  • I can’t find my Céline Dion ticket in the Paléo Tickets app…

    Don’t worry! We’re currently updating the system and as a result you may no longer see your tickets in the Paléo Tickets app. 

    The tickets do exist, they are just not visible at the moment. Ticket owners don't have to do anything: they will reappear within a few days. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

  • I can’t see a barcode or QR code on my digital Paleo ticket. Is this normal? 

    Yes, it’s perfectly normal!  

    Your barcode is securely stored and you won’t see it when you receive the ticket.  

    The barcode will be displayed when your ticket is activated, usually a few minutes or hours before the doors open on the day of the event. The barcode can also be displayed when you enter the Festival using Bluetooth technology. Activate Bluetooth on your phone and walk up to the Festival entrance and the barcode will appear. 

  • I don’t have a smartphone, what should I do? 

    If you don’t have a smartphone, you can ask someone you know to download the Paleo Tickets app for you on their own smartphone. All you have to do is connect to their phone with your e-mail address.

  • How will the person know that I have sent them digital tickets? 

    If you send a ticket to someone who doesn’t have a Paleo Tickets account, they’ll receive an email inviting them to download the Paleo Tickets app and create an account.
