Buy Genoa vs Juventus tickets for the 2026/27 season and you are buying into the fixture that empties Marassi's ticket office fastest. Kickoff is 20:00 on Wednesday 28 October 2026 at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, a midweek slot that concentrates demand rather than dispersing it. Genoa have beaten Juventus three times in their last ten Serie A meetings at this ground, which is a better return than most Italian clubs manage.

The supply problem here is arithmetic. Genoa sold 28,101 season tickets for the 2025/26 campaign, a club record, against a ground that holds 36,599. Average attendance passed 30,000. Once the visiting sector and hospitality are removed from what is left, the pool reaching general sale for a fixture like this is small enough that Genoa tickets for the marquee dates rarely survive the member window.
Marassi does the rest. It is a four-stand ground with no running track, steep tiers and a crowd close enough to the pitch that the noise has nowhere to escape. A Wednesday night under lights against the most-followed club in Italy is the version of this stadium that people travel for.
Juventus carry a support base spread across every Italian region and a large following outside the country, which is why their away fixtures behave differently from everyone else's. A visit from them fills seats that a mid-table opponent would leave empty, and it draws neutral buyers from Milan, Turin and the Ligurian coast who would not otherwise make a midweek trip. Buyers looking specifically at Juventus tickets tend to be competing for the same inventory as Genoa supporters without a season ticket.
The visiting allocation does not absorb that demand. Away sectors in Serie A are modest by English standards, and Italian authorities can restrict away-sector sales to residents of the visiting club's province on a fixture-by-fixture basis. When that restriction applies, a Juventus follower living outside Piedmont cannot buy in the away end at all, and the pressure moves straight onto home-area listings.
Then there is the midweek slot. A 20:00 Wednesday kickoff removes the day-trip crowd but adds the local weeknight audience, and it shortens the selling window because the fixture sits between two league weekends rather than anchoring one. Sellers list later and buyers decide faster.
Juventus are also in the Europa League this season rather than the Champions League, which changes their calendar shape. A group of continental fixtures on Thursdays pushes their league programme around and makes midweek league dates like this one more likely to hold their slot, so the risk of a late reschedule is lower than it would be in a Champions League season.
It is worth being precise about what the supply picture actually leaves. A 36,599 capacity minus 28,101 season tickets gives roughly 8,500 seats before anything else is taken out, and the visiting sector plus hospitality and accessible positions come out of that number rather than out of the season ticket base. What reaches a public window on a Juventus night is a few thousand seats spread unevenly across five areas, most of them at the ends.
Yes, though the club route is narrow. Genoa's abbonamento holders are served automatically, and what remains goes to registered members before anything reaches a public window. With season tickets at record levels, the fixtures that reach open sale in any volume are the quieter ones, and this is not among them.
The resale market carries no membership requirement and no registration window. On 1BoxOffice the listing names the stand and the tier before you commit, which matters at a ground where the Distinti alone has three levels and the difference between them is the difference between reading the game and squinting at it.
What you cannot skip is the Italian naming rule. Every Serie A ticket is issued in a named holder's details and checked against photo identification at the turnstile, so the name on the ticket has to match the person carrying it. This is enforced more strictly in Italy than in England, Spain or Germany, and it is the single most common reason a visiting buyer runs into trouble on the night.
The practical consequence is simple. Confirm at the point of purchase how the ticket will be issued and in whose name before you book flights or a hotel around it. A listing that cannot answer that question clearly is a listing to leave alone, whatever the price.
Italian clubs also run their single-match sales in phases rather than one release, and the sequence matters if you are trying to time a purchase. Season ticket holders get a pre-emption window on their own seat, registered members follow, and only then does anything reach open sale. For a fixture at this level the first two phases usually account for the bulk of it, which is why resale listings for Serie A appear earlier relative to the date than they do in England.
