God I can't believe I spent so much money in the matter of a few seconds!   But to be at the premiere!

Well flight is booked. Hotel is booked. Here we go 3rd October. Hope to see you there.

Yay! Oct 3rd also. See you there!

[Alex_Incognito]

When they start booking dates before the now premiere I will start to get angry.

 

Surely she's putting together a launch show at the Olympia just for CDF members.

Well, c'est fait.  I did the ridiculous and desperate thing and booked one of the hotel packages for the premiere.  For some reason I feel like I just have to be there for the premiere.

God that was expensive.  And the last thing I need is a night at a hotel in Paris when I will be living there, but it's right next to the venue.

Yay Alexis boo - so happy you got it too

So do we think Celine will speak in English as well as French between songs?

In Paris?  No chance. It's a concert in France.  If it's livestreamed maybe she'll do like she did for the Millennium concert and do a few spots where she thanks the Clintons and Mohammed Ali.

Probably not unless it’s filmed for a special on streaming then maybe.

Same here! Congratulations to you, see you at the premiere!! I got my tickets, I can’t explain with words how I’m feeling right now.

God i know i spent the last 24 hours throwing money out of my wallet, and i've been spending the 24hrs since budgeting, cancelling subscriptions, cancelling credit cards,.. eating instant ramen right now... 😂

i like to tell myself I was fiscally responsible (and that I've been saving for at least 6 years, and really, 30 years at this point) but buying TWO PRESTIGE TICKETS in one day was definitely on the margin 😅

[Balao]

I finally managed to access the website but no tickets are available. 😅

I've also started talking to chatgpt in french to make sure that by September I understand every single word she says/I paid for 😂

Hahaha join the club of spending a ridiculous amount of money just to be there.

It wasn't my intention as well, but with this shitshow of even being able to get acces to a presale it was a all or nothing moment.

It's bread and water the coming months.

[mirage]

Looks like a lot of forum people will be there on opening night. That's been a while since that happend.

We need a after party!

I think I'm going to wait until Friday before deciding to maybe splurge on a hotel package out of despair 😅.

I'd love that! Have never actually managed to meet anyone (except I did have a penpal, Kirstie you still here? <3) but you guys have obviously always been My People, especially in the desperately uncool days 😂

I actually have been trying to get chatgpt to talk to me in an extremely quick quebecois accent specifically 😂

Has anyone who was selected for tomorrow’s Ticketmaster’s sale received a link + code? I haven’t and they were supposed to be sent this afternoon…

Me neither 😔

[manu23]

Anyone here was selected for the Ticketmaster pre sale tomorrow? I was but I haven’t received the email with the code and link yet. Strange being so late in the evening.

I can see more of us are in the same situation with Ticketmaster. I wrote them under Celine’s post on Instagram, but I doubt they’ll answer there. They have no phone or email on their site.

It's in the help section. I even have a phone number but only for the Canadian website

Seems like the last time many of us got together was March of 2011.

Omg touché, here's what the bot just proposed 🤣

La bonne nouvelle, c’est que Céline Dion parle souvent assez clairement, et elle répète beaucoup d’idées (elle interagit avec le public, elle raconte des petites histoires, etc.). Donc on peut s’entraîner spécifiquement pour ça.

Si tu veux, on peut faire un truc utile : je peux te donner des phrases typiques qu’un chanteur dit sur scène, mais en version naturelle, comme en vrai concert.

Par exemple, elle pourrait dire quelque chose comme :
“J’suis tellement contente d’être ici avec vous ce soir…”
