Orange Vélodrome

Orange Vélodrome: How to park easily on a match or concert night?

Inaugurated in 1937, the Orange Vélodrome is more than just a sports arena in Marseille – it’s the home of Olympique de Marseille and one of France’s most historic and passionate football venues. After several major renovations – notably the 2014 overhaul costing €268 million that added the current steel and PTFE roof – it now holds nearly 67,400 spectators for sport and can accommodate over 73,000 for big concerts. It hosted six matches of the 2023 Rugby World Cup and welcomes major musical acts each summer.

The parking nightmare on event nights

On a night of an OM match or a concert, the neighbourhood around the Vélodrome in the 8th arrondissement fills up long before the event starts: traffic slows, streets are closed, and the official car park is swamped by tens of thousands of fans at once. Many end up parking far away and walking long distances, sometimes arriving late.

The solution: rent a resident’s spot in advance

That’s exactly what PrendsmaPlace helps you avoid. By booking a parking space from a local resident near the Orange Vélodrome ahead of time, you know a spot will be waiting just a few minutes’ walk from the stadium – no last‑minute stress, no endless circling. It’s often a cheaper option too, while guaranteeing a reserved place even on the busiest match or concert evenings.

Whether you’re heading to an OM Ligue 1 match, a European cup tie, or a concert at the Orange Vélodrome, pre‑booking your parking is the smartest way to arrive relaxed and enjoy the evening.
