16 concert residency at La Defense Arena in Paris in September/October 2026

[isurrender]

At this stage, will any hardcore fan attend any show? 😁

This is so messed up and unfair. And sad. 

Curious to know if anyone on this board will get an access? 

The odds are against us. 

Still waiting for TC to advise me before anyone about the tour. 🤣

[donpi86]

Do you think the commande number on the pre-sale is the number of people is registered, because I just do it and I am at 3.3 million.... so presale is going to be like national lottery.. hahaha

She has two young kids now and is married so she would no longer travel 

Well Dee is not really that great tbh … when Celine ever goes back to residency in Vegas she outta let Zhane style her again and let Dee learn a bit and save her for traveling… anyways lol

It's been wonderful in Paris. I turned on the radio this morning and they were talking about it, posters are showing up all over the city, my fiance was at a political event yesterday and everyone was talking about it - this is absolutely an event 

You got there just in time! Enjoy! 

[Shaun]

Really makes me miss the days of paid TeamCeline where your $25 a year got you guaranteed concert tickets……….and a wallpaper 🤣

[Shamrock_1982]

Curious to know what the next social media post will be.

Been in London today and also seen no posters that were rumoured in all the major parts of the city…

 

[EmiOnyx]

I remember pre-sales being more confidential. Someone said on Tiktok 90% of tickets are being sold at the pre-sale, I wonder if it's true...

[ivo]

I registered for the presale on the official site and on the site of Ticketmaster. Am I ruled out now, because it is the same name and credit card?

Light show on the Eiffel Tower

I don't think so since it's not the same website

Sorry if this was explained earlier already, can someone tell me how they made the announcement at the Eiffel tower? I see video clips of the light show with her songs, and I am curious if they did the light show prior to the announcement or as a after party.  Thanks!

This is the translation of an article in "Paris Match" (https://www.parismatch.com/culture/musique/le-retour-de-celine-dion-officialise-sur-la-tour-eiffel-266778) describing that moment:
"On the terrace of Café de l'Homme @ the Trocadéro esplanade 300 media, influencers, and artists were invited to attend the most anticipated launch of the year. From 7:30 pm, the AEG team, the producer of the Paris concerts, waited patiently. So did part of the French team from Sony Music, the singer's long-time label. Among the crowd were Ycare , Natasha St-Pier, Paul de Saint-Sernin , Jain, Miss France , Mosimann , and Thomas Joly, who accepted the invitation. At 8:50 p.m., a countdown appeared on screens set up for the occasion, facing the Eiffel Tower. Ten minutes later, as "Hymne à l'amour" and then "I'm Alive" played, the "Iron Lady" lit up. For twelve minutes, the small gathering watched a sound and light show featuring the hits of the Quebec diva. It concluded with the message "Paris, I'm ready," which was then repeated in multiple languages. Before finally, Céline Dion appeared. "As you know, it's my birthday. And this time, I wanted to wish myself a happy birthday.""

I don't like the new pics. And it's not the photoshop, black and white colour or the bun (which I will repeat I will take over any wig).

 

It's elegant, yes, but it's kind of serious/sad. I was hoping for some smile? I miss the energy that she had in the videos 

 

I am so scared about the tickets. 1 million and it's only the presale signups and only after 1 day. The general sale ... 🤯 Will we make it to one at least?

And they just posted again the link for presale 

they don’t want to sell any tickets after presale so they can add new dates.

No don't think it is. If so I would be 2 million and something and I did it straight away last night.

They probably won't add new dates, the Paris Defense Arena is booked for two months

Do we even know what percentage of all tickets will be sold at pre-sale? I have not registered yet cause I want to attend with a friend. Thing is, what happens if only one of us gets a ticket through pre-sale? The other might not even get the chance to attend. I am not sure what to do, any advice is welcome!

There is always a possibility they could actually launch the shows a couple of weeks earlier…last  week of August/1st week of September… I would feel bad for anybody who already bought opening night if they added shows before hand.

Believe me when I say, the ONLY thing that will stop Celine from adding shows to this Paris Residency would be (god forbid) her health. The Demand is insane!

ONE MILLION?!??! Good god. Way to go Celine. I need to go find a lot more friends and family to help here...

I think you should register. I read that you can buy multiple tickets during presale. (Up to 6?)

Yes she’s taking credit on her Instagram page Annie Horth is back… I wonder why, I actually prefer Annie tbh! But I know law was supposed to be behind the Vegas shows so I wonder if he was busy?

Either way, good to have Annie back.

I think the whole Vegas idea that was supposed to be Resorts World with Law and everything got scrapped. Starting from scratch.

[Abodi2002]

Yeah seems Vegas won't be happening for awhile. I know that was the plan before the Courage tour even ended. 
Part of me thinks she just wanted to scrap those plans all together. Plans made before her SPS was fully known. A more fresh start so to speak. 

Probably won't realistically be able to see her but I'm excited for her coming back! 

It's really a shame about the ticket situation though. I'm hoping we see more of her before the concerts begin, but I'm not really expecting it. Does she look happier in the videos she posted yesterday? She sounds happier for sure! But she always sounds better when she's really there with the audience

They would never do that imo. I checked the Paris Defense Arena website and the next show after Celine is on October 31 so she could actually add 4 shows

[takeachance]

Can anyone explain the presale thing ? I don’t get it , I can only go to one show where the date suits , and would hope to buy two tickets for that date ??? 

[LukeD]

1m+ registrations less than 24 hours after the announcement is nothing short of impressive. Even by superstar standards. What a legend she is!

Esto es tan grave e injusto. Y triste.

¿Tengo curiosidad por saber si alguien en este foro podrá acceder a algo?

Las probabilidades están en nuestra contra.

Sigo esperando que TC me avise antes que nadie sobre la gira. 🤣

Something could have been done if we had called Sony Music and proposed that we operate as an official club (I’ve mentioned this several times already). I know they allow it; it has been done with Warner Music.

It should have been done sooner yes.

At this rate with 1 million now the sales will be insane. What annoys me is that they don't have a seating map out already and prices for the VIP sections. I wonder when those will go on sale.
