Buy Lyon vs Toulouse tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Ligue 1 fixture set for matchday 22 on the weekend of 27 February 2027 at Groupama Stadium. The league confirms the exact day and kick-off time a few weeks beforehand, so keep your plans flexible until the schedule is published. Lyon already won the reverse fixture 2-0 in Toulouse on the opening weekend of the season, which gives February's return a clear storyline.

Groupama Stadium holds 59,186 for football, so this is not a fixture where every seat vanishes in minutes. What does sell through is the stock most buyers want: central longside seats in the lower and middle tiers, pairs and groups seated together and the lower-priced seats behind the goals. For anyone planning around Lyon tickets this season, choosing the right area early matters more than simply getting through the turnstile.
This guide covers how tickets are sold and delivered, what resale seats typically cost, where to sit, the hospitality on offer and the full record of every Ligue 1 meeting at this ground since it opened.
Start with the form guide at this ground. Lyon won each of their first four Ligue 1 home games against Toulouse at Groupama Stadium without conceding more than once in total and went seven meetings unbeaten here before Toulouse finally won 2-1 in October 2025. That defeat changed the tone of the fixture. Lyon supporters will want it put right and Toulouse arrive knowing they can win here.
Then there is the visiting side. Supporters planning their own trips with Toulouse tickets this season face a journey of more than 500 kilometres across France, which makes this one of the longer away days on their calendar. The away section is segregated high up in a corner of the stadium, so Toulouse fans who want to sit together should book through the away allocation rather than hoping to find seats elsewhere in the ground.
Timing matters too. A late-February weekend fixture sits in the heart of the Ligue 1 season, when points carry weight at both ends of the table and Lyon's European commitments can shape the domestic calendar. Weekend kick-offs also draw families and day visitors from across the Lyon metropolitan area, which pushes up demand for the more affordable seats.
The day itself is part of the appeal. The OL Vallée leisure complex around the stadium opens its attractions from mid-morning on matchdays, with entertainment for families before the gates open, so many fans make a full afternoon of it rather than arriving just before kick-off.
Hospitality has its own pattern. Packages such as the Brasserie des Lumières dining experience and the Salon H lounge are priced per match and limited in number, so groups wanting to eat together before kick-off tend to book weeks ahead rather than days.
Yes and that sets Lyon apart from many clubs. For most league fixtures, Lyon sell tickets through their online box office after season ticket holders have taken their seats, so a membership is not usually required for a game of this profile. The catch is choice: season ticket holders occupy a large share of the prime central seats and the most popular blocks can sell out well before matchday.
There is a second hurdle for overseas fans. From 17 September 2026, Lyon made the Groupama Stadium app mandatory for presenting tickets, with each adult needing a personal ticket in the app that displays a dynamic QR code. The rollout is happening stand by stand, with the kop sections exempt for now, but buyers outside France should expect to set up the app and an account before matchday.
Families get some flexibility within the app rules. Parents can display tickets for children under 16 on their own phone, while every adult in a group still needs a personal ticket on their own account.
Toulouse supporters follow a different route. Tickets for the visiting section are usually allocated through Toulouse's own channels rather than Lyon's general sale and the segregated area is not designed for neutral buyers.
A verified marketplace fills the gaps. Sellers on 1BoxOffice list specific seats they already hold, which lets you choose a particular block, secure seats together for a group or buy after the club's preferred areas have sold through, all without a history with either club.
Resale prices for 2026/27 follow five drivers: seat location, demand, how close to the match you buy, competition context and hospitality tier. A Ligue 1 game against Toulouse sits below the Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain fixtures in price, but central seats and group bookings still firm up as February approaches. Uncertainty over the exact date also holds some sellers back until the league confirms the kick-off.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £20 – £40 | Budget-conscious fans | Level 3 seats with a full view of the pitch from height |
| Behind the goal, lower tier | £30 – £55 | Atmosphere seekers | North and South Stand ends, close to the home support |
| Longside standard | £45 – £80 | First-time visitors | East or West Stand seats away from the halfway line |
| Central longside, lower and middle tiers | £70 – £120+ | Fans wanting a balanced view | Halfway-line blocks where availability is tightest |
| Hospitality / VIP | £150 – £300+ | Couples, clients and celebrations | 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.
Lyon price tickets in euros, while resale listings on this page are shown in pounds, so expect small differences once exchange rates are applied at checkout. The resale premium tends to be concentrated in the most sought-after blocks rather than spread evenly across the whole ground.
Group buyers should watch the central blocks in particular. Single seats are usually easy to find, but four or more together in a strong position become harder to secure in the final fortnight and prices for adjacent seats rise faster than for singles.
