How to Buy Concert Tickets in Paris

A former highschool mate was in Paris recently and asked me a pretty basic question, "How can I buy tickets to the Morning Benders while in Paris," I realized, although I had been to many shows, I hadn't been the one to pick up the group's tickets and I was stumped. Anyways, after asking around the friend circle, here is the list of sites and ways to buy concert tickets online or in person. Cheers to making life easier.

Online Tickets
Moxity: Started by young entrepreneurs at SciencesPo, you can get tickets for every sort of spectacle here. Cool thing is you can search what events are going on based on the area you're in. Even better, it is a platform to sell your tickets. Forget scalping them, this site let's you do it for almost free and easy.

I <3 Abbaye. Bros at Solidays, an HIV awareness raising festival in Paris. 2008. Saw vampire weekend, Moriarty, Subways, The Gossip etc etc.

Ticketnet: Basic site, but if you don't have a printer don't despair, Ticketnet requires the real thing to be sent to you. Obvi ups and downs to that.


This is the best site for concert tickets in Paris. It has all the indie shows and museums listed and it tells you if your friends are going through Facebook Connect. Print tickets directly.

In Real Life

If for some reason you don't have internet, like you're a student and you haven't set it up yet or something, here is where you can roll up in your vélib to get those tickets.

Virgin Mega Store: On the Champs Elysée.

Fnac: Music, DVD, electronics shop. Sort of like the HMV of France. Go here for big shows.

Darty: Pretty common around Paris.

Sitting on the tallest man alive's shoulders. Best seat in the house.
