“I’m disappointed, their thing is really poorly organized” enrages a supporter in front of the sign where the word “complete” sits in red capital letters on a white background, displayed at 9 a.m. on the ticket counter. In front the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium ticket officethey are several dozen who made the trip this Tuesday, April 30, hoping to find seats for the reception in Rodez on May 10, in vain. The 5,000 tickets sold to the general public after sales reserved for subscribers were gone in a few minutes.
Dematerialized tickets

Poupette, a supporter who is at all the matches, a fan of the Greens to the tips of her painted nails, loses her temper. “This is unacceptable, I’ve been here since 7 a.m. this morning!” She doesn’t have Internet, the ticket office is the only way for her to buy tickets. “What is physical ticketing used for?” asks Jérôme, who came to buy tickets for his boys aged 10 and 9. “I thought they would have set aside 500 to 1000 places for physical tickets” he laments.

Saturated servers
The club admits to having favored online sales, but even on the website, the night was complicated. “Everything was bugged!” testifies Murielle, who came to the stadium hoping to find the seats that she was unable to buy on her computer, even though she was connected at midnight. ASSE explains that despite the additional resources, the servers were saturated by the number of connections: 2,300 people connected at 11:30 p.m., compared to a thousand on a regular match day.

“There are things to review, especially if we are in Ligue 1 next year” grumbles a disappointed dad. Some prefer to think about solutions. The opening of the balconies above the Kops? This hypothesis is not at all current, the club citing security reasons. So that of the visitor parking, as for the reception in Concarneau? “Rodez is nearby, they will make the trip” sighs another. Murielle prefers to fall back on the exchange, where some can put their tickets back on sale at the last minute. “This avoids scams on the black market.“
If you can’t find a seat for the Greens’ last home match of the season, you can always follow the match live and in full on France Bleu Saint-Étienne Loire.
