There is plenty of recent history to feed it. Bologna knocked Roma out of the Europa League round of 16 in March 2026, winning the second leg 4-3 in Rome, before Roma won 2-0 at the Dall'Ara in the league a month later. Anyone planning to follow Bologna this winter will find few home dates with more needle.
The Dall'Ara holds just over 36,000, which is modest for a club with seven Italian titles and a demanding crowd. Capacity is tight for a fixture of this profile and the central seats in the Tribuna go first. Serie A confirms exact kick-off times in batches a few weeks before each round, so the listed time can still move.
Roma travel in numbers. Rome sits just over two hours away by high-speed train, which puts Bologna within easy reach of the capital for a Sunday trip. Add a large community of Roma supporters living in the north and the demand for this fixture comes from both sides of the ground.
The visiting club carries its own pull. Following AS Roma away has long been a ritual for fans from the capital and a match in one of Italy's great food cities makes the trip easy to sell to friends. When the away allocation sells through, some visiting fans look for neutral seats instead, which squeezes supply in the rest of the ground.
The recent competitive history sharpens things further. The two clubs met four times in 2025/26 across Serie A and the Europa League, with Bologna winning the European tie and Roma taking the league meeting in Bologna. Home fans will want a response to that April defeat and Roma supporters will want to show the European exit was a one-off.
December timing adds a final layer. Points gathered before the winter break decide who is in the race for the European places and a Sunday evening match between two clubs with continental ambitions tends to draw a national television audience. That profile lifts interest from occasional visitors as well as regulars.
For buyers, the practical result is clear. This is not a fixture where you can expect to walk up and pick a seat on the day and groups in particular should not leave it late. Well-placed areas usually sell through well before matchday.
Yes, but the club route gets harder for high-profile matches. Bologna sells tickets online and through Vivaticket outlets, usually starting about a week before the match. For big fixtures, the club can limit or prioritise sales for holders of its We Are One fidelity card, which costs a small fee and is aimed at regular supporters.
Season ticket holders take a large share of the ground before any single-match sale begins. That leaves a limited pool for general buyers and the first sale window for a match against Roma can close quickly. If you are not a card holder and do not live in Italy, timing a purchase around those windows is difficult.
A verified resale marketplace removes that pressure. You can pick the sector you want, see the price up front and buy without joining a loyalty scheme. For overseas fans and first-time visitors, it is often the simpler route.
Italian match tickets are issued in the holder's name, so bring photo ID that matches the details you give at the time of purchase. Read the listing notes to see how names are handled for your seats. Stewards can ask to see ID at the turnstiles and it is also needed when collecting tickets in person.
Visiting supporters face extra rules. Sales for the away sector can be limited to Roma's own loyalty card holders or restricted by the authorities for security reasons, so Roma fans should buy inside the away section only where the listing confirms it.
Families should bear in mind that children need a ticket of their own. Under-18 prices exist for some sectors through club sales, but resale listings are usually priced per seat whatever the age of the holder, so budget for every member of the group.
Five things shape the price for this match. Seat location comes first, with the central Tribuna always at the top of the range. Demand follows and a visit from Roma sits near the top of Bologna's home calendar.
Timing matters as well: prices move as the 2026/27 season unfolds and the kick-off time is confirmed. Competition context counts, because a Serie A fixture with European places at stake draws more interest than a midtable league date. Finally, the hospitality tier you choose sets its own bracket.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva / less central | £40 – £75 | Budget-minded buyers who want atmosphere | Behind the goal; expect to stand and sing with the home support |
| Distinti standard | £55 – £100 | Fans who want a side-on view | Long side opposite the main stand, beneath the Torre di Maratona |
| Tribuna lateral | £75 – £140 | Couples and small groups | Covered seating towards the corners of the main stand |
| Tribuna central | £120 – £220+ | Buyers who want a clear central view | Covered, close to the halfway line; supply is thin |
| Hospitality / VIP | £260 – £600+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Includes catering, lounge access and a premium seat |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
For context, the club's own prices for lower-profile league matches start at around €25 for an adult, with hospitality packages beginning at around €300. Resale sits above those figures for a fixture of this size because it gives you access once club sales have closed.
