Buy Bologna vs Parma tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match listed for Sunday 30 May 2027 and kick-off currently set for 16:00 at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. It is Matchday 38, the final round of Serie A, so the Derby dell'Emilia closes the season with European places and survival potentially still on the line. Lega Serie A confirms final-day kick-off times late in the season, so the slot can still move.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
Barely 100 kilometres of the Via Emilia separate the two cities. The rivalry has grown sharper with every meeting. Parma won the last league derby at the Dall'Ara, 1-0 in February 2026, which gives Bologna a debt to settle on the last afternoon of the season. For every home date across the campaign, our Bologna listings cover the full season at the Dall'Ara.
The wider record is close too. Across 20 Serie A meetings in Bologna, the hosts have won eight, Parma five and seven have been drawn. Few fixtures in Italy carry this much regional pride into a final-day setting.
The Dall'Ara holds around 38,000, and a derby on the final day of the season is exactly the kind of fixture that fills it. Season ticket holders take the core of the ground, while the remaining single-match stock goes quickly once sales open. Listings on 1BoxOffice currently start from around £31, but central seats will move well above that as May approaches.
Parma bring a passionate travelling support for one of the shortest away trips on their calendar. The visiting sector in the south-west corner holds about 2,500; for a derby it is almost always full. Supporters who miss out on that allocation often look for seats in neutral areas, adding pressure on the Distinti.
The first derby of the season comes earlier. Parma vs Bologna at the Tardini is scheduled for 7 November 2026. Its result will shape the mood in May. Bologna won 3-1 in Parma in November 2025 before Parma took the return in Bologna, so the balance shifts with almost every meeting.
Both clubs bring recent pedigree. Bologna won the Coppa Italia in 2025 and played Champions League football in 2024/25, while Parma rebuilt from bankruptcy in 2015 to return to Serie A within three years. Their 1990s era, with two UEFA Cups and a Cup Winners' Cup, still shapes how their supporters see the fixture.
Bologna carry an older weight of history. Seven league titles, the last in 1964, make them one of the most decorated clubs in Italy. The Dall'Ara has been their home since 1927. For neutral visitors, a derby at one of Serie A's classic grounds is a large part of the appeal.
Final-day stakes raise the temperature further. With nothing left to play afterwards, every point counts for European qualification or survival. If either side still needs a result, the Dall'Ara will be full well before kick-off.
Final-day football in Italy has its own rhythm. Matches with something at stake usually start together, so results from other grounds ripple around the stands in real time. For a derby, that adds another layer of tension to an afternoon that already matters to both cities.
Yes, though the club route is narrower than it looks. Bologna serve season ticket holders first. Single-match sales for a derby can sell through quickly across the popular sectors. By the time general sale opens, the Curva Bulgarelli and the better Distinti seats are often gone.
Italian tickets are nominative. Each one carries the holder's name and is tied to a specific sector and seat, with a valid identity document required at the turnstile. Where a seat changes hands, the ticket is reissued to the new holder through a change-of-name process, which reputable sellers complete before matchday.
Parma supporters face tighter rules than neutral buyers. Away tickets at the Dall'Ara have been sold first to holders of the Tessera del Tifoso, the supporter card used in Italian football. The authorities can also restrict sales to residents of the visiting club's region for higher-risk derbies.
The resale market is the practical alternative. You do not need a Bologna membership, a supporter card or a purchase history with either club to buy through 1BoxOffice. Each listing explains how the ticket will be issued in your name, with the sector and price shown before you pay.
One rule matters on the day. Italian grounds enforce strict segregation, so Parma supporters in a home area should keep colours out of sight. Stewards can move or remove fans who celebrate in the wrong sector, whatever the source of the ticket.
Timing matters on every route. Club sales for late-season matches often open only a few weeks before kick-off, once the date is fixed, while resale listings appear months earlier. Buyers who wait for the club window risk finding the central sectors already gone to season ticket holders and registered supporters.
