Sassuolo Tickets

The ground is the part that surprises people. Sassuolo do not play in Sassuolo. Their home is the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia, fifteen kilometres away, and their owner bought it outright in 2013, which makes them one of very few clubs in Italy to own the stadium they play in. Everything below covers which stand suits which kind of supporter, what resale prices look like and where every home and away league fixture can be found.

The Away Team That Owns the Ground

Sassuolo is a town of roughly 41,000 people in the ceramics belt of Emilia, and it does not have a stadium fit for Serie A. When the club reached the top flight in 2013, Mapei, the building-products company owned by the Squinzi family who also own the club, bought the Città del Tricolore in Reggio Emilia outright and renamed it. Reggiana, the club actually from that city, are tenants in a ground their neighbours own.

That arrangement shapes everything about buying a ticket here. The home support is genuinely small, drawn from a town rather than a city and asked to travel to another one to watch. The ground holds 21,584 and rarely fills for anything short of a marquee opponent, which makes this among the more available fixtures in Serie A for a neutral or a visiting supporter.

The commercial implication is worth stating plainly. If your reason for travelling is to see Inter, Juventus, Milan, Napoli or Roma in Italy, the Mapei Stadium is a considerably easier route in than San Siro or the Olimpico, at a fraction of the price, in a ground close enough to the pitch that you see more. That is the strongest argument for a fixture here and it is a genuine one.

Why Fans Buy Through 1BoxOffice

1BoxOffice has traded as a ticket marketplace since 2006, which covers most of the modern history of online football resale. That length of trading matters for a purchase where the product often does not reach your hands until the week of the match. Sellers are verified before their inventory goes live, and every confirmed order carries a guarantee that pays out well above what you spent if something goes wrong.

For a Sassuolo fixture the value is being able to fix a seat before you commit to the logistics, because getting to Reggio Emilia takes planning even though the trains are good. You can see the stand, the quantity available and the price before buying, and you can compare several listings for the same fixture side by side. Delivery progress is trackable from the moment the order confirms.

• 150% money-back guarantee on every confirmed order
• Verified sellers with inventory checked before listings go live
• Established in 2006 with two decades of marketplace trading
• Secure encrypted payment at checkout

What Fills the Mapei Stadium

Sassuolo attendances are among the lowest in Serie A in absolute terms and that is a function of the town's size rather than indifference. What changes the picture is the visiting support, because a ground of 21,584 with a modest home following gives away sections proportionally more room than they get almost anywhere else in the division.

Demand still separates sharply by fixture, and the drivers below are the ones that actually move availability in Reggio Emilia. Most of them are opponents rather than trends, which is the clearest sign of how this market works.

• The visits of the big clubs. Inter, Juventus, Milan, Napoli and Roma each bring a travelling support that can approach the size of the home crowd. These are the dates that sell out and the only ones where late buying is a real risk.
• Juventus in particular. Sassuolo have a habit of beating Juventus that is out of all proportion to the two clubs' resources, including at this ground. It is the fixture the neroverdi support most wants and the away allocation goes immediately.
• Domenico Berardi. Fifteen seasons, over 100 goals and every one of his Serie A goals scored for this club. A one-club career of that length is rare enough in modern football that supporters travel specifically to see it while it lasts.
• Aquilani's first season. A coach who played here in 2017 alongside Berardi, returning to manage him, is a story with local weight. First seasons under a new manager sell earlier than the fixture list suggests.
• A shared ground. The Mapei Stadium also hosts Reggiana, which means the fixture calendar has to accommodate two clubs and dates move to avoid clashes. Check the confirmed date rather than assuming.
• Emilia as a destination. Reggio Emilia sits between Parma, Modena and Bologna on the Via Emilia, in the middle of the finest food region in Italy. A share of any crowd is combining the match with a few days in the area.
• The academy trade. Sassuolo have sold Locatelli, Raspadori, Scamacca and Frattesi to bigger clubs in recent years, and supporters follow the current crop for the same reason. Watching the next sale before it happens is part of the appeal.
• Generous away allocations. Visiting supporters take a designated section and the allocation is larger relative to capacity than at most Serie A grounds, which is exactly why travelling fans rate this fixture.

The practical conclusion is that Sassuolo is the easiest ticket in Serie A for most of the calendar and a genuinely tight one for five or six dates. Judge which category your fixture falls into before deciding how early to move.

What You'll Pay and Why

Resale pricing at the Mapei Stadium is at the lower end of Serie A and stays there for most of the season, because a 21,584-capacity ground with a small home support has real spare capacity. Club face values for a single match have run in the region of £25 to £80 depending on the sector and the opponent. The 2026/27 Serie A calendar runs from late August 2026 to the end of May 2027.

Timing works in the buyer's favour more often here than almost anywhere else in the division. For ordinary league fixtures listings frequently soften as the date approaches rather than firming, because the ground is not going to sell out. For the visits of the big five the market moves the other way and moves quickly, and the gap between the two behaviours is wider at this club than at any other.

The bands below reflect typical resale ranges across a season rather than any individual listing. They are quoted in pounds because that is how the marketplace prices, and they will not map neatly onto euro face values once demand is accounted for.

Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift. Early-round Coppa Italia ties are the lowest-priced football available in the top division, because Sassuolo enter against lower-league opposition in front of a fraction of a league crowd.

Can You Buy Sassuolo Tickets Without Membership?

Yes. Sassuolo do not gate general sale behind a paid membership and there is no card requirement for an ordinary home fixture, which makes them among the most straightforward clubs in Serie A for an international visitor. The club runs a fidelity card within the Tessera del Tifoso framework, and what it buys is priority and away access rather than the right to buy at all.