Groupama Stadium opened in January 2016 in Décines-Charpieu, east of Lyon, with three-tiered stands on all four sides. The middle ring along the sides is reserved for VIP and premium guests, while the upper tier gives a wide, elevated view. Before choosing, study the Groupama Stadium seating plan to see how the four stands, levels and gates fit together.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Stand | Home fans who want noise | Lower to mid | Home to Lyon's loudest supporters; one of the kop areas currently exempt from the app rollout |
| South Stand | Groups on a budget | Lower to mid | Behind-the-goal end with a lively atmosphere and good value in the lower tier |
| West Stand | Premium and hospitality buyers | Mid to premium | Longside stand with VIP seating in the middle ring and strong central views |
| East Stand | Neutral buyers and first-time visitors | Mid | Opposite longside with side-on views of both ends |
| Upper tier, all stands | Price-focused fans | Lower | Level 3 seats offer the lowest prices with a full view of the pitch from height |
| Away section | Toulouse supporters | Lower to mid | Segregated section high up in a corner of the stadium with its own access route; buy through the away allocation |
Height changes the experience more than location at this ground. Lower-tier seats put you close to the noise and the pitch, the middle ring brings the premium facilities and the upper tier trades proximity for a tactical, full-pitch view that suits fans who like to watch shape and movement rather than individual duels.
Neutral buyers and undecided fans usually do well in the East or West Stand away from the halfway line, where you get clear sightlines without sitting inside the home kop. If you are a Toulouse fan who ends up in a home area, keep colours out of sight; home sections are for home supporters.
Your gate letter tells you which side of the stadium to head for. Gates A, B, C, Y and Z serve the North Stand, L to Q the South Stand, R to X the East Stand and D to K the West Stand, so a quick look at your ticket before you leave the tram saves a long walk around the outside of the ground.
Families and first-time visitors often prefer the lower and middle tiers of the longside stands, where the atmosphere is lively but calmer than behind the goals. Seats at the top of the stadium involve a long climb, so allow extra time to reach them.

Lyon's premium matchday offer leans into the city's food reputation. The stadium has 105 executive suites and the club sells packages that bundle a match ticket and parking with dining before kick-off. Published prices start at around €159 for the Brasserie des Lumières package and rise to around €300 for the VIP experience with early access.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Brasserie des Lumières package | Food-focused couples and friends | A sit-down meal at the stadium's brasserie, a dedicated seat, a match ticket and parking |
| Salon H Expérience | Supporter groups wanting a private feel | A pub-style lounge with a meal, parking and a match ticket, from around €180 |
| VIP experience | Fans marking a special occasion | Entry two and a half hours before kick-off, a view of the warm-up and premium seating |
| Executive suite | Companies hosting clients | A private suite for the match with catering and a pitch view |
The VIP experience is the most distinctive of the packages. Guests arrive two and a half hours before kick-off, greet the players, watch the warm-up from pitchside and then take seats either behind the bench or in a premium lounge, which makes it a strong choice for a birthday or a first visit to the club.
Every published package includes parking, which matters at a stadium where on-site car parks often fill and do not sell spaces on the day. For a group booking, secure hospitality once the date is confirmed rather than waiting for matchday week.
Delivery at Lyon has changed this season. The Groupama Stadium app is now mandatory for presenting tickets in most sections, so the majority of resale seats will be transferred into the buyer's app account rather than sent as a PDF. Confirm the delivery method on your listing before you buy.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Transfer to the Groupama Stadium app | Install the app, create your account and accept the transfer so the dynamic QR code is ready at the gate |
| Kop section e-ticket | Kop areas are exempt during the rollout; confirm how the seller will deliver and that the ticket matches your seat |
| Group transfer | Each adult needs a personal ticket in the app, so give the seller the account details for everyone in your party |
| Hospitality package confirmation | Confirm the meeting point, arrival time and parking details included with your package |
Do not rely on a screenshot. Because the QR code in the app is dynamic, a saved image of a ticket is unlikely to scan at the gate, so make sure the transferred ticket appears in your own account well before you travel. If it has not arrived as matchday approaches, use your order tracking and contact support rather than waiting until you reach the stadium.
Read the listing notes carefully, especially any age-band restrictions. Bring valid photo ID in case it is requested and charge your phone fully, because the dynamic QR code is generated in the app. Gates typically open 90 minutes before kick-off and only small bags and pouches are admitted, so leave backpacks and travel bags at your hotel.
Getting there is straightforward once you know the routes. Tram T7 stops at Décines OL Vallée right by the stadium, while tram T3 stops at Décines Grand Large, around 800 metres away. On matchdays, tram shuttles run from Part-Dieu Villette and Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie, with bus shuttles from the Meyzieu Les Panettes park and ride; journeys take around 15 minutes. Stadium car parks are reservation-only, so public transport is usually the simpler choice.
