Buy AS Roma vs Hellas Verona tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Coppa Italia round of 16 tie scheduled for Tuesday 12 January 2027 at 21:00 local time at the Stadio Olimpico. It is a single match with no second leg. The winner goes straight into the quarter-finals in February, one step closer to a final that will also be played at the Olimpico in May.

That detail gives the night extra weight for AS Roma. Every Coppa Italia final since 2008 has been staged at the Olimpico, so a Roma run would end on home turf. The club has lifted the trophy nine times. Verona arrive from Serie B after relegation in 2026, having already won two rounds to reach this stage.
This guide covers buying with and without a club account, typical resale prices, where to sit, hospitality, delivery and every Coppa Italia meeting between the clubs. The cup record is short but telling. Across six ties since 1982, Roma have won four, Verona one and one has finished level, including the two-legged final of 1984.
Hellas Verona have earned their place. They opened their campaign in August with a home win over Virtus Entella, then won 2-1 at Cagliari in September to set up the trip to Rome. For a club rebuilding in Serie B, a knockout night at the Olimpico against one of Italy's biggest sides is the highlight of the season so far.
Roma treat the competition seriously. Their nine titles place them among the most successful clubs in the cup's history, though the most recent came in 2008. With the final booked for the Olimpico on 19 May 2027, supporters see a clear path to lifting a trophy in front of their own crowd. Knockout football also brings a sharper edge than a routine league fixture, with no chance to recover on the return leg.
The route ahead adds interest. The winner meets Juventus or Sassuolo in the quarter-finals, scheduled for the first half of February. If Roma progress, that quarter-final could bring one of the most attractive cup ties of the winter. Many buyers secure seats for this match partly to follow the run from the start.
Verona supporters travel in good numbers for a big occasion. The city sits around 500 kilometres north of Rome, roughly three hours by high-speed train, which makes a midweek trip realistic. A cup tie against Roma is also a chance for the club to show it still belongs among the top tier, which tends to lift the away following.
Demand is shaped by the calendar too. A Tuesday in January arrives soon after the winter break, when Roman supporters are eager to see their team again. The Olimpico rarely sells out for early cup rounds, which means good seats are available, but central blocks in the Tribuna Tevere and Tribuna Monte Mario still go first.
Yes, though the club route has its own rules. Coppa Italia ties usually sit outside the Serie A season ticket, so Roma sell them separately. Season ticket holders and registered supporters normally get a priority window before any general sale. For a round of 16 tie, that window can be short and the remaining stock limited to certain sectors.
Italian match tickets are nominative. Each one carries the holder's name, which must match valid photo ID at the turnstiles. Buying through the club means entering personal details for every person in the order. That can be slow for groups travelling from abroad with several passports to enter.
Club sales for cup ties also open late, often only a couple of weeks before kick-off once the date and time are confirmed by the league. Overseas visitors who need to book flights and hotels in advance rarely want to wait that long. Resale listings can appear well before the club window opens.
Visiting supporters buy through Verona's own ticketing routes, with the away sector confirmed for each fixture. Sales to travelling fans may be limited to supporters registered with the away club. Verona followers who miss out often look for seats in neutral areas, adding pressure on the Distinti and the outer Tevere sectors.
The resale market is the practical alternative. Verified sellers on 1BoxOffice list seats across the stadium, with the sector, the number of seats together and the delivery method shown before you pay. For a nominative ticket, the listing notes also explain any name-change step required.
Five drivers set the price for this tie in the 2026/27 Season: seat location, overall demand, how close the date is, the knockout context of the Coppa Italia and the hospitality tier you choose. Cup prices at the Olimpico usually sit below the level of a marquee Serie A fixture. The live listing currently starts at around £62, which makes this one of the more affordable ways to see Roma at home this season.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £60 – £90 | Fans who want to be inside the ground | Curva Nord, Distinti and upper corners with a wide view of the bowl |
| Longside standard | £80 – £130 | Couples and small groups | Outer sections of the Tribuna Tevere |
| Lower tier / central | £120 – £190+ | Buyers wanting a central view | Central Tevere blocks, usually the first to sell |
| Premium seating | £170 – £280+ | Fans wanting the clearest sightlines | Central Tribuna Monte Mario, limited supply |
| Hospitality / VIP | £250 – £500+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Packages vary by lounge, dining format and seat position |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Cup markets behave differently from league ones. Many abbonati treat early rounds as optional, so more of them list their seats. With fewer season ticket holders attending as a matter of routine, supply in the general sectors is wider, which tends to hold prices down. The exception is the central tribuna, where the same premium seats sell to the same regular buyers whatever the competition.
