June 2, 2008 - Amsterdam, Netherlands (Amsterdam Arena)

[Terre]

She might not be staying there, I thought it was confirmed that she would be staying in Paris until July? Amsterdam is close enough to Paris I guess...

 

 

 

Singing to Céline would be absolutely fantastic! I think BYLM or TLYM would be great. Let's make it happen!

 

 

I bet TLYM would be so great!

Yeah...

 

Let's Make it happen... make it happen...

 

 

 

 

btw Terre,I am sitting right next to you!

 

Really?! Well, see you there! I'm warning you: I'll scream like crazy!

 

 

 

Me too,of course! It will be my very first Celine concert,so...

Celine drives all of us crazy...

 

It'll be my first Céline concert too! I can't believe I'll be seeing her after all these years!

[videoboy]

I GIVE YOU MY SIT: SECTION: A4, ROW 5, SEAT 8.

 

Who is next to meee????

[videoboy]

I' m sorry, I was wrong . I am A6, not A4.

[Dionesque]

I'm in A6 too! Row 1, seat 17 - anyone seating close to me??

 

Anyways, what about security control at the entrances to ArenA??

I mean, do they seak through bags and/or pockets??

 

In Paris they were checking only the bags so I could sneak in stuff in my pocket but how about Amsterdam??...

Hi guys,

 

Something serious has come up and I am unable to go to Amsterdam to see Celine.

 

I have 2 front row seats in team celine section that I want to sell but dont know if this is possible because they're team celine ones.

 

I am based in the UK and can ship all the info and everything to you. If anyone is interested and know how to help me then please let me know, many thanks.

If anyone wants to meet in Amsterdam before the concert, I'm up for it, have the day off so can take the train to A'dam anytime!

My pic is in the may 16th Antwerp topic so u can recognize me

[ivo]

I was at the concert in Antwerp on may 14th. I bought the tickets for that concert because the Amsterdam concert was announced much later. Now i don't know what to do. I see that there are some ticktes available, but then i have to go by myself. Because the person that wants to go with me (she said oh i want to see Celine one more time also, but when is it? That monday she is out of the country. So now i am doubting if i should go ...........

[I Surrender]

Dont THINK TWICE. Go or else u will regret it

[Dionesque]

Exactely! Celine is coming to YOUR country - how can you miss on that?!!

I'm going alone too, all the way from Germany!

[I Surrender]

u wont be ALONE for sure. a stadium filled with fans who love celine what more can u ask for ?

[bypicis]

Hi everybody! i`m writing from Madrid, this is my first time that i can see her on stage::: I`m so excited!!!!

 

best wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[I Surrender]

Have a great time. You will love it I am sure

[VinnyT.]

There will be no Bocelli in Amsterdam on june 2nd he has a concert in Milan-Italy

[Dionesque]

Yeah, we already know this. But maybe they could do a satelite connection and sing together, hehe - Celine did in past for some shows while she was still in Vegas.

Although I doubt it personally.

 

Honestly, after all the concerts I've already seen and all the rumoured surprises (like duet with Garou in Antwerp, duet with Barbra Streisand in Paris, possible guest appearance of other French stars in Paris...) I'm not really believe any other rumours and don't expect any surprises anymore.

 

I'm just happy for having Celine on the stage and hearing her angellic voice!!

[mirage]

for anyone who wants to have tickets:

 

"Voor maandag zijn in totaal 54.220 kaarten beschikbaar.

Tot nu toe zijn er 47.000 kaarten verkocht, dus er zijn nog kaarten beschikbaar"

 

in total there are 54.220 tickets, there are 47.000, so still 7000 to go...

[BrigitteIsabella]

How do you know if a show is being recorded for a DVD? Do they tell the audience?

[CSCfan]

You can see by the amount of camera's (and especially a crane).... but there's been nothing on this, so don't expect anything..

[Davey84]

damn still a lot of seats empty!! pretty bad actually if you ask me

[CSCfan]

"Luckily" it's basically only the upper corners that are empty....

[Davey84]

yeah I know... and I understand, cos 53 euros is a lot for crappy seats... but still in 1999 61083 people came to see her

 

btw on the main Arena site, there are 2 pix of céline now!

Perhaps people will buy tickets on the day itself at the stadium..

[Dionesque]

Haha, ok I guess 7000 empty seat would be a disastair in Bercy or in Antwerp Sportpaleis but oh well, in ArenA noone will notice, LOL!

That's great about it!

And I agree, there may be people wanting to buy tickets right before the show.

[CSCfan]

I think it's also the case of people being very picky.... On Wednesday they suddenly released a LOT of tickets (a few rows) on both short sides of the stadium and also a few on the field.... They were gone in an hour or so (I bought a couple for a friend). And now the same tickets like last week, in the upper corner(s) are available..

Hé guys, I think its about time to pick a song to sing for Celine! That way we still have some time to spread the word on the internet, through mailinglists and websites. Its a nice idea to slightly change the lyrics, but on the other hand: it could end up being a mess as well... Because most people will not know about the changements and will be singing the original lyrics. Only the people who read it on the internet will know about the different lyrics. Maybe its better to just sing the original song?

 

I think the song that is most known will be Because you loved me, although To love you more would be so great to sing... But we have to keep in mind that there may be people that dont own all her cd's and DVD's... What do you think? Should we pick Because you loved me? And do we sing it right before My Love, when she is on the piano? Or during her first speech?

[CSCfan]

My vote goes to BYLM & just before "My Love".... it's a bit too "busy" during her intro speech I reckon..

[Dionesque]

My vote goes for "BYLM" with a bit modified lyrics (see one of Mathias' posts above). That's really easy, catchy and I think it may work great!

I hope there will be some other involved fans in section A6 so they can start singing with me in that section, LOL!

[LD1977]

You know what? Let's make it official!

 

ANNOUNCEMENT

 

We would love to welcome Céline to Holland in a special way! Therefor we ask everyone that attends the show of June 2nd to participate in the following idea.

 

Right before she sings 'MY LOVE', when she sits down on the piano, we will all sing for HER. We will be singing part of 'BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME', a song everyone will know. Here are the lyrics we would like to sing:

 

You were our strength when we were weak,

You were our voice when we couldn't speak,

You were our eyes when we couldn't see,

You saw the best there was in us

 

Lifted us up when we couldn't reach,

You gave us faith coz you believed....

We're everything we are, because youuuu loved uuuuus

 

We hope as many people as possible can spread the word through mailinglists, websites, e-mail, Hyves, and so on... SPREAD THE WORD, MAKE THIS A NIGHT TO REMEMBER!

[CSCfan]

Will post it on the CDIP site/hyves later....could you send it through the Reason Laura?

[videoboy]

Great idea! I think we should print some little papers and put them on the seats, aboe all on the seats near to the stage. French fans did this in Bercy. What do you think? Let's think about the message (it shoud be short>) we can write.

[LD1977]

Yes, I will send it to The Reason, no problem!

 

Great idea about the papers, actually we should have people in various blocks to spread them. I am not sure at what time I will arrive in the Arena, so if there are any volunteers? We could also make one paper per row (in one block) and ask people to pass it on to the other side. That way security won't start to complain, I am not sure how strict they are about spreading stuff.
