Accor Arena Paris Bercy: Concerts, Capacity, Metro and Tips for Your Evening
The Accor Arena (formerly the Palais omnisports de Paris-Bercy), at 8 boulevard de Bercy in the 12th arrondissement, is one of Paris's main concert and sports venues. Its capacity depends on the configuration: from 15,000 to about 20,300 spectators (sources differ, 17,000 to 20,300 for a concert). It hosts rap, rock and pop concerts, basketball, tennis and the Rolex Paris Masters at the end of October. Metro 6 and 14 serve Bercy, a few minutes' walk away.

Tips
- Buy only through the show's official ticket office or authorised resale: tickets bought from strangers are often invalid. Doors open about 1.5 hours before the start; bags are searched and large bags refused. After the show, avoid the crowded Bercy station and walk to Gare de Lyon (15 minutes) or take a bus. To eat before the concert, Bercy Village has restaurants and bars five minutes away. The district is covered in our complete guide to Bercy.
