You people underestimate the power of Celine. People are paying thousands of dollars and cross the world to see her perfome, hit or no hit, and you don't think they'll pay 200 euros to see her in their hometown? I'm more than sure they will. And Celine it's not even that expensive, compared to other performers out there... Even a kid like Justin Timbarlake charges more. I won't even get started in Barbra, and her last hit was with Celine, Tell Him... So, relax. Celine and her team are very smart people, they wouldn't play big venues if they knew they couldn't sell the tickets.

Yeah, relax people, Celine and her team are very smart when it comes to sucking money from the fans. And you're right, some of us WILL pay 200 euros and more to see Celine, I'm just sorry for those fans who don't stand the chance in this money obsessed world and will never see her cause they can't afford it. But screw them, right? As long as Celine and her team are so smart not to care. I mean, c'mon, why would she be any different then the rest of the singers. After all, it's not about fans and singing, it's all about money.

Yes, it is about money, we all work for money. And the best, in any field, are paid huge amounts. Celine is the best in her field, it's normal for her to get so much money. Just like you, if you were the best in your field, or me, we'd get paid really well. Come back to earth people, none of us work for free and we all want bigger and bigger paychecks. Unless those of you that do volunteer work only... Cut the idealistic bull#(&^

You're totally right, and I'm not some idealistic fool, I'm just too sympathetic to those people who wants to go and can't because of money. I know how would I feel if I can't go, so I'm sad that some other fan feels like that. Some people do have feelings you know. I know very well how the world works but that doesn't mean that I should like it.

Awww, I wonder why she isn't coming to Australia. Maybe she had a bad experience last time she came here That's too bad; I was really looking forward to seeing Celine in concert for the first time.

Don't worry, it's still open.. In fact, the world tour rumours were started by an Australian mag/site, so I reckon it's very likely she'll be performing there..

June 7, 2007 at 01:35 PM

Thanks for giving me some hope about the concert cscfan

I'll keep my fingers crossed. I like your banner! Edited June 7, 2007 at 01:36 PM by Gina00

The prices of these tickets are SHOCKING !!
If I was still living and working in South Africa I would NEVER be able to afford these prices !
I paid R220 for my Bon Jovi tickets but R3900 for Celine !!
Totally worth it but still unbelievable - daylight robbery I tell ya !!

Actually the most expensive ticket is R866.00 (Vergelegen Golden Circle).. the 4 prices below that are packages (tickets, hotel, etc.).. it's still much, but fortunately also much less than R3900..

I emailed them this morning and asked what the VIP package includes and they sent me tis:

For R3900:

The VIP Losies Hospitality Package includes the following:

* Premium Reserved Seating in VIP Hospitality Seated Area

* Access to VIP, Estate Enclosure with private toilet facilities

* Welcome drink on arrival

* Delectable dinner buffet, cocktail style

* Complimentary select bar service

* Official Event Souvenir Programme

* On site security

* VIP parking (one vehicle per two packages)

No hotels?

It doesn't make any sense...

Way too much money for just that.

That's a full months salary for most South Africans.

June 7, 2007 at 02:12 PM

Yeah, very weird....

June 7, 2007 at 05:25 PM

I agree with Kian, i know many fans who can go to any concert next year just because of money...

And i can understand it very well as I'm a fen for 14 years now and it will be also my first time seeing Céline live!... OK, during FiY and LTAL tours the tickets were cheaper but they were still way too expansive for me those days as I haven't got my own money than and we've got like 300 euros for the entire family (4 persons) for the entire month! So even tickets for 50 euros were only a dream to me...

And Teodora, if I see well - you are from Romania, right? So you should know very well as your country is also not a very rich one. I'm sure you are one of very few fans from your country who will see Céline live during the upcoming tour...

And the same goes to many other people, not only in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and South America - I'm sure for many people in Western Europe and in Northen America the prices are much too high too....

And please, don't talk about Barbra... I think she and/or her management just lost their minds.

My ticket for Nice, France just arrived TODAY, along with some wonderful treats from a friend of mine in France!

I'm SO excited

Merci, N., Je t'aime beaucoup! :wub:

June 14, 2007 at 03:01 AM

I think there will be many legs of the tour 'coz she has to promote the new English album and go on the tour at the simultaneously.

June 14, 2007 at 05:30 PM

OMFG my tickets from Ticketnet for Bercy came today!!!!!! :clap: :kicking: :clap:

No they didn't e-mail me, just turned up so it was a nice surprise!

What date did you order yours?

Btw, do you know how to change the local time in my profile cos mine is wrong!! :giggle:

17th May in answer to your first question

The second question: Go to Options at the top of the page which will take you to the place where you can alter your personal settings. On the left-hand side (near the bottom), under Options, choose Board Settings (3rd one up from the bottom). That'll take you to the page where you can set your local time

June 14, 2007 at 08:20 PM

Thankyou - that has been annoying me for ages! :flowers:

I ordered mine on the 19th May - I'm sure yours will come any day now! :bye1:

UK Celine Fans: Beware of Unauthorized Ticket Agents!

June 16 , 2007

We have received numerous e-mails from fans claiming to have purchased tickets for alleged Celine concerts in the UK. Please note that no UK concerts have been confirmed at this time and these tickets are not authorized. There is actually a local government crackdown on this illegal practice in the UK. All official Celine concert information can be found on the Concert Dates page in the What's Goin' On section!

This is so bad. I know those websites just rip fans off.

June 16, 2007 at 05:41 PM

To be honest I would never buy tickets for a show that hasn't even been announced yet, especially from an unauthorised seller. Fair enough if the tickets had been on sale and were now sold out but there hasn't even been a general release yet. It's sad people would fall for this. Edited June 16, 2007 at 05:41 PM by Shaun

:furious: It makes me so angry

I hope no-one here has waisted their money !

June 17, 2007 at 03:02 AM

Is anyone going? How far is the Bercy stadium from Paris? Will I even be able to see Celine from the corner of the stadium? :unsure:

June 17, 2007 at 03:51 AM

i checked the plane ticket is way to expensive for me to go

June 17, 2007 at 08:05 AM

Well I hope she'll have a show in the Philippines too.

Bercy is IN Paris.... :whistling: It's not a stadium, it's a concerts/sport events room, about 16,000 people capacity.

I got my tickets for May 19th at Bercy too! :clap: Waiting for the ones on the 21st.

www.globaleventsdirect.com have listed Celine on their home page. Now the ticket price is expensive, but the dates sound about right, so this could be official. I am not happy with the price or location so really hope these are not official, but if they are accepting money from people it must be official, but not confirmed by celinedion.com, what do you gues think.

June 17, 2007 at 09:43 PM

any other news on another countries she might be performing???

June 17, 2007 at 10:18 PM

Probably not till (late) Summer..

I won't be buying anything until some kind of "official" announcement is made. It's too risky. I've signed up for e-mail alerts with both the O2 Arena and Ticketmaster.co.uk. Ticketmaster "promise" to keep you up-to-date with news even before the tickets go on sale. Time will tell :whistling:

WendyB - do you have your tickets yet?

June 18, 2007 at 11:32 AM

WendyB - do you have your tickets yet?

No :down:

Checked my account yesterday and it still says what it's always said - your tickets will be with you soon! There's no mad panic, but if they don't come this week I'll probably e-mail Ticketnet.fr to find out when they're likely to be sent. Thanks for asking :flowers:

I have just checked on my account and mine still says You will receive your tickets soon, so it doesn't change once they are sent out.... :flowers:

Thanks for that. I've e-mailed them - let's see what they have to say. Still plenty of time to sort out any "problems", but I'd sooner have them in my hands
