Buy Fiorentina vs Torino tickets for Saturday 5 September 2026, kick-off 15:00 in Florence, which is 14:00 in the UK. The venue is the Stadio Artemio Franchi and the fixture falls in giornata 3 of the Serie A 2026/27 season. An early Saturday slot in a city full of late-summer visitors changes who is competing for the seats.

This is a fixture worth understanding before you buy rather than after. The ground is in the middle of a rebuild that has held capacity down for two seasons. The club also turns 100 this year. Anyone weighing options should start on the Fiorentina tickets listings, where every open sector sits in one view.
The Franchi was designed by Pier Luigi Nervi and opened in 1931, with a nominal capacity of 43,147. Redevelopment cut that to 24,786 for 2025/26. For the centenary season the target is around 35,000 with the rebuilt Curva Fiesole back in use, which makes this the most seats the ground has offered in three years.
Start with the visitors, because Torino are a well-supported club making a long trip. Buyers following them should look at the Torino tickets listings first, but Florence is roughly 400 kilometres from Turin and a 15:00 Saturday kick-off makes a day return awkward. The travelling contingent will be real without being large.
The more useful thing to understand is where this fixture sits on the Franchi's demand curve. The games that clear fastest here are the visits of Juventus, Inter and the Milan clubs. The Juventus tickets market gives a fair sense of what the top of that curve looks like. Torino sits comfortably below it, which is good news if you are buying on price.
The gap between those tiers is wider at the Franchi than at most Italian grounds, because a reduced capacity concentrates demand for the marquee dates rather than spreading it. A seat for the fixtures listed on the AC Milan tickets pages costs a multiple of what this one will. Knowing that stops you overpaying out of caution.
Where the arithmetic tightens is capacity. Even at around 35,000 the ground is running well short of its nominal figure. Season ticket holders then take the bulk of what is open before general sale begins. A fixture that would normally be straightforward becomes merely manageable.
The centenary adds a layer that a normal September fixture would not carry. Fiorentina were founded in 1926 and the club has built its anniversary programming around this season, which brings a share of buyers who are not following the football result at all. They want to be in the building.
Season ticket holders shape the picture more than most buyers realise. With the ground reduced, the club has run its abbonamento campaign against a smaller pool of seats for three years, with the base staying loyal through a difficult stretch on the pitch. That leaves the general window working with a thin remainder even for a fixture nobody would call marquee.
One more timing point. Work on the Curva Ferrovia begins once the centenary campaign finishes, so capacity comes down again for 2027/28. If seeing the ground with the new Fiesole open matters to you, this is the window.
Yes, though the club's own routes are narrower than the ticket prices suggest. Fiorentina sell abbonamenti across every open sector. With the ground reduced, those season tickets absorb a larger share of the total than they would at full capacity. What reaches the public window is what is left.
Sales for an individual fixture usually open a week or two ahead, announced at short notice rather than to a published calendar. Cup dates behave differently again, with shorter windows and less warning, which is often where newcomers find an easier way into this ground.
Italian league tickets are nominative. The name on the ticket must match the identification document you present at the turnstile, transfers between users are restricted, plus nothing is sold at the ground on matchday. Those rules catch out visitors from leagues where a ticket is simply a ticket.
The restrictions tighten again for anyone hoping to sit with the away support. Italian authorities routinely limit visitor sector sales to residents of the visiting club's region, sometimes requiring the away club's own loyalty card as well. Those conditions land days before the match, so a home-area seat is the realistic plan for almost everyone reading this.
Timing is the part most guides skip. Once the general window closes, Fiorentina do not run a public waiting list for an individual fixture. Returned inventory reappears in small amounts across several days rather than in one release. Refreshing a sales page in the final week is a poor use of your time when the seat you want has already gone to an abbonamento holder.
The visitor sector is worth one more line because the numbers surprise people. Away allocations in Serie A are priced by the host club rather than capped league-wide, with a standard Italian away seat this season running at around forty-five euros and sales closing two days before kick-off.
Affordability, in other words, is not the obstacle for a travelling supporter. Eligibility is, which is why the away end rarely decides how hard a Serie A fixture is to buy into.
That is the gap a marketplace fills. Season ticket holders release seats they cannot use, putting inventory in front of buyers with no relationship to Fiorentina that never appears in a public window. The trade-off is that you read the delivery and naming terms on each listing rather than assuming them.
