Buy Lorient vs Le Havre tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Ligue 1 Matchday 20 meeting listed for Saturday 13 February 2027 at 15:00 local time (CET) at the Stade du Moustoir. Ligue 1 confirms broadcast slots a few weeks ahead, so the day and kick-off time can still move within that weekend. It is a meeting of two coastal clubs with a surprising quirk: Lorient have never beaten Le Havre at home in the top flight.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
That record gives the date its edge. FC Lorient play in a compact city-centre ground with close to 17,000 seats, where the stands sit near the pitch and the crowd is loud for its size. A winter weekend in southern Brittany, with the port and the coast a short walk away, turns the match into an easy short break.
For buyers, the recent results add urgency. Le Havre won 0-2 at the Moustoir on the final day of 2025/26 and are unbeaten in their last four Ligue 1 meetings with Lorient. With the Moustoir regularly close to full, seats for this fixture are best secured well before February.
Lorient's support is the first driver. The club reported that the Moustoir ran above 93% of capacity through the 2023/24 season, with eight sell-outs. Season-ticket holders and regulars get first access to single-match tickets. In a ground this size, that leaves limited stock for occasional buyers.
The visitors bring their own following. Le Havre, widely regarded as the oldest football club in France, returned to Ligue 1 in 2023 and have spent the seasons since building a steady travelling support. Normandy to Brittany is a long trip, but the north-stand away section gives their supporters a base of their own.
The ground itself has a story to tell. The Moustoir celebrated its centenary in 2024, a hundred years after the original Parc des Sports opened on the site. Lorient are also back in Ligue 1 after returning in 2025. For visitors, that mix of history and a newly promoted side gives the ground a lively, optimistic feel.
The two clubs share more than a coastline. Both are port towns with strong local identities, both have spent long spells in Ligue 2 and both have met regularly in the second tier as well as the top flight. They have even crossed paths in the French Cup, so supporters on each side know the fixture well.
The reverse fixture comes first this season. Le Havre host Lorient on 8 November 2026. Buyers who want both matches can compare seats for Le Havre vs Lorient at the Stade Océane as well. A strong result in Normandy tends to lift interest in the February return.
The table adds a final layer. By Matchday 20 both clubs will know whether they are looking up or over their shoulders. A home win against a direct rival can shape the run-in. That context tends to lift late demand rather than soften it.
Through the club, it takes planning. Lorient have used a phased sales model for high-demand fixtures: multi-match packs first, then a week of priority for season-ticket holders, then priority for regular attendees and finally the general public. For a sold-out match against Paris Saint-Germain in 2024, the club said only around 600 seats reached general sale.
Season-ticket holders can buy up to four single-match tickets per subscription during their priority window, according to the club. That system rewards loyalty well, but it leaves little room for anyone without a purchase history at the Moustoir.
For overseas buyers, the phased model brings an extra hurdle. Priority windows reward local season-ticket holders and regular attendees, which means first-time visitors from abroad are usually last in line. Many international fans prefer to buy through the marketplace instead.
Le Havre's allocation follows its own route. Away tickets are sold through Le Havre to their supporters and do not reach the open market. Neutral buyers cannot use that route.
The verified resale marketplace is the practical alternative. On 1BoxOffice, sellers list seats in named stands of the Moustoir with the price and delivery method shown up front. Every order is covered by a 150% money-back guarantee.
Watch the fine print on any listing. Some seats come with conditions, such as a named account transfer or a home-area rule on visiting colours. A reputable listing states these up front, so you know exactly what you are buying before you commit.
Timing is the other obstacle. Club sales for individual matches are announced game by game, which can be late for anyone booking trains and hotels in Lorient. Buying on the marketplace lets you secure seats first and plan the trip around them.
Five factors set the price of a seat for this match. Seat location matters most, with central seats on the long sides costing well above the ends. Demand follows the fixture's weekend slot and where both sides stand in the 2026/27 season.
