Buy AJ Auxerre vs Monaco tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match listed for Saturday 6 February 2027 at 15:00 local time. The Ligue 1 fixture takes place at the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps, the ground on the banks of the Yonne that the club has owned and played at since 1918. Few top-flight pairings have been played here as often: this will be the 35th league meeting between the sides in Burgundy.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
Monaco arrive as one of the most decorated clubs in France, with eight league titles and five Coupe de France wins. AJ Auxerre answer with their own history as champions in 1995/96 and four-time cup winners, which gives a February afternoon in a small cathedral town the feel of a meeting between two clubs that once ran French football.
This guide covers resale prices, the stands at the Abbé-Deschamps, how entry works and what four decades of results say about the fixture here. Everything below is built to help you pick the right seat and complete your order with confidence.
Capacity is the first constraint. The club lists the Abbé-Deschamps at 18,541 seats, which is modest for a top-flight ground and small against the demand a big-name visitor creates. Season ticket holders and local members take a large share before any single-match sale opens.
Monaco are the kind of opponent that lifts a home calendar. The club has spent most of its modern history competing in Europe, reached the Champions League final in 2004 and won the French title as recently as 2016/17, so neutral fans in Burgundy and Paris circle this date early.
The visiting support is small but committed. The principality has a tiny population and the trip north is roughly 700 kilometres by road, so the away section fills with a core of travelling regulars rather than thousands. That keeps pressure on the home and neutral areas rather than the visitors' block.
Recent results add an edge for the home crowd. Monaco have won each of the last three meetings in Auxerre, including a 3-0 win in September 2024. Home supporters have not seen a league win over the principality club here since November 2009. There is a debt to settle.
The scoring pattern has changed as well. Six of the first ten meetings here ended goalless, yet the last three produced eleven goals between them. Neutral buyers who remember the fixture as a cagey affair are now paying for one of the more open games on the Auxerre home calendar.
The timing works for visitors too. A Saturday afternoon kick-off in early February suits a day trip from Paris or a weekend in the Yonne. The match also sits well clear of the spring run-in, when ticket availability at every French ground tightens further.
Broadcast scheduling is the one moving part. Ligue 1 confirms final dates and kick-off times a few weeks ahead to fit television slots, so the listed Saturday at 15:00 can shift within the same weekend. Buyers who book early should allow for that movement in travel plans.
Yes, but the club route favours regulars. Auxerre sell season tickets first, then release single-match seats in later windows. For a visit from a big name the remaining stock is limited and concentrated in specific blocks.
The club's ticketing system also assumes a French buyer. Pages run in French, ask for local details and can reject foreign payment cards, which trips up overseas visitors who wait for the sale window to open.
Monaco supporters face the usual away restrictions. Their allocation is sold through the visiting club to its own members. Travelling groups are often asked to follow set arrival routes and meeting points agreed with the local authorities on the day.
Block choice is the hidden issue. Clubs of this size protect their core home areas for regulars, so the seats released late tend to sit in corners or upper rows rather than the central positions a first-time visitor would want.
A verified secondary marketplace is the practical route for everyone else. You choose your area, see the full price before paying and receive the ticket by the method shown on the listing. No season ticket, club account or sale window is needed.
Timing matters as well. Single-match sales for a February fixture open only weeks ahead, which is late for anyone booking trains from Paris or a hotel in a town with a limited number of rooms.
Five factors set the price of seats for this match: where you sit, overall demand, how close the purchase is to kick-off, the state of the 2026/27 Ligue 1 table by February and whether you choose hospitality. French face values are moderate, so resale prices here reflect limited availability rather than expensive tickets at source.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper rows / less central | £50 – £85 | Budget-conscious fans | End and corner positions sit at the lower end of the range |
| Longside standard | £70 – £120 | First-time visitors | Side views with the whole pitch in sight |
| Lower rows / central | £95 – £160+ | Fans who want to be close to the pitch | Limited stock; central blocks move first |
| Main stand premium | £140 – £240+ | Couples and small groups | Covered central seating in the Tribune d'Honneur |
| Hospitality / VIP | £260 – £520+ | Corporate guests and celebrations | Catering and lounge access depending on the package |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The opponent is the main reason this fixture prices above a routine Auxerre home game. Only a handful of visitors move the market this much, with AJ Auxerre vs Paris Saint-Germain the one that sits clearly higher. Monaco games land in the band just below, well above a mid-table visit.
