Beijing Show Cancelled Due To Difficulties Securing Venue April 2, 2008
Contrary to earlier reports, Celine Dion is not cancelling her Beijing concert because of sandstorms.
Due to some difficulties in securing the appropriate venue, organizers for Celine's Beijing concert announced that the show originally scheduled to take place on April 13th, has now been cancelled. The original site for the concert was Worker's Stadium, however after further review it was decided that an indoor venue might be more suitable. A few sites were contemplated, however, nothing could be organized on such short notice. With time running out before the event date, a decision was made to re-schedule the show for another time in the future. Ms. Dion, who will still visit Beijing on Saturday April 12th to make an appearance on her friend, Yang Lan's TV show, issued the following statement. "I'm really sorry that things couldn't be worked out for the concert in Beijing. I was really looking forward to it. I'm excited about visiting the city and appearing on Lan's show. At least I will get a chance to visit Beijing and continue to make plans for a future concert". The April 11th Shanghai Stadium concert will be held as scheduled. Patrons holding tickets for the Beijing show may obtain a refund by calling the Emma Ticket National Hotline, 400-707-9999, or by visiting the Emma Ticket office at the North Gate of Workers Stadium.
TeamCeline ticket holders will be contacted by email for ticket refund.
