Buy Angers SCO vs Le Havre tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Ligue 1 fixture scheduled for the weekend of Saturday 30 January 2027 at the Stade Raymond Kopa. The league confirms the exact day and kick-off time a few weeks before each round, so the game can fall anywhere from the Friday evening to the Sunday. It is Matchday 18, the first round of the second half of the season, following a goalless draw between the sides in Le Havre in September.

Few fixtures in Ligue 1 have been as tight in recent seasons. Angers SCO and Le Havre have met five times in the top flight since 2024, with one win each, three draws and a goal difference of exactly zero. Both of the last two games at the Kopa ended 1-1, and a January afternoon in Anjou promises more of the same close contest.
This guide covers what drives demand, how to buy, what resale seats typically cost, where to sit, what hospitality includes and the full Ligue 1 record between the clubs.
The Stade Raymond Kopa holds 19,800 after a long redevelopment completed in 2023, and Angers season ticket holders take a large share of it before each game goes on sale. The ground's compact, rebuilt stands put every seat close to the pitch, which makes it an easy sell for supporters and visitors alike.
The visitors bring a loyal following. Le Havre, founded in 1872 and the oldest club in French football, have supporters who travel well across the north-west of France, and the trip south to Angers is a manageable one by road or rail. A new visitors' section at the Kopa, opened for the 2026/27 season, gives them a dedicated home in the ground.
The fixture list shapes interest too. Angers host some of Ligue 1's biggest names in the autumn, including Angers SCO vs Marseille in October, and supporters who miss out on those dates often look to a more affordable game like this one. For budget-conscious buyers, a meeting between two well-matched sides is one of the better-value afternoons in the Angers calendar.
Then there is the table. Both clubs have spent recent seasons fighting to stay clear of the bottom places, and head-to-head games between sides with similar targets carry extra weight in the spring. A win here can be worth more than three points in the final reckoning.
The rebuilt stadium has changed the matchday too. After years of works, supporters now have four modern stands, new lounges and better facilities, and the club has used the new ground to build its crowds back up. A full Kopa on a winter weekend is a very different experience from the patched-up ground of a decade ago.
Yes. Angers sell match tickets through the club's own ticket office, and there is no membership you must hold before buying. Season ticket holders take priority, and remaining seats are released to the public in the weeks before each game.
For a mid-season fixture like this, general sale usually covers most areas of the ground, but the central seats in the Tribune Jean-Bouin and groups of seats together tend to go first. Because the league confirms the exact slot only a few weeks ahead, club sales can open before visitors know whether the game falls on a Friday night or a Sunday afternoon.
The resale marketplace solves that timing problem. Every order on 1BoxOffice comes from a verified seller and carries a 150% money-back guarantee if tickets do not arrive as described. You can choose the exact block you want, buy seats together and still find listings in the final week.
Le Havre supporters should apply through their own club first. The away allocation is sold by Le Havre, and anyone who buys resale will be in a home area, so the colours advice in the seating section applies in full.
Overseas buyers also avoid the practical hurdles of a French ticketing account. No French address, bank card or phone number is needed to buy on the marketplace.
For groups, resale also makes seating together much easier. Club sales tend to break up the most popular blocks quickly, while listings on the marketplace show clearly how many seats sit side by side, so a family or group of friends can buy a block in one purchase.
Five factors move the price for this fixture. Seat location comes first: central seats in the Tribune Jean-Bouin cost more than places in the corners and behind the goals.
Demand is the second, and a meeting between two mid-table sides sits at the lower end of Angers' range. Timing is the third, as prices can firm up once the league confirms the kick-off slot. The opponent is the fourth: visits from the likes of Angers SCO vs Paris Saint-Germain command a far higher premium. Hospitality tier is the fifth and sits in its own bracket for the 2026/27 season.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £25 – £40 | Budget-conscious buyers | Corners and higher rows with a full view of the pitch |
| Longside standard | £35 – £55 | Most first-time visitors | Tribune Coubertin and outer Jean-Bouin blocks |
| Lower tier / central | £45 – £70+ | Buyers who want to be close to the action | Rebuilt stands sit close to the touchline |
| Premium seating | £60 – £95+ | Couples and small groups after the prime sightline | Central Tribune Jean-Bouin near the halfway line |
| Hospitality / VIP | £110 – £250+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Loges, salons and the Bodéga 1919 lounge |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Ligue 1 remains one of Europe's better-value top divisions for matchgoers, and this fixture is a good example. A central seat here costs a fraction of a comparable seat in the Premier League, which makes premium seating an easy upgrade for a special trip.
