Buy Bologna vs Venezia tickets for the 2026/27 Season and you are booking a spring afternoon at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, scheduled for Sunday 11 April 2027 at 15:00 local time on Serie A matchday 31. Lega Serie A sets exact slots in batches, so the match could still move to the Saturday or Sunday evening of that weekend once it is confirmed. Either way, it lands in the run-in, when points start to decide seasons.

Venezia arrive as Serie B champions, back in the top flight after a single season away, while Bologna play their home league football in a ground celebrating its centenary. For Bologna supporters this is a home fixture they expect to win, which keeps it within reach for visitors who would struggle to see the Rossoblù against Inter, Juventus or Fiorentina.
That is the honest pitch for this match. It is not a derby and it rarely sells out weeks ahead. It is a well-priced way to see Serie A in one of Italy's great old football cities, with a better choice of seats than the headline fixtures ever offer.
Bologna's base is solid. The club had around 22,000 season ticket holders last season and froze 2026/27 prices for the stadium's centenary, which means more than half of the Dall'Ara is spoken for before day sales open. The rest goes in phases, with season ticket holders and card members ahead of the general public.
Recent seasons explain that loyalty. Bologna lifted the Coppa Italia in 2025, the club's first major trophy since 1974, a year after hosting Champions League nights at the Dall'Ara. Supporters who once turned up for relegation battles now expect a top-half finish. The curves sound like it.
The visitors add their own pull. Venezia won Serie B with 82 points and confirmed promotion on 1 May 2026, so their supporters return to Serie A grounds with a point to prove. Venice is around 90 minutes away by high-speed train, which makes this one of the easier away days on their calendar.
Timing matters more than the opposition. A mid-April Sunday in Bologna draws weekend tourists who add a match to a city break. Late-season stakes at either end of the table can lift demand quickly. Supporters planning both meetings can also look at Venezia FC vs Bologna at the Penzo, set for Friday 27 November 2026 at 20:45.
Yes, for this match you can. Bologna's We Are One Card costs €10 plus postage and gives priority for high-demand fixtures, but it is not required for ordinary home tickets. Presale goes to season ticket holders, card holders and Bologna residents first, with the general sale following through the club's ticketing partner.
Club sales for a specific match only open once its date is fixed. For matchday 31 that may be just weeks before kick-off. The timing suits local supporters but leaves overseas visitors booking flights and hotels without a ticket in hand.
Venezia supporters follow a separate route. For recent visits to the Dall'Ara, Bologna sold away tickets through its ticketing partner until 19:00 the day before the match, with a limit of four per person. Sales usually open to Tessera del Tifoso holders first and may later be restricted to residents of the visiting club's region.
What catches foreign buyers out is the Italian named-ticket system. Every ticket carries the holder's name and is tied to a specific seat. Photo ID is checked at entry, children included. The name on the ticket must match the person using it.
The club does allow a change of user up to 48 hours before kick-off, which is how legitimate resale works in Italy. Buying through a verified marketplace means the seller handles that change for you and the listing states how the name transfer is completed. You avoid queuing for a general sale that may not open until a few weeks before the match.
Five factors set the price of a seat for this fixture. Seat location matters most, with the central Tribuna well above either curve. Demand is moderate for this opponent, so prices sit far below the Inter or Juventus dates.
Timing counts because April weekends draw city-break visitors. Competition context adds a premium if either side is chasing Europe or fighting relegation by matchday 31. Hospitality sits in its own bracket. The bands below reflect typical resale ranges for the 2026/27 fixture.
For context, face value for lower-profile Bologna home matches has run from around €18 in the curves to roughly €90 in the main stand, with Poltrona Gold seats higher still. Resale for this fixture sits close to those levels for most sectors, which makes it one of the more affordable Serie A dates at the Dall'Ara this season.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £30 – £55 | A first taste of Serie A on a budget | Curva San Luca and the outer curve blocks. Open to the weather. |
| Longside standard | £40 – £75 | A full side view at fair value | Distinti Laterali, opposite the main stand. Usually the widest choice of seats. |
| Lower tier / central | £60 – £110 | Watching the shape of the game from halfway | Distinti Centrali and Tribuna Laterale. The sweet spot for neutrals. |
| Premium seating | £100 – £200+ | A covered, central seat | Tribuna Coperta and Poltrona Gold. Limited resale stock. |
| Hospitality / VIP | £250 – £600+ | Food, drink and a premium view | Lounge and box packages in the main stand. Priced by area and group size. |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The Dall'Ara is a classic Italian bowl with curved ends, long sides and the Maratona tower rising beside the Distinti. The Curva Bulgarelli at the north end, also known as the Curva Andrea Costa, is home to Bologna's ultras. The Curva San Luca faces it from the south. The Stadio Renato Dall'Ara seating plan shows each sector before you choose.