The schedule can still move prices. If the kick-off time shifts or the tie clashes with a busy league week, late listings can appear and soften the lower end. A strong Roma league run in December tends to have the opposite effect, as more supporters want to be there for a cup night.
Compare listings on more than the headline figure. Two seats at a similar price can differ by tier, row and distance from the away sector. Those details shape the evening far more than a few pounds. The listing notes also show delivery timing for nominative tickets.
The Olimpico has four main stands. The Curva Sud and Curva Nord sit behind the goals, with the Tribuna Monte Mario and Tribuna Tevere along the sides. The Stadio Olimpico seating plan shows how the sectors and tiers connect before you choose.
It is a multi-sport stadium with a running track around the pitch, so seats sit further from the action than at a purpose-built football ground. Height matters more than usual. A seat a few rows up often gives a clearer picture than the front rows. All matchday options are gathered in our Stadio Olimpico tickets listings.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Sud | Roma fans who want to stand and sing | Lower to mid | Home of the Roma ultras; constant noise and flags. Not for neutrals or families |
| Curva Nord | Value hunters happy behind the goal | Lower | Opposite end to the Curva Sud, quieter on cup nights with a full view of it |
| Tribuna Tevere | Couples, families and small groups | Mid | Longside stand facing the main stand, with good views of both curve |
| Tribuna Monte Mario | Buyers wanting premium seats | Premium | Main stand, home to the central premium areas and most hospitality |
| Distinti and upper corners | First-time visitors on a budget | Lower | Angled views of the whole bowl at lower prices than the tribune |
| Away sector | Verona supporters only | Lower | A designated visiting section confirmed for each fixture; yellow and blue belong here only |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans will be most comfortable in the Tribuna Tevere. It faces the main stand, gives a clear view of the Curva Sud in full voice and keeps you away from the segregation lines. Wear neutral clothing in any home section, especially if you follow Verona.
January brings its own considerations. Evening temperatures in Rome can fall to single figures, while the upper tiers catch the wind off the Tiber. The roof covers almost every seat, so rain is less of a concern than the cold. A warm layer makes a real difference over 90 minutes, with penalties possible if the tie is level.
Families do well in the outer sectors of the Tribuna Tevere, where the atmosphere is lively without the intensity of the curva and exits are straightforward. Italian disciplinary bodies can also close a curva as a sanction for crowd behaviour. Choosing a tribuna or Distinti seat avoids that risk entirely.
Roma's hospitality is concentrated in the Tribuna Monte Mario, ranging from padded seats with lounge access to private boxes. The club's published descriptions focus on central seats, Italian dining and lounges that open well before kick-off. With a 21:00 start on a winter Tuesday, a package means a warm lounge, a proper dinner and a central seat for the game.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seats with lounge access | Individuals and pairs | Central padded seats with pre-match food and drinks |
| Shared lounge with dining | Small groups and clients | A sit-down meal before kick-off and lounge access at half-time |
| Premium restaurant package | Celebrations and special occasions | A fuller menu, Italian wines and seats near the halfway line |
| Private box | Corporate groups | Exclusive space with private catering overlooking the pitch |
Cup nights are often a good moment to try hospitality at the Olimpico. Corporate demand is lower than for a weekend league fixture, so packages that sell out for the derby or a visit from Juventus are more likely to be available. Confirm exactly what is included before you pay, since lounge access, dining format and seat position vary between listings.
Hospitality also solves a practical problem: seating a group together in a good part of the ground. Packages are sold in pairs and groups by design. The lounge also offers shelter on a cold night before and after the game. Smart casual is the safe default for dress.
