The Franchi is one of the landmark grounds of Italian football. Fiorentina have played here since 1931, beneath the 70-metre Tower of Marathon and the reinforced concrete stands designed by Pier Luigi Nervi. In 2026/27 it is also a ground in transition, with major redevelopment work running alongside the football.
The history between these sides in Florence favours the hosts. Fiorentina have won ten of 14 Serie A meetings here and are unbeaten in the last six. Venezia's last win at this ground came in 1963.
Capacity is the key factor this season. The redevelopment has cut the Franchi from 43,147 seats to roughly 24,800, with the Curva Fiesole closed and parts of the Maratona out of use. Fewer seats means the remaining good areas go faster than they would in a full stadium.
Venezia FC return to Serie A as a newly promoted side, which gives this meeting a different feel from the routine mid-table fixture. The trip from the lagoon to Tuscany is around two hours by high-speed train. Visiting supporters buy through their own club, so the away section is filled separately from the home sale.
Supply on the open market is limited. Most of the reduced capacity goes to season ticket holders first. The sections that remain on general sale carry purchase rules that rule out many overseas buyers. That makes resale the practical route for a large share of visitors.
The season carries extra meaning in Florence. Fiorentina were founded in 1926, so 2026/27 is the club's centenary campaign, played out in a stadium that is being rebuilt for its next hundred years. It gives every home match this season an added sense of occasion.
Timing adds to the appeal. Early March brings milder weather to Florence and fewer crowds in the city than the spring and summer peaks. Hotels are easier to find, which suits anyone building a weekend around the match.
Only in some areas. Fiorentina require every ticket holder in most home sections to hold an InViola Premium Card, the club's supporter card, which you request through the club's online account. The exceptions are the Tribuna VIP, Tribuna d'Onore and Poltronissima, where no card is needed.
Season ticket holders also come first. The 2026/27 season ticket covers all 19 home league games. Holders can pass their seat to another card holder for a limited number of matches. Single-match tickets often go on sale only a few days before kick-off, which leaves little room to plan travel.
That is where the marketplace helps. Sellers on 1BoxOffice list seats well ahead of the club's sale, so you can choose an area, check the delivery method and book flights around confirmed tickets. For overseas visitors, groups wanting seats together and anyone unfamiliar with Italian ticketing, it removes most of the uncertainty.
There is one route for visitors without a card. Fans who live abroad have been able to buy home-section tickets in person at the Fiorentina Point in the city centre, outside the Curva Ferrovia, without holding the card. That only works if you are already in Florence when the single-match sale opens.
Italian tickets are issued in a named holder's name, so read the listing notes carefully. They explain how the ticket will be assigned to you and what ID you need to bring on the day.
Five things set the price of a seat for this match: its position in the ground, overall demand, how close to kick-off you buy, the competition context and whether hospitality is included. With capacity reduced during the works, supply is tighter than the opponent alone would suggest. Current listings for this fixture start at around £48 in the longside areas, with a VIP lounge package including a meal listed at around £158.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Ferrovia (home end during the works) | £35 – £60 | Atmosphere seekers who hold an InViola card | The noisiest part of the ground this season; card rules apply |
| Maratona and Distinti di Maratona | £48 – £85 | Fans who want a side-on view at a fair price | The longside opposite the main stand, beneath the tower |
| Tribuna Laterale and Parterre Tribuna | £60 – £110 | Couples and small groups wanting a covered view | Seats along the main stand away from the centre line |
| Poltronissima and Tribuna d'Onore | £100 – £200 | Premium seating without a full hospitality package | Central main-stand seats; no InViola card required |
| Hospitality and VIP | £155 – £450+ per person | Corporate guests and special occasions | From lounge packages with a meal to private suites and boxes |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
For context, the club's 2026/27 season tickets work out at roughly €19 a game in the Curva Ferrovia and about €177 a game in the Tribuna VIP for new holders. Single-match prices sit above those figures. Resale adds a further premium for securing seats weeks in advance.
