Luckily it's also a perfectly accessible city for the average traveller, so go ahead and buy Nice event tickets on StubHub and fly off on the holiday of your dreams.

Nice - city of rugby and jazz

Perhaps more than any other sport, Nice is a rugby city, so if you're looking for sporting events, Allianz Riviera is the stadium where international Test matches have been played for many a year. The region has a proud rugby history even if its team, Stade Niçois, has always only been an amateur outfit. Meanwhile OGC Nice is the city's contribution to the French professional football league. You can buy or sell all the Nice event tickets you need for both sports on StubHub. On the arts scene, the Nice Jazz Festival has become a fixture since its inception in the late 1940s and has a proud heritage within the city. There are also plenty of art exhibitions and many outdoor events, as befits a place with one of the most idyllic climates in the whole of Europe.