Timing works in a guest's favour on a cup night. Lounges usually open around two hours before kick-off, which leaves time for a relaxed dinner before a 21:00 start. Business visitors in Rome for the week can fit the evening around meetings without losing a weekend.
Because Italian tickets are nominative, delivery works slightly differently from many other countries. The delivery method is shown on every listing before you pay. Cup tickets are often issued later than league tickets, since club sales open closer to the date.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | When it arrives on your phone or app; download it before you reach the stadium |
| E-ticket (PDF) | A clear barcode and a holder name that matches your ID |
| Name change | The details the seller needs to reissue the ticket in your name, sent promptly |
| Hospitality booking | Whether entry is by e-ticket or a named guest list at the lounge entrance |
Read the listing notes for delivery timing, as Italian tickets often arrive in the final days before the game. Bring valid photo ID that matches the name on your ticket, since stewards compare the two at the turnstiles. Charge your phone fully before leaving your hotel.
Getting to the Foro Italico takes planning. Take Metro Line A to Flaminio, then tram 2 to Piazza Mancini and walk across the river in around 10 to 15 minutes. Buses also serve the area but move slowly in matchday traffic. Arrive at least an hour early, as security searches at the outer perimeter and the turnstiles both take time.
Large bags, glass bottles and pyrotechnics are not allowed inside. Travel light and leave anything bulky at your hotel. A 21:00 kick-off means a late finish, especially if the tie goes beyond 90 minutes, so plan your route back before the night begins.
Food and drink stalls line the approach roads around the Foro Italico before kick-off. On a cold January evening many supporters eat in Prati or around Piazza Mazzini before joining the crowds on the bridge. Leave enough time, as the queues at the outer security cordon build quickly in the last hour.
If your tickets have not arrived by the time stated on the listing, contact customer support rather than waiting until matchday. Late trams and buses towards the centre fill quickly after the final whistle. Taxis are scarce around the stadium, so many visitors walk back across the Ponte Duca d'Aosta before booking a ride.

Cup prices are already lower than for most league nights at the Olimpico. These habits stretch your budget further.
Rome is served by Fiumicino and Ciampino airports, both linked to the city centre by train or coach, with Termini station the main hub for onward travel. Overseas buyers usually receive mobile tickets or e-tickets, but the nominative rule still applies, so make sure the name on your ticket matches your passport. Ask for seats together when you book, as a split group has a very different night from one sitting side by side. Visitors planning a second Italian trip can follow Verona at the Marcantonio Bentegodi on another weekend.
Cup dates and times are set by the league and can change at short notice to fit broadcast schedules and European fixtures. Book flexible flights and hotels where possible, then wait for confirmation before locking in travel that cannot be changed. A January visit also brings lower hotel rates than the spring, which offsets the cost of a short city break built around the match.
The cup meetings between these clubs are rare but memorable. The first came in a group-stage game in September 1982, when Roma won 5-0 at the Bentegodi. Less than two years later the sides met in the 1984 final. Verona held Roma 1-1 at home in the first leg, before an own goal decided the return 1-0 at the Olimpico on 26 June 1984, giving Roma their fifth Coppa Italia.
That final sat in the middle of Verona's finest era. They had lost the 1983 final to Juventus and the 1976 final to Napoli, the latter played at the Olimpico, before winning the Serie A title in 1984/85. Verona took their revenge in September 1986 with a 1-0 group-stage win at home. The most recent tie came in September 1997, when Roma won 5-3 in Rome and 2-1 in Verona to go through 7-4 on aggregate.
What sets this tie apart is the gap since the last meeting. Almost three decades have passed since their last cup meeting, while January brings their first single-match knockout tie with no second leg to put things right. The 1984 final remains the reference point for both sets of supporters. The prize this time is another shot at a final at the same ground.
Only two Coppa Italia meetings have taken place at the Olimpico with Roma as hosts, too few for a reliable picture. These figures therefore cover all Coppa Italia meetings between the clubs at any venue, from September 1982 to September 1997. League meetings sit outside this scope. Roma's four wins include both legs of the 1997 tie and the decisive second leg of the 1984 final.
