Hi people,

 

I bought 2 tickets through TeamCeline (1999,89 SAR that is 364 EUR) and I can't wait to be there and see Queen Celine LIVE but the problem is I have to find a male blood relative (and my father's approval) to acompany me to Dubai coz I'm not allowed to travel alone simply coz I'm a Saudi woman (not to forget to mention that I'm over 26.... how pathetic!!! )

 

Anyways... I'll do my very best and whatever it takes to be there

International Super diva, Céline Dion, gets ready to Rock Dubai

(8:30 p.m. GMT) Celine Dion will be enchanting Dubai with her presence at Four Season's Golf Club Dubai Festival City on March 5th, 2008 (Doors open at 16:30, concert starts at 20:30 sharp). Be prepared to be put in a trance by the music diva’s overwhelming vocal powers which have captivated audiences the world over. The concert which also marks Dubai’s debut diva performance in 2008 is expecting a quick sell-out. Celine Dion is the biggest selling female artist of all time with 175 million records sold worldwide. “This will be Celine’s first visit to the Gulf and the Middle East, she is very excited to be bringing her show to a place she has never been to before.

 

Accompanying her on her trip will be her husband, who is of Middle Eastern origin but will also be visiting the region for the very first time” comments Duncan Heafield, representing Kusasa, the entity assuring the smooth sailing of Celine’s South African and Middle East tour, ‘Taking Chances’, which is set to be the world’s most publicized and anticipated music tour of the 21st Century. Celine Dion’s World tour will be covering all corners of the globe, making stops in Africa, the Middle East, Japan, Korea, China, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the America’s, including 25 countries and in over 100 cities.

 

 

Organizing such a large scale production considering the challenging terrain of the venue has not been an easy operation. To top this off, event organizers are striving to ease the traffic in the area on the evening of the concert. “We have chosen an extraordinary venue which compliments the artist’s image. Both our local and international teams have worked hand in hand to confront the mega challenges encountered in hosting the concert at Four Seasons Golf Club. With Dubai’s traffic problem in mind, we have set adequate plans with the Dubai Festival City team to ensure maximum comfort for parking space, with clear signs and traffic controllers to guide people. We are also providing shuttle buses to the venue from the parking lot, as well as having the option to walk to the entrance” reassures Tony Haswani, Event organizer for the Middle East wing of the tour.

 

 

Four Seasons Golf Club, a high end venue exuding sophistication and prestige, will be hosting its first ever concert on 5th March 2008. “'Four Seasons is delighted to be the venue of choice for the Celine Dion 'Taking Chances' Dubai concert” comments Bahram Sepahi, Regional Vice President and General Manager Four Seasons Dubai. The pop icon, who is set to perform some of her legendary classic numbers, will also be wooing crowds to the melody of her latest album ‘Taking Chances’.

 

 

Dubai’s multicultural landscape will be reaching out and embracing the pop diva when she arrives in March. Blessed with one of popular music's great voices, she has crossed all barriers - even that of language - with her electrifying series of international hits. Celine has been called the premier contemporary pop vocalist of the Nineties. She has earned music industry accolades from around the world: Grammy Awards in the US, Juno and Felix Awards in Canada, and World Music Awards in Europe. Céline's international breakthrough came when she recorded the title track for the soundtrack to the animated Disney hit movie 'Beauty and the Beast, picking up an Academy Award and a Grammy Award. This was shortly followed by the block buster Titanic’s song “My Heart will go On” which won the Academy award for Best Original Song. Hurry up and book your tickets online through www.showbizme.com, or by calling Hotline: +971 4 366 2277. Heads up, tickets will also go on sale in-store mid February.

Celine Dion elated about Dubai show

 

Canadian songbird Celine Dion is looking forward to her March 5 date with Dubai.

 

“I have heard that Dubai is a beautiful, new and very fast growing city that has become a worldwide attraction with its new wonders – a must see destination – a new Vegas,” said Dion in Johannesburg, South Africa, where she performed on Valentine’s Day to kick off her world tour.

 

As part of the same tour Dion is due to perform in Dubai at Four Seasons Golf Club, Dubai Festival City.

 

On her visit to the Middle East Dion will be accompanied by her mother, husband René Angélil and son René-Charles. The family is not new to Arab culture since René, who also happens to be Dion’s manager, is of Middle Eastern ancestry.

 

“I love performing, every time I get on to stage it is special for me, each time has its own charm. I look forward to performing in front of an Arab dominated audience for the very first time”.

 

When asked whether her son René-Charles will be following in his mother's footsteps, Dion replied “He is very interested in music, and I will surely back him up and support any decision he makes when the time comes.”

 

Forbes recently ranked Dion as one of the most powerful and highest paid music artists in the world. When asked if she had ever imagined to be where she is today, Dion said, “Well, I love singing so much and I do my best to communicate all my feelings through my songs. I don’t think of awards or to be the best selling artist, I just think of giving my audience an unforgettable experience and do my very best to achieve this.”

Hi,

 

To those who purchaced through TC, we have to take a strict stand if they say to us that we have to take the golden circle and we have to clarify that we paid more that the public after the fake discount.

 

I think we have to have some kind of arrangent ,do not we.