Five things move the price on this fixture. The stand and tier, how much of the ground is already committed to season ticket holders, the midweek slot, the opponent's pulling power and whether you want hospitality. Juventus fixtures sit at the top of Genoa's own pricing bands, and resale reflects that from the moment listings open.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gradinata Sud | £150 – £250 | Getting into a sold-out Marassi at the lowest outlay | Behind the goal and quieter than the Nord on a Genoa matchday |
| Gradinata Nord | £160 – £270 | Supporters who came for the atmosphere | The home end and the source of the noise; standing throughout is the norm |
| Distinti, middle tier | £190 – £320 | Side-on viewing at a sensible price | The strongest value bracket in the ground for height against cost |
| Tribuna, central | £300 – £550+ | Balanced viewing, guests and first visits | The main stand, with the fullest facilities and the shortest concourse walk |
| Hospitality and VIP | £550 – £1,100+ | Companies, groups and once-a-season trips | Limited in number because the building leaves little room for lounges |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Midweek fixtures follow a different curve from weekend ones. Listings arrive later because sellers wait to see whether they can attend on a work night, and the volume peaks inside the final fortnight rather than a month out. Buyers who watch a Saturday fixture and expect the same rhythm here usually find the market thinner early and busier late.
One currency note for buyers outside the eurozone. Serie A face values are set in euros and resale listings may be shown in sterling, so the figure you compare against a face value is already carrying a conversion. Check the total at the final screen rather than the headline, and remember that your own card issuer may add a further margin on top of whatever rate is applied.
Marassi has stood on the same site since 1911 and was rebuilt inside that footprint for the 1990 World Cup, which is why it feels tighter and steeper than newer Italian grounds. The two ends are the Gradinata Nord and the Gradinata Sud, the main side is the Tribuna and the opposite side is the three-tiered Distinti. Block-level detail sits on the Stadio Luigi Ferraris seating plan, and the Stadio Luigi Ferraris tickets page lists what else is on there this season.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribuna, central blocks | Guests, first visits, halfway-line viewing | Higher | Covered, closest to the tunnel and the quickest route to concourse services |
| Distinti, upper tier | Reading the shape of the game | Mid to higher | The fullest view of the pitch in the ground, at the cost of detail on individual play |
| Distinti, middle tier | Neutrals and value-led buyers | Mid | Steep enough to see over the row in front and clear of both ends |
| Gradinata Nord | Atmosphere above comfort | Lower to mid | Flags, singing and standing for the full ninety minutes; not the place for children |
| Gradinata Sud | Lower-priced seats behind a goal | Lower | Calmer than the Nord and usually the last home area to sell out |
| Visiting supporters' sector | Travelling Juventus supporters | Set by allocation, not by market | Sales may be limited to residents of the visiting club's province, decided fixture by fixture |
For a neutral or a first-time visitor, the middle tier of the Distinti is the honest recommendation. It gives you the height that makes the pitch readable, it keeps you clear of both ends and it costs materially less than the Tribuna for a view many regulars prefer. Listings often quote the stand without the tier, so ask before you buy if that distinction matters to you.
Give yourself time on the approach. Marassi sits in a dense residential quarter with narrow streets feeding the turnstiles and no large open concourse outside, and a midweek 20:00 kickoff compresses arrivals into a shorter window than a weekend afternoon does. Ninety minutes before kickoff turns a crush into a walk and leaves room for the identification check.
Hospitality at Marassi runs out of the Tribuna and is small in scale, which is a function of the building rather than the club. A ground rebuilt within its original footprint has limited room for lounges, and most of what exists is committed across the full season rather than sold fixture by fixture. For a Juventus visit, what does reach the market moves quickly.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Private box | Companies hosting clients and groups travelling together | An enclosed space with catering and a separate entrance away from the general concourse |
| Lounge seat with dining | Couples and small groups marking the trip | Central Tribuna seating with a meal before kickoff and lounge access at the interval |
| Premium seat with lounge access | Buyers wanting comfort without a dining commitment | A better seat in a sheltered position with faster service than the general concourse |
| Group package | Parties of eight or more | Seats held together in one block with catering arranged in advance |
Inclusions vary by package and by fixture, and a midweek Serie A night will not carry the same format as a weekend derby. Check what time access opens if you are travelling in on the day, because a 20:00 kickoff leaves less margin than the timings suggest once you factor in the walk from Brignole.
The city itself works in your favour for the evening around the match. Genoa's historic centre sits about 1.5 kilometres from the ground, which is close enough to eat properly before heading up and still be back in the caruggi afterwards without arranging transport in advance.
