They always seem to get perks it seems.  Great for them, but the part that annoys me is where it says they were given tickets as a gesture for their loyalty.  Ummm many of us have been loyal since the 80’s or 90’s and have stood behind her through it all.  I don’t expect anything from an artist for being loyal but when an article says some were given tickets for their loyalty, it makes it feel like some fans are more important than others. 

Kind of a bummer that if you just search 'celine dion fan club' or somesuch, this forum shows up immediately alongside the red heads. About as straightforward to get in touch with Koolan/Bellamy as the redheads, but of course they're not even trying. 

Anyway, now that we're reminiscing about 'OG' fan communities – I really miss celinesmusic and rhapsodion, those sites were early internet Celine perfection for me lol.

Somehow the Red Heads made a name for themselves and got into the media. They've done a great job. If we could somehow get it together here and have few very driven spokespeople, we could be a big, well-known group.  Céline dans deserve a better name than the red heads.  No disrespect to them, but a simple red cap / casquette rouge is a bit blah as a name

We need a snazzy name. TREE HUGGERS!

I never understood that reference tbh, seems a bit random

Don’t talk to me about The Red Heads. I have more than a lot to say on them, going back years. 

I'm curious now, spill the tea ! 😂

With all the sales for tickets said and done, we now come to the hardest part of the whole process; waiting 5 months for the first show lol

Hello all,

I used to be a member here but i have not logged on ever since the Courage concert that i bought for Switzerland was cancelled. My hotmail email has long since been obsolete.

Anyway, i just want to check with everyone who has experience with Stubhub website?

I bought my Paris 2026 tickets for €246.56 at Section 406. The website said "Your tickets will be transferred to either your email address: x@gmail.com, or directly via the mobile phone number that was provided at the time of purchase: xx by concert date". 

Which means i will not know i get the tickets until the very last hour on the day of the concert. Not too mention money spent on flight and accommodation.  

I'm scared if the website is a scam? Any thoughts or comments?

[Alex_Incognito]

I've never had issues with stub hub.  They have to be digitally transferred so I don't think you'd run into a problem.

If the rumors are correct, we are getting 2 or maybe 3 singles before the tour. Plus, who knows? Maybe music videos? And maybe some more social media content.

If that is the case, I really do not mind waiting!

Guys, I've been thinking about a thing...what if these new shows in Paris will be what her new Vegas residency in 2021 had to be like?

Maybe they "recycled" some ideas: stage, setlist, outfits that were already prepared by the time it was canceled. What do you think?

I think they’ve given up on social media content… nothing posted since the announcement… it was all to gain followers for the announcement .

I hope I don’t seem unreasonable saying this, and I know because I have a ticket for Paris it seems easy for me to say- but the fact that 9 million people had pre-registered, and that at one point nearly 2 million people were in the queue on the morning of the General Sale, the simple fact is many hundreds of thousands / millions of people are very disappointed because there were only 460,000 tickets available. Yes there were screw ups with Ticketmaster etc, but there’s no need to say ‘genuine fans were shafted’…supply over demand…probably for the first time in Celine’s history, there is insane demand for tickets and I don’t think it’s fair to say ‘real fans lost out’. If there’s 2 million people in the queue for a few thousand tickets on general sale morning then the chances of securing one simply aren’t great. There’s no need to say there was a breakdown in the system…

HOWEVER- this is the first time that we, as Celine fans were not given the advantage by being part of an actual pre-sale, like we had always been with TeamCeline, when it was an actual real thing

Pretium packs seem available on La Défense Arena !

I really don’t think so. Why would they do that? It’s not like they don’t have the time to put together a whole new show, which I’m sure is an exciting process for Céline.

More importantly, there are new people in charge now. The show is designed by Willo Perron who is coming with his own vision and does not know or care about what the scrapped Vegas show was, while Annie Horth is now doing the outfits.

Setlist wise, I’m sure there will be A LOT more French material in this new show, plus her voice now should allow her much more freedom when choosing what songs to sing.

Fresh start.

Anyone else think the show should open up with her in a bathtub shaving her legs singing "Misled?"

To me, there is no way they announced a series of vids where Celine will be talking about her songs only to give up now. Especially since the followers went up! Besides, the reaction videos went viral. I am sure she will get back to it later this year, right now the Celine brand is hot because of the tour and will remain that way once the single is released. When things cool down a bit, she will get back to social media engagement, mark my words.

Better than opening with 'Dans Un Autre Monde'! 😅

I do look forward to whatever new 'art form' she'll bring us! She's always been an innovator, and she has to now more than ever before because, let's be honest, we're not getting ABM... I just hope that innovation leans more AND/cirque du soleil and less... Elie Saab runway 🥴

[Zoespack]

What happened ? The forum server seemed to be down just after I posted. I was able to buy a premium pack for sept. 12 about 45 mn ago on La Defense Arena website. All seems legit : my account existed on the site (with the right infos), I received the confirmation mail and the ticket is in my Fan Wallet app !

prices (ouch !) : from 850 to 1500€

It's just amazing how from one to another we can love or hate different things.  Anything Cirque puts me to sleep. I can't stand humans pretending they are a bird, the painted white man, the bell hop.  It's like Jeff Koons art coming to life.

Lol i'll grant you that for sure.. but i'm just hoping her workaround will be more creative than... lip syncing 😬 I'm fine with it, but I would take misled bathtub instead

My favorite French song of hers, I hope she does!

[DoronTam]

I saw the premium tickets on La Defense site but the tickets are regular price (either €200 or €300) and then the hospitality is like €600 all the way to €1100. It’s insane and the ticket you get isn’t great. I went all the way to the end and the most expensive one was in row 16

Where did you see the 300€ tickets ? Hospitality starts at 850€.

Yes, I agree. I think the fact that they have Willo Perron signals that they're doing a whole new kind of mise-en-scène. And I think the posters around Paris with song titles were a clear idea of the kind of stuff to expect in the setlist. I'm wondering how long the show will be; I am thinking it'll be short to keep things reasonable for her stamina. At some point when the rumors started of a comeback, people were saying 70 minutes or something like that.

As for all the actual details of what the show will be like, this is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but I honestly don't even care... Just a couple years ago, we were at "If I can't run, I'll walk. And if I can't walk, I'll crawl", so basically I'm going to be completely stoked to just watch her walk into the spotlight on her own two feet standing tall. If she does nothing but that and then we give her a standing ovation for the rest of the time, that would be fine with me. I don't care if she lips everything, or if she just sits in a chair in her cozy socks and tells us stories and jokes, or if she does a fashion show catwalk while we all do karaoke to her greatest hits... 😂 

I'm not going to this the way I normally go to shows; I'm going to this like a kind of pilgrimage. She has nothing to prove to me. I just want to see her and for us to give *her* that moment. I want everything to be about her having fun and a nice moment with the public that she's missed so much. I want her to get what she's wanted for so long now. It's time for us to give her some apples, as far as I'm concerned. 🥹

When you click through you see the ticket is €200 and the hospitality is €650…

[DoronTam]

The €1500 ticket is in row 16, which I didn’t think was worth it at this point.
