Is supporting Paris Saint-Germain too expensive? The seat resale system is creaking

It’s a debate that has only intensified over the years, since QSI’s arrival at the helm of Paris Saint-Germain. The price of tickets to attend matches has increased steadily and now some supporters are tense over the sums to be paid to be in the stands during an important match, such as the one between the French champions and Juventus, this Tuesday in the Champions League (9:00 p.m.).

The problem is that many sellers buy tickets with the aim of reselling them on this much more expensive site. (TicketPlace, editor’s note)”, wrote @luciepsg75 on Twitter. “Because of these exorbitant prices, some supporters are deprived of coming to the Park to support our players for lack of means.“, adds this 20-year-old supporter, with a TicketPlaceOUT hashtag targeting the PSG partner ticket resale site.

On Friday, the cheapest remaining places on TicketPlace sold for 145 euros for PSG-Juve. On Monday, the price dropped to 130 euros and you had to wait a few minutes to access the site. “The system is not perfect, but it avoids recreating a black market“, explains the club. “Without this resale platform, which works in partnership with PSG and its subscribers, tourists could be fooled with fake tickets. We would risk having counterfeit money controversies with each big poster“.

On TicketPlace, the 36,000 subscribers of the Parisian club can resell their place when they do not go to the match by choosing the price, without a ceiling but with a floor. The club keeps 10% commission, the subscriber collects the rest. The Parc des Princes has been sold out since the arrival of Neymar, specifies the French champion club. “Against Juve, it’s our 100th game ‘sold out’“.Subscriber”for ten years at the Park“, Gaël Dulong, a 45-year-old salesman, appreciates this system.

PSG ensures that the system is not hijacked

It’s good for fans who always have a chance to go see a game and are ready to pay“, he said. He paid the subscription for the year (640 euros in the Boulogne high stand, editor’s note) “especially to have access to large posters, not Troyes, Ajaccio or Angers, which I could resell for 30 or 40 euros“. It happens that the system is diverted from his mind. A Marseillais who “rented” more than a hundred subscriptions to attend OM matches has just been sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for “fraud” committed to the prejudice of the club.

PSG have “not known this kind of case” and told Monitor that subscriptions are not used solely for resale.”I’m not a reseller, I’m a lifelong supporter“, assures Gaël Dulong, who resells tickets for “about ten matches per season“which he cannot attend.”I’m not very greedy, my best deal is to have sold a PSG-Naples where I could not go for 120 euros“, he says. “Your subscription can be repaid, better than a booklet A“. And “pretty fair deal“, according to him.

Most subscribed this season”for personal reasons“, he benefits from it the other way around.”I went to see PSG-Monaco in the side stands for 85 euros“, he concludes.
