This fixture has a longer story than many buyers expect. Fiorentina and Parma have met 26 times in Serie A in Florence since Parma's first top-flight season in 1990/91. They also contested two Coppa Italia finals in 1999 and 2001, with each club lifting the trophy once. That history gives the April meeting more weight than its place in the calendar suggests.
For a buyer, the headline is capacity. Building work has cut the number of seats at the Franchi, so supply is tighter than the stadium's size suggests. Prices, seat choice, the away sector, hospitality, delivery, travel and the full Serie A record at the ground are all set out below.
The Franchi is being rebuilt while Fiorentina keep playing in it. The Curva Fiesole, the traditional home end, has been closed for reconstruction since 2024. Parts of the Maratona stand have also been affected. Capacity during the works has sat at around 24,700, far below the ground's former size.
That squeeze lands on a club with a large, passionate fan base. Fiorentina celebrate their centenary in 2026. The club's members and season ticket holders take a large share of the reduced capacity before general sale opens. Central seats in the Tribuna and Maratona go first.
Supporters of Parma face a trip of around two hours down the A1 from Emilia-Romagna. The away sector has been capped at a few hundred places during the works, so most Parma fans who want to attend will rely on their club's small allocation. Expect a compact, loud travelling group. Parma's return to Serie A in 2024, after years rebuilding in the lower divisions, has given that following plenty to sing about.
The squeeze is not spread evenly. The Curva Ferrovia, which has become the main home end during the rebuild, central seats on both sides and groups of four or more seated together are the areas that tighten first. Upper and outer sections of the side stands usually stay available a little longer.
The centenary adds to the sense of occasion. Fiorentina's supporters are famously passionate. A season marking 100 years of the club gives every home date extra meaning. Even with building work around them, the Franchi crowd makes itself heard.
Timing adds weight. A Sunday afternoon in mid-April falls deep in the run-in, when every point carries consequences at both ends of the table. Spring in Florence also brings large numbers of visitors to the city. Some of them look for a match to add to their trip, so hotels near the centre fill quickly.
For most home sectors, yes, but timing matters. Fiorentina sell home tickets in phases. The first phase is reserved for holders of the club's InViola Premium Card, then general sale opens in all home sectors until the day before the match, with matchday prices after that.
The Curva Ferrovia is the exception. Even during general sale, tickets there have required the InViola card, with limited full-price sales at the club's ticket office for residents of Tuscany and foreign residents. Recent sales ran through the club's website, the FIORENTINAPOINT box office and Vivaticket outlets.
Italian match tickets are issued in a named holder's name. Stadium staff can ask for ID at the turnstiles. Read how each seller handles named tickets and what ID the listing asks you to bring, so there are no surprises on arrival.
The marketplace is the practical alternative for everyone else. There is no fan card to apply for, no sales phase to track and no need for an Italian address. You choose the area, the number of seats and the delivery type, then buy from verified sellers with buyer protection behind the order.
Parma supporters who miss out on their own club's allocation should avoid the Curva Ferrovia entirely. Home sectors come with an expectation of neutral behaviour and no visiting colours, which is hard to keep up during a tense April afternoon. Parma's own allocation is sold through Parma's club channels, usually to their fan card holders first.
Italian clubs can also restrict away-sector sales to certain regions for security reasons, as happened for Lombardy residents before Fiorentina's home game with Inter in March 2026. Those rules apply to away sectors rather than home seats. They still show why reading the listing notes matters before you buy.
