Just a wild thought and probably way too far-fetched, but... Do you think they can cross-check the e-mail addresses for the pre-sale with the addresses of the mailing list they added a while back? I mean, probably 99% of the mailing list subscribers will be major fans 'deserving'  of a ticket. 

I want to believe I stand a chance 😊

Her shows were sold out in 2013/2016/2017 though. It’s not like if she manages this time around to sell out.
 

I just think she’s always been popular but the social media make it looks more tangible. 

Bercy attendance in 2013 : 73,333 / 73,437. Not full, ok ok almost full.

Doubtful, too much of a hassle, but here's to hoping lol. 

Also, to add to the set list ideas/hopes/dreams, I know these two songs aren't rare in her past performances, but it would be nice to hear Apprends-moi and Valse Adieu again, either in full or as a medley, as she did in 2016. Also, in a possible multilingual concert, Tous les blues sont écrits pour toi, would be a nice touch with a mix of English and French in one song.

I do feel like she will stick to her greatest hits but will change the arrangements to match the show's stylistic mood, something between medleys and stripped-down versions. I also hope she chats with the audience as she usually does, eventually calling herself out for talking too much! I miss listening to and watching her tell and act out random stories to us between sets. I really hope I get to witness this in person. 😌

Just putting my two cents but… how many of the 9 million are ACTUALLY going to try getting a ticket? How many just subscribed because of the hype? Since they opened the subscriptions for the whole world, I think a good part of the public won’t bother. (I want to convince myself so bad that it won’t be that hard to buy good seats)

I'm just worried about resellers buying up all the tickets faster than we fans can, especially those who sell at higher prices because of low supply and high demand.

She should’ve took Stade De France beginning from end of August to perform 3 times a week and then cross over half September to LDA when it’s getting colder. Everyone could knew the amount of people that want to see here is insane. And it’s only getting bigger ☺️ Hail to our queen. But what about the fans? I think she should’ve taught this over. 
 

Just like her concerts in the 90’s there: a stage in the middle and give 92k people per night the best memories they can get. Everyone knows that Céline sells out every artist. Even Taylor Swift who is mega in charge right now. 
 

I was checking yesterday evening what the biggest arena could be in Europe/UK. Principality Stadium could work for her with capacity, but it’s not international enough. 74k capacity. 
 

Perhaps she could’ve taken Camp Nou for even a bigger statement, 99k spectators a night, and call it BarCelina 😁😂 Oh my God, BarCelina could definitely be a hit since she never toured in Spain 😏

Solo dando mi opinión, pero... ¿cuántos de los 9 millones van a intentar REALMENTE conseguir una multa? ¿Cuántos se suscribieron solo por el bombo? Desde que abrieron las suscripciones para todo el mundo, creo que buena parte del público no se molestará. (Quiero convencerme tanto de que no será tan difícil comprar buenos asientos)

What worries me more is that, for example, there might be people who subscribed just to get access to ticket sales and then resell them to fans. It’s highly likely that disposable emails or extra accounts were created just to increase their chances.

Yep, it’s already starting with the scammers… shameful. In my email inbox, I have this mail...

It’s @adrientickets, I just saw him on TikTok. Some people commented that the arena is so big you can’t really see well, I’m hoping for a center stage.

According to tonight's edition of *Le Parisien*: 9 million registered voters. That's unprecedented—it's historic!

Yep, our queen is still relevant 😁

Is this bigger than Taylor Swift? The amount and speed of people rushing for tickets?

This presale more or less matches her total career attendance over 40+ years, that is all of her tours combined plus Vegas!

Someone needs to put together a few figures and comparisons like this and the comparison in population to places like Paris as mentioned above,  and give it to a news site, that would make for a satisfying news article for the general public to digest

In fact could someone plz do a list like  that and put it on this forum?

Or different ones could contribute

That would be possible. But when you read the FAQ on those sites it looks they done a few to prevent it, or make it a bit more difficult.  The tickets are mobile only, they have a delayed delivery which means they are actived and visible closer to the date. Same for reselling or transfer the tickets to someone else those will only be available closer to the date.

Which I guess also means that you should be a little carefull if you see tickets on sale in the coming weeks.

And is that supposed to mean to he’s reliable? I’ve heard of him but there’s no way this isn’t a scam.

I suppose the answer is that they could but the reality is that they won't. If they wanted Team Celine members to have any sort of priority they would have surely been up front about the process and how we were being given first access.

Which edition ?? Belgium ?? In France there is an old tv reality star that dies last week

It's the France Métropolitaine edition, no 4013 - 26 Mars au 1 Avril, 2026. I think the article is basically the same as the one in the Belgian edition. But bigger photo's.

So how did it jump from 3m registered to 9m? 

[Coffeegirl]

The more & more content I’m seeing on social media from people I’ve never once heard speak about Celine, the more & more my hopes of getting a ticket dwindle 🤣😩😭

Like I get the hype, I’ve got it for the past 30 years. 
 

I really wish they’d done a Team Celine presale first, for those who were signed up to the newsletter prior to the announcement. I’m going to feel pretty hard done by if jenny who learnt the chorus of IACBTMN through TikTok gets to be there whilst Im at home crying into my LTAL tour tshirt from Wembley 99.

Hello! A new modified map is available. Here, is the person's Twitter account.

You can see that they've added seats on the sides.

Yeah extra seats in the tribune/gallery however you call it... but there is still loads of empty spaces on the floor!

Empty spaces, what are we living for?
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
On and on
Does anybody know it's Céline tickets we are looking for?!?!!?!

The figures we kept getting, that eventually reached 3 million, were from the artist presale, the one with AXS. We never got the Ticketmaster numbers so I assume that one contributed the remaining 6 million (in two days mind you, it closed early).

I keep the possibility in my mind that I don’t get a ticket, but it would be sad. The people who’ve had ticket for the CWT should have been first for example.

Soooo true❤️ I know of many people barely interested who just thought “oh cool why not??” And entered the waiting list… obviously they don’t deserve to be there…

Or people who even ask... Is she gonna sing in English or French.... 🤬🤬🤬

[Dancing_Queen]

The Ticketmaster-list will be filled with bots for sure since you only had to provide an email-address. I hope they can effectively filter those out. But if the AXS-list (where you had to enter a valid credit card number) truly had 3 million people participating then that's just completely mind-blowing to me.
