“Tickets to most of her shows across the world have all sold out. We expect tickets here to be snapped up fast as well,” Artiste World executive director Arianna Teoh said. 

“The show is definitely an experience not to be missed. This is a lifetime opportunity and definitely a family affair.”  

Celine Dion Taking Chances World Tour – Live in Kuala Lumpur will be held at Stadium Merdeka at 8pm on April 8. For details contact 03-2282 2020.
