Buy Bologna vs Monza tickets for the 2026/27 Season. Bologna host Monza at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Saturday 31 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00 local time in matchday ten of Serie A. A Saturday afternoon slot is the most accessible of the Italian league's windows, which matters for anyone travelling from outside the region.

There is a neat symmetry to the date. These clubs met in Serie A for the first time on 31 October 2022, so this fixture falls exactly four years on from the first meeting. Demand for Bologna tickets has shifted a long way in that time, because the club that once sold seats easily now carries a Coppa Italia win from 2025 plus a run of seasons that changed what a Saturday at the Dall'Ara is worth.
Monza arrive back in the top flight after an immediate return, promoted through the Serie B play-offs following relegation in 2024/25. That gives the fixture something it lacked in its first three seasons: a visiting side with a point to prove rather than one drifting through a mid-table campaign.
The Dall'Ara holds a little over 36,000, which was comfortably more than Bologna needed for most of the past two decades. That is no longer the case. Season card uptake has climbed with the club's results, so the pool of seats reaching single-match sale for any given fixture is smaller than the raw capacity suggests.
Monza travel modestly by Serie A standards, though the fixture still draws a visiting following from Brianza. Demand for Monza tickets has picked up since promotion, with a Saturday afternoon in Emilia an easy trip from Lombardy: barely two hours on the A1 with a return the same evening.
What lifts this above a routine date is the record. Monza have won once at the Dall'Ara, a 1-0 in February 2023 that remains their only Serie A victory over Bologna anywhere. The home support has not forgotten an afternoon that ended without a shot in anger.
Broadcast scheduling helps the buyer here. A 15:00 Saturday slot is fixed early in the Italian calendar rather than shuffled late, so travel booked around this fixture carries less risk than it would for a midweek round or a Sunday evening pick.
One uncertainty has also been removed. Plans to rebuild the Dall'Ara, which would have moved Bologna into a temporary ground for two seasons, were shelved in February 2026 when the city withdrew its funding commitment. Anyone booking a trip around this fixture can treat the venue as settled rather than provisional.
Yes. Bologna sell season cards first, then open single-match windows for whatever remains. For a fixture outside the marquee bracket that window opens with genuine inventory. This is not Juventus or Inter at the Dall'Ara, where the general sale can be gone within hours.
Italian clubs also run fidelity card schemes that give holders priority plus reduced prices, though these are rarely compulsory for a standard league fixture. Where they do bite is on higher-category matches, when local authorities can restrict sales in certain sectors to card holders or to residents outside the visiting club's province.
Single-match sales typically open a week or two ahead of the date, once the broadcast slot is settled. That timeline works if you live in Emilia-Romagna. It is close to useless if you are booking flights from London, Dubai or Doha two months in advance.
Resale exists to close that gap. Listings surface from season card holders who cannot make a particular Saturday, from fidelity card holders who bought in a priority window plus from supporters whose plans changed. It is how buyers with no Italian residency history and no card get a confirmed seat number months ahead.
Visiting supporters face a separate consideration. Italian away allocations are set match by match by the local authorities rather than by the clubs. Sales to residents of the visiting province can be limited to the designated sector or restricted further on policing grounds. Those decisions land late, which is why Monza supporters often look at home areas as a fallback.
Five factors set the price of a listing. Sector comes first, because the Dall'Ara is a compact ground where the covered Tribuna and the open Distinti offer genuinely different experiences at genuinely different prices. Demand is second. This fixture sits in the middle of the Bologna calendar rather than at the top of it.
Fixture timing is third: a Saturday 15:00 kick-off is the friendliest slot in the Italian week for families plus travelling supporters alike. Competition context is fourth, since a league meeting with a promoted side prices differently from a visit by a European qualifier. Hospitality tier is fifth. At a ground of this age the premium inventory is limited.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva San Luca and upper corners | £30 – £55 | Budget-first buyers | Behind the south goal. Furthest from the play because of the running track, though sightlines stay open |
| Curva Bulgarelli | £35 – £65 | Atmosphere over comfort | The home end. Standing, singing and flags throughout, so not the sector for a first visit with children |
| Distinti | £50 – £90 | Balanced view at a fair price | The open side beneath the Torre Maratona. The most common resale category for neutral buyers |
| Tribuna, central blocks | £90 – £170+ | Buyers who want the halfway line | Covered and central, closest to the tunnel. Supply is tight once season cards are counted |
| Premium and hospitality | £190 – £380+ | Corporate guests plus milestone trips | Concentrated in the Tribuna and sold as packages rather than plain seats |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
One structural point about this ground. The Dall'Ara retains a running track, which pushes every seat a few metres further from the touchline than at a purpose-built football stadium, so elevation is worth more than proximity here. A higher row in the Distinti frequently beats a front row anywhere for the money.
