Tension is rising for Parisian supporters… and so are the price of tickets. The PSG-Arsenal Champions League semi-final return seems inaccessible for those who want to go to the Parc des Princes, Wednesday May 7. The result is an unforgettable experience for some enthusiasts, synonymous, perhaps, with a place in the final of the European competition, after the Parisians’ 1-0 victory in the first leg. You still have to be able to afford the precious sesame. Indeed, prices are soaring on “Ticket Place”, the official resale platform of Paris Saint-Germain, with tickets put up for sale by individuals.
A quarter-turn seat, Borelli stand, at the Parc des Princes, is sold for 520 euros on the Ticketplace website, consulted by franceinfo. This is the minimum price displayed on Friday May 2 for a place. It costs 5,900 euros for a similar place, of the same category, in the quarter-corners, but this time on the lawn, Borelli stand, with 900 euros in reservation fees. Another example: it costs 1,600 euros for the Borelli stand, in the front row, behind the visiting players’ bench. Tickets at a high price because they are rare, but also because the platform does not set any ceiling. Resellers set their price and the club takes 20% of the sale.
Speculation is the same on the black market, as for Imrane, who buys and resells places occasionally. “I bought a place for 450 euros to resell it for 500 euros”, he admits to Radio France. A relatively modest margin, but a profit all the same for him. Other resellers, such as “Porunga Dbz” on social networks, go further, with seats purchased for 110 euros, resold for 400 euros, and up to 3,000 euros for a VIP seat. Here again, amounts aligned with those of Ticketplace, admits the reseller.
