Has anyone thought about what the setlist is going to look like?

Pretty sure its gonna be a greatest hits show + maybe 1-2 new songs from the new french album

[CelineDionFreak]

If I can actually manage to get tickets, I’m gonna be thrilled whatever show she does. I’ve never seen her in French, only 2 English shows. So this is gonna be a great time if I can swing this!! 

[RosieBarron]

That is my slight concern is how much will they do to ensure actual fans get tickets including those who had tickets to cancelled shows. I worry a lot of us here will end up disappointed. I hope I am wrong and those why try and get tickets are successful. It would certainly be amazing to see her again and her French shows are better, more authentically her so I am very happy with Paris as the venue.

[No1IrishFan]

I’d really hope there’s something for the fans who had their EU Courage shows cancelled. Even more need cause these shows are Paris. If she was starting in the US I could understand loads of EU fans not making the trip but this is so convenient! Hard to know what they’ll do. They might have forgotten either 😂

Seeing all these videos and memes of people getting prepared to get tickets for a Celine concert is crazy. Also got the feeling that a lot younger people are interested now. Funny how times have changed, she used to be for the older generation and you wasnt out and proud a Celine fan but since her Celinenaissance, and her being truly herself things has shifted.

I am very interested to see what goes on here, with younger  fans when she comes back out again properly in Paris, and whether there will be an enormous new bunch or not. It would be crazy  if there's a whole new lot screaming away and older fans saying hey we were here first let us at her 😄

Like the competition is harder for older fans, tickets etc but I'd prefer a big Celinenaissance to continue 

[Dancing_Queen]

If she's really doing 10 shows in a huge venue, I am sure we will all be able to get tickets (if willing/able to pay big prices for it). Opening night ticket sales will be something else though, it'll be a massacre for sure 😫 

I've been hoping they would do something for big fans as well, but I'm not holding my breath...

'Je Chanterai' would be such an amazing opening song for this tour. Even acapella. ❤️

Et quand nous aurons fait le tour de nos ultimes projets
Quand nous apprendrons a aimer nos echecs et nos regrets
Quand nous en serons a ouvrir nos livres de souvenirs
Je chanterai, je chanterai, je chanterai, je chanterai toujours...

I thought exactly the same thing !!! 

[Nmj]

I may sound like a broken record… but I feel the social media team has dropped the ball after the Paris Easter posts. They should’ve waited a bit longer in the week before the poster drop in Paris if they were just gonna wait a full week quietly… keep the buzz going, and keep the Easter eggs coming.

My only concern is that this is possibly the most demand she has ever been in for concert tickets. The anticipation, the media frenzy, renewed interest in her career, and the whole “come back” nature of it all play a massive part. If we think of the Courage Tour where there were 6 dates at La Defense announced, they all sold out in less than 3 hours- I remember people on here not being able to get any- and that was with her going to plenty of other places all over the US, Canada, and Europe. So with this, as of now, being the *only* scheduled appearance after a 6 year absence and all the aforementioned reasons, I really do think it’s going to be absolute hell trying to get a ticket for any date. .

Like with how she did in 2016 with 3h20.  Would be lovely.

How did some people managed to not get any tickets with so many dates ?

Because for Celine, Paris is a money making, ticket printing machine. People will travel not just from other areas of France, but from all over Europe and the US to experience a French show in Paris. She did 9 dates at Bercy in 2016 and easily could’ve added 5 more without issue; even in 2017 when she performed in 4 other french cities in stadiums, people complained that there were only 4 shows and how they were unable to get tickets. The problem would be the exact same in Montreal. Those two cities are goldmines. 

[Nmj]

Well Celine’s team and Shakira’s team almost did an identical job… off topic a bit, but look at Shakira residency in Spain, the start and end dates are nearly identical to what we are expecting to hear Monday from Celine, even the number of shows… all this to say, celine with sps has a similar workload to Shakira right now hopefully tells us how much better her health is 🙏🏽

Exactly, there is always tickets, even at the last minutes. For the 2 last shows in Montréal in 2016, Evenko sold 10$ tickets to its employees because lots of tickets were remaining unsold. They just want to create the feeling of demand to justify crazy prices/dynamic pricing the Day of the sale

Honestly I don’t think young people care. My children and friends 18 and 23, 25 really don’t care.  Well I have to say that everyone around me ( family friends and work ) are not interested at all in Celine 🤣

I struggled to get tickets for the Courage tour in Paris at the same venue even with all the shows in other places which were scheduled. Just think now this is the only place you can see her and there are only 10 shows. Plus the added interest from the Olympics and her illness The demand for tickets will be insane.

I would love that one! She has so many gems that would be so beautiful live. I hope she brings back Je Ne Vous Oublie Pas. The few times I saw her perform and everyone sing along.😍

Vegas is a snoozefest. If you lucky you have some great people around you. But if your not it's the rich people's night out who think you shouldn't show any enthusiasm. It became better with the later residencies though.

I once sat next to a guy who got excited when she started to sing I've Got The World On A String, the rest of the show he was so bored I felt sorry for him. 🤣😬

I believe that for the Courage tour, the 6 La Défense dates sold out in under 90 minutes, setting a new record for the venue. Her only other show scheduled in France, at the Vieilles Charrues festival (about 54,000 tickets), sold out in 9 minutes if I remember correctly.

Has anyone thought about what the setlist is going to look like? This is what I came up with:

1. La diva / Hymn to the Sea Medley (Orchestral overture)
2. My Heart Will Go On
3. The Power of Love
4. La Vie en rose
5. Dans un autre monde
6. Destin
7. Le ballet (Instrumental interlude)
8. Des mots qui sonnent
9. J'irai où tu iras
10. Qui peut vivre sans amour
11. Je sais pas
12. Ziggy
13. Because You Loved Me
14. Encore un soir
15. S'il suffisait d'aimer
16. J'attendais (Video interlude)
17. L'amour existe encore
18. On ne change pas
19. Love Again
20. Early Hits Acoustic Medley: Fais ce que tu voudras / Elle / Tellement j'ai d'amour pour toi / Délivre-moi / Je danse dans ma tête
21. Le blues du businessman
22. All By Myself
23. Ce n'était qu'un rêve (Orchestral interlude)

Encore:

1. Pour que tu m'aimes encore
2. Hymne à l'amour

I tried to make it somewhat realistic but also include some of my personal faves she doesn't do live very often

I don’t know, I actually don’t think the ratio of French to English will differ this greatly, with it being billed as a 10 show residency after a much publicised health battle & the international interest in her, I think they picked Paris obviously because of her connection to France but also because of its central location to all, I think they’ll be mindful that fans from across the globe will want to be there. I would imagine something like 10 English, 12 French with an additional 3 new tracks if she is releasing new French material as rumoured.

I agree with you on that. I think the post with pictures of her in Paris could have been a bit later in the week, and by now maybe some in studio pictures or whatever to keep the rumors going! I would have loved that anticipation.

Indeed. According to this post back in those days, more than 200000 tickets sold out in just 90 minutes...

I remember ppl standing outside for Hrs waiting to get tickets ,,  The question I have is  if they say tickets going on sale @ 10.00 am , does that mean for Eu time zone's  or for Us here in the states ,, what would be the best time for US here in the states  to get tickets 

[nuts2you]

I also wonder if the RH will be buying tickets for the first few row's  like they used to do

They would specify, and it would most likely be local time (i.e. France).