The ground is laid out in four sections around an athletics track, so some seats sit further from the pitch than at newer stadiums. The Stadio Renato Dall'Ara seating plan shows how the sectors fit together.
For the wider matchday picture, from the history of the ground to getting there on the day, see our guide to the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. It pairs well with the seat advice below.
The Tribuna Coperta is the covered main stand, home to the premium seats and the hospitality areas. Opposite sits the Distinti, the open long side overlooked by the Torre di Maratona. The Curva Bulgarelli at the north end houses Bologna's most vocal supporters, while the Curva San Luca at the south end contains the away sector.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribuna Coperta, central | Buyers who want a covered, central view | Upper | Close to the dugouts and protected from December rain |
| Tribuna Coperta, lateral | Couples and families | Middle to upper | Covered seats with an angled view towards the corners |
| Distinti | Neutrals who want a side-on view | Middle | Open to the weather, so pack a waterproof for an evening kick-off |
| Curva Bulgarelli | Fans who want noise and colour | Lower | Home end; wear Bologna colours or neutral clothing only |
| Curva San Luca, home side | Budget buyers and groups | Lower | Behind the goal at the south end, next to the segregated away area |
| Away sector (Curva San Luca) | Roma supporters | Lower | Segregated section at the south end with its own access; Roma colours only here and sales can be restricted |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should aim for the Distinti or the lateral Tribuna. Both avoid the colours issue that comes with the two curves and give a fair view of both teams. If you are travelling with Roma supporters, do not buy home seats and wear the shirt, as stewards can refuse entry.
The track around the pitch is the main thing first-time visitors notice. The lower rows of the curves sit well back from the goal line, so a seat higher up often gives a better overall view than one near the front. On the long sides, a place towards the middle rows usually balances closeness and angle.
Weather matters in December too. Only the Tribuna is fully covered, so if rain is forecast for an evening kick-off, the extra cost of a covered seat can be worth paying. Fans in the Distinti and the curves should dress for a cold, damp night.
Accessible places are handled separately from standard seats. If you or a member of your group needs one, confirm with the listing notes before paying that the seat suits your needs, including step-free access and space for a companion.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Selenella Club | Couples and small groups | An informal lounge with buffet and finger food before the match |
| Bernardini Terrace | Larger corporate parties | A terrace for up to 250 guests with a view of the pitch and table service before kick-off |
| Volvo Area | Guests who want to feel close to the action | Direct pitch access, a pitch-side buffet and reserved parking |
| Skybox and Pitch-side Booth | Private parties and client entertaining | Eight-seat private rooms with dedicated catering and heating |
The club's published hospitality descriptions place these areas in and around the main stand, so every tier comes with a covered seat. Most packages include a VIP entrance and dedicated staff and several add reserved parking, which is rare at a ground where most fans arrive by bus or on foot.
For a Sunday evening in December, hospitality has a practical upside. You spend the build-up indoors with food and drink, then take your seat shortly before the teams walk out. Bologna is known across Italy for its cooking and the club's lounges lean into that with regional food on the menu.
Packages at this level tend to go early for a visit from Roma. If you want a lounge place, allow more lead time than you would for a standard seat and confirm what the package includes before you pay.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| E-ticket (PDF) | That the name on the ticket matches the photo ID you will carry |
| Mobile ticket | That the transfer opens on your phone and shows in the correct app before matchday |
| Paper ticket by courier | That your delivery address is correct and someone can sign for the envelope |
| Collection in Bologna | The meeting point, collection window and contact details in your order confirmation |
Read the listing notes before you pay, since they show the delivery method and any restriction on the seat. Bring valid photo ID on matchday, as Italian tickets carry the holder's name. If you are using a mobile ticket, charge your phone fully before you leave.
Tickets for Serie A matches are often released to sellers close to matchday, so do not worry if yours arrive in the final week. Your order stays covered throughout and the delivery timeline appears in your confirmation email.
