Buy Nice vs Monaco tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match listed for Saturday 22 May 2027 and kick-off currently set for 15:00 at the Allianz Riviera. It falls on Matchday 33, the penultimate round of Ligue 1, so the Derby de la Côte d'Azur lands just as the season's final outcomes are being decided. The league confirms kick-off times a few weeks before each round to suit broadcasters. The February 2024 meeting here kicked off at 20:45 on a Sunday evening, so the slot can still move.

Barely 20 kilometres of coastline separate the two clubs, yet the gap in identity feels far wider. Nice are the city club with a loud, demanding home crowd. Monaco represent the principality, backed by a smaller but loyal following that can reach the stadium in well under an hour. For every home date across the campaign, our OGC Nice listings cover the full season on the Riviera.
The record at this ground makes the case for buying early. Thirteen Ligue 1 meetings here since 2013 have produced five Nice wins, six for Monaco and two draws. The most recent, in February 2026, finished goalless. Neither side owns this fixture, which is exactly why it fills the stands.
The Allianz Riviera holds 36,178 for football. On an ordinary league weekend there is room to spare, with Nice averaging 24,389 for league matches in 2023/24. The derby is a different proposition. Short travel brings Monaco supporters along the coast in numbers, while neutrals living on the Côte d'Azur and visitors on spring breaks add a layer of demand that routine fixtures never see.
AS Monaco carry a following that is modest by the standards of France's larger clubs but unusually committed to this trip. Away seats are sold through the club's own ticketing. For the February 2024 meeting they cost just €10, with sales closing at 10:00 on matchday. Low prices and a short journey mean the visitors' corner rarely goes unfilled.
The first instalment of the season comes much earlier. Monaco vs Nice at the Stade Louis II is scheduled for the weekend of 2 January 2027. Whatever happens in the principality in midwinter will shape the mood on the Var valley in May, either as a debt to repay or a run to protect.
Timing raises the temperature further. As the penultimate round, this is the last derby of the campaign and one of the final chances for either side to change its season. Monaco are also competing in the Conference League in 2026/27. A long European run would add midweek fixtures into the spring, which can push a league date by a day once broadcast slots are set.
Corporate demand follows the same curve. Businesses from both Nice and Monaco treat the derby as a showpiece date on the Riviera calendar. Boxes and Business Club places therefore tend to go well before general sale stock does, leaving little premium inventory in the final weeks.
The calendar works against late planners too. Late May is peak event season on the Côte d'Azur, with hotel demand rising right along the coast. Visitors who secure match seats first and accommodation second often find that rooms in central Nice have become the harder purchase.
Yes, though it takes planning. Nice sell single-match seats through the club's online ticket office once season ticket holders are accommodated. A large share of the home sections is committed before general sale opens, so the stock left for one-off buyers is limited for a fixture of this profile.
Derby fixtures typically sit in a higher price category than routine league matches. That category gap reflects demand. When general sale does open for late-season rounds, it can be only a few weeks before the match, once the league has fixed the date and the club has finalised its allocation plans.
Club tickets can be issued in the buyer's name. Photo ID may be requested at the turnstiles on derby day, so the name on any ticket should match the person attending. Buyers who plan to pass a club ticket to a friend should confirm the name-change rules first.
Monaco supporters buy through the club's ticketing routes, which issue e-tickets and require valid ID at entry. For recent derbies in Nice, the club has advised travelling fans to avoid the stadium's south side and to keep club colours out of sight around the city. That advice matters for anyone hoping to buy a neutral seat with friends from the other side.
Travelling Monaco fans also get practical support from their club. AS Monaco has run a WhatsApp group with live updates for supporters heading to the match and has encouraged carpooling, since the stadium has no dedicated parking for visitors. For the February 2024 derby, the away section opened two hours before kick-off.
The resale market is the practical alternative for everyone else. Verified sellers on 1BoxOffice list seats across the bowl, with the stand, the number of seats together and the delivery method shown on each listing before you pay. That transparency is useful for a fixture where segregation and name rules matter more than usual.
