A small town club that does not usually sell out, so tickets are normally available close to the game. Derbies and the biggest visitors fill the home stands sooner.

Buying a ticket, step by step

When tickets go on sale: General sale for league games follows a subscriber-only window; the club announces it on aja.fr under Billetterie (a 2024 derby sale opened about three weeks ahead). The ticket office is also open Tuesday to Saturday.

Membership: None needed for single tickets (season-ticket holders and club members get priority). It gets you in before general sale, but you don't need it.

  1. Open aja.fr and choose Billetterie in the top menu, which sends you to the club's online ticket shop (billetterie.aja.fr).
  2. Check the club's news page for the match you want, because each game has its own article saying when general sale opens after the subscriber window.
  3. Pick your stand on the seat map. The seats behind the goals are the cheapest and the main stand costs more.
  4. Create an account with your name and email, add the tickets to your basket and pay by card.
  5. Download the e-ticket to your phone or print it at home, and show it at the turnstile.
  6. If online sale is closed, go to the ticket office at the stadium on Route de Vaux (open Tuesday to Saturday) or try the window on matchday.