Listings on 1BoxOffice are shown in pounds, while the club sets its prices in euros. Keep that in mind when comparing figures quoted on Italian fan forums with what you see at checkout. The current longside listing offers up to four seats together, which suits small groups.
Expect movement at three points. The first comes when Serie A confirms the exact slot for Matchday 27. The second follows the club's single-match sale, which usually opens only days before the game. The third arrives in the final week, when season ticket holders who cannot attend start to release seats.
The Franchi has an unusual shape, with space between the ends and the pitch and long sweeping sides. The covered main stand, the Tribuna, runs along one side with the Maratona facing it beneath the tower. The Curva Fiesole and Curva Ferrovia close off the ends. Our Stadio Artemio Franchi seating plan shows every section block by block.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Ferrovia | Fans who want the loudest home atmosphere | Entry | The home end of the organised support while the Fiesole is rebuilt; InViola card needed |
| Maratona (central and Distinti) | Side-on views at a fair price | Mid | Faces the main stand; parts of the stand are closed for works, so check the block in the listing |
| Parterre Maratona | Fans who want to be close to the pitch | Mid | Lower seating in front of the Maratona, sold in covered and uncovered sections |
| Tribuna Laterale and Tribuna Esterna | Buyers who want cover at a lower price | Mid | The ends of the main stand; Esterna is the more affordable option |
| Poltronissima, Tribuna d'Onore and Tribuna VIP | Central views and premium seating | Upper | The heart of the main stand beneath Nervi's canopy; open to buyers without an InViola card |
| Away section (Curva Esterna) | Venezia supporters | Away allocation | A small visitors' area sold through Venezia, cut to a few hundred seats during the works; Venezia colours elsewhere in the ground risk refused entry or ejection |
The ground carries real history. It opened in September 1931 as the Stadio Giovanni Berta, hosted matches at the 1934 World Cup and staged football at the 1960 Rome Olympics. It took the name of the former Italian football federation president Artemio Franchi in 1991.
The works also affect where some regulars sit. The club has warned season ticket holders that they may be moved temporarily to other sectors during the season. Resale seats can therefore shift within a sector, so check the listing notes for any relocation clause.
Two practical points matter in March. Florence is mild but can be wet. Only the main stand is fully covered. Bring a waterproof layer if you are sitting in the Maratona or either end.
Neutral buyers and undecided fans are usually happiest in the Tribuna or the central Maratona, where polite applause for good football from either side draws no attention. If you are bringing children, choose seats away from the visitors' area and read the listing notes for age rules. For other matches and events at the ground, browse our Stadio Artemio Franchi tickets. Supporters with reduced mobility should contact the club directly, as accessible places are allocated individually.
Fiorentina's hospitality is built around the historic main stand. The range runs from lively lounges to private suites and boxes. Places in each are limited, so secure a package early if hospitality is part of the plan.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Sports Club | Groups of friends after a lively upgrade | A busy, informal lounge built around the matchday atmosphere |
| Lounge 100 | First-time hospitality guests | A VIP lounge themed around the club's history, with a refined setting before kick-off |
| Vallepicciola Wine Club | Food and wine lovers | A plated menu paired with featured wines, with a sommelier present at each game |
| Suite 1926 | Corporate guests wanting privacy | Private suites named after the club's founding year, with plated service before the match and at half-time |
At the top end, the Tribuna Autorità gives access to the stadium foyer, reached by the monumental staircase with its original 1930s marble. Sky Boxes for up to ten guests add a private lounge with a direct view of the pitch and reserved seats outside.
When comparing packages, look at four things: whether drinks are inclusive, whether dining is a buffet or a served meal, where the seats sit relative to halfway and how early the lounge opens. Those details separate a pleasant upgrade from a memorable day.