Five factors move the price of a seat for the derby: its position in the bowl, demand in the week of the match, how close the date is, the stakes in the 2026/27 table and whether hospitality is included. Listings currently start at around £68, which places this fixture well above an ordinary home match at the Allianz Riviera.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier, ends and corners | £68 – £95 | Budget buyers | High and distant, with the whole pitch in view |
| Longside upper and outer blocks | £85 – £130 | First-time visitors | Side-on view at a lower price than the centre |
| Lower tier, central longside | £120 – £190+ | Neutrals and couples | The broadcast angle in Segurane or Garibaldi, usually first to sell |
| Premium seating | £180 – £300+ | Buyers wanting comfort | Padded central seats close to the VIP areas |
| Hospitality / VIP | £280 – £700+ | Corporate guests, special occasions | Business Club or private box with catering |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The penultimate-round date adds a variable most fixtures lack. If either side still has a European place or a points target in play, prices tend to climb through the final fortnight. If little is left to decide, late listings from season ticket holders who have made other plans can soften the market in the last few days.
The gap between club face value and resale is wider here than for most Nice home matches. Away seats sold by Monaco have been priced as low as €10, yet the general sale stock in home and neutral areas is thin. Once club allocations are gone, the open market sets the price.
Hospitality moves least. Packages are priced per head and boxes hold small groups, so the cost is driven more by the product than by the opponent. Derby boxes still sell faster than almost any other date on the Allianz Riviera calendar, so waiting rarely brings a lower price at that end of the market.
Compare listings on more than the headline figure. Two seats at a similar price can differ by tier, row and distance from the away corner, which changes the experience far more than a few pounds. The listing notes also show whether a seat sits in a home-only area where visiting colours are not allowed.
The stadium opened in September 2013, replacing the Stade du Ray in the city centre. It is a three-tier bowl with every seat under the roof. The two longside stands are named Segurane and Garibaldi, while the Populaire Sud behind one goal is home to the most vocal Nice support. The Allianz Riviera seating plan shows how the tiers and corners fit together.
There is no running track, so even the upper tier sits close to the action. The enclosed design holds the noise well, which suits a derby so often settled by a single goal. Late May on the coast is usually warm. The roof offers welcome shade for an afternoon kick-off.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Segurane or Garibaldi, central lower and middle tiers | Neutrals wanting the classic angle | Premium | Closest to the VIP areas in the east and west stands; first to sell |
| Longside upper tier | Value on the longsides | Mid | Steeper rake with the full shape of the game in view |
| Populaire Sud | Nice supporters wanting noise | Mid | Home of the ultras; flags, songs and standing throughout |
| North Stand, home blocks | Groups and lower-priced seats | Lower to mid | Next to the away corner, separated by segregation |
| Corners away from the visitors | Families and first visits | Lower to mid | Calmer areas with good diagonal views |
| Away section (north-east corner, C1 to C3) | Monaco supporters | Club allocation | Behind protective glass across the tiers; sold through AS Monaco; no Monaco colours elsewhere in the ground |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans will feel most comfortable in the Segurane or Garibaldi stands, well away from both the Populaire Sud and the north-east corner. Groups mixing Nice and Monaco supporters should choose a central longside block and keep scarves in the bag until they are home. All matchday options sit within our Allianz Riviera tickets range.
The Populaire Sud deserves a specific note. It is the place for buyers who want the full derby experience, with choreographed displays and constant singing, but not for anyone hoping to sit for 90 minutes. Monaco supporters have been asked by the authorities to avoid the south side of the stadium entirely, so it is no place for visiting colours.
Families do well in the corners furthest from the away section, where the crowd is calmer and exits are quicker. The North Stand home blocks offer some of the lower prices in the ground, though their position next to the visitors brings more noise and a heavier stewarding presence at full time.
Hospitality at the Allianz Riviera covers around 10,000 square metres. The stadium has 44 VIP boxes, split evenly between the east and west stands, alongside the OGC Nice Business Club.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Business Club seats | Couples and small groups | Central seats with lounge access and catering |
| VIP boxes (west stand) | Corporate hosts | Private box for 12 to 24 guests with a direct pitch view |
| VIP boxes (east stand) | Private parties | The same format on the opposite longside |
| Matchday packages | Fans marking an occasion | A premium seat combined with food, drink and stadium extras |
Boxes and Business Club places are largely sold by the season to local companies, so single-match stock for the derby is limited. When a package does appear for this fixture, confirm exactly what is included before you pay. Seat location, food and drink, parking and lounge opening times all vary from one listing to the next.
For guests new to French football, hospitality is also the calmest way to experience a derby with this much edge. Guests use a separate entrance, watch from the centre of the ground and avoid the busiest concourses at full time. On a warm May afternoon, an indoor lounge before and after the match is a practical bonus too.