Five things move a Serie A resale price: where the seat sits, how much has already gone, when the fixture falls, what is riding on it and whether hospitality is attached. The club's own banding puts Torino well below the visits of the northern giants, which keeps this one in the sensible half of the range. Reduced capacity puts a floor under it that a normal September fixture would not have.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Fiesole | £50 – £85 | Atmosphere at the lowest outlay | The home end, rebuilt and covered for this season. Standing, singing and flags throughout |
| Maratona | £70 – £120 | Full-pitch views at fair money | The long side opposite the main stand, giving you the whole game in front of you |
| Tribuna laterale | £95 – £165 | Covered side seating | Sheltered and side-on, sitting between the Maratona and the central sections in price |
| Tribuna centrale | £150 – £290+ | Central views and comfort | Under Nervi's cantilevered roof at the halfway line. The first area to clear |
| Hospitality or VIP | £280 – £700+ | Guests, clients or a special occasion | Includes catering and lounge access, priced per person |
One factor is specific to this season alone. Buyers who want to see the ground with the new Fiesole open and the Ferrovia still standing have a single campaign in which to do it, which puts a modest floor under prices that a mid-table September fixture would not usually carry.
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Few grounds in Europe are worth looking at for their own sake. This one is. Nervi's cantilevered roof over the main stand, the spiral staircases and the Torre di Maratona are protected architecture, which is precisely why the redevelopment has been slow and complicated rather than a straightforward demolition.
Working through sectors against the Stadio Artemio Franchi seating plan matters more this season than most. Parts of the ground have changed, cover has been added where there was none, so a block that behaved one way two years ago may sit differently now.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Fiesole, lower | Supporters who want the loudest end | Lower | The home end and the base of the club's organised support. Rebuilt and now covered |
| Curva Fiesole, upper | Atmosphere with a better angle | Lower | Height behind the goal lets you read the game while sitting inside the noisiest stand |
| Maratona | Neutrals and first-time visitors | Mid | The long side opposite the tribune. Sections nearest the Fiesole gained cover in the current works |
| Tribuna laterale | Side-on viewing under a roof | Mid to upper | Covered seating along the main side, away from the central premium blocks |
| Tribuna centrale | Comfort and central sightlines | Upper | Halfway line under the Nervi cantilever, holding the premium and hospitality areas |
| Curva Ferrovia, visitor sector | Travelling Torino supporters | Varies | The away end at the opposite side of the ground from the Fiesole. Allocation and exact section are confirmed fixture by fixture while works continue |
One point separates this ground from most Italian venues at the same price level. Its listed status means the redevelopment has had to work around Nervi's original structure rather than replace it, so the character of each sector varies far more than a uniform modern bowl would allow. Height tends to reward you here, which is why the upper Fiesole and the higher Maratona rows often represent better value than their price implies.
Neutral buyers and anyone bringing children are usually happiest in the Maratona, which gives you the noise without sitting inside it. Florence in early September is hot and a 15:00 kick-off is the warmest slot in the week, so the covered sections earn their premium for reasons that have nothing to do with rain. Wider ground detail sits on the Stadio Artemio Franchi tickets page.
Hospitality at the Franchi is concentrated in the central tribune, which is both the oldest and the most comfortable part of the ground. Packages pair a padded central seat with lounge access before the game and at half-time. Availability is limited on every fixture, with the redevelopment doing nothing to increase it.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seating, Tribuna centrale | Fans upgrading from a standard seat | Central, covered, padded seating with a dedicated entrance and lounge access |
| Hospitality lounge | Couples or small groups marking an occasion | Indoor space with catering, away from the concourse crowd |
| Executive box | Businesses entertaining guests | Private area for a group with personal service and the highest price point in the ground |
| Matchday experience package | Visitors building a trip around the game | Bundles a strong seat with extras such as a stadium tour or a club memento |
Two practical notes. Italian hospitality dress codes are relaxed compared with the English equivalent, so smart casual is normally ample. Catering leans Tuscan, which in Florence is rather more than a detail.
Access windows are generous by Italian standards, typically opening a couple of hours before kick-off. On a September Saturday in Florence that matters more than it would in November, since an air-conditioned room before a three o'clock start is worth something a covered seat alone cannot give you.
There is a scarcity argument here too. Once the Curva Ferrovia work begins the premium areas will be among the first things affected, so the hospitality product available this season is not guaranteed to look the same next year.
