Me and my mates are looking to go to France in August/September when the Ligue Une season starts up again. Anyone know where I'd be able to get some tickets. I'm aware the fixtures haven't been printed yet, etc/. Just looking for a contact.

You can buy them online form clubs for some parts of the grounds.
What team/s you looking to see?
Marseille, as I'm a big fan but I understand it'd be very difficult to get tickets for the Stade Velodrome so maybe I'd look at Marseille playing away.
All help appreciated.
I went to see PSG a few years ago, and just bought my ticket the day before in a sports shop, a bit like Champion Sports or the likes. I think it was called Foot Locker...not sure, their website gives all the details. Their Ultras sit, or stand, behind each goal...and as a football tourist I wouldn't recommend joining them. They were really animated the game I was at. About 50 flares were thrown on the pitch and the match delayed for ten minutes. Best to sit along the side.
Thats the only part of the ground id recomend going too. Paris Ultras aint too bad. You would never get tickets unless you know someone in the groups.Quote:

All that stuff has been dealt with over a year ago, when a group causing some of the trouble has gone out of existence, but the situation was more complicated. Ive met a few of them and some were over here for the cup final in December.Quote:

I was thinking more of maybe Marseille away to Monaco (they never sell out any fixtures nowadays) or one of the smaller clubs like Le Mans, Nancy or Metz though I'm aware this is stretching across a vast part of France.Quote:

For Marseille, they can only be ordered on the official website in French, via registration in French, and you will have to collect them over there, in French.Quote:

Tickets for PSG can be bought in the following places

Friends of mine bought them in the PSG shop near the Champs Elyses
Thanks lads.
You should be able to buy them form the ticket office up to the day before a match unless its a big match (ie PSG V Marseille).
Why you would want to go to a Marseille match is beyond me though, their fans are scum (generally speaking).
Try fnac.fr too. They have an english language option hidden on their page somewhere, although you might need a french credit card.
Wrong :rolleyes::mad:Quote:

There's more (and worse) trouble in Italy every week.
Im not so much talking about the stadium (prob one of the best for atmosphere in Europe Id say), but the ones that you see on the street, day to day (in France), so I've no desire to go where they congrigate.
Thats my experience from living in Strasbourg and Paris anywaay.
A Paris resident thinking Marseille fans are scum. Quelle surprise!! :eek::rolleyes:Quote:

I think ticketnet.fr do ticketing for a couple of clubs.
