When Celine Dion first announced her debut concert in Singapore this July, everyone was super excited until they realised that tickets started from $150, and VVIP tickets were going at a whopping $1,200. For that price, you’d better make sure that Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet recreate that iconic “I’m Flying” scene whilst Celine Dion is belting out “My Heart Will Go On”.
Jokes aside, the extravagant VIP tickets do come with extra perks that normal concerts might not offer. From meet and greets to backstage tours and private receptions, it seems like a fan’s dream can come through. It all depends on the price you’re willing to pay. Here’s a list of the 10 most expensive concerts in Singapore, Celine Dion’s included. Interestingly, there’s even an orchestra on the list too – and a bloody good one at that.