Where the card matters is the same place it matters everywhere in Italy. Away allocations bought through club channels require it, and for fixtures classed as higher risk the prefecture can restrict sales to cardholders or by province of residence, sometimes with only days of notice. Applications take time to process from outside Italy, which is the practical obstacle rather than the cost.

The genuine constraint here is not the paperwork but the calendar, and only for a handful of dates. Single-match sales open close to the fixture, which is unusable if you are booking travel to Emilia two months ahead. Resale removes that dependency and the stand you choose is the stand you get. Read each listing for notes on name matching or collection before committing, because Italian grounds check identity against the ticket at the gate.

The Abbonamento and the Curva

Sassuolo's season ticket base is the smallest in Serie A by some distance, which is arithmetic rather than criticism: a town of 41,000 asked to travel to another city cannot generate the numbers a metropolitan club can. What that produces is a season ticket that costs less than a handful of single matches at San Siro and is genuinely obtainable.

Renewal runs in phases through the summer with existing holders given pre-emption before new applications open, but unlike at most Serie A clubs the sectors do not fill. For a supporter based in Emilia or making repeat visits, the abbonamento here is the strongest value proposition in the division. The ranges below reflect typical full-season resale and secondary-market bands rather than club list prices, which the club publishes separately each summer.

Where to Sit at the Mapei Stadium

The Mapei Stadium is four separate stands built close to the pitch with no running track, which is unusual in Italy and is the main reason visiting supporters rate it. Capacity is 21,584 and the sightlines are good from everywhere, so the choice here is about atmosphere and price rather than about whether you can see.

A Ground in Another City

This section exists because the geography here catches people out more than anything else on this page. Sassuolo the town is in the province of Modena and the stadium is in Reggio Emilia in the neighbouring province, about fifteen kilometres and a provincial border apart. If you book accommodation in Sassuolo expecting to walk to the match, you have made a mistake that is easy to avoid.

The ownership position is the other unusual part. Mapei bought the ground outright in 2013, which puts Sassuolo in a very small group of Italian clubs that own their stadium rather than renting a municipal one. The practical benefits show up in the condition of the place and in the fact that the club can invest in it without a council negotiation.

Following the Neroverdi on the Road

Sassuolo's travelling support is small in absolute terms, which means allocations are rarely the binding constraint and the away sections are seldom full. Italian away rules still apply. Sales through club channels require the fidelity card and prefectural decrees can restrict or close sales by province of residence at short notice.

Matching the Seat to the Matchday You Want

Choosing at the Mapei Stadium is simpler than at most Italian grounds, because there is no running track, no obstructed view and no vast upper tier. Emilia is humid into September and cold and foggy from December, and cover is the main variable rather than sightline.

The Mapei Stadium Experience

The Mapei Stadium was built as the Stadio Giglio and reopened as the Città del Tricolore, named for the Italian flag which was first adopted in Reggio Emilia in 1797. Mapei bought it outright in 2013 when Sassuolo reached Serie A and needed a ground that met top-flight requirements, and it has carried the company name since. Capacity is 21,584.

The layout is four separate stands close to the pitch with no athletics track, which is why supporters who have been to both prefer it to grounds three times the size. The curve behind the goals hold the vocal support and the main grandstand carries the dugouts and the premium seating, with the side stand opposite giving a square-on view at a lower price. Visiting supporters take a designated section of one end or a corner.

It sits on the northern edge of Reggio Emilia rather than in the centre, in an area of light industry and car parks rather than bars and restaurants. That is worth knowing when planning the evening, because the pre-match and post-match trade happens in the city rather than around the ground.

Getting there is easy by Italian standards once you accept that you are going to Reggio Emilia. The city sits on the Milan to Bologna line, with the Mediopadana high-speed station outside the city and Reggio Emilia centrale on the conventional line, and both Parma and Modena are around twenty minutes away by train. The stadium is a bus or taxi ride from the centre rather than a walk.

Pre-match belongs to Reggio Emilia, and the city rewards the detour. The Piazza Prampolini and the streets around it fill in the early evening, the parmigiano and the lambrusco are local rather than imported and the whole province between Parma and Bologna is among the finest eating in Europe. Most visiting supporters make a weekend of it rather than a day trip.

Entry follows the standard Italian pattern of personalised tickets checked against photo identification at the gate. Crowds are modest, the approaches are not congested and the process is quicker than at any of the larger Serie A grounds. Full detail on the ground sits on the Mapei Stadium tickets page, and the Mapei Stadium seating plan breaks the sectors down before you choose.

Matchday With the Extras

Hospitality at the Mapei Stadium is concentrated in the central main grandstand and the scale reflects a club of this size, though the fact that Sassuolo own the ground means the facilities are better maintained than at several larger municipal stadiums. Availability binds well before price does.

For a supporter travelling from abroad the appeal is practical. You get central covered seating, catering included and somewhere indoors either side of a match in a part of Italy that gets genuinely cold and foggy in midwinter. The bands below reflect typical resale ranges across a season and are among the lowest hospitality figures in Serie A.

From Search to Seat in Eight Steps

Buying through a marketplace takes a few minutes, and at Sassuolo one step matters more than it would elsewhere: confirming where and when the match is actually being played. Work through the eight steps below and you will have covered what usually goes wrong.

One practical note: the stadium sits on the northern edge of Reggio Emilia in an industrial district with little around it, so eat before you travel out or plan to eat in the city afterwards. There is no stadium precinct to fall back on.
