Buy Bologna vs Atalanta tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match scheduled for Sunday 24 January 2027 at 15:00 local time (14:00 UK) at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. It is Serie A matchday 21, and Lega Serie A confirms the final slot for that round a few weeks in advance, so keep the whole weekend free. Two clubs that have spent the past few seasons pushing at the top half of the table meet under the Torre di Maratona in the depth of winter, with European places already on both minds.

The fixture carries recent bite. Last season's meeting here ended in a 2-0 away win in January 2026, and the two sides finished just three points apart, Atalanta seventh and Bologna eighth. For Bologna supporters, this is a chance to put that right in front of a full Dall'Ara.
It also lands at a telling point in the season. Matchday 21 falls just after the halfway mark, when European places start to take shape and every home point counts. Buyers who wait for the table to settle usually pay more for it.
The Dall'Ara holds a little over 36,000 for football, and Bologna's home support fills much of it before single-match tickets reach general sale. Season ticket holders get a priority window for every home game, and the most sought-after fixtures can be heavily committed by the time open sale starts.
Then there is the visiting side. Atalanta won the Europa League in 2024 and have been one of Italy's most consistent clubs over the last decade. They are in the Conference League league phase this season, so their travelling support will arrive with plenty of European confidence. Bergamo is roughly two hours from Bologna by road, which makes this a straightforward away day for the Nerazzurri faithful.
Bologna bring their own pedigree. They won the Coppa Italia in 2025 and played in the Champions League in 2024/25, and home crowds at the Dall'Ara have grown with that success. A Sunday afternoon game against a side of Atalanta's standing is exactly the kind of fixture that draws both regular supporters and visitors to the city.
The recent head-to-head adds edge. Atalanta have won six of the last ten meetings in Bologna, and last season's 2-0 still stings. For home fans, this is one of the games on the calendar where the atmosphere lifts before a ball is kicked.
The reverse fixture has already been played this season, with Atalanta winning 1-0 in Bergamo on the second matchday at the end of August. That makes January the first chance for Bologna to take anything from the head-to-head in 2026/27, and it gives the home crowd one more reason to turn out in force. Fixtures with a score to settle tend to sell faster than the table alone would suggest, particularly in the central sectors.
Bologna itself adds to the pull. A Sunday afternoon kick-off in one of Italy's great food cities is an easy sell for weekend visitors, and plenty of buyers from the UK and elsewhere in Europe plan a short break around a Serie A game at the Dall'Ara. That extra demand tends to land on the central Tribuna and Distinti seats that tourists favour, which is where prices move first.
You can, but the club route has limits. Bologna sell single-match tickets first to season ticket holders in a short priority window, with Premium holders able to buy up to four tickets and Standard holders up to two. General sale follows once that window closes.
For some fixtures, the club also requires buyers to hold a fidelity card, known as the We Are One Card, issued before a set date. That requirement can shut out late or overseas buyers who have not registered in advance, and it varies from match to match, so it pays to know the rules before you rely on the club's own sale.
Atalanta supporters buy through their own club's allocation for the away sector. In Italy, away sector sales can also be restricted by the authorities for security reasons, so travelling fans should always follow the visiting club's guidance before planning the trip.
The resale marketplace is the practical route for everyone else. Listings on 1BoxOffice come from verified sellers, and every order is backed by a 150% money-back guarantee if the tickets do not arrive as described. It also suits buyers who want seats together or who cannot get a fidelity card in time.
Because Italian tickets are issued to a named holder, resale in Italy usually involves a change of name through the club's system before matchday. Good listings explain how and when that happens. If a listing is vague on this point, ask before you buy, because the name on the ticket and the ID you show at the gate need to match.
Five factors shape prices for this fixture. Seat location comes first, with central Tribuna seats priced well above the curves. Demand is the second, and Atalanta's visit sits among the more requested home games of Bologna's 2026/27 season.
