USL Dunkerque is gearing up for what promises to be one of the most exhilarating matches of the season as they face off against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the semi-finals of the Coupe de France. This prestigious event is scheduled for April 1, 2025, at 21:10 at the Décathlon Arena – Stade Pierre Mauroy, and excitement is building among local fans.
To show their commitment to the local community, USL Dunkerque has announced generous ticketing measures aimed at ensuring more Dunkerque supporters fill the stands. "On souhaite s’assurer que Pierre-Mauroy sera rempli majoritairement de supporters dunkerquois. Pour respecter cette logique, nous avons décidé de donner la priorité à nos supporters," said Selçuk Demir, co-president of USL Dunkerque. His remarks highlight the club’s intention to strengthen the home-field advantage by mobilizing local fan support.
Fans can begin purchasing tickets starting March 13, 2025, with exclusive access granted to club subscribers and local supporters. The sales will be online only, allowing fans to reserve their spots from the comfort of their homes. Subscribers will benefit from a 15% discount on their ticket purchases, and are permitted to buy up to eight additional tickets at the general public rate, which encourages group attendance.
An additional round of sales for group purchases of at least ten tickets will run from March 13 to March 31, 2025. Organizations and local clubs are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity. These measures are implemented to honor the club's commitment to its loyal fans.
The physical ticket sales will commence at the Stade Tribut on March 14, 2025, from 10:00 to 15:00, and will resume the next day between 16:00 and 18:00 after the match against Metz. Limited to 3000 physical tickets, the club urges Dunkerquois to secure their tickets quickly to avoid disappointment.
Following the exclusivity period for locals, ticket sales will open to the general public on March 18, 2025, both online at stade-pierre-mauroy.com and at physical locations like Vitrine Passion Sport. Online sales will continue until all tickets are sold out, and interest is expected to be high.
Ticket prices have been set to accommodate various budgets, ranging from €20 to €90, which will help engage all demographics including young fans who will enjoy reduced rates. The season’s culmination is highlighting not just competitive sports, but the sense of community among Dunkerquois.
Fans are also encouraged to support the team by purchasing collector’s merchandise, including match scarves and jerseys, which will be available for presale starting March 13.
With the match against PSG eyed as a hallmark event for USL Dunkerque, it’s clear the club is doing everything possible to involve its local supporters. The energy of the crowd is expected to be palpable, giving the players the much-needed support to compete against one of the strongest teams known globally.
Selçuk Demir emphasized the importance of local presence, stating, "Les joueurs en ont besoin," reminding supporters of the influence they have on the field. The expectation is for the stadium to be filled with the vibrant energy of white and blue representing Dunkerque.
Not only does the club actively engage its supporters through ticket prioritization, but it also highlights how community ties can bolster local sports endeavors. Every Dunkerquois is encouraged to take part and make history as their team vies for glory against PSG.
