__Overview__
Tottenham makes the trip to Monaco for a high-stakes Champions League group-stage clash against AS Monaco at the Stade Louis-II. The match kicks off at 9:00 PM on Wednesday, October 22. If you’re planning to attend, here’s a concise, practical guide to help you navigate ticketing, entry, parking, and transport on matchday.
__Ticketing and entry rules__
– Ticket offices are closed on matchday due to ongoing renovation work at the Louis-II stadium. The last remaining tickets are available online only. Fans are encouraged to secure digital tickets (M-ticket) and add them to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for easy access.
– Seating options differ by supporter type:
– AS Monaco supporters: tickets are usually available in Pesages stands. Note that some relocation for season-ticket holders in Pesage D to Pesage C is in effect due to renovations.
– AS Monaco sympathizers: seats are typically in Seconde B, Premières lateral and central E, and Honneurs B and B2. Distinctive visiting club apparel is prohibited in these sections.
– Visiting club sympathizers or neutrals: recommended seats include Seconde F, Première F, and Honneur A2. Visiting club clothing or distinctive accessories are also not allowed in these areas.
– If you’re a Tottenham supporter, and your club has reserved seating, contact your club’s ticket office or liaison for allocation and access details.
– General gates open two hours before kickoff. Plan to be inside the stadium well before kickoff to pass security checks and locate your seat.
__Getting to the Stade Louis-II__
– Traffic around the Principality can be heavy on matchdays. Allow extra travel time so you don’t miss the start of the game.
– Public parking can fill up quickly. Live parking data is available at parkings.mc or via the YOUR MONACO app to help you find non-full lots.
– For easier exit after the match, consider parking at the Salines car park near the Exotic Garden or at the Wurtemberg car park, which are recommended options by organizers.
– If you’re traveling by rail, plan ahead with SNCF schedules and local connections. Check for any special football match-day timetables to minimize delays.
__On-site tips and security__
– Leave sufficient time to pass through security checks; large crowds can slow entry.
– Clothing and accessories that display the visiting team’s crest or colors are restricted in certain areas. If you’re supporting Tottenham, prepare to adjust your attire accordingly, depending on the section you are assigned.
– Digital tickets reduce the risk of misplacement. Ensure your smartphone is charged and your wallet has the digital pass ready for quick scanning.
__Facilities and amenities__
– Concessions and restrooms are available around the Stade Louis-II. Since offices are closed on matchday, any ticket issues should be resolved online or at will-call if available before or after kickoff.
– For those staying ahead of kickoff, there are opportunities to take a quick tour or stroll along nearby streets with public transit options just outside the stadium precinct.
__Post-match planning__
– Expect traffic to ease gradually after the final whistle. If you’re parking, use the recommended car parks for a smoother exit.
– Check live updates from parkings.mc to avoid congestion near the main routes out of the Principality.
__Sample travel checklist__
– Online ticket or M-ticket ready on your device
– Valid matchday ID and club affiliation details as required by your seating area
– Comfortable footwear and weather-appropriate clothing (Monaco evenings can be cool)
– Fully charged phone with wallet (for digital tickets) and parking apps installed
__Conclusion__
With limited on-site ticketing, digital access, careful seating selection, and smart parking, Tottenham fans and Monaco supporters can enjoy a smooth, safe, and enjoyable Champions League night at the Stade Louis-II. Arrive early, follow venue rules, and savor the football under Monaco’s lights.