Values tend to hold steady through the winter, then firm up in the fortnight before the game as travelling fans confirm plans and the kick-off time is fixed. Central seats rise fastest, while corner positions usually stay within reach.
Group size is the other variable. Four or more seats together in the covered central blocks are the hardest listings to find, so expect to pay towards the top of the range. Pairs and single seats give you far more choice.
Compare listings on the total rather than the headline figure. Seat position and delivery method both affect the final amount. The full price is shown before you confirm, so a quick look at two or three similar seats often reveals stronger value.
The league table by February is the final lever. If either club is chasing a European place or pulling clear of the bottom three, late demand rises sharply and the upper end of every bracket stretches. If both sides sit comfortably in mid-table, prices tend to settle nearer the lower figures in the final week.
The ground has four stands, each with its own character: the Tribune d'Honneur along one side, the Tribune Latérale opposite, the Tribune Leclerc at one end and the Tribune Vaux at the other, named after the road that leads out towards the village of Vaux. If you are planning a wider trip, you can compare football stadiums across Europe before settling on a stand here.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribune d'Honneur, central blocks | Premium buyers and hospitality guests | Upper to premium | The main stand, with the most cover and the club's boxes |
| Tribune Latérale | Neutrals and first-time visitors | Mid | Longside view facing the main stand; neutral clothing advised |
| Tribune Leclerc | Committed Auxerre fans who want to sing | Lower to mid | The loudest home section; no Monaco colours |
| Tribune Vaux | Families and value seekers | Lower | Behind the goal with a calmer atmosphere |
| Visitors' section | Monaco supporters | Away pricing | Sold through the visiting club, with arrival arrangements set for the day; away vehicles have used the campsite car park on the Route de Vaux in recent seasons |
| Corner positions | Budget buyers | Lower | Angled view at the lowest prices in the ground |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should avoid the home end and the visitors' section. The Tribune Latérale or a corner seat gives you the noise of a full ground without sitting among either set of committed support.
Cover is the February question. The main stand offers the most protection from the weather, while parts of the ends are more exposed, so anyone worried about rain or a cold wind off the river should pay the extra for a covered central seat rather than gamble on a corner.
Supporters with accessibility needs should raise them with the seller before paying. Wheelchair positions and companion seats at a ground of this size are limited in number and allocated in specific areas, so confirming the exact position in advance avoids a problem at the turnstile.
Row choice matters too. Lower rows put you close to the pitch in a compact ground, while a few rows higher show the shape of the game more clearly. Most first-time visitors are happiest in the middle rows of a side stand.
Sight lines are good almost everywhere because the stands sit close to the touchline. The main stand rises highest, which helps if you want to follow tactical patterns, while the ends put you nearer the goalmouth action and the singing.
Colours rules are simple. Wear Auxerre white and blue or neutral clothing in home areas and keep Monaco red and white for the visitors' section. Stewards can move supporters whose colours cause friction; a red-and-white scarf in the Tribune Leclerc is an easy way to end up relocated.
Hospitality at the Abbé-Deschamps is based in the Tribune d'Honneur, where the club's boxes sit alongside premium seating. The scale is modest compared with the largest French grounds, which means a more personal experience but fewer places. A visit from Monaco is one of the dates local businesses book first.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seat with lounge access | Solo guests and couples | Covered central seat plus catering before and after the match |
| Dining package | Small groups marking an occasion | Seated meal built around Burgundy produce and wine |
| Private box | Companies and larger parties | Dedicated space with catering and a direct view of the pitch |
| Matchday package | Visitors building a weekend in the region | One booking covering seats, hospitality and extras |
The regional angle is a real selling point. Auxerre sits on the edge of Chablis country. Hospitality here leans on local food and wine in a way the larger clubs rarely match. A winter lunch before a 15:00 kick-off suits that style well.
Ask what a package includes before booking. Hospitality at smaller French clubs varies more than at the big names, with some options built around a full seated meal and others closer to a lounge with drinks and lighter food. Places are limited, so book early if a lounge experience matters to you.
