In the following sections we’ll do a deep dive on the process of buying Olympique de Marseille tickets, exploring everything from season tickets to memberships, while comparing the primary and secondary markets.

Yes, it’s safe to assume that every Olympique de Marseille match at Stade Vélodrome will sell out. According to official figures published by the club before the 2024/25 season, 85% of OM matches sold out in the 2022/23 season and the 2023/24 season.

In 2023/24 OM’s average attendance was 60,799 out of 67,394, keeping in mind that the club enjoyed an extended run in the UEFA Europa League, where the capacity at the stadium was reduced. Without European football in 2024/25 Marseille’s average attendance was more than 63,500, across the first half of the season.

Some matches are sure to sell out much faster than others, and these include the heated derby against PSG, in the Classique, and the fixture against Olympique Lyonnais, known as the Olympico.

Still, you will have no trouble sourcing OM match tickets through Ticket Compare, even if the match has sold out on the primary market.

If you are using the official Olympique de Marseille ticket office, OM tickets go on sale between 15 days and three weeks before a match. It’s worth noting that before the tickets go on general sale there’s an advanced window for club members (Peuple Bleu&Blanc).

Another important factor to keep in mind is that the exact day and time of Ligue 1 fixtures is not nailed down until about three weeks before the match. This is well worth remembering if you’re travelling to watch a Marseille match from abroad.

For tickets that have not yet gone on sale, the Olympique de Marseille website offers a notification (m’alerter) button so you can receive ticketing updates.

Shopping for OM tickets through Ticket Compare, you can secure your seats as early as preseason when the fixture list is announced.

Again, keep your travel and accommodation plans open as the match could be played any time from Friday to Sunday, although the majority of home OM matches take place on Sunday evenings.

No fixture in Marseille’s season is bigger than the derby against Paris Saint-Germain, and the match’s importance is reflected by the pricing. For this match the cheapest tickets rarely cost less than €120, and will rise to more than €300.

However, loyal fans are often rewarded with big discounts. For example, at the Classique in 2023/24 there were specially priced tickets at €71 for OM fans who had also attended the Olympique de Marseille vs Olympique Lyonnais match earlier in the season.

If you're hoping to catch an Olympique de Marseille match at the Stade Vélodrome without breaking the bank, here are some tips for finding affordable tickets:

• Plan Ahead: Select your preferred match well in advance. Early purchases often come with better deals for OM tickets, particularly before ticket demand rises close to matchday.
• Consider Lower-Demand Games: Marseille tickets for matches against mid-table or struggling Ligue 1 teams are generally much cheaper than high-profile clashes, like the prestigious Le Classique against PSG.
• Watch for Last-Minute Drops: Close to kickoff, resale ticket prices can sometimes plummet as sellers look to offload unsold tickets, making it an excellent opportunity for bargain hunters to buy cheap tickets for Marseille.
• Look for Solo Seats: Single tickets are often priced lower than group seats on the secondary market. If you're attending alone, you may find significant savings on resale platforms.
• Pick Behind-the-Goal Sections: Seating in the Virage Nord or Virage Sud ends of the Stade Vélodrome is typically more affordable than the central stands, while still offering an electric atmosphere.

In 2024/25 the price of a season ticket at Olympique de Marseille ranges from €180 to €1,500+, while VIP season tickets at Stade Vélodrome start at €2,200.

The cheapest spots at Stade Vélodrome are always behind the goals in Virage Nord and Virage Sud, while the most expensive are in the lateral stands, Tribune Jean-Bouin and Tribune Ganay, where the price of a seat starts at €325 and the most expensive seats are pitchside near the halfway line.

The 2024/25 season ticket price is in fact cheaper than the 2023/24 price of an OM season ticket (€240 - €1,529), but it’s important to note that the price doesn’t include European football.

As well as giving you guaranteed seats at all 17 Ligue 1 matches at Stade Vélodrome, an Olympique de Marseille season ticket comes with a handful of additional benefits. These are:

• Coupe de France tickets for home games at no additional cost with a full subscription.
• Discounted pricing compared to match-by-match tickets from just €19 per match
• Flexible payment options over 10 installments at no extra cost.
• Exclusive perks via the Peuple Bleu&Blanc membership programme, which is included with a season ticket.

