EA Ligue 1 Games Tickets

The French Professional League (LFP) did a poor job of marketing their product. No fan-friendly activities to really draw an audience. The quality of the football was good, but there wasn't anything that elevated fan interest - which was the whole point of staging these events. There should have been French food, music, clothing, wines, beers, whatever. I have been to two English Premier League fan fest events where the games were shown on television that drew about the same amount of interest. Need to have autograph sessions, French products or other elements of French culture on-site to draw a broader audience.

Both games were great with the players giving serious effort to their respective games. No one was taking it easy. Some of the stars stayed in the game the whole time. There was even some Arsenal players Iattendance due to their game with Real Madrid a few days later. Overall the games were well organized. The only downside was that the video boards were not in use to give you instant replays. The venue was really nice. We sat in the second row. The organizers eventually opened up the seating to be general admission so that fans could sit in the shade. Despite being a small event, the stadium was well staffed. Food was good but relatively expensive. Will think twice about eating there when you can get a quick bite in a nearby neighborhood for probably less.

Two hard fought matches complete with great goals and skillful play.
