Overview
- Pre-registration for the 10 Paris La Défense Arena shows closed Thursday after a worldwide surge, with media counts ranging from about 2 million to 9 million sign-ups for roughly 330,000 tickets.
- AXS says all registrants will get status emails between April 6 and April 9, with a pre-sale on April 7 and a general sale on April 10 through AXS, Ticketmaster and Fnac Spectacles, and prices set from €89.50 to €298.50.
- AXS describes its Fair AXS lottery as random selection for access, and it asked for bank card details at sign-up to confirm real people and to block automated scalpers; the company says it does not store or sell this data.
- French cyber officials report a rise in fake ticket sites and social posts, urge buyers to use only official links from the artist or venue, and ask victims to file complaints on the Thesée platform.
- Hotels and restaurants around La Défense report sharp early bookings from fans planning trips for September and October, and some venues are hiring extra staff to handle concert nights.
