Looking for Paris transit info from anyone who knows the system. I’m travelling to the arena from the 9th Arr, near Gare St Lazare or Gare du Nord. Can you tell me the best way to get there, and the latest I can expect to be able to get back by transit? Having trouble sorting the Metro, RER and local trains.
Many thanks!
VERY EASY !!
Go to St Lazare Station (train) or to AUBER station (RER-express métro)
Both will take you to the La Defense station
From there, you'll have a 10 min walk down to the arena
Last RER (Paris bound to AUBER) will leave La Défense quite after 00:30
Trains to St Lazare will also stop quite after 00:30
Keep cool, you'll be fine
Before the show, you will find a few bars around the venue, but not after...
I would recommend coming back to Paris ASAP and enjoy a last drink there

Congratulations on those who waited it out and got the pit tickets!
Regarding the resale of VIP packages, just a heads up:
TM says the VIP packages are not transferable. Of course, this will be hard to enforce unless they check the name on the ticket.
[m.ticketmaster.fr]
"All packages and package contents are non-transferable"
Take it for what it's worth.
A question for those who had VIP packages before, did they check ID's? For instance, the Amsterdam VIP package had the same disclaimer:

thanks for the advice. we will use both TGV and RER for three days. could you recommend any low-cost ticket for three days´ usage?
Edit: TGV only from CDG airport to center and back..

No need to use TGV from CDG to downtown Paris.
It is RER line B, taking you to Paris
You might consider buying this for 3 days (goes up to 5 days) : RATP Travel Pass

I'm having the same problem. Maybe because I'm trying to buy from the States?

There is a purchase system where you are supposed to type a code sent by SMS by your Bank to confirm the purchase isn't made by someone who hacked/stole your credit card ID.
Might be an issue for foreign buyers...
