Buy Angers SCO vs Nice tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Ligue 1 Matchday 10 fixture set for Sunday 8 November 2026 at 17:15 CET (16:15 in the UK and 20:15 in the UAE). The match is at the Stade Raymond-Kopa, a compact ground on the edge of central Angers where the visitors have enjoyed far more of this fixture than the hosts.

Angers SCO have hosted Nice ten times in Ligue 1 since returning to the top flight in 2015, and they have won only one of those games. Nice have taken five wins at the ground, so for home supporters this is a Sunday with a long run to break.
This guide covers how Angers sells its home tickets, what the resale market is likely to charge, where to sit, how the new visitors' section works and what the full head-to-head record at the Stade Raymond-Kopa looks like. It also explains how to plan a trip around a late Sunday afternoon kick-off in the Loire Valley.
Both clubs arrive after a nervous 2025/26 season. Nice finished 16th and had to win a relegation play-off against Saint-Étienne to stay in Ligue 1, drawing 0-0 away before a 4-1 win at home on 29 May 2026. Angers finished above them and avoided the play-off, so neither side can treat an autumn meeting between the two as a routine fixture.
The league has placed the match in a Sunday 17:15 slot on Ligue 1+, alongside three other games at the same time. For OGC Nice supporters that means a journey of roughly 1,000 kilometres from the Côte d'Azur to Anjou, and a late return home for anyone driving back the same night.
Recent history adds the edge. Nice are unbeaten on their last six visits to Angers, with four wins and two draws since February 2019. The most recent meeting in March 2026 ended 2-0 to Nice, and the September 2024 game finished 4-1 to the visitors, which gives Angers supporters a clear score to settle.
Capacity shapes how easy it is to get in. The Stade Raymond-Kopa holds 19,800, and Transfermarkt attendance records show crowds for this fixture between roughly 6,600 and 13,500 since 2015. One of the lower figures came while the Saint-Léonard stand was being rebuilt, but the pattern still suggests this fixture rarely tests the ground's full capacity.
That matters for buyers. Availability is less of a worry than seat choice, so the real decision is which stand suits your group and whether you want seats together near the halfway line. Central longside seats and pairs still go first, especially once season ticket holders have claimed their usual places.
The March 2026 meeting also showed how quickly plans can change at this ground. Angers against Lille in February 2026 was played behind closed doors after severe weather and flooding in the region, and the club moved many affected ticket holders to the Nice game instead. It was a reminder that matchday details in Angers are worth confirming close to the date.
Yes, in most cases, but the timing is hard to predict from abroad. Angers sells single-match tickets through its own ticketing platform, and season ticket holders normally receive priority windows before a wider release. The club announces each sale in the weeks before a home game, so exact opening dates for this fixture are not yet public.
The club also runs ticket windows on matchday. For the March 2026 meeting, sales points opened at the Saint-Léonard stand before kick-off and tickets were available at the club shop in the city centre. That works for locals, but it offers little certainty to anyone booking a train, flight or hotel weeks in advance.
Nice supporters follow a separate route. Tickets for the visitors' section are normally distributed through the away club to its own supporters, and access to that area is controlled on matchday. There is no reliable way for a general buyer to secure a place in the away end.
Group bookings are the hardest part to plan. Sales through the club tend to leave scattered singles and pairs once season ticket holders have taken their seats, so families and friends travelling together can struggle to find four seats in a row in a central block.
The resale marketplace is the practical alternative. Listings show the stand, the quantity and the delivery method before you pay, you can secure seats together well ahead of the match and you know exactly what you are buying before you commit to the trip.
Five factors shape prices for this fixture. Seat location matters most, followed by demand for a Sunday Ligue 1 match in November, how close the game is, the competition context of two clubs coming off a difficult season and the hospitality tier you choose. Of those, stand choice and group size matter most here.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £35 – £60 | Budget-conscious buyers who want to be inside the ground | Behind-the-goal and corner seats; views vary by block |
| Longside standard | £45 – £80 | Neutrals and pairs who want a side-on view | Coubertin stand seats away from the halfway line |
| Lower tier / central | £60 – £100 | First-time visitors after a close view | Central longside blocks are the first to thin out |
| Premium seating | £90 – £150+ | Couples and small groups marking an occasion | Jean-Bouin stand seats near the presidential area; inclusions vary |
| Hospitality / VIP | £150 – £300+ | Corporate guests and special trips | Lounge access with catering; confirm inclusions in the listing |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Face value at Angers sits at the modest end of Ligue 1, which is why the resale premium here is mostly about securing the seats you want rather than paying for scarcity. A visit from Nice does not carry the pull of Paris Saint-Germain or Marseille, so buyers who compare this game with those fixtures should expect a lower price for a similar view.
