Buy Fiorentina vs Frosinone Calcio tickets for the 2026/27 season and you are booking an 18:30 CEST kickoff on Saturday 29 August 2026 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, matchday two of Serie A. The arithmetic behind that sentence is what matters. Fiorentina sold out their season ticket campaign on 17 August 2026 at 14,556 holders, a record under the current ownership, inside a ground currently capped at roughly 22,000 by the rebuilding works. What is left for general sale is a few thousand seats.

This is also the centenary season. The club marks one hundred years in 2026/27 and has scheduled a centenary show at the ground immediately after this fixture, which turns a routine second-matchday league game into one of the most heavily requested afternoons of the Florentine calendar. If you want to be inside the Franchi rather than watching from a bar on viale dei Mille, Fiorentina ticket listings are where the available seats sit once the club's own allocation has cleared.
Below is what you will pay, which sectors are open, what the closed Curva Fiesole means for where you sit and the identity rules that catch out visiting buyers at Italian grounds. Head-to-head figures are scoped to Serie A meetings between the two clubs. Only three of those have been played in Florence, so the record below covers both grounds and says so at every table.
Start with supply. A full-strength Franchi holds around 40,000, and the finished rebuild is targeted at roughly that figure. For 2026/27 the operating capacity is about 22,000 while the works continue, with the Curva Fiesole shut and parts of the Maratona subject to temporary closure. Take 14,556 season tickets out of that and the pool for everyone else is small.
Then add who is chasing it. Frosinone Calcio are back in the top flight for the first time since 2023/24, which brings a promoted club's travelling interest, and Florence draws a permanent tourist audience that wants a Serie A afternoon while it is in the city. The two groups compete for the same handful of sectors.
The away allocation is not the release valve people expect. Serie A infrastructure criteria set a 5% minimum away sector, but grounds undergoing modernisation works can be granted a derogation, and Fiorentina have operated with a Settore Ospiti of a few hundred places rather than a few thousand. For this fixture the club lists the Curva Esterna CE1 at 33 euros with capacity subject to the organising measures set for the match.
There is a second gate on top of that. Residents of the province of Frosinone may buy only for the away sector, and only if they hold a Frosinone loyalty card. This kind of residency restriction is routine in Serie A and it removes an entire category of buyer from the home sectors before a single ticket is listed. Anyone weighing up the alternative can look at the return meeting at the Stadio Benito Stirpe, a smaller ground with a very different matchday feel.
Yes, but Florence puts more conditions on it than most European grounds. Fiorentina sell through the Vivaticket circuit in three phases per match: a window reserved for InViola Premium Card holders, then general sale, then a matchday phase that runs from the morning until the final whistle.
The InViola Premium Card is the piece visitors miss. It costs 20 euros, runs for two seasons and formally replaced the older Tessera del Tifoso. It is required for season tickets, it operates the turnstiles and for this fixture the club lists it as mandatory in the Curva Ferrovia. The free Basic version does not let you buy for the Franchi at all.
The club has published exceptions to those card rules at its Fiorentina Point counter on via dei Sette Santi, previously covering under-14s, Florence-province residents and foreign nationals. Those exceptions are set per fixture rather than fixed in policy, so read the sale rules published for this match before you plan a trip around buying at the counter.
Season tickets themselves are closed. The 2026/27 campaign ran a priority window for existing holders from 13 July, opened to general sale on 20 July and sold out on 17 August. No waiting list has been published. For a fixture in a reduced-capacity ground where the season ticket base alone accounts for roughly two thirds of the seats, buying from a holder who cannot attend is the realistic route, and a verified resale marketplace is where those seats surface with the transaction backed rather than left to trust.
Five things drive the number. Where the seat sits, how much of that sector has already gone, when in the three-phase cycle you buy, what the fixture carries competitively and whether catering and hosting are attached. Fiorentina's own published face values for this match run from 37 euros in the Curva Ferrovia to 270 euros in the Tribuna VIP, with a matchday tier above that, so the club's price sheet sets the floor rather than the ceiling for 2026/27.
Resale sits above those floors here for one reason: a sold-out season ticket base inside a 22,000 capacity leaves very little slack. The table below covers the spread to expect.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Ferrovia and outer sectors | £45 – £95 | Atmosphere over sightline | Behind the goal, currently the home of the organised support. Club face value starts near 37 euros. |
| Maratona longside standard | £70 – £145 | Balanced value and view | The Maratona and Tribuna Esterna bands. The most consistently available bracket on resale. |
| Central longside and parterre | £110 – £215+ | Buyers who want to be level with halfway | Maratona Centrale and the covered parterre blocks. Thin supply because season ticket holders keep them. |
| Premium seating | £180 – £360+ | Couples and small corporate parties | Poltronissima and Tribuna d'Onore under Nervi's cantilever roof. Face values run from roughly 115 to 195 euros. |
| Hospitality and VIP | £400 – £850+ | Clients, celebrations and full-service days | Lounge and box products sold on enquiry. The Sky Box is sold whole for ten people rather than by the seat. |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
One structural point matters here. Because the Curva Fiesole is closed, the lowest-priced large block of seats that normally absorbs casual demand simply does not exist this season. That pushes buyers who would have taken a curve ticket into the Maratona bands and firms up pricing there.
