This is a late-season date with plenty riding on it. Lyon finished fourth last season and spend this one chasing the European places again, while Brest arrive as a side that has made a habit of scoring in Décines. Six Ligue 1 meetings at the stadium have produced 19 goals, a 4-3 decided in the 16th minute of stoppage time and not a single Brest win.
Below you will find how Lyon sell tickets, what resale seats typically cost, where to sit, the hospitality on offer, getting to the ground and the full Ligue 1 record of the fixture at Groupama Stadium since Brest returned to the top flight in 2019.
Start with the hosts. Lyon finished fourth in 2025/26 with 60 points and were hard to beat at home, winning 12 of their 17 league games at Groupama Stadium. That form, plus a Europa League campaign running alongside the league, keeps interest high in every home date of the spring.
European nights shape the calendar as much as the table. Lyon's Thursday fixtures, such as Lyon vs Union SG on 10 December, can push weekend league games into later slots, and a long run in the competition would do the same in April. That is one reason the confirmed kick-off for this match may only arrive a few weeks out.
Then look at the visitors. Brest finished 12th last season with 39 points, two years after a third-place finish took them into the Champions League. They are a smaller draw than Marseille or Paris Saint-Germain, but they have scored in five of their six league visits to Groupama Stadium, and home fans know these games rarely stay quiet.
The recent crowds tell the same story. Each of the last three meetings drew between roughly 46,000 and 48,000 to a stadium that holds 59,186, so there is usually stock in the upper tier while central longside seats are taken early by season ticket holders. Late April also brings out supporters who skipped the winter fixtures, which tightens supply in the final month.
The run-in adds its own pressure. By late April, places in Europe and the battle at the bottom are taking shape, and either side could have something concrete to play for. A clear target in the table tends to lift local demand in the final fortnight before the match.
Recent form points both ways. Lyon took 37 of a possible 51 points at home last season, while Brest won only three of their 17 league away games. Yet Brest have been ahead at some stage in four of their six league visits here, so few home supporters will treat a Lyon win as a formality.
Yes. Lyon do not run a compulsory membership scheme for a league fixture of this profile. Season ticket holders keep their seats first, then remaining tickets go on sale through the club's online box office to anyone who creates an account.
The limit is choice rather than access. Season ticket holders occupy much of the central East and West Stands, so the general sale tends to offer seats behind the goals, in the upper tier or towards the corners. Groups wanting four or more adjacent seats in a central block often find little left by the time the match is a month away.
Delivery is the other hurdle. Lyon have been moving tickets into the Groupama Stadium app, where each adult holds a personal ticket shown as a QR code that refreshes on screen. That means every adult in your party needs their own account, and a screenshot will not get anyone through the turnstile.
Brest supporters follow a separate route. Tickets for the visiting section are allocated through Stade Brestois rather than Lyon's general sale, and the segregated area is not intended for neutral buyers. With close to 1,000 km between the two cities, the travelling contingent is usually modest, and many fans save their away budget for shorter trips such as Rennais vs Brest, the Breton derby on 5 December.
The resale marketplace covers everything the general sale no longer offers. Sellers list seats they already hold, so buyers can target a particular block, keep a group together or buy after the most popular areas have sold through, with no account at either club required to purchase.
Resale prices for 2026/27 follow five drivers: seat location, demand, timing, competition context and hospitality tier. Brest sit well below the headline visitors at this ground, which makes this one of the more accessible ways into a full-sized Ligue 1 crowd in Lyon. The live listing currently opens at around £14 for the least central seats.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £14 – £35 | Budget-conscious fans | Top-tier seats with a full, high view of the pitch |
| Longside standard | £40 – £70 | First-time visitors | East or West Stand seats a few blocks from halfway |
| Lower tier / central | £60 – £110+ | Fans wanting a balanced view | Halfway-line blocks close to the pitch |
| Premium seating | £100 – £160+ | Couples and small groups | Middle-ring seats along the West Stand; confirm what each listing includes |
| Hospitality / VIP | £150 – £300+ | Celebrations and client hosting | Dining or lounge packages with a match ticket and parking |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
For comparison, the visit of the champions sits in a different bracket. Lyon vs Paris Saint-Germain on 9 May is the most sought-after league date of the Lyon spring, and seats there cost a multiple of the same block for Brest. Buyers who want the Groupama Stadium experience without that premium will find this fixture far kinder on the wallet.
