Garou 😛

And then he can join her for “Sous le vent”!

Guys, i need to share that with you... 

Like roughly half the planet, I was looking for tickets, and during that search I got in touch with Jérôme. We exchanged quite a few messages about our respective ticket hunts, and as we kept talking, we realized that we are cousins. My father was his mother’s brother.

Isn’t that unbelivable ? Among her many talents, Céline clearly has a gift for bringing families together… 

Wow that’s incredible!  Great story!

I saw the subject line as "A Special Moment..." and thought "OH BOY! Maybe they're doing more updates... and this is how thrilled Celine is to be doing 16 sold out..." -opens email- "and it's the Eiffel Tower lightshow." Really Team Celine? 🤦‍♂️

I had the same thought. Haha

I think it would be great if they had Charlotte Cardin as her opening act.  She’s from Quebec, she’s a huge fan and she’s amazing.

[valeriociarrocchi]

I hope she sings more song from Encore Un Soir: not vocally demanding but deeply meaningful.

Toutes Ces Choses would be a perfect finale.

[Mlaroche2711]

I hope we get A New Day has come, unlikely but it’s such a good song, also id love to hear memoirs d’abraham

I was thinking of someone more international just like her. Or Adele even. But idk both seem very unlikely.

Considering that this has been framed as a greatest hits concert, I am expecting the following songs to be featured for sure:

1. Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore
2. Je Sais Pas
3. S'il Suffisait D'aimer
4. Un Garcon Pas Comme Les Autres (Ziggy)
5. Encore Un Soir
6. My Heart Will Go On
7. The Power Of Love
8. I Am Alive
9. It's All Coming Back To Me Now
10. Because You Loved Me

And then maybe J'irai Ou Tu Iras, On Ne Change Pas, Destin, L'amour Existe Encore, Tout L'or Des Hommes, Immensite, Parler A Mon Pere, Beauty and the Beast, Sous Le Vent...

And of course the three new French songs if Le Parisien is correct.

I believe the show will last for 120 minutes or so, taking into account standing ovations and speeches. I also think this will be the most visually ambitious tour since TCWT. I see vibrant colors and dancers too! Nothing like the minimalistic shows she did in 2016 and 2017 in France. Do not get me wrong, these were great. But this one will be BIG!

Let's see!

This! I always hated BATB but I understand its appeal. 

I’ve been listening a lot to SSD (the album) lately and Je chanterai would be a perfect opener given Celine’s moment. I’d expect one or another hidden gem to be unearthed as she’s done in past tours, maybe it’s time for Contre nature to see the light of day.

But as other have already said, I’ll be happy regardless of any personal desires. It’s gonna be my first time seeing her live!

I feel that since it’s her return to the stage they will focus on her stage presence, her voice and less on big theatrics and dancers. That said, I like the idea of dancer as I did enjoy them in A New Day and during TCWT.

    of course some may part of medleys / shortened but my guess is those 

[anewdayhascome]

As long as there are no random covers and unnecessary duets, I am fine. She should really focus on her songs. We cannot count on never or rarely performed songs though.

 

Nmj, you nailed it with the setlist. I hope BATB and ABM are no longer there. They are really not indispensible. And I truly pray LCMM/RDMH will be gone but most likely not... This has been so painful.

 

I like that you remembered about ANDHC❤️ They should really include something more than just IA post 2002 and ANDHC (just as IA) a perfect message. We have been really waiting for so long...

 

When it comes to the French repertoire, I would say TLDH and JNVOP still stand a chance but other than that I will be very surprised. Though I would love something older like CNQR or DMQS.

I would never miss BATB, ABM, LCMM or RDMH ever again if they aren’t in anymore shows…

I think she’ll rest BATB and ABM has to be rested in my opinion because too many eyes will be watching for lip-synching after her SPS diagnosis especially in this first tour, it would be smart to not even give anyone room to talk there. 

I think ANDHC deserves its spot to be performed live, ballad or radio remix is fine by me either one.

I do think “Courage” will be there… because she never had a chance to complete a European leg of that tour.

The only other English songs that MIGHT stand a chance to be included in my opinion are TC and LMBTL  but I’d say a slim chance so I didn’t include them and I wouldn’t miss them TBH. Maybe IDAN might stand a chance too.  
 

LCMM/RDMH have been played to death and I hope are gone but I wouldn’t bet on it, she seems to think those are only on uptempo English non hits that people know ANDHC and IDAN are superior by miles. 
 

But I’m with you… I sincerely hope there are no random cover songs. The setlist is already gonna most likely contain less songs and needs both English and French hits as advertised already so we don’t need random prince or John Farnham tributes. But I worry if they are included they’ll come at the expense of English songs like TTWII, ANDHC and IDAN. If that’s the case please no! 