Drivers need to plan ahead. The Meyzieu Les Panettes and Eurexpo Chassieu park and ride sites hold 3,200 and 5,000 spaces respectively, with shuttles to the ground, while the stadium's own 5,000-space car park is available by reservation only. Cyclists can use free, supervised bike parking at the North-West entrance.

For a fixture with plenty of seats but uneven demand across the stadium, value comes from knowing where to look. These five habits make a real difference.
Overseas buyers are well served in Lyon. The stadium sits on the eastern side of the city, the same side as Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport and Part-Dieu station links Lyon with high-speed trains from Paris and beyond. Most visitors base themselves in the city centre and use the matchday tram shuttles from Part-Dieu Villette, which take around 15 minutes.
Plan for the app before you travel. Download the Groupama Stadium app at home, set up your account and make sure every adult in your party has their own login, because each person needs a personal ticket. Fans in Lyon for a long weekend can also look ahead to the club's continental nights, such as Lyon vs Crystal Palace in the Europa League.
Lyon itself rewards a longer stay. The city's reputation for food is a draw in its own right and the old town and Presqu'île districts make a natural base, with Part-Dieu a short hop away for the matchday shuttles. Toulouse supporters making the trip face a long journey across France, so many will travel the day before and stay overnight.
The main risk for travellers is the date itself. Matchday 22 could fall on the Friday, Saturday or Sunday of that weekend, so book flexible flights and hotels, allow a night either side and avoid committing to non-refundable travel until the league sets the kick-off.
Lyon built their modern identity on dominance, winning seven consecutive Ligue 1 titles between 2002 and 2008 and moved from Gerland to their new stadium in January 2016. Toulouse's first league visit to the new ground came in March 2017 and set the pattern for years: Lyon won 4-0, then 2-0 in 2018, 5-1 in 2019 and 3-0 in January 2020. In those four games Toulouse scored once.
Toulouse's relegation in 2020 broke the run. They returned as Ligue 2 champions in 2022, won the Coupe de France in 2023 and came back to Lyon a more competitive side, drawing 1-1 in October 2022 and 0-0 in January 2025. In October 2025 they finally won at Groupama Stadium, beating Lyon 2-1 for their first league win at the ground.
What makes the fixture distinctive is how sharply the balance has shifted. Lyon won the first four meetings here by a combined 14-1, but the last four have brought one Lyon win, two draws and a Toulouse victory. With Lyon's 2-0 win at the Stadium de Toulouse on the opening weekend of 2026/27, February's return has the added edge of a side looking to complete a double and an opponent looking to repeat last season's shock.
The figures below cover all Ligue 1 meetings at Groupama Stadium with Lyon as hosts, from the first in March 2017 to the present.
| Metric | Total |
|---|---|
| Matches played | 8 |
| Lyon wins | 5 |
| Toulouse wins | 1 |
| Draws | 2 |
| Lyon goals | 19 |
| Toulouse goals | 4 |
| Biggest Lyon win | 5-1 and 4-0 |
| Biggest Toulouse win | 1-2 |
| First Ligue 1 meeting in scope | 12 Mar 2017 |
| Most recent meeting in scope | 5 Oct 2025 |
Figures calculated from the match-by-match results below, cross-referenced across ESPN, StatMuse and matchendirect.fr.
The pattern behind the totals is clear. Lyon have kept five clean sheets in eight home league games against Toulouse at the stadium, but two of Toulouse's four goals here came in the most recent meeting, a sign that the old gap has narrowed.
Toulouse have never scored more than twice in a league game at the stadium and have found the net in only three of their eight visits. That record makes their 2-1 win in October 2025 stand out even more and it is a big part of why February's meeting carries more uncertainty than the overall numbers suggest.
All results are listed newest first, with the Lyon score shown first.
| Date | Score |
|---|---|
| 05 Oct 2025 | 1-2 |
| 18 Jan 2025 | 0-0 |
| 10 Dec 2023 | 3-0 |
| 07 Oct 2022 | 1-1 |
| 26 Jan 2020 | 3-0 |
| 03 Mar 2019 | 5-1 |
| 01 Apr 2018 | 2-0 |
| 12 Mar 2017 | 4-0 |

No, membership is not usually required for a league game of this profile. Resale is mainly useful for securing a specific block or seats together once the preferred areas sell through.
Shortly after the league confirms the date and kick-off, when the most listings appear together. Groups should buy early, as adjacent seats in good positions thin out first.
Visiting supporters are housed in a segregated section high up in a corner of the stadium with its own access route. Expect a long climb, so arrive in good time.
In most sections, yes, because tickets are now shown as a dynamic QR code in the app. The kop sections are exempt while the rollout continues.
No, backpacks, travel bags and luggage are refused for security reasons. Only small bags and pouches are allowed through the gates.
