These measures have been put in place to manage crowd movement and safety, and we are committed to keeping you updated as we receive further details.
Mandatory Coach Travel & Ticket Exchange
In line with requirements from the local police, all supporters travelling to Nice will need to use mandatory coach travel and follow a voucher-to-ticket exchange process. These rules have been introduced to ensure a secure matchday experience.
Departure Point & Ticket Exchange: The French authorities have designated Pins car park (in front of the Palais Nikaia) as the official gathering point for Rangers supporters. This will be where the coaches depart and where the voucher exchange will take place on matchday. Once the exchange is complete, fans will need to remain in this area until departure to the stadium.
Amenities: Food and drink are expected to be available at the Pins car park, and we will confirm all details around collection times and facilities as soon as we receive them.
Parking: The Pins car park will also accommodate parking for private vehicles and supporter coaches.
Ticket Voucher System: A voucher will be issued upon ticket purchase, which can be exchanged for an official match ticket on the day. Please note that this voucher will not grant entry to the stadium. Your official match ticket will only be provided in exchange for this voucher at the designated area. We’ll announce the ticket registration release shortly.
French authorities have emphasised that all supporters must use the designated coaches to access the away section. Following the match, coaches will return supporters to the Pins car park, where trams are available to reach the city centre within 20 minutes.
Supporter Area & Safety Precautions
While the local police have not designated a specific area for Rangers supporters to gather in Nice, they have advised caution and suggested avoiding certain areas in the Old Town – these areas will be confirmed to supporters in due course. To minimise risk, we recommend supporters remain in groups and follow these guidelines.
Accessibility
If any supporters travelling to the match have specific access requirements, please email disabilitymatters@rangers.co.uk for assistance. We are here to help ensure that all fans have a comfortable and accessible matchday experience.
Ongoing Communication
We understand the importance of keeping you informed as fully and as quickly as possible. We are actively liaising with the authorities and will provide further updates as soon as we have them. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to make this matchday experience as smooth as possible for our supporters.
