Celine Dion is back on the road, and this time she is staying put. The “I’m Alive” singer kicked off her 26-date Paris residency at the Plenitude Arena in Nanterre on Sept. 12, marking her first run of shows since announcing her diagnosis with Stiff Person Syndrome in 2022, which forced her to cancel a North American and European tour. Now recovered, she is playing the same arena for months.
The majority of the dates have nearly sold out, and resale tickets can still be found on Ticketmaster France. There are, however, several other outlets worth checking, and Billboard has compiled a list of them.
Ticketmaster Was the Original Door
In April, the tickets for Dion’s Paris shows became available via Ticketmaster, which still serves as the primary source for any additional seating. The run lasts until October, and the venue sits in Nanterre, a city located to the west of central Paris.
Another way to find resale tickets is through the Ticketmaster France website, where you may also spot new seats opening up closer to showtime. This remains the easiest route, even though it is not the only one available.
StubHub Offers Affordable Seats From $131
Billboard ranks StubHub as the first outside retailer on the list, noting that its seats begin at $131. The platform lets users sort listings by cost, sightlines, sections and extras such as VIP treatment or meals and drinks packaged together. It also offers the FanProtect Guarantee, ensuring valid tickets reach you before your performance or your payment is returned. Should your event be called off without a new date set, you receive either 120% credit or a complete refund.
The assurance carries real weight, and it sets the standard for how resale platforms ought to safeguard their customers.
Vivid Seats Pushes Its Own Deals
Vivid Seats offers tickets starting at just $170, with prices that include everything so there are no extra fees or charges waiting at the end. People signing up for the company’s email list through their first purchase receive 15% off. An exclusive promo code, BB30, also cuts $30 off at checkout.
Group purchases often secure lower prices, and Vivid Seats backs that up with a rewards plan: after buying ten tickets online, you earn a site credit for your eleventh ticket free. For full particulars, visit VividSeats.com.
TicketNetwork Sells Cheap From $128
The site offers tickets at a starting price of just $128, with prices that may sit above or below face value depending on the seller. You can use the interactive seating map to look up seats by section and row, and good deals tend to show up closer to showtime.
TicketNetwork offers two promo codes through Billboard. The first code, BILLBOARD150, reduces the total by $150 on orders that reach at least $500. The second code, BILLBOARD300, trims $300 from purchases of $1,000 and above.
All Three Sites Guarantee Authenticity
All three sites — StubHub, Vivid Seats and TicketNetwork — promise authentic tickets or a full refund. Each site also provides prompt delivery via phone or email, so there is no need to arrange a meeting to trade physical stubs.
The Hotel Life Is Part of the Story
The French-Canadian singer Dion has checked into the Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris during her time in town. She has been spotted stopping to pose for pictures and chatting with fans who have gathered along the street outside the hotel on a daily basis. Located close to the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées, the hotel has long served as a home away from home for stars including Michael Jackson and Madonna.
Fans turn out to see the star, camping outside to catch even a fleeting sight of him, and the hotel itself ends up serving as a kind of secondary venue.
A Slight Detail About the Return
While the concerts are being billed as Dion’s big return to the stage, the singer did perform at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She delivered a soaring rendition of Édith Piaf’s “Hymne A L’Amour” from atop the Eiffel Tower.
That performance was separate from the residency.
The Dates Run Through October
The program runs through September and October, with sessions scheduled for Sept. 12, Sept. 16, Sept. 18, Sept. 19, Sept. 23, Sept. 25, Sept. 26, Sept. 30, Oct. 2, Oct. 3, Oct. 7, Oct. 9, Oct. 10, Oct. 14, Oct. 16 and Oct. 17.
According to Billboard, most of those dates are nearly sold out. That is a swift run for a 26-date stand, though it comes as no surprise given the singer’s record.