Prices for a Sunday game in Angers tend to move in stages. Early listings test demand, more stock appears as season ticket holders confirm their plans for the weekend and the better-value central seats usually go in the final fortnight. Buyers who know their budget and preferred stand early are well placed to act when a fair listing appears.
The Stade Raymond-Kopa sits on Boulevard Pierre-de-Coubertin, a short distance from the centre of Angers. It opened in 1912 as the Stade Bessonneau, later became the Stade Jean-Bouin and took its current name in March 2017 in honour of Raymond Kopa, the Ballon d'Or winner who started his professional career at Angers.
The ground has four stands close to the pitch. The Jean-Bouin stand is the presidential stand with the lodges, the Coubertin stand faces it on the west side, while the Colombier and Saint-Léonard stands complete the bowl at either end. The Saint-Léonard stand reopened for the 2022/23 season after a full rebuild and now holds 5,272.
For most buyers the decision is atmosphere versus overview. The end stands put you closer to the noise, while the Coubertin and Jean-Bouin stands give the balanced side-on view that suits neutrals and first-time visitors.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jean-Bouin stand, central blocks | Neutrals and premium buyers | Upper | The presidential stand; general entry through gate R on Boulevard Pierre-de-Coubertin |
| Coubertin stand | Pairs and small groups wanting a side-on view | Mid | A longside built in 2010 and 2011, reached through gates O and P |
| Saint-Léonard stand, lower tier | Home fans who want to be close to the action | Lower to mid | Gates G and K from rue Saint-Léonard; home colours only |
| Saint-Léonard stand, upper tier | Buyers who want to see the whole pitch | Lower to mid | Gates J and H; height gives a clear view of shape and movement |
| Colombier stand | Better-value buyers happy behind the goal | Lower to mid | Gates C, D and E from rue du Colombier; renovated in 2018 |
| Visitors' section (Jean-Bouin, Colombier side) | Nice supporters with an allocation ticket | Set by the visiting club | Gate N; new for the 2026/27 season |
The visitors' section is the main change for this season. Angers opened a new area on the right flank of the Jean-Bouin stand, on the Colombier side, for the opening home game against Lille in August 2026. The club says it meets professional football requirements for hosting away supporters and improves safety inside the ground.
Neutral and mixed groups should aim for the Coubertin stand or the central Jean-Bouin blocks and keep colours low-key. The club's matchday guide for the March 2026 meeting banned shirts, scarves, badges and caps of any club other than Angers in home areas. Leave Nice colours at the hotel unless you hold a ticket for the visitors' section.
Tier choice is the second decision. Lower rows put you close to the pitch in a ground where no seat is far from the action, while the upper tier of the Saint-Léonard stand trades some intensity for a clear view of how both teams set up. In a stadium of this size, pairs and small groups rarely have a poor view from any stand.
Accessibility is built into most entrances. The club's gate plan lists facilities for supporters with reduced mobility at several points around the ground, and anyone who needs an accessible seat should confirm the exact location with the seller before paying.
Hospitality at the Stade Raymond-Kopa is spread across three stands. The Jean-Bouin stand holds the presidential reception spaces and lodges, the Colombier stand houses the Salon Colombier and the Bodéga 1919 and the rebuilt Saint-Léonard stand includes Le Panoramique restaurant. For a 17:15 kick-off, a package turns the match into an easy afternoon out with food and a short walk to your seat.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Presidential lounge seat | Business travellers and couples | Central Jean-Bouin stand seating with reception access through gate S |
| Salon Colombier or Bodéga 1919 | Visitors who want food and drink built into the day | Pre-match catering in the Colombier stand, reached through gate B |
| Le Panoramique | Groups wanting a restaurant setting | Dining in the Saint-Léonard stand, with access through gate I |
| Private lodge | Companies entertaining guests | A private space with its own seating in the Jean-Bouin stand |
Inclusions vary between sellers, so read every listing closely. Confirm whether the package covers food, drinks and parking. Ask too whether guest names must be registered before match day.