Five factors drive what you pay for this fixture in the 2026/27 season: seat location, demand from both sets of supporters, how close to kick-off you buy, the stakes of the spring run-in and the hospitality tier you choose. For context, face values for the visit of Inter in March 2026 ran from €40 in the Curva Ferrovia to €150 in the Poltronissima and €320 in the Tribuna VIP. A meeting with Parma typically sits below that top tier. Sunday afternoon slots in spring also draw more families and visitors than evening kick-offs.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Ferrovia / ends | £45 – £70 | Fans who want the home atmosphere | Fan card rules apply in club sales; the busiest home end during the works |
| Maratona / longside standard | £70 – £110 | Couples and small groups wanting a side-on view | Covered central sections sell before the outer blocks |
| Parterre / lower central | £95 – £150+ | Fans who want to be close to the pitch | Low rows on either side with a pitch-level feel |
| Premium seating (Poltronissima and Tribuna d'Onore) | £150 – £280+ | Tactical viewing and special occasions | Central main-stand seats near the halfway line |
| Hospitality / VIP (Tribuna VIP) | £280 – £450+ | Corporate guests and celebrations | The top tier of the main stand with premium services |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Listings for a fixture like this usually open with a wide spread, then settle once Serie A confirms the kick-off slot. Central seats and the Tribuna VIP hold their value because supply there is thin from the start. Outer sections of the side stands are where sellers are most willing to adjust, especially in the final fortnight.
Club sales also carry under-14 rates and a lower-priced fan card tier. Resale listings rarely carry those reductions, so families buying for children should weigh the saving against the choice of seats a marketplace offers.
Because the reduced capacity is dominated by members and season ticket holders, resale supply tends to come from holders who cannot attend a particular match. That makes availability lumpy: a block of good seats can appear late and disappear quickly. Buyers who see a listing that suits their group should not count on a better one turning up.
The Franchi opened in 1931 and is one of the landmarks of Italian stadium design, with its famous Marathon Tower and sweeping concrete main stand. The current rebuild adds a roof and brings the ends closer to the pitch, but works on the northern side are scheduled to run into 2027. Before you commit, study the Stadio Artemio Franchi seating plan to see which sectors are open for this season.
The Tribuna runs along the main side, from the Tribuna VIP and Tribuna d'Onore at the centre out to the side and outer sections. The Maratona faces it across the pitch, with covered and uncovered parterre rows at the front. The Curva Ferrovia at the southern end is the main home end while the Fiesole is rebuilt. To compare this match with the rest of the home calendar, the full list of Stadio Artemio Franchi tickets shows every fixture at the ground.
Because the rebuild changes which sectors are open from one season to the next, listings sometimes refer to seats by sector codes such as MAC for the central Maratona or PT for the Parterre Tribuna. If a code is unfamiliar, read the listing notes or the seating plan before you commit.
Row choice matters as much as stand choice. The Franchi was built with an athletics track, so the front rows sit further from the pitch than in a modern ground. Mid-height rows on either side often give a clearer view than the parterre. The covered sections are worth paying a little extra for if rain is forecast.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribuna, central | First-time visitors and fans who want the full tactical picture | Premium | Poltronissima and Tribuna d'Onore sit at the halfway line; the first sections to tighten |
| Maratona, central | Families and fans who prefer a side-on view at a lower price | Mid | Covered central blocks with views back towards the main stand |
| Curva Ferrovia | Fans who want the noise and the choreography | Lower | The main home end during the works; wear viola or neutral colours only |
| Side and outer Tribuna sections | Value seekers and late buyers | Lower to mid | Angled views, but often the easiest seats to find together |
| Away sector | Parma supporters | Lower | Capped at a few hundred places during the rebuild; usually sold through the visiting club |
| Accessible seating | Wheelchair users and companions | Varies | Arrangements can change during building work; confirm with the club before matchday |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should stay away from the Curva Ferrovia and the sectors next to the away area. The Maratona and the side sections of the Tribuna give a balanced view of the whole pitch without any pressure to pick a side or join in the chanting. Families with young children will find the central Maratona the calmer choice. Anyone wearing Parma's yellow and blue should steer clear of the home end entirely.