Lyon price their own tickets in euros, while resale listings here appear in pounds, so expect small differences once exchange rates apply at payment. The resale premium sits mainly in the central blocks rather than across the whole stadium, which is why the upper tier offers such strong value for a fixture of this level.
Last-minute buying is a mixed bet. Upper-tier prices can soften in the final days if supply builds, but central and group seats rarely do, and app transfers need time to complete before you travel. Most buyers get the right balance of price and certainty by purchasing once the kick-off time is confirmed.
Groups should move earlier than singles. One or two seats are usually easy to find right up to matchday, but four or more together in a good position become scarce in the final fortnight, and adjacent seats rise in price faster than single ones. If keeping a group together matters more than the exact block, widen the search to the corners of the East or West Stand.
The slot itself moves the market. A Saturday afternoon kick-off suits families and day-trippers, pushing demand into the lower-priced tiers, while a Sunday evening slot tends to shift local interest towards hospitality and central seats.
Groupama Stadium holds 59,186 for football and sits in Décines-Charpieu on the eastern edge of Lyon. The bowl rises in tiers on all four sides, with the premium ring along the longsides and the upper level offering a high, wide view. Before choosing, study the Groupama Stadium seating plan to see how stands, levels and gates connect.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Stand | Home fans who want noise | Lower to mid | The main home kop, home to the Bad Gones and the loudest end of the ground |
| South Stand | Groups on a budget | Lower to mid | The opposite end, with good value in the lower tier |
| West Stand | Premium and hospitality buyers | Mid to premium | Longside with VIP seating in the middle ring |
| East Stand | Neutral buyers and first-time visitors | Mid | The other longside, with side-on views of both ends |
| Upper tier, all stands | Price-focused fans | Lower | The lowest prices in the ground with a full view of the pitch |
| Away section | Brest supporters | Lower | Block 430, extended into block 431 for larger allocations; sold through Brest with a separate entrance |
Neutral buyers usually do well in the East or West Stand away from halfway, with clear sightlines and no need to sit inside the home kop. Brest fans who buy outside the away section should keep red and white shirts and scarves out of sight, as home areas are for home supporters.
Height matters more than position at this ground. The lower tier puts you close to the pitch and the noise, the middle ring brings premium facilities and the upper tier trades proximity for a tactical view of the whole game. For a first visit, a lower or middle-level seat on the East Stand gives the fullest picture of the atmosphere at both ends.
The gate letter on your ticket tells you where to go. Gates A, B, C, Y and Z serve the North Stand, D to K the West Stand, L to Q the South Stand and R to X the East Stand, so confirm yours before leaving the tram to avoid a long walk around the outside.
Seats near the top of the bowl involve a long climb, so allow extra time to reach them. For every other date at the ground this season, including the European nights, the Groupama Stadium tickets listings bring the full calendar together.
Lyon's hospitality leans on the city's food reputation. The stadium has 105 executive suites, and the club sells packages that combine a match ticket and parking with dining before kick-off, with published prices from around €159 for the Brasserie des Lumières to around €300 for the VIP experience.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Brasserie des Lumières | Couples and friends who want a proper meal | A sit-down dinner, a dedicated seat, a match ticket and parking |
| Salon H Expérience | Small groups wanting a relaxed lounge | A pub-style lounge with food and parking, from around €180 |
| VIP experience | Birthdays and special occasions | Entry two and a half hours early, a pitchside view of the warm-up and premium seats |
| Executive suite | Companies hosting clients | A private suite with catering and a view of the pitch |
The VIP experience stands out for a first visit. Guests arrive two and a half hours before kick-off, watch the warm-up from pitchside and then take seats behind the bench or in a premium lounge.
Every published package includes parking, which matters at a stadium where the car parks work on reservation. Against a visitor like Brest, hospitality is often available closer to the date than for the headline fixtures, but spring weekend lounges still sell steadily once the league confirms the slot.