Five factors move the price for this fixture: seat location, demand in the final weeks, how close the date is, what is at stake in the 2026/27 table and whether hospitality is included. Listings currently start from around £31 for the lower-priced sectors.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £31 – £55 | Budget buyers | Curva San Luca home sections and outer corners |
| Longside standard | £45 – £80 | Value hunters and small groups | Distinti Laterali, close to the Curva Bulgarelli atmosphere |
| Lower tier / central | £60 – £110+ | Neutrals and families | Distinti Centrali, facing the dugouts |
| Premium seating | £90 – £170+ | Buyers wanting the main-stand view | Tribuna, closest to the tunnel and benches |
| Hospitality / VIP | £180 – £400+ | Corporate guests, special occasions | Tribuna lounge packages with dining |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The final-day date makes this market more volatile than most. If either side can still move into or out of a key position, prices tend to climb through the last fortnight. If both are safe and settled, late listings from season ticket holders can soften the market in the final days.
Compare listings on more than the headline figure. Two seats at a similar price can differ by sector, row and distance from the visiting corner, which changes the afternoon far more than a few pounds. The listing notes also explain how the nominative ticket will be issued.
Hospitality moves least. Tribuna packages are priced per head and sold mainly to regular clients, so the resale supply is small and prices hold steady. Final-day derby packages tend to be booked early by local businesses entertaining guests.
The derby premium is real. An ordinary Bologna home game can be bought near the floor price, but the combination of a regional rivalry and a final-day date pushes central sectors well above it. Buyers on a fixed budget should aim to secure seats once the kick-off time is confirmed.
Seats together are the scarcest stock for a derby. Families and groups should prioritise listings marked as seats together and be ready to accept a slightly less central sector to secure them, particularly in the Distinti where demand from neutrals is highest.
The stadium opened in 1927 and remains a classic Italian bowl, watched over by the Maratona Tower, now a national monument. The Tribuna runs along the main side with the Distinti opposite, while the Curva Bulgarelli sits at the north end and the Curva San Luca at the south. The Dall'Ara seating plan shows every sector in detail.
Only part of the ground is covered, so the Tribuna is the choice for anyone who wants shelter. Late May is usually warm in Emilia-Romagna, which makes the shaded main stand a comfortable option for an afternoon kick-off.
Sightlines vary by sector. The Distinti give a clean side-on view of the pitch with the Maratona Tower rising behind the opposite end, while the curve sit further from the action. Buyers who care most about the view should favour the longsides over the ends.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Bulgarelli | Home supporters who want noise | Lower | The ultras' end; flags, drums and standing for 90 minutes |
| Curva San Luca (home sections) | Fans wanting a goal-end view | Lower | Shares its end with the visiting corner, separated by segregation |
| Distinti Laterali | Value hunters and small groups | Lower to mid | Angled view with the Curva Bulgarelli's atmosphere close by |
| Distinti Centrali | Neutral buyers and families | Mid | Full pitch view facing the dugouts |
| Tribuna | Premium buyers and corporate guests | Upper | Main stand, closest to the tunnel, benches and hospitality areas |
| Visiting section (south-west corner) | Parma supporters only | Club-set price | Around 2,500 places, entry via Via Menabue off Via Porrettana; gates open two hours before kick-off |
Neutral fans and undecided buyers should aim for the Distinti Centrali or the Tribuna. You get a full view without being surrounded by the most vocal home support, while families will find the main stand calmer. All matchday options sit within our Stadio Renato Dall'Ara tickets range.
The Curva Bulgarelli suits a different buyer. It is where Bologna's organised groups gather. A seat there puts you inside the noise rather than watching it. On derby day it is not the right choice for young children or for anyone who wants to sit down for the whole match.
Families do well in the Distinti Centrali or the outer Tribuna, where the crowd is calmer and exits are straightforward. Arrive early with children, as the queues at the gates build quickly on a derby afternoon.
Favour listings with clear sector, row and seat details over vague descriptions. In a stadium with this many sectors, a precise listing is the surest way to know what you are buying and who you will be sitting among.
The Curva San Luca deserves a note for derby day. Its home sections sit next to the visiting corner, separated by segregation, so expect plenty of noise and a heavier stewarding presence. It suits buyers who want to feel the rivalry up close rather than those looking for a quiet afternoon.
Premium options at the Dall'Ara centre on the Tribuna, the main stand that houses the tunnel and the club's corporate areas. For a final-day derby, those seats are among the first to go, since business guests and neutrals both want a calm, central view.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Tribuna premium seats | Couples and visiting neutrals | A central main-stand view close to the tunnel |
| Lounge packages | Business guests and celebrations | Pre-match dining with a padded seat in the Tribuna |
| Marketplace hospitality listings | Buyers wanting food and drink included | Inclusions written into the listing before you pay |
| Group bookings | Friends and company outings | Seats together in one block, arranged in advance |
When a listing includes extras such as dining, drinks or parking, those inclusions are set out in the listing itself. Read them carefully, compare the package against a standard Tribuna seat and pay the premium only if the extras matter to your day.
