Buying a ticket, step by step
When tickets go on sale: Sale dates are not fixed; people who sign up under 'Etre alerte des prochaines mises en vente' get the sale terms by email at the latest the day before a match goes on sale.
- Open billetterie.rclens.fr; you may be held in a Queue-it waiting room, so be there before the sale starts.
- Sign up under 'Être alerté des prochaines mises en vente' on the home page for the game you want, and create a free account at 'Mon compte' at the same time.
- Wait for the email with the sale terms (48 to 72 hours before the sale), then press 'Réserver' on the match.
- Choose 'Tribunes assises' marked 'Tout public' for numbered seats; the standing 'Tribunes populaires' are for club supporters only and the 'Sympathisants' lines need supporter status.
- Pick seats on the plan (maximum 2 per order), pay by card, and keep the e-ticket from 'Mon compte'.
- If a game shows 'Complet', check the 'Plateforme de revente' for official resale tickets.
Tips
- For Marseille on 8 Nov 2026, reduced-visibility seats were from EUR 36 and 'Sympathisants' seats from EUR 40.
- The stadium is in the town centre, so skip the car and walk from the station.