Only the Tribuna Coperta, as its name says, sits under a roof. That matters in April, when Bologna can switch from sunshine to showers within an afternoon. For more on what the ground hosts through the year, see the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara tickets listings.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Bulgarelli (north) | Bologna's loudest support | Lower-priced | The ultras' end, with flags, drums and constant singing. Expect to stand for most of the match despite the numbered seats. |
| Curva San Luca (south) | Atmosphere at a lower price | Lower-priced | A younger home crowd, with season tickets here reserved for under-30s. Lively without the intensity of the north end. |
| Settore Ospiti | Venezia supporters only | Lower-priced | A fully seated corner section of the Curva San Luca, entered through Gate 5 on Via Menabue. Sales for visiting fans may be limited to Tessera del Tifoso holders or Veneto residents. |
| Distinti | Neutral buyers wanting a full view | Mid-range | The long side opposite the main stand. Central blocks give a clear view of both boxes at a fair price. |
| Tribuna Laterale and Tribuna Coperta | Comfort and cover | Upper mid-range to premium | The main stand, with the roof over its central section. The safest choice if rain is forecast. |
| Poltrona Gold | Halfway-line premium seats | Premium | Padded seats near the centre line. Few reach resale, so buy early if you want one. |
Neutral buyers should look first at the Distinti Centrali or the Tribuna Laterale. Both give a balanced view, sit away from the visiting section and suit anyone who wants to follow the football rather than join the singing. Leave Venezia's black, green and orange at home if you are sitting anywhere in the home sectors.
Families tend to settle in the Distinti or the Tribuna Laterale, where the crowd is mixed and the singing comes from a distance. The curves are a different experience: fans stand, flags block parts of the view and the noise is constant from the first whistle. Decide which afternoon you want before you choose a sector.
Bologna's hospitality runs from informal lounges to private boxes in the main stand. For a fixture like this, availability is good and the packages offer a comfortable way to see the Dall'Ara for business guests or a special occasion. Most include parking, which helps on a ground with limited space around it.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Terrazza Bernardini | Corporate hosts and milestone occasions | The club's top-tier area, a panoramic terrace in the central stand with table service, a dedicated host and parking |
| Volvo Area | Groups who want to be close to the action | Pitchside garden access, a buffet and post-match events |
| Selenella Club | Couples and small groups | An informal lounge with a buffet and finger food before the match |
| Skybox and Fieldbox | Private parties of eight | A private box with its own catering and balcony, or a heated pitchside lounge |
Third-party packages start at around €300 per person with a premium seat included. Compare the inclusions on each listing before the price, because drinks, parking and seat position vary between areas.
Fixtures like this one are where hospitality makes most sense. Lounge places for the Inter or Juventus visits sell early at a premium, while a mid-table spring Sunday usually leaves more choice of areas and table positions. For a business guest or a family celebration, that flexibility is worth having.
Italian tickets are personal documents, so delivery always comes with a named holder. Every listing states its delivery method and how the name is transferred before you pay.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| E-ticket (PDF) | A barcode file issued in your name. Confirm the spelling matches your passport exactly, because stewards compare the two at the gate. |
| Mobile ticket or app transfer | Sent to your phone once the change of user is complete. This must happen at least 48 hours before kick-off. |
| Postal delivery | Used mainly for hospitality packages. Allow extra lead time for tracked courier delivery to addresses outside Italy. |
| Collection in Bologna | Pickup at a named point with photo ID and your order reference. The stadium ticket offices are closed on matchday, so never plan to buy at the ground. |
Read the listing notes before you buy, carry your original passport or national ID card and charge your phone if your ticket is digital. Copies of ID are not accepted and a driving licence may be refused.
Allow extra time at the gate. Every ticket is checked against a document, so queues move more slowly than at grounds in England or Germany. Arriving 60 to 90 minutes before kick-off avoids the last-minute crush at the curve entrances. If your plans change, finalise who is travelling well before the 48-hour cut-off for changing the name on a ticket.
Gates open two hours before kick-off. Large bags and rucksacks are refused, so bring nothing bigger than a small A4 bag. Cans, bottles, glass, large umbrellas and drinks above 5% alcohol are banned. Smoking is prohibited throughout the stadium.
Small flags up to 50 by 70 centimetres and signs up to 42 by 60 centimetres are allowed only in the Tribuna and Distinti. Larger banners and choreographies need approval from the local security committee in advance, so leave anything bigger at the hotel.
Bus 21 runs from Bologna Centrale to the Stadio stop in around 17 minutes, while bus 14 from Via Rizzoli takes about a quarter of an hour. The walk from the centre along Via Saragozza takes 30 to 40 minutes under the city's famous porticoes.
