April 2, 2008 - Melbourne, Australia (Rod Laver Arena)

[superstarleash]

It was so stupid. I think we picked the wrong person. I can attempt to take them to the Sydney concerts... It's absolutely ridiculous. We had to keep going back and forth to the car because of them not letting us take a normal bag in (just one of those mesh ones). Even though that was the only bag we had with our stuff in it.

[likeaflower]

^ omg I HATE that! I went through the young guy and had a big HMV plastic bag with my Celine record cover in it, when he checked my bag I held it behind my back lol

[*Celinish*]

talking about handbags, when it was my turn to be checked the security guy didnt even check my bag...haha i looked at him, coz i was confused...he was just staring right into my face and not saying anything...as far as i remember i told him a few times whether i needed to actually open my bag for him to see what was in it...i saw him look/search into other pplz bags hmm anyway

 

after the show (when almost everyone was gone) my mates and i went out to take some pix and there was this secutiry guy who's eyes were glued into me the whole time we were there....he was just staring...it was really freaky! lol

 

YES I KNOW IM VERY RANDOM haha

i think its pretty random...because my handbag was quite big and when we were outside checking for cameras that was the only time they even looked at my bag and he barely even looked and that was it. some obviously dont give a cr@p and others take it very seriously. its not like a sign could harm anyone anyway.

[CSCfan]

I caaaaan't fight the feelin', a natural hiiiiiiigh

 

[Celine AJ]

What happens if they find a small camera in a small bag???

 

Surely they let you keep it and tell you you can;t take photos...???

Everyone...take one...and at least take one pic....stuff the security in Sydney I say....we pay all this money to see someone who we love...we should be able to capture a photo or two that we don't actually have to download.

 

I am going to the soundcheck on Saturday...but my Mum is coming to the show later...and I am getting her to bring my camera in her bag....she will hide it in one of the pockets.........

 

I want to ake pics....outside the venue...inside....the stage...surley they can;t stop us doing that.......and of Anthony Callea...last time I was at ACER was to see Anthony Callea and I took hundreds of photos of him and Westlife.

 

This issue just frustrates me....and I know this probably makes little sense....just me excited but ranting about the camera issue!

[Jacqui]

Awww gosh...I feel overwhelmed even reading all your reviews...seeing Celine sounds like such an incredible experience. Thanks for sharing it with us.

We have less than 48 hours until Sydney...wow...I don't know if I can do this. Seeing Celine for the first time seems like such an emotional thing, after years of loving and supporting her....I'm just worried about exactly how emotional I'm gonna get, and whether I'll end up bawling like a baby through the whole thing. Does anyone have any insights on how to cope with all this?

It seems a bit daunting right now, but not in a bad way. Well I haven't slept in about 24 hours (I saw Delta again this morning and got up veeeeeeerrrry early for it) so I'm gonna get some sleep, maybe it'll seem less scary in the morning.

im not sure, but i assume they will place your camera somewhere with your name and perhaps some other info for you to collect after the show...

 

and again, i asked like 2 security gaurds in regards to this and their reply was 'its celine's idea, she doesnt want any pictures taken or being recorded...'

 

if you manage to take one in and your choosing to take pix, you have to be very carefull-3 WARNINGS & YOUR OUT!

 

Jacqui: darl just let it all out, in a few months/yrs you will look back and regret not enjoying and expressing how you exactly feel! HONESTLY, just who cares about what people may think, let this be your night expressing such love is not a CRIME!

Thank you guys for all the pics and especially for all the great reviews!!! Wow!!!! I really feel like I were there with you while reading your reviews!! You describe everything so great and with so much emotion!! :clap:

[anewdayhascome]

so there were any previous soundchecks when people could attend? can't wait!

[Dionesque]

You can't wait for... what? Are you going to attend a soundcheck yourself? I haven't realized this so far.

She was great! And Hi everyone at the same time, this is my first post!

[loopygal]

Thanks for the wonderful pics!!! :D :D

 

I wish there was a few with all the different outfits that she wore!!! Hehehehe

 

Wherd did these come from? Getty?

[Adeline]

thanks for the HQ Thomas

[Dionesque]

The professional photographers are allowed to take pics at the shows usually only during first 3 songs, that's why we're getting pics of Céline in the same outfits all over again.

But they are wonderful!!!

[Benjamin]

Thanks Thomas, have you got the HQ from Brisbanne?

[celinefanonline]

thanks for the pic but i have a question

well i have notice that almost all the concer pic r only where celine wear the first outfit? how come there's no other??

i know we have some but compare to the black one it's so few...

[I Surrender]

Thanks for the Pics.

[aleskr]

Thanks Thomas!

It would be nice if Celine surprised us and opened the show with another outfit so we could get some different HQs

Dionesque just told us! Look up ^

[stevo]

Thanks Thomas- I think we'll see new outfits in Manchester because it's the start of the European Leg and I think by then they'll want to shake it up just to give themselves the go-ahead and lift they'll need. I hope she still shows loads of leg.

[JP]

Thanks a lot for the HQ Thomas, really appreciate!

[Koolan]

Fanatsic reviews! You all seem to have the time of your lives.

[aicee]
