Celine Dion Presale Help!!

Hello all.
As some may know, Celine Dion is coming to Croke Park next year for a concert. Not my cup of tea but my sister-in-law (biggest CD fan ever) is getting married and we want to get tickets for her as a present. Normally I get a hold of presale codes and post them here but I've drawn a blank - the normal sale starts at 9am on Thursday and we'll both be working so can't guarantee getting the tickets.
Would greatly appreciate it if anyone had the code and either posted it on the open forum or PMed it to me so I could get the tix.
Cheers,
Robothell:beer:

Life in this world is, as it were, a sojourn in a cave. What can we know of reality? For all we can see of the true nature of existence is, shall we say, no more than bewildering and amusing shadows cast upon the inner wall of the cave by the unseen blinding light of absolute truth, from which we may or may not deduce some glimmer of veracity, and we as troglodyte seekers of wisdom can only lift our voices to the unseen and say humbly "Go on, do deformed rabbit again.....it's my favourite". © Terry Pratchett in "Small Gods"

Most artists now will ringfence a certain proportion of their tickets for sale to their fans prior to the date they go on general sale. To buy a ticket to the concert you need the presale password or code.....I think the reason for this practice is to give the true fans a chance to get their tickets before the touts go in and buy them all within 15 minutes on the day of release. Generally the only benefit gained from the presale is the fact that you "beat the rush", although occasionally you are offered a small discount or a package that works out at slightly better value.
I get these codes normally from a number of sources - I'm on the mailing lists for Wonderland, MCD, Ticketmaster etc, I have a few friends inside some of the larger promotions companies and I'm registered with the fan clubs of the bands that I like. Most of the fan clubs will release the code to the members a few days before the presale. Unfortunately ticket touts are not stupid, and join up prior to the concerts and have now started buying up most of the presale tickets too, defeating the purpose. This was demonstrated a few years back when the U2 concerts were more or less sold out on presale alone and then the tickets were flooded on to eBay for a tidy profit. For this reason I normally post the presale codes on the boards here to level the playing field for those of us not after a tidy profit (I posted Oxegen, Snow Patrol, Aerosmith and a few others I think).
Unfortunately Celine Dion charges $40 to join her fan club and get the code, which I just see as money grabbing. Hence my post here as an appeal:D .Life in this world is, as it were, a sojourn in a cave. What can we know of reality?

Paying money to see (or hear, which is possible worse) Celine Dion? What is that saying about someone and their money being easily parted?Don't lie, thieve, cheat or steal. The Government do not like the competition.

What's that other famous saying regarding opening one's mouth and removing all doubt?:pLife in this world is, as it were, a sojourn in a cave. What can we know of reality?