The stadium is around three kilometres west of the historic centre. Bus lines 14 and 21 stop at Stadio on the north side and line 94 serves the south side, while the walk from Bologna Centrale takes 40 to 45 minutes. Parking near the ground fills early, so public transport is the easier choice.
Expect bag searches and segregation around the ground, particularly near the away sector. Arrive well before kick-off to allow time for queues at the turnstiles on a busy evening.

Value is not only about the lowest number on the screen. A covered seat at a fair price can make a wet December evening far more enjoyable than a lower-priced place in the open. Set a budget first, then pick the sector that gives you the most for it.
Keep an eye on the table in the weeks before the match as well. If both sides are chasing the European places, interest rises and prices follow. A quieter run of form in November can work in your favour and leave more listings at the lower end.
Overseas buyers have plenty of choice on delivery. E-tickets and mobile transfers suit anyone flying in the day before the match, while courier delivery works best if you have a fixed home address and time to spare. Bologna's Guglielmo Marconi Airport links to Bologna Centrale by the Marconi Express shuttle train in a few minutes and buses run from the city centre to the ground.
Seats together are easier to secure early, so groups should not wait for the last week. Keep your travel plans flexible where you can, as Serie A fixtures can move by a day once television slots are fixed. Refundable hotel rates and later flight booking reduce that risk.
Many visitors combine a trip to Bologna with a few days elsewhere in Italy. Rome is just over two hours away by high-speed train, so a longer stay could include one of Roma's Champions League evenings, such as AS Roma vs Real Madrid at the Stadio Olimpico. Florence and Milan are also within easy reach by rail.
Roma supporters travelling north should plan the return journey before the match. An evening kick-off can finish close to the last fast trains to Rome, so build in a hotel night or book a later connection to avoid a rush after the final whistle.
If you are staying in the centre, give yourself time to enjoy the city before heading to the ground. The porticoes of the old town make it easy to walk between restaurants and sights even in winter rain and many visitors plan a long lunch before a Sunday evening kick-off. Allow at least an hour to reach the stadium from the centre on matchday.
This is one of Serie A's longest-running meetings. The first match in Bologna was played in June 1930 and the two clubs have now met close to 80 times in the top flight under the city's Two Towers. Bologna's great side of the 1960s made the Dall'Ara a hard place for any visitor and Roma's own title-chasing eras turned the trip into a regular test of ambition.
Since Bologna returned to Serie A in 2015, the fixture has swung back and forth. Roma won heavily in April 2017 and again in December 2020, when they scored five at the Dall'Ara. Bologna answered with home wins in September 2018, December 2021 and December 2023 and the 2025 meeting ended 2-2 after a stoppage-time Roma equaliser.
Then came 2025/26. Bologna knocked Roma out of the Europa League in March 2026, drawing 1-1 at the Dall'Ara before winning 4-3 in Rome. Roma replied with a 2-0 league win in Bologna in April, a result that kept their hopes of a top-four finish alive. The reverse league meeting, AS Roma vs Bologna, carries the same edge in the second half of the season.
Bologna's Coppa Italia win in May 2025, the club's first major domestic trophy since 1974, changed how this fixture is viewed in the city. Home fans no longer see a visit from Roma as a meeting with a bigger club but as a contest between equals. That shift in expectation adds weight to every result and the crowd reacts accordingly.
What makes this tie distinctive is how little separates the sides in recent seasons. Since 2015 the results at the Dall'Ara have been split almost evenly and the European meeting in 2026 added fresh edge. For a buyer, that means a fixture where the result feels open from the first whistle.
The ground adds to the sense of occasion. Opened in 1927 as the Littoriale and renamed in 1983 after the former club president Renato Dall'Ara, it hosted World Cup matches in 1934 and 1990. The Torre di Maratona still rises over the Distinti and remains one of the most recognisable sights in Italian football.
The Dall'Ara has hosted close to 80 Serie A meetings between these clubs since 1930. The table below focuses on the modern era: all Serie A meetings at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara with Bologna as hosts since the club's return to the top flight in 2015/16.
Across those 11 matches the record is tight, with Roma edging the wins and the goals. The draws tell their own story, as four of the eleven games ended level, including two 2-2 finishes.