The Sunday slot makes hospitality more appealing than usual. A package with catering removes the need to queue at food stands on a cool November afternoon, and it keeps a group seated together in a ground where blocks of four are harder to find than pairs.
Arrive in good time to make the most of it. For the March 2026 meeting, the fan zone opened two and a half hours before kick-off and the gates 90 minutes before, which leaves room for a relaxed meal before the teams walk out.
Most resale tickets for Angers home games are delivered digitally, and the delivery method in your listing decides how smooth your matchday is. Sort out the transfer before you travel rather than outside the gates.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | Which account or app the ticket is transferred to, and that it opens on your phone before you travel |
| E-ticket (print at home) | Whether it is a PDF or a barcode, plus the date the seller expects to send it |
| Club account transfer | That the seat is transferred for this match only and the name on it can be changed if required |
| Hand delivery in Angers | The meeting point or hotel, the handover time and a contact number for match day |
Read the listing notes before paying and supply attendee details promptly. Bring valid photo ID in case stewards ask for it, and charge your phone fully for mobile entry. Keep a screenshot or printed copy of your order details as a backup.
Your gate depends on your stand, so match the letter on your ticket to the plan before you set off. Queues build in the final half hour, and the club advised supporters at the March 2026 meeting to arrive well before kick-off to avoid long waits at the entrances.
Getting to the ground is simple. Buses 1, 5, 10 and 40 stop at Saumuroise near the stadium, tram line B runs to Montaigne about 20 minutes' walk away and Angers Saint-Laud station is roughly a 30-minute walk. Drivers can use the A87 motorway, exit 18, and the club has pointed supporters towards parking at the Espace Anjou shopping centre, around 20 minutes on foot.
The return journey needs a little planning. A 17:15 kick-off means the final whistle comes shortly after 19:00, and buses and trams are busiest in the first half hour after the match. Waiting a few minutes lets the crowds clear before you head back to the centre or the station.

At a ground with modest face values and crowds below capacity, the savings come from timing and flexibility rather than chasing bargains.
Angers is easy to reach from Paris. High-speed trains from Paris Montparnasse reach Angers Saint-Laud in around an hour and a half, and some services run direct from Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. Nantes Atlantique airport lies around 90 kilometres away, with rail and road links to Angers.
Plan around a Sunday evening finish. With the final whistle shortly after 19:00, an evening train back to Paris is possible if you book with a buffer, but an overnight stay in Angers is the more relaxed option. The city's château and old town make an easy base, and the Loire Valley vineyards are close enough for a day trip before or after the match.
Visitors following from the Gulf should note the timing. Kick-off is 20:15 in the UAE and 16:15 in the UK, so anyone flying in on Sunday morning has a workable window, though a Saturday arrival removes the risk of a delayed connection costing you the match.
This is not a traditional rivalry, but the home record against Nice has become a sore point for Angers supporters. The sequence began on 29 August 2015, in Angers' first season back in the top flight, with a 1-1 draw at what was then the Stade Jean-Bouin. Nice won 1-0 on their next visit in August 2016, and a 1-1 draw followed in April 2018 at the renamed Stade Raymond-Kopa.
Angers' only home win came on 16 February 2019, a 3-0 victory that still stands as the hosts' only success in the series. Since then Nice have not lost in Angers, winning 3-0 behind closed doors in November 2020, 2-1 in October 2021, 4-1 in September 2024 and 2-0 in March 2026. The Nice vs Angers SCO return fixture follows in April 2027.
What makes the fixture worth watching is the gap between the clubs' recent seasons and the record at this ground. Nice needed a play-off to survive last season, yet they keep winning in Angers, and every visit now arrives with the question of whether the hosts can finally turn the pattern around. For buyers, that tension gives a Sunday in the Loire Valley a real story.
These figures cover every Ligue 1 meeting at the Stade Raymond-Kopa, known as the Stade Jean-Bouin until 2017, with Angers SCO as hosts since the club's return to the top flight in 2015. Earlier Division 1 meetings, cup ties and games in Nice are not included. Nice lead the record at this ground by five wins to one, and they have outscored their hosts by 16 goals to nine.