Face values at Bologna sit in the middle of the Serie A range rather than at the top, which changes how a resale figure should be read. A listing at double the club price can still cost less than a comparable seat at San Siro or the Allianz Stadium, so judge the number against other Italian away days rather than against the club's own tariff.
The ground opened in 1927 and runs on four macro-sectors: the Curva Bulgarelli behind the north goal, the Curva San Luca behind the south, the covered Tribuna along one side plus the open Distinti opposite. The Stadio Renato Dall'Ara seating plan maps the block numbering, which rewards a look before you commit.
Visiting supporters sit in the settore ospiti, a designated section within the Curva San Luca end with its own entrance plus a separate approach. Wider matchday detail, from gate timings to the walk in from the city, sits on the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara tickets guide.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Bulgarelli | Home support, noise, flags | Lower to mid | Expect to stand for the full match. Sit higher in the curve if you want the view alongside the singing |
| Distinti | Neutrals plus visiting fans in neutral colours | Mid | Open to the sky beneath the brick tower. Rows above the halfway point give the cleanest tactical picture |
| Tribuna | Comfort, cover, central viewing | Mid to high | The only covered side. Central blocks command the strongest premium in the ground |
| Curva San Luca | Lower-priced entry | Lower | Quieter than the Bulgarelli end and further from the action, but the most affordable reliable way in |
| Settore ospiti | Monza supporters | Set by allocation | A designated section holding a few thousand, with segregated entry. Visiting colours belong here alone |
| Accessible positions | Wheelchair users plus companions | Concession pricing | Limited in number at a ground of this age and allocated in advance. Arrange these directly rather than through resale |
For neutral buyers still weighing it up, the Distinti is the honest answer. It gives a full view of both penalty areas, keeps you clear of the segregation lines plus avoids the price step into the Tribuna. Monza supporters buying outside the visiting allocation should wear neutral clothing, since Italian grounds enforce colours rules firmly.
The Distinti has one feature no other sector offers. It sits beneath the Torre Maratona, the great brick tower built into the fabric of the ground in the 1920s, which makes it the sector people photograph rather than merely sit in. That does not improve the view, but it is part of why a first visit here is worth planning around.
Premium provision at the Dall'Ara sits in the Tribuna, the one covered side of a ground built in the 1920s and modernised in stages since. The scale is modest against the newer Serie A venues, which is exactly why the better packages move early rather than lingering into the final week.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Central Tribuna hospitality | Couples plus small groups marking an occasion | Padded central seating with lounge access before the match and at half time |
| Private boxes | Companies hosting clients | Enclosed box with catering plus dedicated service, overlooking the halfway line |
| Premium Tribuna seating | Visitors who want cover without a full package | Covered central seats at a lower entry point than lounge hospitality |
| Group premium blocks | Travel parties of eight or more | Seats held together in one sector, which single-ticket buying rarely achieves here |
Two buyers should weigh the step up seriously. Anyone attending at the end of October, when the Emilian plain turns cold and damp after dark, will feel the difference between a covered seat plus an open one. So will any group of six or more, because keeping a party together at a ground where season cards absorb the central blocks takes planning rather than luck.
Hospitality packages are usually named to the lead booker plus carry stricter transfer terms than a standard ticket. Read those terms at the point of purchase rather than on the morning of the match.
Italian league matches are sold on a named-ticket basis, so the details entered at purchase matter more here than in some other leagues. Stewards can ask you to match the name on the ticket against photo identification, particularly in segregated areas plus at higher-category fixtures.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile transfer | That the phone number or email on the order matches yours. Confirm the transfer has landed before you travel, since a screenshot will not scan |
| E-ticket or PDF | That the file opens with a legible barcode. Print a spare rather than relying on hotel wi-fi on the morning of the match |
| Collection in Bologna | The collection point, its opening hours plus which identity document is required. Allow extra time on matchday |
| Courier or physical delivery | That the address stays valid across the whole delivery window. Somebody must be available to sign for the package |
Whichever method the listing specifies, read the seller's delivery note before paying, carry valid photo identification to the ground plus charge your phone before you leave. Gates open well ahead of kick-off. The walk up from the city centre takes longer than the map suggests once the crowds build.