In a city known as la Grassa for its food, a long lunch in the centre before the match is often the better upgrade. Bologna's trattorias around the old town fill early on matchdays, so book a table at the same time as your seats.
Compare the full cost of the day before deciding. A central Tribuna seat plus lunch in the old town can come close to an entry-level lounge package, which adds pre-match dining, a calmer arrival and a guaranteed central view. For a celebration, that gap is often smaller than expected.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile or e-ticket (PDF) | The name on the ticket matches your ID and the file opens on your phone before you travel |
| Change of name to you | The seller has completed the reassignment in good time before matchday |
| Paper ticket | Delivery address and timing, with tracking for overseas orders |
| Hospitality booking | The entrance, lounge opening time and the name on the booking |
Read the listing notes before you buy, since they set out how your ticket will be issued and delivered. Bring an original photo ID that matches the name on the ticket; a passport or national identity card is the safer choice. Charge your phone fully if you are using mobile entry. Keeping a screenshot of the ticket as a backup is a sensible precaution if signal drops near the gates.
The stadium sits about three and a half kilometres from Bologna Centrale and roughly a 40-minute walk from the old town. City bus 21 runs from the centre in 10 to 15 minutes, while the walk along Via Andrea Costa is lined with bars that fill with supporters before kick-off.
Security is thorough on derby day. Expect a body search at the gate, leave large bags at your hotel and arrive at least 45 minutes before kick-off. Pyrotechnics and glass are refused at entry. Visiting supporters can be held back after the final whistle while the area clears.
Timing matters with named tickets. A reassignment usually happens in the days before the match rather than weeks ahead, so a ticket that has not reached you early is normal. Your order updates will show when to expect it.
Visiting supporters arriving by train have been offered a dedicated shuttle from the station to the away sector, with parking for away fans on Via Porrettana. Neutrals travelling by car should expect restrictions around the Saragozza district on derby day, so public transport is the simpler option.

Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport sits about seven kilometres from the stadium, with direct flights from across Europe and fast links into the city. High-speed trains also connect Bologna with Milan, Florence and Rome. Mobile or PDF delivery suits overseas buyers best, but allow for the change of name that nominative tickets require. Have passport details ready for every member of your party.
Final-day kick-off times are set late, so book flexible flights or a refundable night on either side of 30 May. If you are booking for a group, filter for listings marked as seats together. A match weekend pairs easily with the city's porticoes, food markets and the short train ride to Parma for anyone wanting to see both sides of the rivalry. Late May is a popular time to visit, so book accommodation early.
The Serie A derby at the Dall'Ara began badly for Bologna. Parma won 3-1 in April 1991, in their first top-flight season, as Bologna slid towards relegation. When Bologna returned in 1996, Parma were one of the strongest sides in Europe and won the next two meetings in Bologna as well, 1-0 in January 1997 and 2-1 in March 1998. Parma lifted the UEFA Cup in 1995 and 1999 during that spell, so a trip down the Via Emilia rarely intimidated them.
Bologna then turned the fixture around, winning five and drawing one of six home derbies between 2000 and 2005. The rivalry peaked in June 2005, when the clubs met in a relegation play-out: Bologna won 1-0 at the Tardini, only for Parma to win 2-0 at the Dall'Ara and send their neighbours down. That afternoon still shapes how both sets of supporters approach the derby.
What makes this derby distinctive is how evenly it swings. Bologna went five home league meetings unbeaten before Parma's win in February 2026, while the clubs also met in the Coppa Italia in Bologna in December 2025. On the final day of 2026/27, both will want the last word before the summer, with the home crowd eager to avenge February.
Figures cover every regular-season Serie A meeting at the Dall'Ara with Bologna as hosts, from 1990/91 to 2025/26. The 2005 relegation play-out and cup ties are excluded. Bologna have kept six clean sheets in these 20 games. They average 1.35 goals a game here, Parma exactly one.

All results are shown with the Bologna score first, newest first. Gaps between seasons mark years when one of the clubs was outside Serie A. Bologna's spell in Serie B from 2005 to 2008 and Parma's own seasons outside the top flight explain the longer breaks.
