Summary
- Ticketmaster halted Celine Dion ticket sales due to suspicious bot activity.
- The Canadian star's comeback shows are scheduled in Paris from September to October.
- Fans expressed anger over lengthy wait times and inability to purchase tickets.
Ticketmaster has paused the sale of Celine Dion tickets for her upcoming comeback concerts, citing "suspicious activity" that prevented genuine fans from purchasing seats. The Canadian icon is scheduled to perform 10 shows at the La Défense arena in Paris from September 12 to October 14.
Dion's return marks a significant moment following her diagnosis with Stiff Person Syndrome in 2022. However, the ticket sale on June 4 was disrupted by bots and scalpers, leading to significant fan outcry and the eventual postponement of the sale. Ticketmaster stated that ticket availability would be maintained until a new sale date and time are announced.
Fans reported experiencing hours of waiting in virtual queues, only to be met with errors and ultimately blocked from purchasing tickets. Many took to social media to express their disappointment and anger, describing the situation as a "disgrace" and a "wasted morning."