Timing shapes the curve, with prices usually firming in the final fortnight. Competition context counts: a Saturday Ligue 1 fixture between two sides close in the table draws more buyers than a midweek date. Hospitality sits on its own scale.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £30 – £45 | Budget-minded buyers and first-timers | Corners and end seats stay close to the action |
| Longside standard | £40 – £60 | Neutrals wanting a full-pitch view | Jean Floc'h Stand listings often sit at the lower end |
| Lower tier / central | £50 – £80+ | Buyers close to the halfway line | Central Honour Stand rows move fastest |
| Premium seating | £80 – £150+ | Couples and small groups wanting comfort | Confirm whether lounge access is included |
| Hospitality / VIP | £150 – £300+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Lounge or box with food and drink; depends on package |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
This fixture usually offers better value than Lorient's marquee home dates. Visits from Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille or Breton rivals Rennes push every bracket higher, while Le Havre offers the same ground and a comparable atmosphere at a lower entry point. For a first visit to the Moustoir, that makes it a sensible choice.
Two listings at similar prices can offer very different afternoons. A front-row corner seat and a mid-tier seat on the halfway line may cost about the same, yet the second shows you the whole shape of the game. Compare stand and row before you compare price.
Resale prices for this fixture tend to move in three phases. The first listings appear once season-ticket holders confirm what they cannot use. Mid-season brings the widest spread, while the last ten days usually lift central seats and occasionally leave a few end-stand listings behind. If a particular stand matters to you, buy it when you see it.
The Stade du Moustoir sits at the heart of a city-centre sports complex and has been modernised in stages, with a new south stand in 2009 and a hybrid pitch since 2016/17. Its four stands are the Crédit Mutuel de Bretagne Stand (the Honour stand), the Jean Floc'h Stand (the Presidential stand), the Lorient Agglomération Stand at the north end and the B&B Hotels Stand at the south end. Because the ground is compact, almost every seat is close to the pitch, so the choice is mostly about atmosphere and price.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Honour Stand (Crédit Mutuel de Bretagne), central | Buyers after the main broadcast view | Upper to premium | The main long side, with most premium seating |
| Jean Floc'h Stand, central | Neutrals wanting a clear view at a fair price | Mid-range | The opposite long side, calmer than the ends |
| B&B Hotels Stand (south) | Home supporters wanting an end view | Lower to standard | Built in 2009, behind the goal |
| Lorient Agglomération Stand (north), home blocks | Groups and families behind the goal | Lower to mid-range | Shares the north end with the away section |
| Corners | Value seekers | Lower | Angled view at the lowest prices in the ground |
| Away section (Bloc 31, north) | Le Havre supporters | Club allocation | Sold through Le Havre; no Le Havre colours in home areas |
The pitch has its own history. In 2010 the Moustoir became the first Ligue 1 ground with a synthetic surface, according to the club, before switching to a hybrid pitch in 2016/17. The hybrid surface combines natural grass with synthetic fibres, while the modernised stands keep the crowd tight to the touchline.
Neutral buyers should aim for central seats in the Jean Floc'h Stand or the Honour Stand, where you can watch both ends without committing to a side. Because the away section sits in the north end, check that any north-stand seats are clearly in a home block before you buy.
Families usually do best on the long sides or in the home blocks of the north end, where the mood is lively but relaxed. Read the listing notes for any age rules and bring ID for younger supporters if the listing asks for it.
Supporters with access needs should raise them early, since the Moustoir is an older ground modernised in stages. Confirm the facilities of your block with the seller through your order before you pay.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Private box | Corporate hosts and larger groups | A private space with catering and a view of the pitch |
| Lounge dining package | Business guests and couples | A pre-match meal in a lounge with a central seat |
| Premium seat with lounge access | Buyers wanting comfort on a budget | Central seat plus pre-match drinks and snacks |
| Group hospitality | Celebrations and company outings | A shared lounge for a group, with the match as the centrepiece |
Most premium seating sits in the Honour Stand, which gives guests the main view of the pitch. Package names and inclusions change from season to season, so read each listing for the lounge, the seat location and what food and drink are included.
Lorient also sells multi-match packs of two to four games, which often include the higher-demand fixtures of the season. Supporters planning several trips to Brittany can compare those with single-match hospitality before deciding which route suits them.
For a mid-table Ligue 1 fixture, hospitality is often easier to secure than for the marquee dates, when corporate demand peaks. That can make this match a good choice for a first taste of the Moustoir's premium areas, especially for groups planning ahead.
