Courage World Tour - EU shows CANCELED

[Ajax]

She always a bit struggles on some few parts in IYAMT. It s not an easy song in a way that there is quite a lot of words especially in the most intensive parts vocally, the dynamic is quite there. But when you hear ABM of course TLBSEPT The Prayer and even so many others she masters way harder notes even with a high flow. Well that’s my feeling.

, [Notice to all French and Belgian fans] According to an informed source working at Sony Music France, TF1 negotiated with Sony and Céline's production a live broadcast of its show at Paris La Défense Arena, the largest concert hall of Europe. The broadcast date would be Saturday July 4.

TF1 should not communicate on this event before June (contractual clause).

A CD / DVD / Blu-ray of the concert would also be considered, for a year-end release.

that would mean no further legs will be added to the tour. so World tour means NA and Europe

[mirage]

We had these same rumors and sources for the 2016 and 2017 tour.

 

Only this time it would make sense. The setlist is crap so definitely they want to release this one

Nope. *possibly* broadcasting and/or releasing a French show has zero influence or impact on her touring schedule, especially considering Taiwanese Media have reported shes booked Taipei Arena for this year and also Frontier Tourings recent slip up...

[Alex_Incognito]

Her voice is definitely the star on this tour. And she certainly wows the audience. I am still amazed by how she can wow me. Those moments she lets it rip and I'm sitting there going "Holy God!"

Céline Dion Courage World Tour has now grossed a massive $54.7 MILLION with just 29 shows!

What are you referring to about Frontier Touring? 😊

Saw on UKmix as well on Twitter that Frontier Touring responded to a fan asking if Celine was going back to Aus/NZ this year and they responded with winking emojis, it was soon deleted though, leaving it to be questionable

Seems theyre gonna have to cancel the 3rd Brooklyn date. Been on sale for months and is still sitting with over 5,000 tickets left available

show must go on and i’m sure it will be sold out if not only few remaining tickets will be available but still it’s still early to say that. Some buy tickets last minute

[couldawouldashoulda]

I’m waiting until the last minute to buy mine. (Already have tickets to the other two.) I already saw a single ticket 5th row drop to $331 but I thought it would go lower. Was wrong - someone else snagged it. Will keep looking. There are lots of “$900 VIP Diamond Package seats that will drop significantly in price once the show is closer.

I very highly doubt it. To sell 5,000 tickets only 5 weeks till the show date when there are already 2 other dates at the same venue as well as it being a mid-week show... AND at those prices, either it’ll be cancelled or it will probably get publicised as a flop

[Xpresso]

Or they can do a promotional contest and give away 2,000 tickets.

hmmm let’s see

I really hope they don’t cancel the show. Why ruin it for the 8000 people who paid lots of money and are excited to see Céline just to avoid having an attendance of 60-70% (on 3rd night!!!)? The people who ARE going to the show are more important than those who aren’t. Also, we already know how much Céline hates cancelling shows, she definitely won’t let 8000+ fans down for no real reason.

yeah, like buy a copy of Courage and you will get a free ticket that would boost her cd sells as well! lol #LetsMakeCourageNr1Again! Edited January 25, 2020 at 03:22 PM by ryba

Yeah! That is so not Céline... maybe “others” but not céline

 

I’m sure that these numbers for this date will improve and again last minute buyers

At the end of the day, its the promoters/the venues/ or her teams call. If the sales remain poor they’re likely to cancel it.

 

1) to claim insurance and save wasted money for a half empty arena

 

2) to save her rep and avoid a Mariah-like, Christina-like article saying the show was a flop

 

3) So she doesnt end up disappointed seeing said half empty arena

 

Upon further checks it seems the total available tickets sits at 5,918, and when i last checked before Christmas it sat at 6,072... so not very good in terms of late sales either. I mean entire blocks are completely full with only a few back blocks and the front 3 floor sections sold out.

 

I hate to say it but the 3rd show in terms of sales is disappointing, but hey, the 3rd show and she already doing multiple other shows in the NYC/NJ area.

[ivo]

They can always use a half of the Arena and the rest will be blocked. We will see. She was used to seint empty arena’s in Germany during TCWT, that was awful.

 

How are the sales of Amsterdam?

[jpatdeleon09]

Again! Let’s see

One of the 3 dates is completely sold out and the other 2 are very close to being sold out

[RosieBarron]

At the end of the day they must have sold thousands of tickets for the show even if there are still 5000 left. They can't just cancel it cause there are some empty seats.

I honestly dont think they will have any problem getting the third shows numbers normal by time it comes around. But 3 shows there with 1 in chicago is weird. Especially when she did three or four cities in ohio. Edited January 25, 2020 at 08:34 PM by Tyler1991

[hugo020]

They won’t cancel the show for sure. Some tickets will sell and then promoter will do fill-in. Meaning give free tickets to business partner.

 

It happened in Montreal during 2016 tour. Last shows had empty sections so Evenko (promoter) sent and email to all its employees who could buy up to 10 tickets for 20$.

 

Lot’s of artists do it. Beyonce & Jay-Z did it a lot for their On The Run Tour ll

Yeah. She did Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Louisville, KY which is an hour and a half drive from Cincy.

Hi friends !

Do you think Céline is gonna be going back to Vegas maybe in 2022/2023?

I hope her come back in the city so much

I'm not sure I would like Céline to return to Vegas but I do think it is quite likely. Let's not forget that the video made to promote this world tour is called "Ciao for now Las Vegas". The key words being "for now". Moreover, she is allegedly building a house in a place called "The Summit"? which is in Vegas so I don't think she plans on abandoning the city anytime soon.

 

Now, the reasons why I wouldn't consider it ideal. I understand that for some time it was the most convenient option (still performing while raising young kids or René being sick) but that is no longer the case. I hope she goes back to making albums more frequently and doing more varied, creative tours/shows. I wouldn't mind her going back to the "album followed by tour" schedule. I feel like she's much more exciting, alive and fresh while on tour. Even her voice is stronger and, on top of that, she's more exposed to the world and accessible when she's not "locked up". It's crazy that she has to tell her audiences "I can't believe it's been ten/twenty years since we were last here". I really hope Céline does look into that and does do something about it. Vegas is a very nice option for performers but Céline has definitely had enough of it.

 

My long-term dream/vision for Céline's career is for her to still be very successful as a performer decades from now (like Cher or Elton) and not to Fade Away like Mariah, Christina or Barbra.

Vegas would be fine for short residencies like others do, but I prefer Céline on tour. I do think the mini tours worked very well.
