Buy Paris Saint-Germain vs AJ Auxerre tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match set for Matchday 17 on the weekend of Saturday 23 January 2027 at the Parc des Princes. The league confirms exact kick-off times a few weeks before each round, and the listing updates as soon as the slot is announced. It is the first of two league meetings this season, with the return in Burgundy following in March.

Watching the European champions at home is one of the hardest tickets to find in French football, and a winter league fixture against Auxerre is one of the more realistic ways in. The Parc des Princes holds just under 48,000, and with season ticket holders taking most of the ground, every home game draws far more demand than there are seats.
This fixture also carries real history. The two clubs have met 35 times in the league at the Parc since December 1980, and for more than two decades Auxerre could not buy a win here. That record, and the chance to see Paris up close in January, is why seats for the match go early.
Paris Saint-Germain won the Ligue 1 title in both 2024/25 and 2025/26 and retained the Champions League in May 2026. That success has turned every home fixture into a sell-out, not just the headline games against Marseille or Lyon. Visitors from across Europe, the Gulf and further afield now plan trips around league dates at the Parc, and many of them target fixtures like this one because they are easier to secure than European nights.
The visitors bring their own following. Supporters of AJ Auxerre make the trip from Burgundy, a drive of around two hours. The club's return to Ligue 1 in 2024 revived one of the classic fixtures of the 1990s. Auxerre finished 15th last season and will want points wherever they can find them, which gives the game an edge that goes beyond the league table.
Timing plays a part too. A Saturday fixture in late January falls in a quiet spell for tourism in Paris, but it falls between the final rounds of the Champions League league phase, so international buyers often combine a league game with a longer city break. That spread of buyers keeps demand steady across the ground, from the upper corners to the central sections.
Hospitality is the other pressure point. The Parc's lounges and boxes sell out for most home games, and corporate buyers in Paris book the winter fixtures well in advance. Once those are gone, demand for premium seats moves into the central sections of the side stands.
The atmosphere is a draw in its own right. Because the roof and stands wrap tightly around the pitch, the Parc traps sound in a way few modern grounds can match, and the singing from Virage Auteuil rarely stops for the full 90 minutes. For many overseas visitors, the noise is as much the reason to go as the football, and a league game against Auxerre offers the full Parc experience at a fraction of the price of a European night.
Rarely through the club. Most of the Parc is taken by season ticket holders, and the remaining seats go first to members in presale phases. For a fixture like this, the members' window usually clears the stock long before anything reaches general sale.
Even membership does not guarantee a seat. Demand from members has grown with every title, and presale windows can sell out within hours. Overseas buyers and first-time visitors who are not in the club's system rarely get a realistic chance through club channels, and there is often a waiting list just to join the season ticket queue.
On 1BoxOffice, you do not need a membership, a season ticket or a presale code. Sellers list seats they already hold, the price is shown before you pay and every order is covered by the 150% money-back guarantee. You can choose a stand, filter for seats together and buy without waiting for a sales window.
Supply on the resale market comes mainly from season ticket holders who cannot attend. Listings appear gradually, and many surface once the kick-off time is confirmed and holders know whether the slot suits them. If the section you want is not listed on your first visit, check again after the time is announced.
Auxerre supporters follow a separate route. The visiting club sells its allocation to its own members and supporter groups, and most travel together by coach from Burgundy. Fans who miss out and buy in the home areas must keep colours covered, as the seating section below explains.
Five factors shape what you pay for seats at the match. Seat location comes first, with central lower-tier seats on the long sides priced far above the upper corners. Demand from overseas visitors, the confirmed matchday slot, the Ligue 1 context in January and the hospitality tier you choose all move the total. The ranges below reflect typical resale pricing for the 2026/27 season.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £75 – £130 | Budget-conscious buyers and first-time visitors | High view over the whole pitch; the stands are steep and close |
| Longside standard | £110 – £190 | Couples and small groups wanting a balanced view | Good sightlines without the central premium |
| Lower tier / central | £170 – £300+ | Buyers who want to be close to the action | Near the halfway line; limited resale supply |
| Premium seating | £260 – £450+ | Buyers wanting a padded seat and a prime angle | Central sections of the side stands |
| Hospitality / VIP | £450 – £1,000+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Lounge access, dining and premium seating |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
For context, this sits at the more accessible end of the Parc's home schedule. The visits of Marseille and Lyon, and every Champions League night, draw far higher prices, so a league game against Auxerre is often the better-value way to see Paris at home. Buyers who want a central view without the top-end cost should focus on the upper tiers of the side stands.