If you can’t get your hands on a season ticket for Marseille, the next best thing for regular match-going fans is to sign up to become a member. Officially known as Peuple Bleu&Blanc (Blue and White People), a membership with l’OM comes with a number of advantages, which we’ll lay out below

• Get priority access to ticket sales for matches and events.
• Purchase unwanted match tickets via the club’s official resale platform.
• Receive a digital Blue & White People membership card for easy access to exclusive benefits.
• Unlock exclusive digital content and behind-the-scenes updates from OM.
• Access unique experiences and opportunities designed just for members.
• Save 10% on purchases at the OM online store and physical locations.
• Take advantage of exclusive partner offers and promotions.
• Enter competitions for exciting prizes and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
• Benefit from discounted rates for the OM Stadium Tour experience.

Naturally, the most important from a ticketing point of view is the priority access to home OM tickets at Stade Vélodrome. This is especially handy, considering the majority of Marseille matches sell out quickly.

In the second half of 2024/25,  Peuple Bleu&Blanc Membership costs €25 a year, and must be renewed at the start of the new season to remain valid.

L’OM has a dedicated link on its ticket listings for “Revente” (Resale), which leads to the club’s own “Plateforme de Revente” or Resale Platform.

This service was introduced at the start of the 2022/23 season as a way of allowing ticket holders, mostly those with season tickets, the chance to relist tickets for matches that they cannot attend.

Marseille’s ticket resale platform is not active for every match; it will only come into play for matches that are expected to sell out.

At this point we should also explain that the resale platform only applies to seats in the more expensive Tribune Ganay and Tribune Jean-Bouin stands on the longside at Stade Vélodrome.

One of the advantages of the complete renovation of the Stade Vélodrome in the 2010s is that Olympique Marseille has a matchday hospitality offer that outstrips every other team in Ligue 1. With Marseille hospitality tickets you can treat yourself to an altogether more refined matchday at this famously raucous football stadium.

As a rule, every VIP hospitality package at Stade Vélodrome offers longer opening times (two hours before kick-off and 90 minutes after full-time), access to an exclusive lounge, superior seating compared to general admission, and high-quality catering that is not available in public parts of the stadium.

Ticket Compare partners with OM’s hospitality agents to give you official hospitality tickets for Marseille matches, which adds another level of peace of mind. So let’s take a look at the various VIP packages at the Stade Vélodrome:

Club 1899 (Tribune Jean Bouin)

Situated at the heart of the prestigious Tribune Jean Bouin, Club 1899 offers an exclusive experience with premium pitchside seating. Guests enjoy gourmet dining, a champagne bar, and access to a private lounge. The package includes personalised services, a welcome kit, and dedicated parking options for a luxurious matchday.

Gold & Platinum Loges (Tribune Jean Bouin)

These private suites are located on multiple levels of the Tribune Jean Bouin, with capacities ranging from 16 to 30 guests. Visitors benefit from elegant décor, personalised wall displays, and a maître d'hôtel to ensure impeccable service. A premium cocktail and champagne reception elevate the experience.

Open Loges (Tribune Jean Bouin)

Shared spaces designed for smaller groups, the Open Loges offer lateral views of the pitch from the Tribune Jean Bouin. With capacities of up to 28 guests, these spaces provide a cocktail-style dining experience and beverages, perfect for professional networking or casual gatherings.

La Table des Légendes (Tribune Jean Bouin)

Nestled on the panoramic fourth level of the Tribune Jean Bouin, this space combines stunning views with an exclusive ambiance. Guests dine alongside former OM players and ambassadors while enjoying a reserved table, champagne, and gourmet offerings. It’s a tribute to the club’s rich heritage.

Le Bistrot (Tribune Jean Bouin) 

Positioned in the upper levels of the Tribune Jean Bouin, this cosy space offers central seating with a laid-back atmosphere. Perfect for fans looking for an elevated matchday, it includes a cocktail reception and beverage service during the game.