The Franchi does not use tiers in the northern European sense. It is a single steep bowl with a covered main stand on the west side, and Fiorentina sell it by named sector with block codes rather than by level. The Stadio Artemio Franchi seating plan maps those codes if you want to check a listing before committing, and the Stadio Artemio Franchi ticket page covers other events at the ground.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Ferrovia (blocks S01 to S10) | Vocal support and singing for ninety minutes | Lowest | The south curve, named for the railway line behind it. With the Fiesole closed this is where the organised support has relocated. Card requirement applies. |
| Maratona (MAF) and Distinti di Maratona (MAE) | Value seats with a proper side-on angle | Lower to mid | The long east side beneath the Nervi tower. Open to the sky, so check the forecast for a late-August evening. |
| Maratona Centrale (MAC and MAD) | Best all-round view on the east side | Mid | Level with halfway. MAC is listed by the club as subject to temporary closure during the works, so confirm the sector is open for this date. |
| Parterre Maratona (PMC and PM blocks) | Pitchside atmosphere | Mid | Low, close and loud. The covered PMC blocks carry a premium over the open PM blocks for obvious reasons. |
| Tribuna side (TEB, TLB, Poltronissima, Tribuna d'Onore, Tribuna VIP) and Parterre Tribuna | Comfort, cover and the architectural view | Mid to highest | The west side under the cantilevered roof. Prices climb sharply from the outer Tribuna Esterna to the central VIP blocks. |
| Curva Esterna CE1, the Settore Ospiti | Travelling Frosinone support only | Set at 33 euros for this fixture | A small wedge at the south-east corner behind plexiglass. Capacity is set per match by the authorities and has run to a few hundred places. |
If you are neutral or undecided, the Maratona side is the honest answer. It gives you the full sweep of Nervi's architecture opposite, it is the widest band of availability and it sits outside the sectors with the tightest card requirements. Avoid assuming the Curva Fiesole is an option: it is closed for 2026/27 and its blocks do not appear in any current price table. Anyone booking on architecture alone should note that the Maratona tower and the helicoidal staircases are best seen from the west side, not from within them.
Fiorentina run their hospitality as a set of named rooms rather than generic tiers, and all of them are sold on enquiry through the club's corporate desk rather than at a listed price. Several sit inside the historic fabric of the ground, which is part of what you are paying for at a nationally protected 1930s stadium.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Sports Club Birra Moretti | First hospitality visit, informal groups | The casual room in the range. Dedicated welcome, open bar and catering without the formal service structure of the dining products. |
| Fiorentina Lounge and Viola Lounge | Social groups and business networking | One is built around live music and DJ sets before kickoff, the other around conviviality and introductions. Both sit in the mid band of the range. |
| Lounge 100, Vallepicciola Wine Club and Suite 1926 | Clients and occasions built around a meal | Seated service with menus from the club's catering partner. The wine club runs a guided tasting matched to the menu at every home fixture. |
| Sky Box and Autorità | Private entertaining and top-end corporate | The Sky Box is a private lounge with reserved armchair seating outside it, sold whole for ten people. Autorità sits in the directors' tribune with access to the 1930s marble foyer. |
Two practical notes. Hospitality here is enquiry-led with no public rate card, so lead times are longer than at grounds with an online hospitality shop, and single-match availability is thinner because most of these rooms are committed as season packages. That is precisely why hospitality surfaces on resale when a package holder cannot attend a specific date.
If comfort rather than catering is the aim, the covered Tribuna blocks do the job. The Nervi roof spans the west side without intermediate supports, so the sightline is clean and the shelter is real, which matters for a fixture that could just as easily be played in heat as in a thunderstorm at the end of August.
Italian ticketing is stricter than most buyers expect and Florence applies the rules closely. Single-match tickets are nominative: the holder's name is printed on the ticket and checked at the turnstile. Tickets are issued through the Vivaticket circuit and accepted as a paper or digital copy, and they can also be loaded onto an InViola Premium Card.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Print at home PDF | That the name printed on the ticket is the name of the person using it and that the barcode is clean. This is the most common format at the Franchi. |
| Mobile or digital copy | Whether the seller sends the file directly or transfers within the ticketing circuit, and whether a name change has been completed. |
| Loaded to a loyalty card | Whether the seat is tied to a card you will not physically hold. Confirm the delivery route before you buy. |
| Collection or courier | The exact handover point and the window it operates in. Settle this before booking flights, not after. |
Three rules matter more here than at most grounds. Read the listing notes in full, because they tell you the delivery route and whether the name on the ticket has been changed to yours. Bring photo identification that shows your residence, and note that Fiorentina's ground regulations expressly exclude a driving licence as a valid document. Charge your phone if you are entering on a digital copy.