Choosing between the options comes down to priorities. The Brasserie suits fans who want a relaxed meal and a good seat, while the suites and VIP experience are built for entertaining guests from the moment they arrive.
With the Groupama Stadium app now central to entry, resale seats are usually transferred into the buyer's app account rather than sent as a PDF. Confirm the delivery method on the listing before you buy.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| App transfer | That you have installed the Groupama Stadium app, created an account and accepted the transfer so the QR code is ready |
| Kop section ticket | Exactly how the seller will deliver a North Stand ticket, as kop areas have followed a different timetable for the app rollout |
| Group transfer | That each adult has a personal account and the seller has the details for everyone in your party |
| Hospitality booking | The meeting point, arrival time and parking included with the package |
Read the listing notes for delivery timing and any age-band conditions. Parents can usually hold tickets for children under 16 on their own phone, but every adult needs an individual login. Charge your phone fully and carry valid photo ID in case it is requested at the turnstile.
Arrive early if you can. The OL Vallée leisure complex around the stadium opens from mid-morning on matchdays, with restaurants and family activities, so many fans make a day of it and avoid the last-minute crush on the trams. Gates typically open 90 minutes before kick-off, backpacks are refused and only small A4-sized bags are admitted.
Tram T7 stops at Décines OL Vallée beside the stadium and tram T3 stops at Décines Grand Large, around 800 metres away. On matchdays, shuttles run from Part-Dieu Villette and Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie, with buses from the Meyzieu Les Panettes park and ride.
Drivers should plan ahead. The Meyzieu Les Panettes and Eurexpo Chassieu park and ride sites hold 3,200 and 5,000 spaces, while the stadium's own car parks are reservation only.

Lyon is well connected for overseas visitors. Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport lies on the same eastern side of the city as the stadium, and the Rhônexpress tram links it with Part-Dieu in around half an hour. Part-Dieu also connects Lyon with high-speed trains from Paris in around two hours, so a Saturday morning arrival can still work for an afternoon kick-off.
App delivery is the main thing to sort before you fly. Download the Groupama Stadium app at home, make sure every adult in your party has a login and give the seller those details if you are buying seats together. Requesting adjacent seats through the listing filters is far easier than trying to swap seats inside the ground.
Brest supporters face one of the longest trips of their season. The journey by high-speed train usually means a change in Paris and six to seven hours in total, so most travelling fans make a weekend of it rather than attempting a same-day return.
Lyon rewards a longer stay. The old town, the Presqu'île and the bouchons serving local cooking are all within easy reach of Part-Dieu, and a Saturday afternoon kick-off leaves the evening free for dinner in the city. Staying near Part-Dieu keeps both the tram shuttles and the airport link a short walk away.
Plan the journey home as carefully as the journey out. Tram shuttles back to Part-Dieu fill quickly at full time, so allow at least an hour between the final whistle and any evening train or flight, and longer if you are leaving from the airport.
Visitors planning to see both meetings this season can also look at Brest vs Lyon, listed for Sunday 8 November 2026 at the Stade Francis-Le Blé. Capacity there is around a quarter of Groupama Stadium's, so stock for the Brittany leg is far tighter.
Brest spent most of the 1980s in the top flight, but their meetings with Lyon only became a regular fixture in the 2010s. Lyon were a Champions League regular when Brest returned to Ligue 1 in 2010, and three league visits to the old Stade de Gerland brought two narrow Lyon wins and a 1-1 draw. Brest dropped back down in 2013 and only returned in 2019, by which time Lyon had moved to their new home in Décines.
The first meeting at Groupama Stadium came in the Coupe de la Ligue quarter-finals in January 2020, a 3-1 Lyon win on the way to the final. Since then, the league games have been tight and often chaotic. Brest have taken the lead in four of the six meetings, yet Lyon have come from behind every time to avoid defeat.
That is what gives the fixture its edge. Lyon have never lost to Brest at Groupama Stadium in Ligue 1, yet every one of their three wins came by a single goal, and Brest have scored in five of six visits. The 4-3 in April 2024 also changed both seasons: Lyon climbed from tenth to seventh that weekend on the way to a sixth-place finish after sitting bottom in December, while Brest held on to finish third and reach the Champions League.