Fiorentina tickets are issued digitally. Every route below ends with a named e-ticket in your inbox or on your phone. Match dates and times can change for broadcast reasons, so keep travel plans flexible until the slot is confirmed.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| E-ticket (PDF) | That the holder name and seat details match the listing; print a copy as a backup |
| Mobile ticket | That the seller will transfer it to you and that your phone can display it at the turnstile |
| Hospitality confirmation | That it states your lounge, seat location and arrival time |
| Late release close to the match | When the seller expects to send the ticket; many arrive in the final days before kick-off |
Read the listing notes before you pay, as they set out the delivery format and how the ticket will be assigned to you. Bring valid photo ID that matches the name on your ticket, as stewards at Italian grounds can check it at entry. If your ticket has not arrived by the day before the match, contact 1BoxOffice customer support with your order number. Keep your phone charged, as a flat battery at the turnstile is a problem no seller can fix.
Getting there is easy. Firenze Campo di Marte station is around 400 metres from the stadium, with local trains from Santa Maria Novella stopping there. Buses 7, 17 and 20 run from the city centre, with extra services on matchdays.
The ground sits about 3 kilometres from the historic centre. Walking from the Duomo takes around 45 minutes, which can be quicker than queuing for a bus after the final whistle. Arrive 45 minutes to an hour before kick-off to clear the security checks without rushing.

Florence is easy to reach from abroad. Florence Airport is a short tram ride from the city centre, while Pisa Airport is about an hour away by train. High-speed services also link Florence with Rome, Milan and Venice. They arrive at Santa Maria Novella, from where local trains reach Campo di Marte in a few minutes.
Bologna is under 40 minutes away by high-speed train, which makes a two-match weekend realistic. If the fixture list allows, the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara is an easy addition to the trip.
Because the exact slot is still provisional, book flexible fares or accommodation that can move by a day. If you are travelling as a group, request seats together at the point of purchase and confirm the arrangement in the listing notes before paying. Make sure your phone works abroad, because a mobile ticket needs to load at the turnstile.
Italy is one hour ahead of the UK in early March, as both countries change their clocks later in the month. Local start times for the provisional slot and the other common Serie A kick-offs:
The meetings in Florence fall into clear eras. The first came between 1939 and 1949, when Venezia were a regular top-flight side and won here once, 3-1 in January 1942. Fiorentina's 5-0 win in September 1949 remains the widest margin in this fixture at the Franchi. The 1960s then brought Venezia's most famous result in the city, a 4-1 win in May 1963.
Since then the balance has swung firmly towards the hosts. Venezia's Serie A spells have been short. Fiorentina won all three home meetings between 1998 and 2001. The modern meetings have been tighter, a 1-0 home win in April 2022 followed by a goalless draw in August 2024.
What makes this fixture distinctive is the length of Fiorentina's run. Venezia have not won in Florence for more than 60 years. Only one of their last six visits has ended without a home win. Every Venezia trip now carries the question of whether that run can finally end.
The setting adds to it. The next meeting comes in a stadium mid-way through its rebuild, with the home support relocated and the old Fiesole end still closed. It is a rare chance to see the Franchi in a form that will not exist once the works are finished.
The figures below cover every Serie A meeting at the Stadio Artemio Franchi with Fiorentina as hosts, from October 1939 to August 2024. The ground was known as the Stadio Giovanni Berta and then the Stadio Comunale before taking its current name in 1991. Fiorentina have kept six clean sheets in those 14 games.

Not if you sit in the Tribuna VIP, Tribuna d'Onore or Poltronissima. Most other home sections require the card, so check the listing notes for your area.
Serie A usually fixes the exact day and time a few weeks before each round. Until then, treat Sunday 7 March at 15:00 as provisional.
In a small visitors' section sold through Venezia, reduced in size during the works. Visiting colours should stay in that area.
No. The rebuilt Fiesole is not due to be completed until the end of April 2027, so the home support sits in the Curva Ferrovia this season.
Yes, provided the listing states that the seats are together. Larger groups have more choice if they are willing to sit in pairs nearby.