Watch how prices move in the final fortnight. Once the kick-off time is fixed, some season ticket holders who cannot make the slot list their seats, which can bring fresh supply into the central sections. At the same time, late demand from visitors who have just booked their trip can push prices up, so buyers who already know their dates are usually better off securing seats early.
The Parc is a compact, fully enclosed bowl with four steep stands sitting almost on top of the pitch, which is why the noise carries so well. The two long sides, Tribune Paris and Tribune Borelli, hold the central seating and most of the premium areas, while the ends, Virage Auteuil and the Kop de Boulogne, are home to the club's most vocal support. Before choosing, check the block layout on the Parc des Princes seating plan, which shows how each tier and section sits relative to the halfway line.
Visiting supporters are placed in an upper corner by the Auteuil end, with their own entrance on the Paris Stand side of the ground. The section is separated from the home areas and closely stewarded, so Auxerre fans who hold home-area tickets should keep colours covered to avoid being moved or refused entry.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Virage Auteuil | Home fans who want to sing and stand | Mid-range | The loudest part of the ground; rarely available on resale |
| Kop de Boulogne | Home fans who want atmosphere behind the goal | Mid-range | Intense home support; expect to stand for long spells |
| Side stands, lower tier | Buyers wanting the classic broadcast angle | Upper-mid to premium | Close to the dugouts and tunnel; heavy demand |
| Side stands, upper tier | Buyers who want a tactical overview | Mid-range | Full view of shape and movement; a better-value central option |
| Upper corners | Budget-minded buyers and groups | Lower-priced | More seats together are often available here |
| Away section, upper corner by Auteuil | Auxerre supporters with away-allocation tickets | Lower-priced | Dedicated entrance on the Paris Stand side; colours only in this area |
Neutral buyers and first-time visitors usually get the most from the upper tiers of the side stands, where the whole pitch is visible and the singing from both ends carries across the bowl. Auxerre fans without an away ticket should pick the side stands rather than seats near either end, and keep scarves and shirts out of sight until they leave the ground.
A couple of practical points help with the final choice. The first rows of the lower tier are very close to pitch level, which is thrilling for atmosphere but flattens the view of the far side, so buyers who want to follow the game often prefer seats further back. The upper tiers are steep, so allow extra time on the stairs, especially if you arrive close to kick-off.
The Parc has been steadily upgraded for corporate guests, with lounges, business seats and private boxes along the side stands. For a January fixture, the appeal is simple: a warm lounge before kick-off, proper French dining and a central seat under the roof.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Business seat with lounge access | Individuals and pairs | Central seat plus pre-match food and drinks |
| Premium restaurant package | Clients and celebration groups | Seated dining with a premium matchday seat |
| Shared box | Small corporate teams | Private space for part of the evening with outdoor seating |
| Private box | Companies hosting larger groups | Exclusive use, catering and a private view of the pitch |
The club's published hospitality descriptions vary by product, so read each listing carefully before you buy. Typical inclusions are a welcome drink, dining, a matchday programme and lounge access at half-time and after the final whistle. Dress codes are generally smart casual.
Hospitality usually sells out before standard seats at the Parc. If you plan to host guests, book in the autumn rather than waiting for the kick-off time to be confirmed, and arrive early to make the most of the lounge before the crowds build outside.
Dining is a big part of the Parc's hospitality, and most packages are built around a proper sit-down meal rather than a quick bite on the concourse. It makes a winter fixture a full evening out, and many guests treat the match as the centrepiece of a weekend in Paris rather than a quick visit to the ground.