Brasserie M (Tribune Ganay) 

Located centrally in the Tribune Ganay, this hospitality area features buffet-style dining and beverage service. The relaxed yet sophisticated environment caters to groups seeking a vibrant but less formal experience, with excellent views of the action.

Salon O’Pub (Tribune Ganay) 

Central to the Tribune Ganay, this space offers a pub-like atmosphere with drinks ranging from wine to soft beverages. Optional snacks complement the experience, creating a lively yet relaxed ambiance for fans to enjoy the match.

Massilia Beach (Jean Bouin Rooftop) 

A unique rooftop offering overlooking the stadium and Marseille’s skyline, this space is a pre-match haven. Guests enjoy street food, an open bar, and DJ performances before heading to their premium seats in the Jean Bouin stand. It’s a perfect blend of exclusivity and vibrant energy.

• By Metro: Take Line 2. Use Rond-Point du Prado for Jean Bouin and Virage Nord stands or Sainte-Marguerite Dromel for Ganay and Virage Sud. Metro runs from 4:30 am to 12:30 am (extended to 1:30 am on event days).
• By Bus: Use lines 83, 19, or B1. From Escale Borély, take Bus 19; from Vieux-Port, take Bus 83 (scenic coastal route, ~40 minutes). Check RTM alerts for route changes on busy matchdays.
• By Car: Parking is limited. Use Parc Chanot or park at St Charles (€8.50 for 4 hours, includes return metro ticket). Traffic near the stadium is heavy, so plan ahead.
• By Bicycle: Take advantage of nearby "Levélo-MPM" bike stations and cycle paths for a quick, eco-friendly option.
• Carpooling: Use the StadiumGO app for shared rides, reducing travel costs and carbon footprint.

There are a number of OM fan groups in the stadium, and they are mostly distributed between the stands behind the goals, in the Virage Nord De Peretti on the north side and the Virage Sud Chevalier Roze to the south.

So, for example the ‘Dodger’s’ (DM92) have been in the Virage Nord for more than 30 years, while as the name suggests, the South Winners (SW87) have been behind the south goal since 1987.

On balance, there are a couple more supporters’ groups behind the north goal than the south. As the traditional location for OM’s most hardcore fans, the north has been described as the beating heart of the stadium.

However, both shortside stands at Stade Vélodrome are guaranteed to bring a lot of noise and spectacle, with flags, non-stop singing and occasional large-scale choreographed displays.

• For the Passionate Supporter Craving Atmosphere: If you thrive on raw energy and want to immerse yourself in the pure noise of OM’s most devoted fans, the north stand (Virage Nord) or south stand (Virage Sud) are your go-to spots. Ideal for hardcore fans seeking intensity, these areas promise a unique, adrenaline-fuelled experience, and the whole match is spent standing up.
• For the First-Time Visitor or Casual Fan: The Tribune Ganay stand strikes a perfect balance for newcomers or casual fans. It offers excellent pitch visibility, and is a fantastic choice for revelling in the stadium’s vibrant atmosphere without being overwhelmed. If it’s your first visit to the Vélodrome, this stand allows you to enjoy the match comfortably while still experiencing the buzz of the crowd.
• For Those Who Prioritise the Best View: For spectators who want to take in every play with crystal clarity, the Tribune Jean Bouin stand is the ultimate option. Although tickets here come at a premium, the view is nothing short of spectacular, especially in the hospitality areas. This stand is perfect for those who love analysing the game and capturing memorable photos of the action from an unparalleled vantage point.
• For Families and Relaxed Spectators: If you’re visiting with family or looking for a more laid-back experience, the upper sections of either the Ganay or Jean Bouin stands offer a quieter, more composed atmosphere (Ganay Haut and Balcon). These areas provide a good mix of comfort and visibility, making them ideal for enjoying the match without the intense energy of the bends.

Away fans visiting Stade Vélodrome for Olympique de Marseille matches will be in the north-west corner of the stadium at the far north end of the Tribune Jean Bouin stand. Set across all three tiers, this area is accessed from the outside via door (porte) 20.

For Ligue 1 tickets the away allocation at OM is around 2,100 seats, and for European competitions this can increase to around 3,000.
