She pours her heart and soul out on stage and fans want more and more (cue 'Ordinaire') "Mais ce métier-là, c'est dangereux" "Plus on en donne, plus l'monde en veut" It seems pathetic, I can understand that. I've experienced it a couple of times and yes there are people there that make it really pathetic. But most of it was always fun. The times she was high on adrenaline from a show and got hyped up from us and the other way around. And she knows when there are cameras around, she gives extra. In the end it's an image and a business she has to keep up. A long time ago 1 of her bodyguards told us, if it was up to them, we (the fans) would never see her leave the hotel on the front, but she wants to do it. 2 Quote
Dancing_Queen Posted August 22, 2026 at 09:17 AM Posted August 22, 2026 at 09:17 AM Exactly. I've waited at her hotel a couple of times as well, it's super fun. It's clear as day that she loves it, it's part of the performance for her. If she wanted to escape unseen, she definitely could/would. 2 Quote
AXG_16 Posted August 22, 2026 at 11:54 AM Posted August 22, 2026 at 11:54 AM I think things are going to speed up next week! We know that some of Céline’s musicians are performing at the Concert de la Francophonie in Québec on Tuesday evening (August 25). So far, we haven't seen any photos or videos showing that the stage setup has started inside Plénitude Arena. But considering the descriptions we’ve gotten like "spectacular production", "grandiose show with monumental architectural design", or "unprecedented stage production" building this stage is definitely going to take several days. Maybe load-in will finally start next week? 1 Quote

Will she stay overnight only after the show? Are all other guests people who only stay one night? Will Céline stay there the whole month and a half? What we do know for sure is that she will be staying at that hotel at least some of the time. On 8/22/2026 at 3:00 AM, mirage said: Since the hotel is blocked only for show dates my guess is that she will only use it as a quick start and stop, maybe some press related things and that's it. Don't forget the hotelscenes outside with the fans, in the end that's just free marketing. That's the only thing that makes sense to me on why only those dates are blocked. i think she rented out a a nice big place with lots of nature around it. So on her days off she really has days off and can enjoy outside without people. I’ve never heard the hotel suite is only booked on “show dates”? How would that make any sense? Unless she’s staying super far from the venue in a rented home.. but even so she’s going to be going back and forth every couple days… Saturday— show day(Hotel) Sunday—off (house?) Monday—off (house?) Tuesday— off (house?) Wednesday—show day (Hotel) Thursday—off (house?) Friday— show day (Hotel) Saturday— show day (Hotel) Leaving the hotel for just one day on Thursday just to be back tor two straight days makes little sense to me… how do we even know the hotel is booked for Celine? 1 Quote
anewdayhascome Posted August 22, 2026 at 05:46 PM Posted August 22, 2026 at 05:46 PM Is it possible to transfer tickets on ticketmaster or only on AXS? I don't see the option?

If Celine is staying possibly at rented home especially on non performance days… I’d assume her team/inner circle and band etc would need to keep the rooms for the entire time they are in Paris and not just show days.

That’s my thought tho- im not sure she is gonna stay out in the middle of nowhere and travel in for shows, I find it more likely that they’ll essentially book out an entire floor or two, and move her team in with her so they’re at her beck and call 24/7- especially her doctor, her PT, a vocal coach, and likely also the twins.

I agree I’m sure Dee and Annie and the entire band as well and her managers too. But the report someone said here was that the rooms were only booked for “show days”… if she’s doing only 3 days a week where would they all go for the 4 days with no shows? That’s why I’m not quite sure there’s truth to it. Either it’s booked through her final October date or something else is going on imo. Quote

I’m guessing for ease of security and/or perhaps even logistics, they’ve made it impossible to book to be in the hotel on show days, to make everyone’s lives (Celines, her teams, the hotel staffs) easier; far harder to get Celine out the front door securely and to the car if there’s like 6 people in a check-in queue who would need to be kicked out or put to the side while she comes down in the elevator. 3 Quote

Yes ! On performance days, there are many fans gathered outside the hotel, and this might interfere with the comfort of the hotel's other guests. So, specifically for those days, did they decide to reserve the hotel exclusively for Céline and her entourage? Quote

Her band is staying close to the arena in a hotel. And I think the rest of the team etc also stays there. Don't think people like Dee and Annie are staying at her place. They all get picked up and arrive by drivers most of the time. Edited August 22, 2026 at 07:41 PM by mirage 1 Quote
Shamrock_1982 Posted August 22, 2026 at 07:47 PM Posted August 22, 2026 at 07:47 PM When I interviewed Annie, she said in London for the TC tour they booked out a few rooms for wardrobe etc and she, Zhane & Zorba also stayed at the same hotel as Céline, which was the Dorchester at the time. 1 Quote
Nmj Posted August 22, 2026 at 07:53 PM Posted August 22, 2026 at 07:53 PM Then it’ll be interesting to see how they do it. Celine must be paying a pretty penny to hold entire rooms if her team isn’t staying in them. I’d assume that Celine is footing the bill for the teams stay wherever that may be. Quote

Why book rooms 3 days a week and then they are open for the other 4 days which are not show dates… it’s not like Céline and team will be traveling back to Vegas for 3 days every week. That’s the part that stumped me. Quote

Plus this run of concerts is expected to make well north of $150 million, and that’s just in ticket sales, so id imagine she’s being well compensated 🤣 1 Quote
Alex_Incognito Posted August 22, 2026 at 10:05 PM Posted August 22, 2026 at 10:05 PM I remember one of the times Céline performed at Bercy there was a show where some of her band mates were interviewed in the lobby of the Pullman Hotel in Bercy. So my guess is they'll be at a similar hotel in La Défense. 1 Quote "People pay 20-25 dollars to see you."- Céline Dion, 1990

No1IrishFan Posted August 23, 2026 at 08:34 AM Posted August 23, 2026 at 08:34 AM I ordered 3 Celine T-shirts from the boutique on her website on Aug 7th. Want to wear something Celine for the first show. Had wanted to get something custom made with my own wording but I just wasn’t finding the time to sit down and do it 🤨 Anyway, ordered on the 7th and the status is still ‘We're preparing these items for shipping.’. I’ve emailed them twice saying this is for the show and I leave for Paris on the 10th but I keep getting the ridiculous stock answer ‘We are experiencing delays in processing orders and we are doing all that we can to ship your order to you as soon as possible.’ It seems it’s not just Celines store though. Universal music are handling merch for loads of artists and they’re all showing the shipping delay msg on the store. I want to email a third time but feel it won’t do any good. Presumably once they are sent out, it’ll take an age for them to arrive. Ughhhh it’s p***ing me off, it’s 3 T-shirts ffs and I need them for a reason 🤯 Quote

It's a big business, Céline is a company in herself and all the people you are talking about have professional contracts whose expenses are charged in the tickets we bought. Quote