Timing matters as well, because prices tend to firm up once Lega Serie A confirms the kick-off slot. The competition context adds weight, with both sides chasing European places. Hospitality tiers sit in a separate bracket entirely.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £35 – £60 | Budget-minded buyers and groups | Curva areas and corner seats with a full view of the pitch |
| Longside standard | £50 – £90 | First-time visitors wanting a balanced view | Distinti seats along the side under the Torre di Maratona |
| Lower tier / central | £80 – £140+ | Fans who want to be close to the action | Central Tribuna blocks near the halfway line go first |
| Premium seating | £140 – £250+ | Couples and business visitors | Padded seats in the covered Tribuna with better access |
| Hospitality / VIP | £250 – £500+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Lounge access, catering and central covered seats |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Bologna's own 2026/27 season ticket prices run from €275 in the Curva Bulgarelli to €1,700 for the top Premium seats, so single-match face values are modest by European standards. Resale prices reflect how few seats reach open sale for a fixture of this profile, rather than the club's pricing.
The kick-off slot can also move the market. A Sunday afternoon game suits weekend visitors, while a move to a Saturday evening or a Monday night changes who can travel. When Lega Serie A confirms the timing, listings tend to reprice within days, so buyers who commit early usually pay less than those waiting for certainty.
The Stadio Renato Dall'Ara seating plan splits into four main areas. The covered Tribuna runs along one side, the Distinti face it beneath the Torre di Maratona and the two curves close off each end: the Curva Bulgarelli to the north and the Curva San Luca to the south.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribuna (central) | Comfort-first buyers and hospitality guests | High | Covered, central and closest to the dugouts; the most requested seats in the ground |
| Tribuna (lateral) | Buyers who want cover at a lower price | Mid to high | Still under the roof, with an angled view towards one goal |
| Distinti | First-time visitors and neutrals | Mid | Side-on view beneath the Torre di Maratona; largely uncovered, so dress for January |
| Curva Bulgarelli | Home supporters who want noise and atmosphere | Lower | Bologna's home end and the heart of the singing; not for neutrals in rival colours |
| Curva San Luca | Budget buyers and groups | Lower | The southern end, shared with the separated visitors' sector |
| Settore ospiti | Atalanta supporters | Set by allocation | The segregated away sector at the San Luca end; black and blue belongs here only |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should aim for the Tribuna or the Distinti, where you get a clear view of both penalty boxes and avoid the most partisan areas. The Tribuna is the only side with full cover, which matters on a January afternoon in Emilia-Romagna. Behind the goals the views are lower and flatter, so the curves suit atmosphere-seekers more than anyone who wants to follow the shape of the game. For more on the ground and its other fixtures, see our Stadio Renato Dall'Ara guide.
The stadium opened in 1927 as the Stadio Littoriale and was renamed in 1983 after Renato Dall'Ara, the president who led Bologna through their golden era. It hosted matches at the 1934 and 1990 World Cups, and modernisation plans are linked to Italy's role in hosting Euro 2032.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seat | Fans upgrading from a standard ticket | A padded central Tribuna seat under the roof |
| Lounge package | Couples and small groups | Pre-match food and drinks in a warm lounge before a winter kick-off |
| Gold seat package | Business hosts entertaining clients | Top-category central seats with dining and priority access |
| Private suite (where offered) | Corporate groups and celebrations | A reserved space with catering and a view over the pitch |
Bologna's top seated categories include the Poltrona Gold, and hospitality products sit around the covered Tribuna. Packages differ in arrival time, dress code and what is included, so read each listing's notes carefully before you commit. Hospitality is also one of the easiest ways to secure several seats together for a group, since standard blocks of four or more are hard to find once general sale opens.
