Serie A tickets 2024: prices, information and dates

The next 10 Serie A matches at a glance

How can I get Serie A tickets in Germany?

If you’re not a fan of a particular Serie A club, you can choose from a number of different teams, all of which play top-class football. Inter Milan, AC Milan, SSC Napoli, AS Roma, Juventus Turin and Lazio Roma are regularly among the Italian representatives in European competitions. Their duels with each other are correspondingly exciting.

The first way to buy a ticket for one of these clubs is via the respective club’s own ticket shops, i.e. their websites. This also means that interested parties have to go through a registration process, although the clubs’ websites are usually only available in Italian and English.

If you are unsure about this, you can also use the secondary market and thus German-language ticket exchanges such as Viagogo or StubHub. This also has the advantage that the various ticket prices are clearly displayed, making it easy to look for the cheapest ticket.

Another option for a Serie A ticket are so-called football holidays or fan holidays from special travel providers. With these package deals, buyers pay for the ticket as well as for accommodation, travel and other conditions as part of the overall package. As a result, this is a price that could be much cheaper if you were to buy tickets separately and organise travel, accommodation, etc. yourself.

How much do Serie A tickets cost?

In fact, Serie A tickets are rather expensive throughout Europe and generally cost far more than the cheaper tickets in the Bundesliga. This is especially true for the top teams in the league. Nevertheless, the attendance figures show that the coveted matches between these teams are regularly sold out. So if you want to experience the heated Milan derby at the San Siro or see the stars of Juventus Turin live, you should not shy away from high ticket prices.

For the match between AC Milan and Atalanta Bergamo, for example, half of the ticket categories cost more than 50 euros – and most of them even more than 100 euros, with the most expensive ticket costing 169 euros. The cheapest tickets at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza are around €20, although these categories are only available for very limited numbers and therefore sell out quickly.

Juventus Turin, Lazio Rome and the other top clubs are also at a similar price level, with Juventus Turin offering slightly more expensive tickets but only a total capacity of just over 40,000 seats in the Allianz Stadium.

Which Serie A tickets are the cheapest?

When it comes to experiencing a great football trip and a “Stadio Italiano” with all its fascination, it doesn’t have to be a game involving the top teams. Apart from SSC Napoli, Juventus Turin and the like, smaller clubs such as Udinese Calcio, US Sassuolo and Hellas Verona offer plenty of opportunities for an unforgettable evening of football in Italy.

The advantage of these smaller clubs is not only that the ticket prices are somewhat cheaper, but also that travelling and accommodation costs in rural areas away from Milan and Rome are less expensive.

However, it should be noted that the teams in the lower half of the table usually have smaller stadiums, where the best seats are usually snapped up quickly – especially when one of the big clubs is visiting.

If you generally want the best chances and generally the cheapest tickets, you should also take a closer look at the fixture list. Demand for midweek games is somewhat lower than at weekends, which is generally also true for the early stages of the season as opposed to the final phase of the title race.

When do tickets for Serie A go on sale?

As is usual in all European professional leagues, the fixture list for the season is also announced in Italy in July. The clubs then open advance sales for each match around four weeks before the date. There are exceptions for the top teams and top matches with high demand. In these cases, ticket sales sometimes start months before the match day, as maximum capacity is guaranteed anyway.

Anyone interested in a specific match of a specific club should therefore regularly visit the club’s website and check for ticket information.

Ticket sales via the secondary market are also linked to individual ticket sales by the individual clubs. While some clubs have their own secondary market, which only operates under certain conditions, general ticket exchanges such as Viagogo or StubHub are accessible at all times and generally offer tickets from the moment ticket sales are opened by the football clubs. This means that there can be options for tickets from the first day until shortly before a match.

Secondary market: Serie A tickets on Viagogo and Co.

It is important to know that buying tickets via the official ticket exchanges is absolutely legal and the tickets retain their general validity. Frequently discussed cases of fraud tend to occur with classified ads, eBay or transactions on social networks, with buyers taking a particular risk if they agree to pay by bank transfer.

With Viagogo, StubHub and the like, the ticket exchanges act as intermediaries between seller and buyer, which provides a higher level of security. A few details are important here:

• Secure payment methods such as PayPal provide the highest level of buyer protection and in many cases a refund of the purchase price is also possible in the event of incorrect offers.
• As tickets are available digitally and can be transferred directly to the buyer by e-mail or app, there are no shipping costs.
• Ticket prices are based on supply and demand, meaning that higher prices than those originally purchased through the club are common.
• In the case of personalised tickets, the possibility of changing the personal data should be checked – this can usually be done conveniently via an app or by sending a request to the club by the original ticket holder.
• The actual date of the match may differ from the date stated on the ticket if the ticket was purchased before the date was changed by the league management.

Are football tickets personalised in Italy?

Personalised football tickets are now widespread in Europe’s professional football leagues and are intended to limit uncontrolled ticket sales on the secondary market. Personalised tickets can also be assumed in most cases for Serie A tickets, especially when it comes to top matches with high demand.

However, this does not necessarily pose a problem for purchases on the secondary market. In many cases, tickets can be transferred directly to other people via the ticket app. In other cases, ticket holders only need to send an enquiry to a club’s ticketing department, for example by email, and provide the personal details of the new ticket holder.

Apart from this, a transfer of personal data is usually not even necessary, as checks on personal data at the entrance to a stadium almost never occur due to the tens of thousands of visitors. Only at high-risk matches with a higher security standard should ticket holders ensure that personalisation is actually correct.

Conclusion

Serie A tickets are in high demand. If you are a fan of Italian football, then you should get your tickets early. Keep an eye on the match dates and buy your tickets as early as possible.
