From the centre to the ground
The Parc is in the 16th arrondissement, in south-west Paris, next to the ring road.
- Metro line 9: Porte de Saint-Cloud, the closest (5 minutes on foot). Exelmans also works.
- Metro line 10: Porte d'Auteuil, handy for the Auteuil end.
- Tickets: single tickets or a rechargeable card from the machines, or the official Île-de-France transport app.
After the match Porte de Saint-Cloud is packed: walk to Marcel Sembat or Michel-Ange Molitor to save time.
Buying an official ticket
- Official ticket office at billetterie.psg.fr: most seats are held by season ticket holders, and the rest go very fast.
- Official resale: the club lets season ticket holders resell their seats on its platform. A visitor's best chance.
- Official hospitality: for a specific date, at a higher price.
Watch out: in France, reselling a match ticket without the organiser's permission is against the law. Tickets bought outside official channels can be cancelled, and ID may be checked at the gate.
Where to sit
- Virage Auteuil: the heart of the Paris ultras, standing, songs and tifos all match.
- Virage Boulogne: the other end, also very lively.
- Side stands: best view of the game, higher prices.
The ground is compact with no running track: you're close to the pitch on almost every level.

Up north, Red Star, founded in 1897 by Jules Rimet, host games at the Stade Bauer in Saint-Ouen (metro 13, Garibaldi station): a legendary neighbourhood club with a working-class, committed atmosphere, next to the flea market. Tickets on redstarfc.fr.
