and that marketing plan that the general public was never supposed to see (lucky we have people with connections ). We should wait until the official site says something. They have to announce it before the sale begins. But for the moment, I don't even think they know the exact concert dates. I know it's between 19 - 27 May, but there are only 6 concerts over a 9-day period... I'd love to be able to get tickets for the first and the last concerts in Paris, and if they're not too expensive, for one in the middle

You mean not officially announced like the HUGE banners at Carrefour announcing the tickets going on sale on 14th?

OK, I didn't know about those banners, but still, I call it official when Celine, Rene or Sony say: "The tickets will go on sale on...", or when that info is posted on Celine's official website.

Well if that's what your waiting for, don't hold your breath.

A famous Chinese host confirmed Celine will tour in China next April. She went to A New Day show last night, and interviewed Celine. Celine told her, she would tour in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou next April.

This news is from the host's blog. And maybe they'll broadcast the interview later.

I still don't believe my mind. Can't believe I can watch Celine concert in my city. I hope she'll use one of the new stadiums for the Olympics Game.

[VinnyT.]

I'm so happy for you, Bellamy.

[Bellamy]

BTW, the hostess was very excited on her blog. And she just get to know she was born at the same day same year as Celine. This hostess is also one of the presenters of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Bidding Committee. She's very famours in China. So I believe her news is true.

[ryandion25]

OMG!!

Bellamy, I was so very excited when i saw this news yesterday night.

I can't believe i can see Celine in China,our country.

glad I didn't go back to China this year. Maybe I can be there in April.

[brasilero]

Oh... Give me a break! A world tour is what I (and I think the most of the fans) were waiting to for soooo long! Not everybody has the money to travel to Vegas to see her. It's just not fair. But after 5 years in Vegas, she could just finish there and say "Byeee people! See you somedaY!". But no! She will travel city by city, so her fans will have a chance to see her live at least one time in life. That's why I love her.

yea i know. I'm just concerned about Celine's health. maybe she's pushing herself too hard. most singers dont do back to back projects like this. she is going at break-neck pace. thats how she got burnt out in 1996-1999. I just want her to be happy and healthy. Now you said Celine goes city by city for her world tour so her fans can see her, but you know its always the same places and cities, Paris, New York, Chicago, Montreal etc. i dont really think Celne is going to be traveling to Brazil anytime soon. Too dangerous. i think it would be easier for you to travel to Las Vegas because it isnt that far from LV, than for you to wait for her. . Iwill save up my money and go to LV too, so can you.

i thought she could see at olympics:(

I don't think this world tour would be only the same places. We have South Africa, Spain, China already. I think most countries she never made concerts would be announced soon.

Go to China? That's great!

She only went to Hong Kong in her last Asia tour.

Hope she can think about Taipei be included,too.

Here's a rough translation of the Chinese hostess blog:

I went to watch pop diva Celine Dion's "A New Day..." show last night at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, United States. And I interviewed her after the show.

 

This is an unbelieveable amazing show. Just think about it, 5 days a week for the past 4.5 years, same show in the same theater. This is such a tremendous challenge to body and will. She needs to perform with passion and make it fresh everyday. She has to please 4,100 audience everyday. This is hardly possible! Celine said she could be so passionate after almost 5 years, cause it's the love and passion grow out from her heart everyday. "It's like kiss the one you loved. When you have love inside of your heart, every kiss would give you fresh feeling."

 

To accomplish the show everyday, she formularized her life. "I'm very seriously. It needs a lot discipline. Of course my husband and my six years old son stabilized my life too. Everyone think I'm going upstairs step by step. But actually I'm going done step by step to search my root in these years."

 

In the past ten years, her husband had cancer, artificial insemination and many crucifixions. Celine believes she had found her root. So she can grow happily now.

 

In my interview, she mentioned for the first time she would come to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to make concerts in next April. Although her assistants reminded her it's not time to announce it officially yet. She still can't help telling like a child:" I must tell! I can't wait! I'm over excited whenever I think about it !"

 

 

Interview such a passionate and pure person like her is a pleasure. A big surprise to both of us is we were born at the same day, same year. Life is magical. We made a promise we'll celebrate our 40th birthday together next year. "40 years old. We're just ready to begin."

That's great. It sounds like she's really going to expand her horizons and travel A LOT of places next year....

[Teodora]

That is really cool! I wish I had enough money to follow Celine in this world tour, see her in every city

[anewdayhascome]

please somwhere in central/eastern europe!

I think it's a great idea if Celine went to China because it is the untapped market that has the potential of her getting EXPLODING album sales. There is a 4 times bigger market in China than the USA and to not take advantage of that is crazy Go Celine, I hope China loves her and buys her new english album and make the worldwide sales the highest she's ever had!

[Teodora]

please somwhere in central/eastern europe!

Yeeeees! Anywhere...Bulgaria, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary....I don't even dare to dream Romania. But they're so close and since we all are in EU now it's so easy to travel. I do hope she comes.

[thevoice]

yes china is a huge market but i think they r more into local stuff there not to mention all the censorship going on...

Actually China CD market is not that big. The best selling album in Chinese could sell 1 million the most. And the CD price is much cheaper here than in the US. So China is never a big market of selling music. But some other markets about Music could sell damn lot. For example, a popular ringtone could selling 10 million times easily. And concert tickets price here are not any cheaper than in the US. So tour to China could get as much money as in other countries. Get a lot money from China is possible, but not by selling CD. Oh, and Celine is known as the Titanic Queen Diva in China. One stupid thing is I can't find any Celine ringtone to download. If SONY can add MHWGO and Celine's new single... as ringtone for mobile phone. I bet it could sell a lot with proper promotion.

[Teodora]

Ya, but I don't think Celine is censorship material. I know they had special edition of the albums... Remember those Miracle special stuff they got? There are a billion people in China. I think there can be a couple of million to buy Celine's music . Go China, make our Celine reach 300 million albums!

[Bellamy]

Censorship would never be applied to Celine songs, cause her songs are about love and love only. But britney, Madonna... and many hip-pop songs are cencored quite often. But I'm very glad they did. Actually I hope they could forbid all those crap songs.
