Looks like it is against french law to serve alcohol in stadiums - the article doesn't say outright, but they mention that catering can offer alcohol as part of their duties so it appears the reason VIPs can drink is due to being at a catered event.
Yeah, that is a bit shit, but the problem appears to be that the law carves a loophole out that only the wealthy execute on. I don't know though, I live far away and I have only heard about sports hooliganism, maybe it just genuinely makes sense. I'm having a hard time imagining a catered event getting overly rowdy

- SkyPuncher 3y agoLots of things are bad for people. Moral grand standing about drinking at an “evening out” is not a compelling argument to most people.
- carlmr 3y agoI'm all for banning alcohol in stadiums, there's enough problems with rowdy fans at such events. But the problem here is not whether or not they should be allowed alcohol, but why a catered event in a stadium is exempt from the law.