Hospitality also changes the rhythm of a winter afternoon. Guests can arrive early, eat in comfort and skip the queues at the turnstiles. For a client visit or a celebration, that is often worth as much as the seat itself.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket transfer | The seller sends the seat to your club account or app; accept it before matchday |
| E-ticket (PDF or QR code) | Confirm the name, stand, block and row; keep a copy on your phone |
| Paper ticket by courier | Allow enough time for delivery, especially to overseas addresses |
| Local collection | Note the collection point, time window and ID needed; leave time before kick-off |
Mobile delivery is common for Ligue 1 fixtures, with tickets often released to buyers closer to matchday rather than weeks ahead. That is normal for resale and does not mean anything is wrong; the listing notes will say when to expect them.
Read the listing notes before you pay, since they state the delivery method and any restrictions. Bring valid photo ID in case it is requested. Charge your phone fully for mobile entry and turn the brightness up before you reach the turnstile.
The Moustoir is one of the easiest grounds in Ligue 1 to reach without a car. It sits in the city centre, a short walk from Lorient station, so most visitors simply walk in from their hotel or the train. Parking nearby is limited on matchdays, which makes walking the calmer option both ways.
Because the ground is in the centre, the build-up happens in the streets and cafés around it rather than in a stadium car park. Most visitors eat in town, walk to the Moustoir and are home or back at the hotel within minutes of the final whistle.
Arrive in good time. Security checks run at the entrances, with queues building quickly in the last half hour before kick-off. Travel light and leave large bags at your hotel, since storage at the ground is not guaranteed.
1BoxOffice has been a verified ticket marketplace since 2006 with a 150% money-back guarantee on every order, so the steps below take you from browsing to the turnstile with cover at each stage.

Lorient is reachable for overseas buyers with a little planning: the city's small regional airport sits just outside town, while Nantes and Rennes airports connect by road or rail. The TGV also links Paris with Lorient. Choose mobile or e-ticket listings to avoid courier delays. If you are travelling as a group, filter for seats sold together or request adjacent places through your order.
Plan around the scheduling window. Ligue 1 fixes exact kick-off times a few weeks ahead, so a Saturday listing could move to Friday night or Sunday. Book flexible travel, or arrive on Friday and leave on Monday, to stay covered whichever slot the league picks. For a longer trip, football tickets across Europe let you add another match to the same break.
Lorient and Le Havre have met eight times in the top flight, too few at the Moustoir alone to build a meaningful record, so the numbers below cover all of their Ligue 1 meetings at both grounds. The first came in October 1998, in Lorient's first top-flight season. It ended 0-0 at the Moustoir. Lorient then won 0-1 in Le Havre in February 1999.
The clubs know each other well from the second tier too. They have met 13 times in Ligue 2, according to fussballdaten.de, so plenty of supporters on both sides remember games long before the modern top-flight meetings. Those results sit outside the figures on this page, which cover Ligue 1 only.
The fixture returned in 2008/09, when Lorient won 1-3 in Le Havre in December 2008 before a 1-1 draw in Brittany. Since Le Havre's return to Ligue 1 in 2023, the visitors from Normandy have had the upper hand, winning 3-0 at home in September 2023 and 0-2 at the Moustoir in May 2026, with draws of 3-3 and 1-1 in between.
What makes the fixture distinctive is the reversal of home advantage. Lorient have won two of their four Ligue 1 visits to Le Havre but none of their four home meetings at the Moustoir, drawing three and losing one. That gives February a clear storyline: Lorient chasing a first home top-flight win over Le Havre at the fifth attempt.
Le Havre's recent edge has a clear pattern. Since their return to Ligue 1 in 2023 they have taken eight points from four meetings with Lorient, while Lorient have managed only two draws. A first Lorient win in the fixture since 2008 would be a statement result for the home crowd.
The balance overall is almost perfect. After eight meetings each side has two wins and four have been drawn, with Le Havre ahead on goals 11 to 9. Few fixtures in Ligue 1 offer such an even record.
The figures below cover all Ligue 1 meetings between the sides at both venues, from 1998/99 to 2025/26, because only four have been played at the Stade du Moustoir.

The eight meetings have produced 20 goals, an average of 2.5 a game. The 3-3 at the Moustoir in January 2024 accounts for almost a third of them, while four of the other seven finished with at least one side failing to score.
Draws have been the most common result, accounting for half of the eight meetings. Le Havre are unbeaten in the last four, which is why Lorient supporters will treat this February date as a chance to put the record straight.