Hospitality here is also more accessible than at the division's larger grounds. Lounge packages at the Kopa are priced for local businesses and supporters marking a special occasion, so a single-match package is a realistic option rather than a luxury reserved for corporate groups.
Compare listings for the same block side by side, and judge them on block and row rather than stand name alone. Supply usually builds after the Christmas break, once season ticket holders know which January dates they cannot make.
The fixture's recent record also helps value. With no side dominating the head-to-head and no headline name in the visiting dressing room, demand stays steady rather than spiking, which gives patient buyers more room to compare seats in the final fortnight.
The ground has been Angers' home since 1912 and carries the name of Raymond Kopa, who played for the club from 1949 to 1951 before becoming one of the great players of his era. It was rebuilt in stages between 2018 and 2023, and the four modern stands now sit tight to the pitch.
The Tribune Jean-Bouin is the main stand, with hospitality and the club's lounges. The Tribune Coubertin faces it, while the Tribune Saint-Léonard and the Tribune Colombier complete the bowl. The new visitors' section sits at the end of the Jean-Bouin stand next to the Tribune Colombier.
Use the stand names in each listing to match seats to the table below, as 1BoxOffice does not yet have a dedicated guide to the ground.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribune Jean-Bouin (central) | Buyers who want the classic TV-angle view | Premium | Main stand with the dugouts and hospitality |
| Tribune Jean-Bouin (outer blocks) | Strong sightlines below premium prices | Mid to upper | Angled view towards one goal; good for watching team shape |
| Tribune Coubertin | First-time visitors and families | Mid | Long side facing the main stand with a clear view of the whole pitch |
| Tribune Saint-Léonard | Home supporters who want atmosphere | Lower to mid | Behind the goal with a lively home crowd |
| Tribune Colombier | Budget buyers and groups | Lower | Behind the goal near the away section; keep colours neutral |
| Visitors' section (Jean-Bouin end, next to Colombier) | Le Havre supporters with away tickets | Allocated via Le Havre | New for 2026/27, with its own entrance |
Neutral or undecided buyers are safest in the Tribune Coubertin or the outer Jean-Bouin blocks, away from the behind-the-goal areas and the visitors' section. Le Havre fans holding home-section seats should leave sky blue and navy at home. Visiting colours in home areas can lead to stewards moving you, and resale seats are home-section tickets unless the listing says otherwise.
Height matters as much as the stand. The lower rows put you close to the players and the noise, while the upper rows show the whole shape of the game. Because the rebuilt stands are steep and close to the pitch, even the back rows feel involved.
Families should book seats together in the Tribune Coubertin or the Jean-Bouin wings, where sightlines are clear and the atmosphere carries without the intensity of the ends.
For atmosphere, the ends behind the goals are where the home crowd is loudest, and the compact design means noise carries around the whole ground. Neutral buyers who want to feel part of it without standing among the most committed fans often choose the outer blocks of the Tribune Coubertin, close to the corner.
The Kopa's hospitality sits in the Tribune Jean-Bouin, with private loges, shared salons and the Bodéga 1919 lounge. Many packages are sold for the season to local businesses, so single-match hospitality appears mainly when a package holder cannot attend.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Business seat | Couples and first-time hospitality guests | Padded central seat with lounge access, food and drinks |
| Bodéga 1919 lounge | Small groups and relaxed hosting | Informal lounge with food and drinks before and after the match |
| Salon package | Client entertaining | Seated dining in a shared salon in the main stand |
| Private loge | Corporate groups | Own box, catering and a direct view of the pitch |
Hospitality at French grounds generally includes a padded seat, food and drinks before and after the match and a lounge that opens well ahead of kick-off. The step from one tier to the next is mostly privacy and position.
Read listing notes closely. Some hospitality tickets carry a named guest, a dress code or fixed arrival times. Arrive early, since the pre-match dining is a large part of what you pay for.
