What’s it like to be a VIP member of AS Monaco basketball? A courtside experience inside look

Being a part of AS Monaco Basketball as a VIP member or partner is not just about watching a game; it’s about immersing oneself in an exclusive experience that brings fans closer to the action and the stars they admire. For many, this journey into the heart of basketball is a blend of privilege, excitement, and unparalleled access to the inner workings of the sport.

One of the most exciting aspects of being a VIP at AS Monaco Basketball is the immersive nature of the courtside experience. “The most striking thing about being courtside is the immersive aspect,” says VIP member Arnaud Veron. “We really feel like we are on the court. We are so close to the players that we can almost touch them.” 

This proximity to the players doesn’t just offer a better view of the game; it makes the audience feel as though they are part of the team, living each intense moment alongside the players.

The excitement of being so close to the action is palpable. “During crucial moments, when the intensity of the game rises, we can almost feel the pulse of the players and the tension on the court,” reveals Veron. “We are really on the same level. The entire stadium’s atmosphere flows down to us, and it’s really like being part of the team.” 

As the VIP members explain, this immersive environment is what makes the courtside seats at AS Monaco Basketball truly special, turning each match into an unforgettable experience.

A VIP experience beyond the game

The VIP experience extends far beyond the court. It includes a range of exclusive perks that make it a valuable investment for both individuals and companies. “As a company, we can offer these seats to our teams, which is a great way to motivate and unify our staff,” explains Sofian Biouti, Marketing and Communication Director of TV Monaco. The access to players, pre-game lounges, and other exclusive events is not just about luxury; it’s about creating moments that inspire and connect.

One of the most cherished aspects of being a VIP member is the personal connections it facilitates. “Being a VIP subscriber allows you to participate in exclusive events, like the subscribers’ evening. Personally, I value the opportunity I had to bring my child, who got to talk to his favourite player, take a selfie, and more—these are priceless moments,” says Biouti, adding that these personal experiences are what make the VIP membership at AS Monaco Basketball not just a ticket to a game but a gateway to creating lasting memories.

Networking and business opportunities

In addition to the immersive game-day experience, the VIP membership and partnerships at AS Monaco Basketball offer significant networking opportunities. The VIP lounges before and after the matches are buzzing with business discussions and new connections. “The networking aspect is very important, particularly through access to the lounges before and after the game, where we can establish connections with other companies present in the Principality or elsewhere, which also leads to business opportunities,” says Biouti.

This networking potential is one of the key benefits of being part of the AS Monaco Basketball family, creating a community that extends beyond the court and into the business world. “These special moments are very important in a partner-to-partner relationship. This is one of the essential strengths of this partnership: it also helps nourish and maintain other partnerships,” he adds.

Supporting Monegasque sports on a global stage

For many, the partnership with AS Monaco Basketball is not just about business or entertainment; it’s about supporting and promoting Monegasque sports on a global scale. “Following and supporting Monegasque sports helps promote it worldwide,” emphasises Biouti. The pride of being associated with a team that is gaining international recognition adds another layer of value to the partnership.

As more people discover the unique appeal of AS Monaco Basketball, whether as a VIP member or a partner, the sense of community and connection continues to grow. For those involved, it’s more than just a game—it’s an opportunity to be part of something bigger, something that resonates both on and off the court.
