Courage World Tour - EU shows CANCELED

[Nmj]

Every country seems to have a different policy about concerts... no wonder why Team Celine can't announce anything yet.

 

If I was them I’d just say cancel the entire tour this whole thing is a MESS.

The safety of people needs to come first, and it’s too if-y.

Concert Giant AEG Offers Frustrated Fans a Refund

https://www.nytimes....et-refunds.html

 

AEG Presents, Live Nation’s biggest rival, plans to start a 30-day window on May 1 for fans to request refunds for shows that have been rescheduled.

 

According to a document that AEG circulated to talent agents this week, the refunds will be offered for concerts that were postponed once the pandemic shut down the concert world last month, and have been given new dates.

 

On May 1, fans will have 30 days to request refunds for shows that have already been rescheduled. After May 1, they will get 30 days from the time new dates are announced.

 

AEG, which is owned by the billionaire investor Philip F. Anschutz, puts on tours by stars like Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Celine Dion, and also owns regional concert promoters like Goldenvoice in Los Angeles, which organizes the Coachella festival.

Isn't it we here in Sweden who has "the most open society"? And we here have a maximum of 50 people for an event... Those rules are til the year ends or if the authorities change the rules before that. Céline's concert is supposed to be in august. So I don't get why they still hope to have concerts and events this summer.

Céline always says that it’s incredibly hard to cancel one show. She would never cancel 70+ shows at once! We just have to wait and see.

[couldawouldashoulda]

Also, remember, it’s not up to Celine to cancel in these circumstances. She’s fine and healthy - she’s not canceling because of anything to do with her. It’s up to the government of whatever country in which she’s going to perform to say that all gatherings over so-many-people are canceled until such-and-such time. And it’s not Celine herself who will cancel/postpone the shows. The government will cancel the shows forcing AEG to talk to both Celine and the venues that aren’t allowed to hold her concerts to figure out both parties schedules and re-schedule the shows for another date.

Yes, I understand. What I meant was that Céline/her team/AEG would not choose to simply cancel all of the remaining shows when they are not forced to by all the governments. They will only postpone/cancel the ones that absolutely must be postponed/canceled.

[rfkavanagh]

I should be on a plane to Vancouver right now to see her tonight and tomorrow.

I think they will cancel all the shows because it would be a logitical hell otherwise. In Holland there are newsitems about cancelling these big events until september at least. We will know officially next tuesday.

My point was exactly the opposite. They won’t cancel all the shows, despite it being a logistical hell. They would make an effort.

I just saw this on TM website, I do have a question thought if you had a ticket for one of her concerts can you still use that ticket for the new date if and when that maybe

As a ticket holder for the Pittsburgh show, the answer is YES. Tickets for the original date will be honored for the rescheduled date.

I think they will announce this week the status of tour

[nuts2you]

I have a question .Is she still getting paid , even though there are NO shows, and I know its going to seem very weird for her not to be preforming during the summer , away from Vegas and the heat,

I agree it will be very strange. Still, in a way, I'm sure she is glad to be able to spend time with her kids seeing as she loves being a mom. I said in another post that perhaps this will bring up some very creative moments for Celine, or reflective moments on her career, that will result in something unexpected.

We don’t know for certain but generally, no. If the show doesn’t happen, the artist doesn’t get paid.

I wonder if we will here something from here team about the rest of the tour this week ,

[Shamrock_1982]

I’d say announcement coming this week definitely

Hopefully with new dates ,

[remykyes]

Tomorrow marks one month until the European leg of the tour. Per several European governments, concerts are being banned past the respective date of Celine’s concert(s). (Last one I heard was Germany). I would expect an announcement this week. What that will look like, who knows.

 

Best Case Scenario (Extremely unlikely): They have ALL rescheduled dates ready for the West Coast leg of the US AND postponement announcement and the rescheduled dates for the European leg.

 

Might Happen Scenario (Unlikely): They have rescheduled dates for West Coast US and postponement announcement of European leg.

 

Worst Case Scenario (What we’re probably gonna get): Postponement announcement of European leg.

 

General consensus is that concerts will be among the last things to reopen. My personal opinion is that states and countries are in no position right now to know when to even begin thinking of when arenas may reopen. I think we’re gonna be waiting for a while for new dates. And, as a ticket holder to the Pittsburgh show that has been rescheduled to November, I wouldn’t be surprised if that concert as well as the DC concert gets postponed again.

[SuperLove4Celine]

It’s time for Celine and company to step up, and do the right thing.

How is cancelling "the right thing"?

 

Doing so would leave thousands jobless. And I don't mean just musicians but riggers, tour truck drivers, arena ushers, cleaners, concessions staff, etc, etc. These are not high paying jobs. How do you think the thousands of employees at, say, Solotech, put food on the table?

Waiting a few months for a couple-hundred-dollars refund (or show) is one thing. Losing your entire livelihood is quite another.

I would agree with you, and I get postponing shows that are soon but the ones later in year sure covid will be over by then.

We would all want to know what is this supposed to mean. As this someone, Scielle is one of the most measured, structured, knowledgeable and nice member of this forum. 😅 while we couldn’t say the same of mister grumpy.

Unfortunately, no. Covid will not be over by then. If you haven’t read what the scientists/historians are saying - we’ve had 5 pandemics since recorded history. Each virus followed the same pattern - after it first came about (the first wave) and it lessened somewhat, it returned 6-12 months later for a second wave that was MUCH worse than the first one. (And the first one of this has already been pretty bad.)

 

The mayors of major cities such as Los Angeles and NYC (just in our country alone) have announced that there will be no large mass gatherings - not sports, not concerts, not parades for the remainder of this year to ensure public safety. There will no Celine Dion concerts (or any concerts) performed in 2020. They’ll have to push them back to 2021 and, since many people are out of work and desperately need their money, it’s time to start canceling concerts rather than postponing them so that the money can be returned to the people. This will have to happen slowly, a month at a time, as large companies don’t have the cash on hand to refund everyone all at once.

 

Even with that said, I still expect AEG to postpone rather than cancel because we’ve always known them to greedy fu&kers who will want to hold on to that money as long as possible.

[couldawouldashoulda]

To continue on from what I said above..in Jon Bon Jovi’s case, he was only having concerts from June 10 to July 18 so it’s easy for him to cancel everything at once - it’s not very many dates. Celine and AEG are looking at MANy more concerts than that they have to cancel. That’s why, IF they do that, it will be staggered so they make sure they don’t bankrupt themselves.
