Plenitude Arena (formerly Paris La Defense Arena) Guide — Concerts, Tickets and Tips

Plenitude Arena (formerly Paris La Defense Arena) is the largest indoor arena in Europe, and it is located in Nanterre, a suburb in the west of Paris. At TikTik you can book tickets to it, as well as flight, hotel and ticket packages, for concerts by Celine Dion, Muse, Rush, Olivia Rodrigo, blink-182 and Karol G.

About the Venue

The arena opened in October 2017. The rugby club Racing 92 developed it, and it replaced Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir as the team's home ground. The Italian energy company Eni Plenitude holds the naming rights, hence the current name. Paris La Defense Arena and U Arena are names for exactly the same venue.

The building can be set up in three configurations. For rugby matches it has 30,681 seats. For concerts the original capacity was 40,000, and in 2024 it was increased to 45,000. Thanks to a movable stand, it can also host indoor sports events of various sizes, down to a small configuration of 5,000 seats. The complex also has 33,000 sq m of offices, 300 student rooms and shops, including the club store, a brewery and a gourmet restaurant.

At the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, the swimming and water polo competitions were held here, and at the Paralympic Games, the swimming competitions. In 2031 the arena will host the final stage of the FIBA Basketball World Cup.

Tips for Getting There

Book early: It's worth booking the ticket, and accordingly the flight and hotel too, as soon as you've chosen a date.
Check the flight time against the concert time: Leave enough time between landing and the concert, and also between the end of the concert and your return flight.
Plan the route from the hotel: The arena is in Nanterre, not in central Paris, so it is worth knowing in advance how to get there and how to get back.
Arrive early: At a concert with tens of thousands of people, it is better to arrive with time to spare, so you can get in calmly and find your seat without stress.
Order: At TikTik you can book on the website or with a representative, with service in Hebrew.
