Organising a seminar or a party at the Orange Vélodrome
Olympique de Marseille’s stadium hosts more than just matches. Outside match nights, its reception lounges and hospitality areas welcome seminars, conventions and corporate parties, with the pitch and the stands as a backdrop.
In brief
The Orange Vélodrome, home of Olympique de Marseille in the 8th arrondissement, hires out its lounges and reception areas to companies for seminars, trade shows and parties, outside match days. The venue speaks to everyone in Marseille and lends itself to football-themed entertainment. ADJM Événementiel organises the music, bar, photography, entertainment and coordination there, with DJs from €299.

What corporate events can you hold at the Vélodrome?
The stadium hosts seminars, sales meetings, trade shows and corporate parties in its reception lounges. In February 2026, for example, it hosted EVENTS Days Sud, a trade show for events professionals. The basic rule is simple: on match and concert days, the stadium belongs to the show. So everything comes down to choosing the date.
| Format | What the venue offers | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Seminar or sales meeting | Motivating setting, view of the pitch | Book well away from match dates |
| Corporate party | Guaranteed “behind the scenes” feel | Sound rules and finishing times |
| Trade show | Well-known venue, metro access | Set-up within precise time slots |
| Team building | Obvious football theme | Access to the pitch rarely possible |
How to make the most of the football theme?
In a stadium, the setting already tells a story. Rather than hiding it, play with it: the entertainment that works best borrows the codes of match day without turning into fancy dress.
- A smartphone quiz with a round on the club’s history and stadium anthems: everyone plays, even non-fans.
- A mixed-zone-style photocall, with a photo booth and the PicShot gallery: every guest retrieves their photos with a selfie.
- An in-house awards ceremony where the winners make their entrance under cold spark machines, just like the players walking out.
- A DJ who knows the atmosphere of the stands to kick off the evening, then opens up to a wider repertoire.
What budget for a party at the stadium?
Lounge hire is priced with the stadium according to the space and the date. For a complete turnkey corporate party in Marseille, the budgets observed range from €65 to €130 per person. For the entertainment, an agency often charges around €1,100 for a party DJ; with us, a DJ starts at €299, with no intermediary fees.
