Parisian fans probably did not expect to discover such rates for the 16th final of the Coupe de France between Orleans and PSG, Saturday, January 20. US Orléans (National), finally allowed to play the match at home, is indeed offering tickets to... 60 euros for visitors' parking, the stand allocated to supporters outside. PSG immediately announced on its website that it would cover 50% of the amount, but the price lowered to 30 euros remains very high.
Parisian fans are used to paying 10 euros for their trips to Ligue 1. "It's more than expensive than for some European trips!" read one comment on X (ex-Twitter). In its pricing policy, US Orléans applies the same rate to the entire Beaumarchais stand, located behind a goal. It is probably in this area that the parking lot for Parisian fans will be located, but they do not have a preferential rate as is customary.
😱😡
60 € the place in parking for a 16th Coupe de France against a national. Aren't you ashamed @US_Orleans?
And even with the €30 payment by PSG, it's still scandalous.
Let us boycott and leave with our share of the proceeds! #footpopulaire pic.twitter.com/vOWwvNcCUd

Please note that tickets for the general public are only available at the box office of the Stade de la Source, where the match will be played, with a limit of two seats per purchase. Again, the prices are very high, since you have to pay between 60 and 100 euros to acquire a sesame.

This is not the only controversy related to the ticketing of the 16th Coupe de France. Rouen (National), opposed to Toulouse, also imposed a very high price for Téfécé supporters, of 35 euros. The Toulouse club has decided to pay 25 euros, to allow its supporters not to pay more than for a Ligue 1 match.