Serie A entry is stricter than most European leagues and Florence is no exception. Every ticket carries a named holder, identification is checked at the turnstile, plus there is no ticket office selling on the day. The delivery method on your listing therefore decides how smooth your afternoon is.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile or e-ticket | Which name the ticket is issued in, when it will be sent, plus enough phone battery for the afternoon |
| Card-linked entry | How the card reaches you, whether it must be returned afterwards, plus what the seller asks by way of a deposit |
| Local collection in Florence | The meeting point, the collection window on matchday, plus what identification you need to bring |
| Courier or printed ticket | The dispatch date, an address you can genuinely receive at while travelling, plus tracking details |
The naming rule is worth understanding rather than fearing. Italian clubs operate a change-of-user process that reissues a ticket in a new holder's details. Reputable sellers complete it as part of fulfilment, which is why some listings deliver later than you might expect elsewhere in Europe. A listing that does not explain how your name reaches the ticket is the one to question before payment.
Beyond that, carry photo identification matching the ticket, charge your phone if entry is digital, then allow time at the turnstiles. Building works mean access routes have changed more than once in recent seasons, so check the gate on your ticket rather than relying on a previous visit.
1BoxOffice has run as a verified marketplace since 2006 and every order carries a 150% money-back guarantee, so the sequence below is built to leave nothing unresolved on matchday.
Step1
Open the fixture listing
Go to the page for the 5 September match in Florence. Confirm the date, the 15:00 kick-off and the venue first, because Serie A dates move for broadcast reasons more often than most leagues.
Step2
Set up your account
You can create an account in a minute or two. Getting it done before you shop means no delays at checkout when the listing you want is the last one in its band.
Step3
Filter by quantity first
Set how many seats you need before you touch the price filter. Listings sell in fixed groupings, so filtering in the wrong order quietly hides options that would have suited your party.
Step4
Compare sectors, not just prices
With parts of the ground newly covered and others still open, the gap between two similarly priced blocks is often about shade and shelter rather than the view. Decide what you want before you sort by cost.
Step5
Read the listing notes
The notes carry what actually decides whether a ticket works: naming requirements, delivery timing, restricted views, or whether seats in a group are genuinely together.
Step6
Confirm the full price at checkout
The checkout screen shows the total including fees and delivery. Compare listings on that figure rather than the headline number, because the ranking often changes once everything is added.
Step7
Complete payment securely
Pay through the encrypted checkout, then keep the confirmation email somewhere you can find it. It carries the order reference you will need for any follow-up.
Step8
Follow your order to delivery
Use the track order tool to watch progress. If you are travelling, set the expected delivery date against your itinerary so nothing lands at an address you have already left.
Florence is one of the easier Italian cities to build a trip around. The city airport is small, so many visitors route through Pisa or Bologna and take the train in. High-speed services from Rome and Milan run frequently. A 15:00 Saturday kick-off leaves the whole evening free, which is not something most European away days offer.
Getting to the ground is simple. The Franchi sits in the Campo di Marte district a couple of kilometres east of the centre, with its own railway station beside the stadium and a walk of around half an hour from the Duomo. Settle delivery before you fix travel, since a mobile ticket follows you while a courier needs an address you will still be at. Flag any request for seats together at the point of purchase too.
Something changed in this fixture around a decade ago. Torino returned to Serie A in 2012 and their first visit to Florence produced seven goals, but the meetings since have settled into something far more cautious. Across the fourteen league visits Torino have made to the Franchi in that run they have won once, drawn six times and lost seven.
The one win is worth naming because it is so isolated. Torino took three points in Florence in January 2023 and have not managed it before or since in this sequence, which for a club of their standing is a striking record at a single ground. Five of the last seven meetings here have finished level or been decided by a single goal.
What that record means for a buyer is worth stating plainly. This is not a fixture that reliably produces goals. A page promising otherwise would be selling you something the last decade does not support. What it does deliver is a full ground in one of the most striking stadiums in Italian football, in the season it turns a hundred.

Source note: every score above was confirmed against two independent records, drawn from RSSSF Italian league season archives, worldfootball.net and Italian match reports for the most recent meetings.
Yes, though less so than last year. The target for the centenary season is around 35,000 against a nominal 43,147, with the rebuilt Curva Fiesole back in use after the ground ran at 24,786 in 2025/26.
No, but abbonamento holders take a larger share of a reduced ground than they would at full capacity. The resale market is how buyers outside that base reach the better sectors.
The visitor sector sits in the Curva Ferrovia at the opposite end from the home support, with the exact section and allocation confirmed close to the fixture while building work continues. Regional residency conditions are frequently applied to those sales.
The central tribune has been covered since 1931 by the Nervi cantilever, with the rebuilt Fiesole plus its adjoining sections gaining roofing in the current works. Much of the Maratona remains open to the sky.
No. Work on the Curva Ferrovia is due to start once the centenary campaign ends, which brings capacity down again for 2027/28. This season is the high point until the project finishes.