For visitors from abroad, a hospitality package also solves two practical problems at once: a guaranteed covered seat and a warm place to eat before a January afternoon game.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Bologna FC app ticket | Digital tickets are loaded to the club app; confirm when the seller will transfer the seat and in whose name |
| Fidelity card ticket | Some tickets are linked to a We Are One Card; confirm whether the listing needs a named card holder change |
| Hospitality pass | Confirm where the pass is issued and which entrance serves the lounge |
| E-ticket (PDF) | Make sure you receive a printable file and bring a clean copy or a clear screenshot |
Italian stadiums use named tickets, so the name on the ticket and your ID need to match or be changed through the club's system in advance. Read the listing notes for the delivery method and any name-change process, bring valid photo ID and charge your phone fully before you leave.
The stadium sits on Via Andrea Costa, west of the historic centre. Bus lines 14, 20 and 21 run from downtown, and the walk from the central railway station takes around 40 to 45 minutes. Aim to arrive an hour early, as security screening at the gates can take time on a busy Sunday.
Parking near the stadium is limited on matchdays, so public transport or a taxi to the area is the simpler choice. After the final whistle, buses back to the centre fill quickly; a short walk back towards the old city walls or a coffee nearby while the crowds thin makes the journey easier. If you are sitting in the Distinti or the curves, pack a waterproof layer, as those sectors are exposed to the weather.

Most overseas buyers receive tickets by digital transfer, so you can buy from abroad and have everything ready before you land. Request seats together at the point of purchase if you travel as a group, and give the seller the exact name on your passport so the ticket can be issued correctly. Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport sits just outside the city, and the historic centre is a short transfer away.
Serie A kick-off times are confirmed only a few weeks ahead, so book flexible flights and hotels that cover the full weekend. Atalanta supporters travelling from Bergamo face a journey of around two hours, and many will make a day trip of it. A 15:00 start on a Sunday leaves time for lunch in the old town before the game and an evening flight or train afterwards. Bologna Centrale is also a major high-speed rail hub, so visitors based in Florence or Milan can reach the city quickly by train and make a day trip of the match.
Bologna have hosted Atalanta in Serie A 55 times, and for most of that history the Dall'Ara was a fortress in this fixture. After a heavy 6-2 defeat in September 1949, Bologna went 27 home meetings without losing to Atalanta, a run that stretched from 1951 all the way to 1998. That spell included the club's golden era, with 5-0 wins in May 1960 and January 1968 and a 2-0 victory in September 1963 during the season that brought Bologna's seventh league title.
The modern era looks very different. Since the turn of the century Atalanta have become one of Serie A's strongest sides, and ten of their eleven wins at the Dall'Ara have come since December 2000. Bologna's revival in the 2020s has narrowed the gap again: the 1-0 win in December 2023 came in the season they qualified for the Champions League, although Atalanta answered with a 2-0 win here in January 2026.
That long unbeaten run grew out of Bologna's standing as one of Italy's great clubs. They won seven league titles between 1925 and 1964, and Atalanta's early visits came at the height of that era: a 1-0 win in November 1940 arrived during the 1940/41 title season, followed by a 4-0 a year later. For decades, a trip to Bologna was among the hardest assignments on Atalanta's calendar.
What makes the fixture distinctive is how completely the balance has swung. For almost fifty years Atalanta could barely buy a point in Bologna; since 2000 they have been the side more likely to win here. With both clubs now regulars in the top half, every meeting feels like a test of which project is ahead.

Broken down by era, Bologna won 21 of their 26 home meetings with Atalanta before 1970, while the record since 2000 stands at seven wins, three draws and ten defeats. The last ten meetings in Bologna have produced just two home wins, which is why home fans treat this fixture with more caution than the overall record suggests.
Bologna average just over one and a half goals per game in this fixture at home, against fewer than one for Atalanta, but that average is heavily shaped by the early decades. The 13 draws include a 1-1 in September 2024, the last shared result before Atalanta's win in January 2026. Recent meetings have tended to be tight, low-scoring affairs, and none of the last ten games in Bologna has been decided by more than two goals, so expect a tense afternoon rather than a rout.