Serie A entry is stricter than most leagues, and the delivery method matters more here than it would at an English or German ground. Each listing states its own method before you buy, and that determines both your lead time and what you need to carry on the night.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket transfer | Whose name the ticket will be issued in and how close to kickoff the transfer lands |
| E-ticket PDF | That the named holder details are correct and that the file is print-ready if printed entry applies |
| Courier or postal delivery | The delivery window against your travel dates, and whether an overseas address is supported |
| Local collection | The collection point, its opening hours and the identification required to release the tickets |
Carry the photo identification that matches the name on your ticket, and carry it on the night rather than leaving it in the hotel safe. Read the listing notes before completing the purchase, because they hold the fixture-specific conditions a general description cannot. If your seats arrive as a mobile transfer, charge the phone and load the ticket before you leave for the ground.

Step1
Start on the fixture page
Work from the listing page for this specific match rather than a general search, so everything you see is inventory for 28 October at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Step2
Set up your account
You can create an account before you start browsing. It saves time at checkout and keeps your order history together if you are buying more than one fixture on the same trip.
Step3
Filter by quantity first
Set how many seats you need before anything else. A three-tiered stand splits inventory in ways that scatter groups, and filtering first stops you committing to a listing that cannot cover everyone.
Step4
Choose your stand and tier
Decide between the Tribuna, the three levels of the Distinti and the two Gradinate before you compare prices. At Marassi the tier changes the experience as much as the stand does.
Step5
Read the listing notes
Naming details, delivery method, seats-together status and any age restriction all sit in the notes. On an Italian fixture this is the step that decides whether you get in.
Step6
Check the total at checkout
The figure on the final screen is what you pay. Confirm the currency if you are buying from outside the eurozone, since your card issuer may apply its own conversion on top.
Step7
Complete the purchase
Pay through the secure checkout and keep the confirmation email. It carries the order reference you will need for anything that follows.
Step8
Follow your order to delivery
Use track order to see where your tickets are. Named Serie A tickets are often issued late in the cycle, so a quiet tracker in the final week is normal rather than a warning sign.
Genoa is easier to reach than its reputation suggests, and a Wednesday fixture works better than it sounds. Cristoforo Colombo airport sits just west of the city, Milan is under two hours by train and the coastal line connects Turin, Pisa and the Cinque Terre without a car. For the ground itself, aim for Brignole rather than Principe: from there it is roughly a kilometre along the Bisagno, or a short ride on the 480 or 482 bus.
Two things decide whether an overseas purchase goes smoothly. The first is the naming rule already covered, which needs settling before you book anything non-refundable. The second is seats together, which should be confirmed explicitly at the point of purchase rather than assumed in a stand built on three levels. Serie A can still adjust kickoff times for broadcast, so anyone comparing this against other football tickets on the same trip should keep a little flexibility in the return leg.
Juventus have won more away Serie A matches at Genoa than any other visiting club, and they have still lost twenty times there. That is the shape of this fixture across its full history: overwhelming visiting superiority interrupted often enough that nobody in the Gradinata Nord treats a defeat as inevitable. The ground has a long record of taking points from title-winning sides.
The last decade follows the same pattern in miniature. Across the ten Serie A meetings at Marassi since 2015, Juventus have won six and Genoa three, with one draw. Two of those Genoa wins came in seasons where the club was fighting relegation, which tells you something about how the fixture is approached rather than how the table looked.
The wider record puts that in context. Across the full Serie A history of this fixture at Marassi, Juventus have taken 24 wins to Genoa's 20 with 11 draws, which is close by the standards of a club that has spent most of the past century as Italian football's dominant force. Very few grounds hold that kind of balance against them, and it is the reason a Juventus visit here has never been treated as a formality by either set of supporters.
What makes the fixture distinctive is the gap between expectation and outcome. Genoa go in as the underdog every time and have still won three of the last ten at home, and two of the visiting wins in that run were by a single goal. For a buyer, that is the difference between a night out and a night worth booking travel around.

Scores shown as Genoa first. Every result was confirmed against at least two independent sources before publication.
Not on the resale market. Membership governs the club's own sale windows, but a resale listing is open to anyone with no registration or attendance history behind it.
Yes. Serie A tickets are issued to a named holder and checked against photo identification at the turnstile, so confirm how yours will be issued before you book travel around it.
In the designated visiting sector, which varies by fixture. Sales into that sector can be restricted to residents of the visiting club's province, so check the announcement for this match rather than assuming.
The middle tier of the Distinti, on most nights. It has the height to make the pitch readable without the Tribuna premium, and it sits clear of both goal ends.
Ninety minutes is comfortable. The streets feeding the turnstiles are narrow and the identification check adds time that a weekend afternoon crowd would absorb more easily.