Delivery depends on the seller and the format the club uses for this fixture. Every listing on 1BoxOffice states the delivery method before you pay, so there are no surprises on matchday.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket (app transfer) | Install the club app and set up your account before the transfer arrives |
| E-ticket (PDF) | Check the name and seat details, then save the file offline or print it |
| Paper ticket by courier | Confirm your delivery address and allow time for international shipping |
| Collection on or before matchday | Note the collection point, opening hours and the ID you need to bring |
Always read the listing notes, bring valid photo ID and charge your phone fully if you are using mobile entry. Large bags and rucksacks are refused, bags are searched on entry and bottles, cans and pyrotechnics are not allowed in. The Parc's entrances get busy in the final half-hour, so aim to arrive well before kick-off.
Getting there is simple. Metro Line 9 stops at Porte de Saint-Cloud, a few minutes' walk from the ground, and Line 10 serves Porte d'Auteuil, which is often a calmer alternative. Gates are grouped by stand, with the Paris Stand served by gates A to G, Auteuil by H and I, Borelli by J to M and Boulogne by N to P, so check your ticket and head for the right side of the stadium.
Do not worry if your tickets are not in hand weeks before the game. Clubs often release mobile tickets close to matchday, so many sellers can only deliver in the final days, and your order status updates as soon as the tickets are sent. The 150% money-back guarantee covers you if a seller fails to deliver in time.

Paris is one of the easiest football trips in Europe. Eurostar trains from London reach Gare du Nord in around two and a half hours, and both main airports connect with the city centre by train, from where the metro takes you to Porte de Saint-Cloud. Overseas buyers usually choose e-tickets or mobile transfers, because courier delivery needs a reliable address and time for shipping.
If you are travelling as a group, filter for seats together and book as early as possible, because pairs and fours in the same row go first. Ligue 1 kick-off times are confirmed only a few weeks ahead and can land anywhere across the weekend, so choose flexible flights and hotels. Visitors making a longer trip can also check Paris FC tickets, as the city's second top-flight club often plays at home on alternate weekends.
Auxerre arrived in the top flight in 1980, and their first visit to the Parc that December ended in a 3-2 win for the newcomers. Under Guy Roux, the Burgundy club became one of French football's most respected sides, and the early meetings in Paris were tight: after a 2-1 defeat in February 1984, Auxerre would not win at the Parc again until March 2007. Paris went 22 home league games unbeaten against them in that time, a run that included a remarkable five draws in a row between 1988 and 1991.
The 1990s were the fixture's golden era. Paris beat Auxerre 4-0 on the way to the 1993/94 title, and Auxerre won the league and cup double in 1995/96, so these were meetings between genuine contenders. The balance shifted again in the late 2000s, when Auxerre won 2-1 at the Parc in May 2009 and 3-2 in October 2010, just before Paris entered a new era and Auxerre dropped out of the top flight in 2012.
The fixture returned in November 2022, when Paris marked Auxerre's first visit in a decade with a 5-0 win, their biggest league win in this fixture. Auxerre went straight back down, returned again in 2024 and gave the Parc a scare in May 2025 by taking the lead on the final home day of Paris's title-winning season, before the hosts came back to win 3-1. The September 2025 meeting ended 2-0, and Paris have now won every league meeting at the Parc since 2011.
What makes this fixture distinctive is how the two clubs' paths have crossed and parted. In the 1990s it was a meeting of title rivals; today it is a meeting between the European champions and a club rebuilding its place in Ligue 1. Paris are firm favourites on recent form, but Auxerre's history here is a reminder that this fixture has not always gone to form.

For buyers, the list tells a clear story. Paris have lost only five of 35 league games against Auxerre at the Parc and have scored close to two goals a game on average, yet draws have been common and all five of Auxerre's wins came by a single goal. It is a fixture where the hosts are favourites but rarely have it all their own way for long.
