Céline, Une Seule Fois - Sur Les Plaines D'Abraham (July 27, 2013)

[wjd]

that is milking the fans. All those loyal fans that want to see her outside Vegas have to completely empty their pockets and bank accounts. I don't think Celine feels good when she hears these prices ( although she can buy a lot of shoes and dresses from it lol )

 

First of all, she's selling 5,000 tickets at $299 - there's another 59,000 tickets at $150 or less, of those, 49,000 are less than $100. That is a bargain to see a woman that is one of THE top concert draws of ALL-TIME.

Guys! Do yall really think she is going to pull Unison out of the moth balls? C'mon..... (that would be fantastic )

LOL!! and MHRD (you know it too)

oops...dyslexia moment.....RDMH

Rene said that it would be completely different from the Vegas show..

Hehe... I doubt she will. Especially if only 20% of the concert will be in English (which is good by the way IMO). So obviously we will have some major hits. But yeah, it would be fantastic if she sings it.

 

But then, who knows what surprises she can make.

[smash]

Ok, they say "Celine in Quebec", One Night only!!!! Surely there should be a DVD coming out of this concert for us. Don't you think so? Like Andrea Borcheli did in New York. Let's hope they do that for all the fans, especially the international fans who can't get to see her. Pleeeze Sony!!

how fast do you think it will sell out? Should I be on my computer for 10:00am sharp?

I've no idea how fast she'll sell out... however if you're trying to get them on Thursday we don't know how many they have reserved. Also have you booked your hotel as that will probably go fast as well.

[garçon]

During the 'CD-sales era' heyday concert tickets were much cheaper.. Of course artists, or maybe the record company, try to compensate revenue losses with these high prices.

In the light of events, judging by how her concerts have been in the last 10 years, that depends on what she's going to sing Especially for us the "hardcore" fans.Because, am I the only one here who thinks it would have been of the utmost help to know prior to buying the tickets what would be the concert SETLIST of songs?

 

Because, I'm not paying $300 or whatever to see her sing the same old french songs, or a mini section of Las Vegas, or expect her to sing her own french songs and then come with covers from other french singers. That would be a great disappointment, if you get what I mean. This concert may be the ONLY chance we have to see Céline performing her own french songs, but not just the french classics, but also many jewels that have not been performed live, not once!. So I'm not jumping into excitement yet, not at least I know what will she sing. I learned from the past already.

 

Also, I think René is so trusting. The concert will probably be sold out in the blink of an eye, but he (she) should be more kind to explain especifically what songs Céline will be singing, or at least mention that she will recover songs from her past albums that she has never performed, to catch the attention even more. It would be a great advertising to know that Céline would be singing songs from Incognito, Chante Plamondon or S'il Suffisait D'aimer that she has never sang before Is this much to ask?

In an ideal world, she would sing these rarely performed songs.

 

She does no more, or less, than any other mainstream act, in terms of her setlists.

Yes!!! :P

[Daysleeper]

She could sing at least those songs that were popular in Quebec long time ago and that we didn't hear her performing live since many years. And there are many of them. That's the least I could expect. For example:

 

Le blues du businessman

Incognito

Lolita

Des mots qui sonnent

Je danse dans ma tête

Délivre-moi

Quelqu'un que j'aime, quelqu'un qui m'aime

On traverse un miroir

D'amour ou d'amitié or any other old song from '80s.

 

etc.

 

Members from Quebec could add some others...

[Javito]

I don't know if its more or less, I just know that she's been singing only the same 4 french songs in her concerts since 1995, and that's quite a long time and a great deal of concerts made in almost 20 years.

 

What I mean is that I don't think many hardcore fans pay $300 or even $100 to see her sing for the umpteenth time PQTME, ONCP, Dans un autre monde and Je sais pas, and then a bunch of covers or duets with other french singers of their songs I'm taking for granted that she will perform songs from Sans Attendre, at least the first single (it would be a mockery if she didn't!), but I mean, if she has the whole concert for her alone, there can be many songs to be included there, and it is about time that she performs songs of her past albums, especially those that she has never sung before.

 

So yes, it may be a bargain price, but depending for who and what kind of fan.

 

They'd better come up with something new and unique this time, but for REAL!

But according to this:

http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2013/04/02/celine-dion-se-produira-seulement-a-quebec

 

this is one single show out of Vegas for this year and also for next year ...

 

Aw nooo :-( ok my only other hope is promo for the new album in Europe...or quitting my job and going in July lol

[c4n4d4]

I agree on the fact that the tickets are really expensive, but they are only $50 more than the best seats in Vegas. I am willing to spend $299, but no more then that

 

Actually if you want front orchestra seats in Vega you are playing between 500-600 dollars.

[celine-rc]

dsalkfdjl;kjfdal;jdaj I WANT TICKETS !!!!!

[nuts2you]

I have a feeling this is going to sell out very quickly, Like in minutes

[celine-rc]

Yes ! It is !!!!!!

[quaizee]

I think that 20% of english songs would be BYLM,TPOL, ABM, LCMM, of course MHWGO and the newest hit included now as a classic is RDMH... but I'm pretty sure the other 80% it's gonna be a huge-impressive setlist!!

[celine-rc]

I can't believe that they are only selling 60 000 tickets ! in 2008, they had 250 000 and there wasn't enough so imagine !

[Del]

But in 2008 it was also free so that will make a difference. That being said I still think it will sell out fast.

What tickets are you thinking of getting?

[Kyle_Jared]

I can't see 60,000 tickets selling out in minutes..maybe in a couple of hours. But who knows. It is Quebec.

[Koolan]

Please save some tickets for me!

[Tyler1991]

This is a great opportunity for her to really put herself out there. I understand she is doing what she wants to do, and what makes her happy. However, sometimes the lack of spark is pretty apparent... this event is a great way to hopefully see that spark, and also re-spark some of my own interest in her.. If she does it right then we'll get 20 songs at least, in full arrangements, and live. No unnecessary duets. No covers. Her own material, including French songs besides the same 8 she consistently does.

Since the setlist is 80% French, it's definitely going to be much more than the couple of French songs she's performed over and over again. However, beyond general statements like that it's going to be mostly in French and unique for this purpose, I disagree completely about knowing the setlist in advance. I think the thrill of that moment when you recognize the first few notes of a song and realize what she's going to sing is an amazing part of the intense emotional experience of a live concert. I know it was part of what I loved about the LTAL show I saw in 1998 -- I had absolutely no idea what she was going to sing, so there was an incredible excitement before each song. . . and the cheering as people recognize what the song is! And much as I loved the Vegas show, I wished I hadn't known exactly what she was going to sing beforehand -- it made the experience less intense and exciting, in my opinion.

[Tyler1991]

One cover I would not mind in the least bit was Quand on n'a que l'amour. She used to do this one as an encore in a lot of her 90's French sets... more recently she has performed it as a duet, though she did do it semi-recently solo, and I'm quite confident she could pull it off better now than she did here (and this is still fantastic)...

Did they mention anything about live streaming this event like in 2008? I know the chances are probably slim since it's not free.

[onix]

I would die if she sing Le bluess du business man :wub:

The last time she sang the song, was 2005 in that show in France with a full orchestra, but in that time she had weak voice.

So, the last time she sing the song amazing, was in the Juno award 1999.

 

Now, Celine's voice is amazingly restored, if she sing it i'm sure will be sound like 90's.

 

I hope she sing All by myself, I would love that song in a huuuuge concert like this just as the Falling into you tour with those big crowds

Can you imagine that amazing songs in a DVD? OMG!!!

[Peppercorn1991]

A DVD is a must! Do we know if this will be on tv too?
