They don't celebrate the Sabbath in Canada.

I was given a comp ticket to Celine's show here in Las Vegas when she was at Caesar's Forum. The only thing that made it worth watching were the special effects and other stuff --Celine sounds the same in every song she sings and it got boring fast when she was the focus.
If she's doing a concert with just her and her music, you won't be missing much.

I think that the rescheduled date of the concert needs to change. There are many people who live in Utah, who have been looking forward to this concert for so long, and now, may not be going- because of what so many people believe in here in Utah. If it is possible, the date should be changed. It would allow Celine's fans to still be able to enjoy the concert the way in should be enjoyed.

People need to flood her website and let them know that a concert on the Sabbath in Utah is a horrible idea. Maybe everyone can cause enough of a revolt that they may consider changing the date. I got these tickets as a Christmas Present last year and have been looking forward to this concert for a long time. Everyone needs to speak up!!

Hopefully the postponed concert day can be changed...otherwise, there might be a lot of disappointed mormons and a few more empty seats. However, I'm sure that the fascility is booked and sunday is the only day they may have openings--I hope something can be worked out. I also hope that she recovers fully and quickly from this illness; it sounds miserable!

Please change the date or the venue. We are dedicated fans and since the concert was rescheduled why not have it on another date. We've paid our money and waited a long time so why not be considerate and change the date!
Thanks.

Hey, stop moaning! Just be glad she was able to reschedule in the first place. The infection could have been detrimental to her career. And she tried to make sure she did reschedule.

It shows how selfish you all are.

I'm sure you guys would have moaned if she cancelled altogether. But she wanted to make at least some of her fans in Utah happy.

I pity her for having such whining fans. And I don't even like Celine Dion's music.

This is crazy. This will be my 3rd time to have Celine concert cancelled. Twice I was in Las Vegas and it was cancelled. Even if we have to wait another year, do not reschedule for a Sunday. Have a little respect for the Sabbath. Does anyone know where we can email her directly????? Everyone needs to email and see what if anything can be done.

go on the Celine Dion website and e-mail your concerns Celine is a devout catholic and would surely understand, also e-mail or write the owners of the energy solutions arena. There is no way she would go to a state with a dominant religion and throw their basic belief aside. If she doesn't change it I will not be going...unfortunately because she is awesome in concert!

I went on Ticketmaster the moment tickets went on sale, picked great seats, lost my seats while I created a user account (TM holds selected seats for just a couple minutes), got crappy seats, waited a year, and now Celine postpones to a Sunday? If I can figure how to get through the goofy URL Ticketmaster sent for refunds, I'm getting my money back (less the Tickemaster fee, believe it or not), and taking my wife to a nice dinner. D for Celine, F for Ticketmaster.

funny the comment about changing the date and saying you want to enjoy a concert the way it should be enjoyed, does a friday over a sunday give you church going people more fun on a friday than a sunday is it because you planned to drink friday and go to church on sunday... you are all to hilarious, and so hateful... comment rude things on here then go to church... hmmmmmm

weekend playtime, you have no idea what you're talking about. It's not that we would have more fun going on a Friday than on a Sunday. It's the fact that we don't believe in doing that sort of thing on the Sabbath. I'm sure most LDS members like myself who own tickets would rather not go at all than go to this concert on a Sunday.

:( I hope Celine feels better, obviously...but I am still disappointed just because the situation is what it is. I've looked forward to this concert as I looked at the tickets on my fridge for over a year. However, since you can only get a refund until 12/1 and I had no idea how big of a hassle it would be, I already called and got my refund (won't go on Sunday). If she changes the date now and I miss out on 11th row seats I'm going to be upset. Seriously, whoever made that rescheduling decision was NOT thinking.

No. Utah sees a major earthquake every 350 years. Last one? 350 years ago.