For client entertaining, a salon package usually gives a strong mix of comfort and conversation time without the cost of a private loge. The Bodéga 1919 suits more relaxed groups who want food and drinks without a formal dining setting.
Angers issue most match tickets digitally, so resale seats for this fixture usually arrive as e-tickets. The delivery method appears on every listing.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile tickets | That the ticket transfers to your phone or wallet before match day |
| PDF e-tickets | That the barcode prints or displays clearly and each guest has a separate ticket |
| Paper tickets by courier | That your hotel or home address accepts deliveries and someone can sign |
| Local collection | The collection point, opening hours and the ID you must show |
Read each listing's notes carefully before you pay, as they state the delivery method and any restrictions. Bring valid photo ID in case of spot inspections at the turnstiles. Charge your phone fully, because a flat battery at a digital gate is the one problem nobody can solve for you.
The stadium sits on the boulevard Pierre-de-Coubertin, a short ride from the city centre, with separate gates for each stand. Find out which gate your stand uses before you set off: the Jean-Bouin stand uses gates R and S, the Coubertin stand gates N, O and P, the Saint-Léonard stand gates G to K and M and the Colombier stand gates B to E.
Arrive at least 45 minutes before kick-off to allow for security screening and to find your gate. After the final whistle, the streets around the ground fill quickly with home and away supporters, so allow extra time if you have a train to catch.
The streets and bars in the centre of Angers are the natural place to meet before the game, and the walk or short ride to the ground is straightforward. On a January afternoon, dress for a cold, damp day, as seats in the upper rows can catch the wind.

Angers is about an hour and a half from Paris by high-speed train, which makes it an easy trip for international visitors arriving at Paris Charles de Gaulle or Orly. Nantes Atlantique Airport is the closest airport, with regional connections across Europe. For overseas buyers, e-tickets are the simplest option because nothing needs to be posted abroad.
The main risk for international travellers is the kick-off time. Ligue 1 slots are confirmed only a few weeks ahead, so book flexible trains and hotels for the Friday to Sunday window. Seats together are always marked; if a listing does not say so, assume the seats may be split.
Visitors from the UK can reach Angers in a day by Eurostar to Paris and a connecting high-speed train, which makes a weekend trip realistic without flying. Booking both legs early is the easiest way to keep costs down, as fares rise sharply closer to the date.
Le Havre supporters travelling from Normandy face a journey of around four hours by road. Those without away tickets should remember that home seats come with the colours rules above.
Angers itself suits a weekend trip. The castle, the historic centre and the vineyards of the Loire Valley are all within easy reach, and the city's restaurants make it simple to build a relaxed break around the game.
Angers and Le Havre spent much of the 2000s and early 2010s in Ligue 2 together, meeting almost every season in the second tier. Their rivalry moved to the top flight in 2024, when Angers returned to Ligue 1 to join a Le Havre side promoted a year earlier, and it has been remarkably even ever since.
The second-tier years left their mark. Between 2000 and 2015 the clubs met in Ligue 2 in ten different seasons, and Le Havre won the league in 2007/08 while Angers finished third in 2014/15 to win promotion back to the top flight after a long wait. Those meetings are not part of the top-flight record below, but they explain why this feels like a familiar fixture to both sets of supporters.
Angers took the first top-flight meeting of the modern era, winning 1-0 in Le Havre in December 2024. The return at the Kopa in February 2025 ended 1-1, and the pattern held the following season: Le Havre won 2-1 at home in January 2026, then the sides drew 1-1 in Angers in April. The first meeting of 2026/27, in Le Havre in September, finished goalless.
Le Havre's own season includes some big away trips, among them Lille vs Le Havre in October, and every point away from Normandy matters for a club of their size. A visit to Angers is one of the games they will target.
Angers, for their part, have built much of their recent survival on home form at the Kopa. Two draws in two Ligue 1 home games against Le Havre show how hard this fixture has been to win for either side, and the home crowd will expect the rebuilt ground to make the difference this time.
What makes this fixture distinctive is how little separates the sides. One win each, three draws and four goals apiece across five Ligue 1 meetings tell the story of two clubs that know each other well. For buyers, it is an affordable top-flight afternoon with every chance of a close finish.
Angers have hosted Le Havre in Ligue 1 only twice in this run, so the table covers all Ligue 1 meetings between the clubs since 2024 at both grounds.