Step1
Open the fixture listing
Go to the match page for the 31 October meeting in Bologna. Confirm the date plus the venue at the top of the page, because the return fixture in Lombardy falls later in the same season.
Step2
Set up your account
You can create an account in a minute or two. Use the name shown on your identity document, because named tickets in Italy are matched to the buyer at entry.
Step3
Choose covered or open before you sort by price
The Tribuna is the only covered side of this ground, so the decision matters more here than the choice of row. Late October in Emilia is not the month to guess.
Step4
Set your quantity first
Choose how many seats you need before browsing, so only listings that split your way appear. Groups of four or more should do this early in the sales window.
Step5
Read the listing notes
Each listing states the sector, the delivery method plus whether seats sit together. Two listings at the same price in the same stand can behave very differently on matchday.
Step6
Review the full cost
The payment screen shows the ticket price alongside fees plus delivery before you commit. Compare totals between listings rather than headline figures.
Step7
Complete the purchase
Pay through the secure payment page and keep the confirmation email. It carries the order reference you will need for any delivery question.
Step8
Follow the order through to delivery
Use the track order function to watch the status move from confirmed to delivered. Confirm delivery before you fly rather than after you land.
Bologna is one of the easier Serie A trips to organise. The airport sits close to the city with a fast rail link into the centre. The ground is a walkable distance from the historic core through the porticoes, which is a pleasant approach rather than a chore. A 15:00 kick-off leaves the whole evening free for the city.
Favour a delivery method that travels with you. Mobile transfer and e-ticket options work from any address, whereas courier delivery ties you to one location for the whole window. Ask for written confirmation that a multi-ticket listing is genuinely adjacent rather than simply in the same block.
The city rewards the extra night. Bologna is the food capital of the region rather than a stopover, so a Saturday afternoon match followed by an evening in the centre makes a stronger trip than a same-day return. Trains from Milan take just over an hour, which also makes this a realistic add-on for anyone already in Lombardy for the weekend.
If the October date will not fit, the return meeting offers a very different experience. Monza vs Bologna tickets for the March 2027 fixture put you in a compact ground on the edge of Milan, an easier add-on to a Lombardy trip than a separate journey to Emilia.
This is a young fixture with a surprising amount packed into it. The clubs first met in Serie A on 31 October 2022, when Bologna won 2-1 in Lombardy. The six league meetings between them have produced three Bologna wins, two goalless draws plus a single Monza victory. Three of the six finished with one goal or none.
That Monza win is the outlier worth knowing. On 12 February 2023 they came to the Dall'Ara and left with a 1-0, the only time they have beaten Bologna in the league. Since then the pattern has hardened: a goalless afternoon in April 2024, then two Bologna wins across the 2024/25 season, the second a 3-1 at the Dall'Ara that remains the widest scoreline in the fixture.
What gives the 2026/27 meeting its edge is the gap in between. Monza spent 2025/26 in Serie B while Bologna were competing at the other end of the table, so the two clubs arrive from very different places for the first time in this fixture's short history. Whether that produces a gulf or a grudge is the question the afternoon answers.
The scoring pattern is the other thing to note. Six meetings have produced eleven goals between them, with two of the six ending goalless. This is not a fixture with a history of open, high-scoring football. Buyers choosing a sector for the spectacle rather than the occasion should set expectations accordingly.
Bologna have hosted Monza only three times in Serie A, so the table below widens to every league meeting between the clubs at both venues. Cup ties and matches in the divisions below are excluded.

Three of the six were played in Lombardy at the ground 1BoxOffice lists under its earlier name, so Stadio Brianteo tickets cover the same venue for anyone tracing the away leg. Every result confirmed against two independent archives.
No for a standard league fixture like this one. Fidelity cards give priority plus discounts, with restrictions tending to apply only to higher-category matches.
Only the Tribuna along one side. The Distinti and both curves are open to the sky, which is worth factoring into a late-autumn trip.
In the settore ospiti within the Curva San Luca end, which has its own entrance and approach. Visiting colours are not accepted in the home sectors.
That depends on the seller. Every listing states the method before payment, with mobile transfer and e-tickets the most common for Serie A fixtures.
No, it sits close enough to walk from the historic core, much of it under the porticoes. Allow more time than the distance suggests once matchday crowds build.