Lounge guests are usually invited to arrive well before kick-off, often around two hours ahead, so the meal is not rushed. Smart casual dress is the norm in French club hospitality. Club colours are welcome in the home lounges but best left at the hotel if you are a Monaco supporter seated in a home area.
French clubs have moved almost entirely to digital ticketing, so your listing will state whether the seat arrives as a mobile ticket, a print-at-home file or a transfer to an account.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | The phone number, email or account that will receive the ticket |
| E-ticket (PDF) | That you can open or print the file before travelling |
| Account transfer | The account details required and when the transfer will be completed |
| Hospitality e-ticket | Arrival time, entrance and any guest names required |
Read the listing notes before you buy, especially anything about holder names or block conditions. Bring a passport or identity card, charge your phone fully for mobile entry and leave large bags behind, since bag restrictions apply at the turnstiles.
Getting there is simple. The ground sits on the Route de Vaux, around a 20-minute walk from Auxerre station, with local buses running nearby. Drivers coming down the A6 should leave at exit 20 for Auxerre Sud; parking close to the stadium fills early on a Saturday.
Arrive well before kick-off. Entrances at a ground this size have modest capacity, queues build in the last half hour and the riverside walk takes longer on a cold February afternoon than it looks on a map. Kiosks inside generally take cards, but carrying some cash covers any gap.
Do not worry if your tickets arrive late in the week. Digital seats for French league matches are often released to holders only in the final days before kick-off, so a delivery window close to the match is normal. Your order confirmation states the expected timing.

Most international visitors reach Auxerre through Paris. Trains from the capital take around two hours, the A6 motorway makes the drive straightforward and the town is small enough to cross on foot. Digital delivery means overseas buyers need no French address. Groups should state that they want seats together before paying.
Because the date and kick-off can still move for television, book flexible rail fares and refundable rooms until the schedule is fixed. Monaco supporters travelling from the Riviera face a long day, with Nice airport, a flight or fast train to Paris and a connection south-east into Burgundy. Build the trip around the region rather than the match alone: the old town on the Yonne and the Chablis vineyards nearby make a February weekend here worthwhile. If you want to add another game to the trip, you can browse football tickets across Europe for the same weekend.
For its first decade this fixture was a lesson in how hard Auxerre were to beat at home. After promotion to the top flight in 1980, they hosted Monaco ten times without losing, winning five and drawing five, with four of those draws finishing goalless. The principality club, champions in 1982 and 1988, rarely found a way through in Burgundy.
The 1990s brought the goals and the stakes. Auxerre beat Monaco 4-1 in August 1992 and 4-0 in October 1993, the widest margin in the fixture here. Then the title races collided: Monaco won 2-1 in Auxerre in December 1995 during the season Auxerre went on to win the championship. Auxerre returned the favour with a 2-0 win in October 1996 over the side that would be crowned champions that season.
The 2000s belonged to the hosts again. Monaco won 3-0 and 2-0 in consecutive visits in 1999 and 2000, the second during their own title-winning season, but Auxerre then went eight home meetings unbeaten between March 2001 and December 2007, winning five. That run ended with a 1-0 Monaco win in November 2008; the last home league win came a year later. The reverse fixture follows later in 2026/27, with seats available for Monaco vs AJ Auxerre at the Stade Louis-II.
What makes the fixture distinctive is how the balance has swung. Auxerre lead the home record comfortably over 34 meetings, yet Monaco have won the last three. The clubs' separate spells outside the top flight mean the rivalry has been played in bursts rather than every season. Each visit now carries the question of whether the old home record still means anything.
The ground is part of that story. The club has owned the Abbé-Deschamps since the stadium opened in 1918, a rarity in French football where municipalities usually hold the freehold. The crowd record of 22,500 was set in May 1996 as the title was celebrated. Big-name visitors like Monaco are the days the town still turns out for.
The figures below cover every French top-flight league meeting at the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps with Auxerre as hosts, from 1980/81 to 2025/26. Division 1 became Ligue 1 in 2002 and both are treated as one competition; cup and second-tier meetings are excluded.
