Céline Dion’s Paris La Défense Arena Presale Tickets Sell Out in Four Hours
Fans faced long waits but no major crash during the Ticketmaster presale on Thursday, April 9. Filmogaz.com learned that all seats allocated for that slot were sold shortly before 14:00.
Presale proceeds amid high demand
The presale opened at 10:00 for concerts running from September 12 to October 17. Demand was intense, and the presale for Céline Dion at Paris La Défense Arena saw tickets sell out in about four hours.
Personal accounts from the queue
Thousands logged in simultaneously. One fan, Claire, secured two tickets after failing during the Visa presale the previous day.
Others reported long queue positions. Camille said she had been connected since 8:45 and waited while listed as number 74,000.
She added that an hour after the start of the Visa Premium and Visa Premier presale, only €700 tickets remained available.
Earlier technical problems with partners
Issues began on Tuesday during the artist-only presale. The Fnac site experienced a bug for more than an hour around 10:00.
Despite that, people who won the lottery managed to buy tickets later that day. A second sales wave followed the opening of six additional dates.
Visa presale drew criticism
The following day, the Visa presale encountered repeated faults. Both Visa Infinite in the morning and Visa Premier and Premium in the afternoon faced access problems.
These interruptions lasted several minutes and triggered a wave of complaints online.
What remains for fans
A general public sale is scheduled for Friday at 10:00. Filmogaz.com reports only a few thousand tickets will still be available.
Fans must act quickly to secure seats for the Paris shows. Demand remains high for the singer’s return.