Compare the full cost of the day before deciding. A central lower-tier seat plus food and drink inside the ground can come close to an entry-level Business Club place, which adds lounge access and a calmer arrival. For a couple marking an occasion, that gap is often smaller than expected.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | When the ticket transfers to your phone and which name it carries |
| E-ticket (PDF) | A clear barcode and a holder name that matches the attendee's ID |
| Name change | Enough time for the seller to update the holder before the deadline |
| Hospitality booking | The VIP entrance, lounge opening time and the name on the booking |
Read the listing notes before paying, since they state the delivery type, the expected delivery date and any name-change step. Bring valid photo ID that matches the name on the ticket. Charge your phone fully for mobile entry, as signal slows when a full crowd arrives at the gates.
Large bags, flares and pyrotechnics are prohibited. The league closed the Populaire Sud for two matches in early 2024 as a sanction for pyrotechnics, so stewards take searches at the outer cordon seriously. Travel light and leave anything bulky at your hotel to get through the turnstiles quickly.
The stadium sits in the Var valley on the western edge of Nice, about 10 kilometres from the old town. A matchday tram runs from Port Lympia towards the ground. Nice Saint-Augustin station connects with the tram network, while bus lines 11 and 59 also serve the stadium.
Drivers should allow extra time, as there is no designated car park for visiting supporters, though parking is available in and around the site. Arrive early on derby day. Security screening is more thorough than for a normal league match, with queues building in the final hour before kick-off. After the whistle, visiting supporters can be held inside briefly while the home crowd disperses.

Overseas buyers should favour mobile or PDF delivery, which needs no postal step and arrives wherever you are staying. If you are booking for a group, filter for listings marked as seats together, since a near-full stadium leaves few adjacent seats free in the final week. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport sits on the western side of the city, close to the stadium, with direct flights from across Europe and the Gulf. That makes a same-day trip realistic for anyone arriving on the morning of the match.
The 22 May date is listed, but Ligue 1 rounds can move by a day once broadcast slots are set, so book flexible flights or a refundable night on either side. Visitors basing themselves in the principality can reach Nice by regional train along the coast in roughly 20 to 25 minutes, then connect to the stadium. Monaco's season closes at home a week later, so a longer Riviera stay can take in Monaco vs Troyes at the Stade Louis II as well.
The Allianz Riviera chapter of this rivalry began badly for Nice. Monaco, newly back in the top flight, won 3-0 here in December 2013 and then took the next two meetings as well. The first was a 1-0 in February 2015, settled by an 85th-minute winner after the visitors had played the whole second half with ten men. The second was a 2-1 comeback on the opening day of 2015/16, after Nice had led at half time.
Nice answered emphatically. Back-to-back 4-0 wins in September 2016 and September 2017 remain the heaviest results in either direction at this ground. The first of them sent Nice to the top of Ligue 1. A 2-0 win on the final day of 2018/19 followed, then a late 2-1 victory in March 2020 in the last round played before the 2019/20 season was halted.
The recent meetings have rarely been comfortable for either side. Nice came from a goal down at half time to draw 2-2 in September 2021, while the 3-2 in February 2024 was level at the break before Monaco found a winner. None of the last six games here has been decided by more than a single goal.
Since November 2020 the pendulum has swung back towards Monaco, with three wins for the visitors in six meetings here. Nice's 2-1 win in October 2024 and the goalless draw in February 2026 leave the fixture finely balanced heading into May. What makes this derby distinctive is how little the home crowd can take for granted: Monaco have more wins at this stadium than the hosts, yet Nice own both of the heaviest scorelines.
Figures cover every Ligue 1 meeting at the Allianz Riviera with Nice as hosts, from 2013/14 to 2025/26. Cup ties and all matches at the Stade Louis II are excluded. Nice have kept four clean sheets in these 13 games, while Monaco have scored in nine of them. Nice average just over 1.5 goals a game here, Monaco just over 1.2.

Visiting supporters are housed in the north-east corner behind protective glass, with seats sold through Monaco's own ticketing. Anyone wearing Monaco colours should stay out of home sections, especially the south side.
The sweet spot is usually just after the kick-off time is confirmed, a few weeks out. Waiting until the last two days risks paying more if the table is still open.
Yes, provided the listing states the seats are sold together. Pairs and groups are easier to find in the upper tiers than in central lower blocks.
Most seats for this match are delivered as mobile tickets or PDF e-tickets. Each listing names the method before you pay.
Yes, though single-match boxes are scarce because most are sold by the season to local firms. Business Club seats appear more often and include lounge access with catering.