[Zoespack]

I want Jean-Jacques Goldman on opening night !! Even if he can’t sing any longer (?), he can play guitar. For Céline, he has to come ! What a symbol of enduring friendship and loyalty it would be, by two of the most beloved personnalities because of their kindness and modesty beyond their immense talent.

 🙏

[anewdionhascome]

She needs to retire RDMH and LCMM already and replaced them with gems from her discography shes never performed live before..

[MLowery855]

I had tickets to 3 different nights of the 2021 Vegas residency that never happened, and tickets for the CWT in Denver that also never happened. When she revealed her diagnosis, I was skeptical that we'd ever see her on stage again. But when she said in the documentary "If I can't run, I'll walk.. if I can't walk, I'll crawl" I knew she would be back, and somehow I had to be there. I knew I never had a chance with Ticketmaster or AXS, so I bought prestige package tickets from Event Travel last week. 

Look forward to being under the same roof with some of you on September 12.. and 16th. 

[Balao]

What bothers me is that tickets can’t be transferred. Something as ordinary as buying a ticket for someone else—a friend or a family member—should be straightforward and explicitly allowed, yet it isn’t. And on top of that, there’s no clear warning about this at the time of purchase.

The person who buys the tickets has to remain the primary ticket holder and can only transfer the additional tickets. But what happens if the buyer doesn't want to attend the show? Or if he purchased two sets of two tickets for the same date? He obviously can’t be in two places at once, so he's forced to transfer one pair.

The workaround seems to be logging into my Ticketmaster account (using my supposedly private password) on the phone of the person attending the concert—in this case, my aunt—so the tickets can be added to Fan Wallet. I’ll have to do the same for my father, but since I rarely see him, I’ll need to give him my “secret” password over the phone so he can log in and potentially access all my other tickets as well.

I mean, it’s my father—I trust him—but still! It feels questionable, and I even wonder whether it’s legal. Not what I’m doing, but the fact that there’s no simple way to transfer tickets. Am I missing something, or have you found a better solution?

[MM22IL]

Now that all ticket sales are over, my only hope is to buy through resale.

When does Ticketmaster usually start listing resale tickets from people who changed their minds and won’t attend ?
Will these tickets suddenly appear on the official sales page that is currently sold out? (Where there are no tickets right now - will tickets just suddenly show up for sale? )

Also, I noticed that on the Ticketmaster sales page there is only a venue map, without a detailed seating chart showing which seats are available or taken.
Once resale tickets are listed, will we be able to see their exact location in the venue?

Good question! I’m considering the same option. I don’t have much experience but it seems usually there is no fixed date for resale tickets as they appear when people decide to list them, so the site needs to be checked regularly.

I would definitely avoid buying from random people on social media. Official Ticketmaster resale is much safer, especially with mobile/barcode tickets, as transfers often need to happen inside the system.

I personally don’t believe they will be checking the name on the tickets at the venue. It will simply be too much work and they can’t turn people away because the tickets are in a friends/relations name. Many concerts and events come with the warning about the name and I’ve never once seen it enforced. 

Besides that; I emailed Fnac about it as I was curious and they told me info on how to transfer would be sent out when the tickets become available. So it seems it will be an option. Ticketmaster will more than likely allow transfer also and they allow all tickets to be transferred (not leaving one for the purchaser).

I mean, visually, the Courage tour was pretty ambitious too—I’d even go as far as saying it was the most beautiful show ever as far as stage visuals and lighting are concerned.

[Céline RO]

As for the setlist, I really don’t see BATB going away. It was even part of her TikTok series, saying how proud she is to have that classic and how she’s stuck with it for the rest of her life but it’s amazing every time she sings it. When it comes to LCMM, I know a lot of you are tired of that song, but the message really fits this time—this whole comeback is the embodiment of nothing being impossible when you truly believe.

Totally agree! And with this being said, the same goes for: Dans Un Autre Monde, Terre, Tous Les Blues Sont Ecrit Pour Toi, Destin, À Vous, Qui Peut Vivre Sans Amour and Immensité. I really hope Céline will sing more rare/ long time not performed songs from her French repertoire! There are so many amazing songs, it's a shame only these keep coming back.

[jpatdeleon09]

While waiting for the concert, just reminding everyone that Celine will release a new song this coming April 17, this friday.

[jpatdeleon09]

I hope she sings now “I Love You”, this one needs to be part of the setlist

I wanted to say that TC was a world tour, and it doesn't make sense to make such a big product for 16 concerts. But then I remember Adele's residence in Berlin, and changed my mind. I hope it will be stunning!

You mean her Munich shows in 2024. This year Adele will tour Europe with shows in Berlin and Munich.

And this residency will gross as much as a world tour. So why not?
