As in all outdoor sports arenas since January 3, 2022, the atmosphere will be very calm at the Parc des Princes on Saturday evening for the match against Brest. While it has 36,000 subscribers and its stadium can accommodate 47,000 people, the capital club had to rack their brains to find out who would be able to come to the match of the 21st day of Ligue 1 (9 p.m.). The club must indeed apply the gauge of 5,000 outdoor spectators decreed by the government on January 30, 2021 to fight against the Covid-19 epidemic.
Priority partners and reduced ticketing
Even if at PSG, it is estimated that the club could very well have managed and enforced social distancing to 30,000 people, Paris-Saint-Germain decided to bring, like a large part of the L1 clubs, its partners as a priority. for this meeting.
The boxes and some seats in the presidential stand (Borelli) will therefore be filled with around 4,000 spectators and then for the 1,000 remaining seats, the club first canceled all subscriptions for this match and put a few seats back on sale (to see the match in Paris or Borelli grandstand). Tickets that found takers in a few hours on Tuesday.
For this match against Brest, it should be remembered that before the government measures, PSG knew that it would be deprived of part of its public. Indeed, the Auteuil stand was closed for two meetings following a massive use of smoke.