Hospitality at the Franchi centres on the main stand. The Tribuna VIP and Tribuna d'Onore are the top tiers of the club's own ticket scale, with central seats close to the halfway line. Packages and inclusions vary by opponent and can change as the stadium works progress. Club prices for the top tiers also rise on matchday, so resale can be competitive in the final days.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Poltronissima seat | Couples and individual fans marking an occasion | Padded central seat in the main stand at a step below VIP pricing |
| Tribuna d'Onore | Fans who want a premium central view | Seats in the honour stand close to the directors' area |
| Tribuna VIP | Corporate guests and special celebrations | The club's top ticket tier with premium services |
| Group hospitality package | Businesses hosting clients | Seats together in the main stand with catering, where available |
Read exactly what a listing includes before you buy: lounge access, whether food and drink are included and how early you can enter. Inclusions vary by area and by match, so two packages with similar names can offer very different afternoons.
Premium seats suit weekend visitors. A guaranteed central seat removes the stress of sales phases and fan cards. It also solves the seats-together problem in one booking for groups of colleagues or family.
Your listing's format decides how your tickets arrive. Fiorentina sell through their own website and Vivaticket, so most tickets are issued electronically in the holder's name. The format line on each listing also tells you when the seller expects to send them.

The stadium sits in the Campo di Marte district, east of the historic centre. Firenze Campo di Marte railway station is a short walk from the ground, while city buses run from the centre and the walk from the Duomo takes around half an hour. Building work can change entry routes, so allow extra time and follow the stewards' signs.
Plan to arrive early. Security searches and ID controls slow entry in the last half hour before kick-off. A 15:00 start also leaves time for lunch in the centre before heading out to Campo di Marte. The historic centre is a limited traffic zone, so trains, buses and taxis are simpler than driving.

Florence is one of Europe's most visited cities, so getting there is easy. Florence airport handles regular European flights, while Pisa airport offers more routes and a train link into Florence. E-tickets and mobile tickets suit visitors from abroad: nothing to collect, no courier to wait for. For buyers in the Gulf, a 15:00 kick-off falls at 17:00 UAE time.
Request seats together at the point of purchase rather than hoping to swap at the stadium. Remember that the date and kick-off time can move once Serie A confirms its broadcast schedule, so book flexible hotels in Florence where you can. April is a busy month for tourism in the city, so book accommodation well ahead of the match. High-speed trains from Rome and Milan arrive at Santa Maria Novella, the city's main station, in well under two hours.
Parma arrived in Serie A for the first time in 1990/91 and announced themselves with a 3-2 win in Florence in October 1990. Through the 1990s the sides were regulars at the top end of Italian football. The Franchi meetings were tight: Fiorentina won 1-0 in 1996 and 1997, while Parma's 2-0 win in October 1999 remains their biggest league victory at the ground. The clubs also shared two Coppa Italia finals in that era, Parma winning in 1999 and Fiorentina in 2001.
Both clubs then fell out of Serie A after financial collapse, Fiorentina in 2002 and Parma later in 2015. Back in the top flight, Fiorentina dominated the 2000s and early 2010s at home, winning 4-1 in 2005 and 3-0 in both 2011 and 2015. Since then the fixture has stalled for the hosts: five home meetings without a win, including a 3-3 thriller in 2021 and back-to-back goalless draws in 2025 and 2026.
What makes this fixture distinctive is how evenly it has swung. Fiorentina have won 11 of 26 Serie A meetings in Florence, yet Parma have taken something from five straight visits, a run that began with a 1-0 win in Florence on Boxing Day 2018. Fans planning both meetings this season can follow the reverse fixture through Parma vs Fiorentina at the Tardini.
All Serie A meetings with Fiorentina as hosts at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, from October 1990 to March 2026. Coppa Italia ties, including the 1999 and 2001 finals, are excluded.

Not for resale listings. The card mainly governs the club's first sales phase and the Curva Ferrovia, while marketplace seats are open to any buyer.
Buying soon after the kick-off slot is confirmed gives the widest choice of seats together. Central seats tend to firm up in price during the final fortnight.
No. The Curva Fiesole and parts of the northern side are closed while they are rebuilt, so the stadium runs at reduced capacity.
Yes. Italian match tickets are linked to a named holder, so bring a passport or national ID card that matches the details on your order.
Yes, as long as you set your quantity before browsing so only listings with enough adjoining seats appear. Larger groups usually find more choice in the side and outer Tribuna sections.