Gates are published per fixture rather than by fixed policy, with roughly two hours before kickoff the observed pattern and earlier openings for high-attendance games. There is no published bag dimension limit, but searches of bags and persons are standard and refusal means no entry. Bottles of any material, cans, umbrellas other than small retractable ones, selfie sticks and unauthorised banners are all on the prohibited list.
1BoxOffice has operated as a verified marketplace since 2006, with every order covered by a 150% money-back guarantee. Here is how a purchase runs from start to finish.
Step1
Decide what you are optimising for
Price, sightline or atmosphere point to three different sides of this ground. Settle it before you browse, because the sectors that suit each answer barely overlap at the Franchi.
Step2
Set up your account
You can browse without one, but you will need an account to complete checkout and to keep your order details in one place afterwards. Take a minute to create an account before the remaining seats start moving.
Step3
Filter by quantity first
Set how many seats you need before anything else. In a ground running at 22,000 with a sold-out season ticket base, listings that cannot seat your group together will thin out fast.
Step4
Match the sector code to the plan
Listings here quote codes rather than stand names. MAF is the open Maratona, MAC is Maratona Centrale, PLA and PLB are Poltronissima, S01 to S10 are the Curva Ferrovia. Check the code, not the label.
Step5
Read the listing notes properly
This is where the delivery route, any name-change requirement and seats-together status are declared. At a ground with nominative ticketing, two minutes here prevents the problem that ends most matchdays badly.
Step6
Compare totals, not headline prices
Look at the full amount at checkout rather than the figure on the listing tile. Comparing totals across two or three options is the only fair comparison you can make.
Step7
Complete the purchase
Confirm your details and pay. You will receive an order confirmation by email with a reference number, which is what you quote in any follow-up query.
Step8
Follow your delivery through
Italian clubs commonly release match tickets late in the sale cycle, so quiet weeks are normal rather than a warning sign. Use track order to see where your tickets are in the process.
Overseas buyers should sort identity before price. Italian nominative ticketing means the name on the ticket must match the person at the turnstile, so a listing where the seller can complete a name change is worth more to you than a slightly lower-priced one where they cannot. Bring a passport or national identity card showing your residence, since the ground regulations rule out a driving licence, and if you need seats together for a group, say so at the point of purchase rather than hoping it resolves itself.
Build slack into your dates. Serie A kickoff times move for broadcast reasons and can shift within a weekend at short notice, so a flight landing on matchday morning carries real risk for an 18:30 start. Florence rewards a longer stay in any case: Fiorentina open the season away at Roma five days earlier, and the Stadio Olimpico fixture makes a two-match week straightforward by train. On matchday itself, expect parking bans and through-traffic closures across viale Fanti and viale Cialdini for several hours either side of kickoff, so arrive on foot or by rail rather than by car.
These clubs are not rivals and it would be dishonest to dress them as such. They have met six times in Serie A and never in any other competition, because Frosinone's top-flight history runs to three completed seasons: 2015/16, 2018/19 and 2023/24. Each of those ended in relegation, which is the blunt context for a club returning to this level in 2026/27.
What the fixture does carry is Florentine weight rather than mutual history. The first meeting in November 2015 was a 4-1 home win that put Fiorentina top of the table, all four goals inside the first half. The April 2019 return is remembered far less fondly in Tuscany: a single goal on 84 minutes handed the visitors a rare away win and is treated in Italy as the point where Fiorentina's season came apart, safety secured only on the final day. Then February 2024 produced the record scoreline of the series, 5-1, three of them before the interval.
What makes this one distinctive is not the pairing, it is the moment. A centenary season, a ground mid-rebuild running at half its finished capacity, a sold-out season ticket book and a scheduled centenary show after the final whistle. Very few second-matchday fixtures anywhere in Europe carry that combination, and none of it is priced like a marquee derby.
Only three Serie A meetings have been played at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, which is too few to stand alone, so the figures below cover all Serie A meetings between the two clubs at both grounds, from November 2015 to February 2024. No cup ties or lower-division fixtures are included, because none exist.

The card is mandatory for the Curva Ferrovia and for the first sale phase across the home sectors, and the club has published counter exceptions for some buyers on a per-fixture basis. Buying a seat already held by a supporter avoids the question entirely.
No. The north curve is closed for 2026/27 while the rebuilding works continue, with completion of that phase pushed into 2027. Its blocks appear in no current price table.
In the Curva Esterna CE1, a small screened wedge at the south-east corner, priced at 33 euros for this fixture. Residents of the province of Frosinone may buy only for that sector and only with a Frosinone loyalty card.
Photo identification showing your residence, matched against the name printed on the ticket. Fiorentina's ground regulations specifically exclude a driving licence, so travel with a passport or national identity card.
Take a train to Firenze Campo di Marte, roughly a nine-minute walk from the ground, or a bus towards Campo di Marte from the centre. There is no tram to the Franchi, and the roads immediately around it close to through traffic before kickoff.
