If NO ONE from here gets a ticket, it's really messed up. With 700 tickets to go around and plenty of people here that live in the NY area, you would think that at least ONE person here would get an invite.

 

I'm so disappointed with this...I live right outside NYC and frequently use the Celine Dion Pandora station (as well as the Celine Dion Holiday station lol) and haven't heard a thing! I even emailed Pandora over a week ago asking how they will select the winners among the people that meet their criteria but no response. I hope someone from here gets in!

If you think about it, 700 tix isn't really that many, b/c I'm sure each person gets a pair -- so it's only 350 winners. And if you think about how many people live in the New York City metropolitan area . . .maybe it's not that weird that none of us have gotten invites. So, so, disappointing though :(

It's 7 days away and nobody has heard anything. I wonder how many forum members actually entered? I entered one each for myself, my husband and my son... :giggle:

I entered the contest and so did my husband. We both got e-mails thanking us for entering, but we haven't heard anything. It would be absolutely wonderful to win. It's odd that winners haven't been announced yet, but I'll do whatever it takes to be there even if I find out at the last minute!!

My mom and I both entered ... we got the thank you email too. It's so startling when it pops up in your email box, because it lists the sender as "Celine Dion" -- so it's like, "Wait, what?! Celine Dion emailed me?!?!"

I'm not quite sure that people will win pairs of tickets. But if I am sufficiently lucky to get two, I'll offer my second one to somebody here as all my friends fans of celine are in Europe or Quebec.

 

Also, I'm sure that no email has been sent for now otherwise we would find people trying to sell their tickets or complaining that they finally can't go to the special event. Not here for sure, but on other websites.

 

Let's be patient.... And optimistic!!!! <3

I've heard there are no seats leaft anymore. The hall is small and with all 13 Celine brothers and sisters coming, the children and nephews of these coming too, and then the children of René plus the relatives of his past marriages, the room is full capacity already.

 

That's why its been called an "intimate" evening with Celine.

You also forgot to mention Ramona. I think she was adopted into the family somewhere along the way! :giggle:

I thought the same thing too! It's weird/shocking lol. It went directly to my inbox so if the other e-mails come from the same place, it shouldn't go to my junk-mail. But who knows......

I'm trying so hard to be patient and optimistic but it's so hard with no word from anyone. I was expecting to at least hear/see someone on here go completely nuts that they won! LOL I do know the 5 winners for the contest will have flight arrangements for 2, 2 tickets to the show and hotel arrangements (It says that directly in the official rules under the grand prize description). Not sure about the Pandora invites but I'd imagine it would be for the invitee & a guest.

Yes, it does seem sloppy and very last minute. With my luck, hell will freeze over and I'll actually win but not be notified until Sunday night (to fly out Monday morning) and I won't be able to make arrangements for my daughter that fast.......and I'll have to decline. :cry: Oh, who am I kidding, I'll go by myself and take Jamie with me! ;) My husband can call his mom to come help out. hahahaha

Yeah, the closer it gets the harder it will be for my husband to make arrangements, I think. It may be too much of a hassle to fly my mom from Texas if he can't go. My MIL would go but then she's the best option to help with my husband's odd work schedule........thus the idea I may just go by myself; assuming I'd be one of the lucky 5. ;) I think Rene would have someone's head for this, too! HA!

Lets gather the town folk, hand out bic lighters and chant rabble, rabble, rabble...lol. It's just frustrating. I've never seen her in concert. And it's exciting to have a chance in a million. Edited by brujocrow

No way!! Pandora mentioned it was for big fans!!! To connect fans with their artist. And people who are not fans are not aware of this event!!!

No-no-no we will have our replies before next Tuesday evening :-) and we will ... be satisfied I hope