Eat in the city before heading out, because the streets around the ground are largely residential. Bars near Porta Saragozza and along Via Andrea Costa fill with home supporters in the hour before kick-off. Venezia fans should keep their colours covered until they reach the away entrance on Via Menabue.
After the final whistle, buses back to the centre fill quickly. Walking down Via Saragozza is often faster than waiting at the Stadio stop. It also brings you back into the old town in time for an early dinner.

Step1
Open the fixture
Start from the listing for Bologna against Venezia in April. Check the date when you book, because the confirmed slot could fall on the Saturday or Sunday of that weekend.
Step2
Set up your account
Create an account before you compare listings. Use your name exactly as it appears on your passport, because Italian tickets are issued to named holders.
Step3
Choose your sector
Pick a curve for atmosphere, the Distinti for value or the Tribuna for cover and comfort. Venezia supporters should look only at the visiting section.
Step4
Filter by quantity
Set the number of seats first so you only see listings that keep your group together. Most sectors have good stock of pairs and fours for this fixture.
Step5
Compare listings
Several sellers may hold seats in the same sector at different prices. Weigh the block and row against the price rather than the headline figure alone.
Step6
Read the listing notes
The notes cover delivery method, how the name change is completed and whether seats are adjacent. Two minutes here prevents problems at the gate.
Step7
Complete secure checkout
Pay through the encrypted checkout and you will receive an order reference with a confirmation email straight away. The guarantee applies from that moment.
Step8
Follow delivery to matchday
Use track order with your reference to see progress. Named tickets are often issued in the final days before the match once the change of user is processed.
Bologna Guglielmo Marconi airport sits around 7 kilometres from the stadium. The Marconi Express monorail reaches Bologna Centrale in about seven minutes. Mobile tickets work wherever you are, but postal delivery needs a fixed address and enough time. If you need seats together, filter by quantity first and say so in your order.
The bigger planning risk is the date. Matchday 31 runs across the weekend of 10 and 11 April, so book flexible flights or stay for both nights until the slot is fixed. Venezia supporters can reach Bologna by Frecciarossa from Venezia Mestre in around 85 minutes. Police may also run shuttle buses from Bologna Centrale for visiting fans.
Bologna rewards a two-night stay. The historic centre is compact and walkable. Its porticoes have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2021. The long arcade towards the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, which gives the south curve its name, starts close to the stadium, so a morning walk up the hill and an afternoon at the match make a natural pairing.
This meeting is older than most supporters realise. The clubs first met in Serie A at Bologna in May 1940. Venezia's best years came in the early 1940s, when they won the Coppa Italia in 1941. Their 2-0 win at Bologna in April 1943 remained their last league victory at the ground for 78 years.
The modern chapters belong to Venezia's short Serie A spells. Álvaro Recoba's loan season in 1999 made the lagoon club fashionable. The 2021/22 return produced a famous away win. Relations between the two sets of ultras have been tense since a clash in Venice in May 2022, which is why segregation is enforced closely at both grounds, including Venezia's own Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo.
The two clubs carry very different histories. Bologna won seven Italian championships, the last in 1964. They remain one of the country's traditional powers. Venezia have spent most of their existence outside the top flight, playing at one of Italy's oldest grounds on the edge of the lagoon, where visiting supporters arrive by water bus.
The pattern is clear. Between 1946 and 2002 Bologna went eight home meetings without defeat, though five of them were draws. Venezia have rarely scored more than once here, so supporters of the visitors travel more in hope than expectation.
All figures below cover Serie A meetings at Bologna's home ground, known over the years as the Littoriale, the Comunale and now the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, with Bologna as hosts.

Draws make up almost half of these meetings, which says a lot about how Venezia approach the trip. Bologna have scored three or more on just three occasions, all of them comfortable wins.
The most recent meeting sets the tone for April. Bologna led through a first-half penalty in November 2024 before pulling clear after the break. Venezia managed little in reply. The promoted side will arrive with a different squad and coach, but the record here suggests a cautious, compact approach from the visitors.

Lega Serie A announces exact slots in batches during the season, so the match listed for Sunday 11 April could still move within that weekend. Your ticket remains valid whichever slot is chosen.
Yes. Bring your original passport or national ID card, because the name on it must match the name on your ticket.
In the visiting section in a corner of the south end, reached through Gate 5. Anyone wearing Venezia colours should buy for that section only.
Usually, yes. Filter by quantity before you browse and each listing will show whether its seats are adjacent.
Only the main stand has a roof. If the forecast looks wet, a seat in the Tribuna Coperta is worth the extra cost.
