Paris Saint-Germain: the launch of the official ticket transfer platform "TicketPlace.psg.fr"

Paris Saint-Germain (Ligue 1) have launched "Ticketplace.psg.fr", its new exchange platform for match tickets, on 18/08/2016. This platform was developed in house by the Parisian club, a first for a French club in any sport. Viagogo, an English website specialising in ticket selling, had managed the second-hand ticket selling platform of PSG since its inception, on 01/01/2013.

"Ticketplace.psg.fr is now the only official channel for fans to buy and sell their tickets for all Paris Saint-Germain home matches right up until it's a sell out," said PSG. The new platform adds to the club's online ticket site (billetterie.psg.fr), which allows "Les Parisians" to manage two official ticketing sites.

"In addition to the speed of service and trading security, the platform also offers a self-service area for season ticket holders (payment terms, changing seats, tickets transferability). All tickets changing hands on the platform can be shared in E-ticket form and can be integrated with smartphone technology as M-tickets," said Paris Saint-Germain on 18/08/2016.
