Buy Genoa vs Torino tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Serie A fixture listed for Sunday 6 December 2026 at 17:00 local time (16:00 UK, 20:00 UAE). The match falls on matchday 14, and Serie A confirms final days and kick-off times a few weeks ahead, so the slot can still move within that weekend. What is settled is the setting: Italy's oldest football ground and one of the friendliest pairings of supporters in the country.

The fixture is played at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in the Marassi district, a ground that opened in 1911 and still feels like an English-style stadium with stands pressed close to the pitch. Genoa, founded in 1893 and the oldest club still playing in Italy, fill it with some of the most vivid displays in the league, and a December visit from Torino adds a very particular atmosphere.
For a buyer, the key points are simple. Tickets in Italy are issued in the holder's name, the home end has been sold out for decades and the visiting support usually travels in numbers for this match. Each of these shapes where you can sit and how you should buy.
Genoa and Torino supporters share one of the oldest friendships in Italian football. It dates back to 30 December 1973, when a group of Genoa fans laid flowers in memory of the Torino winger Gigi Meroni, and it was strengthened over the years by shared rivalries with Sampdoria and Juventus.
That friendship came under strain after a tense end to the 2008/09 season, but it was publicly renewed at the Ferraris on 7 December 2024. Around 850 Torino fans arrived in Genoa by train that day and walked the last stretch to the stadium alongside home supporters, while the Gradinata Nord displayed a banner declaring the two clubs "two teams, one heart". A crowd of more than 32,000 watched the match.
The renewed bond drives demand from both sides. Travelling Torino fans want to be part of the occasion, home supporters treat the fixture as a celebration and the atmosphere draws neutrals who might otherwise skip a mid-table league match.
Capacity is the limiting factor. The Ferraris holds 33,205, most seats are under cover and the Gradinata Nord has been sold out for decades. Genoa say they have ranked among the top eight clubs in Italy for stadium occupancy since 2010, so there is little slack in the system for a popular Sunday fixture.
The last meeting at Marassi, in February 2026, drew more than 31,000 for a 12:30 kick-off. A December date in the afternoon or evening is likely to pull at least as many.
History adds to the pull. Genoa won the first Italian championship in 1898 and have nine national titles in total, while Torino count seven league titles, including the run of the Grande Torino side lost in the Superga air disaster of 1949. Two clubs with that much heritage give the fixture a weight that goes beyond the current league table.
Yes, but the rules are stricter than in the UK. Every ticket in Italy is nominative, which means it carries the holder's name, and you must show a valid identity document at the stadium. When buying through the club you need to provide ID details at the point of sale.
Genoa sell single-match tickets online, at the Ticket Office by the Porto Antico and through Vivaticket outlets, usually with a limit of four tickets per person in the ordinary sectors. The club's DNA Genoa card is required for season tickets and unlocks promotions, but a standard single-match ticket does not require it.
The Ticket Office on Via al Porto Antico opens daily from 10:00 to 19:00, and the club also sells through its store in Chiavari. Sales for home matches have typically opened a week or two before kick-off this season, and the club announces each sale on its website.
The Gradinata Nord is effectively closed to casual buyers. Places there only become available when season ticket holders release their seat through the club's resale service, and those seats go quickly for a fixture like this one.
That resale service has clear timings. Season ticket holders in the Gradinata Nord, Distinti, Gradinata Zena and Tribuna can list their seat once the match sale opens and up to 48 hours before kick-off. If nobody buys it, the seat returns to the holder 24 hours before the match, so late availability through the club is unpredictable.
Supporters who plan to attend regularly can apply for a DNA Genoa card at the Ticket Office with an identity document and an Italian tax code, or through the club's online process. For a single visit, it adds little beyond access to occasional promotions.
Visiting fans buy through the guest sector sale. From one match to the next, Genoa may restrict that sale to holders of the away club's supporter card or apply residence limits, and those rules are announced before each fixture. For earlier home matches this season, guest tickets were sold both with and without that card requirement, so follow the announcement closest to the date.
A verified resale marketplace is the practical route for overseas visitors and anyone who misses the club sale. Listings state the sector, the name-change process and the delivery method up front, and every order carries a guarantee.
Five factors shape the price. Seat location matters most, with the Tribuna and central Distinti priced well above the curves. Demand is lifted by the renewed friendship between the fanbases, and timing counts because season ticket resale and club sales narrow supply as the match approaches.
The competition context of a 2026/27 Serie A fixture in December keeps interest steady, and hospitality sits in a separate bracket. For reference, Genoa's club prices for a standard home league match earlier this season ran from €35 in the Gradinata to €240 in the Tribuna Superba, while higher-profile fixtures carried higher prices.
The gap between categories is clear from this season's club prices. For the opening home match against Napoli, the Distinti Centrali were priced at €150 and the Tribuna Superba at €300, compared with €120 and €240 for a standard fixture. Genoa set the category for each match, so the Torino price list will only be known when the sale opens.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gradinata Laterale or Gradinata Zena | £45 – £100 | Budget-aware fans | End or corner views close to the action |
| Gradinata Nord | £50 – £120 | Fans who want to sing all match | Only available through season ticket resale |
| Distinti | £110 – £220 | First-time visitors and couples | Full side view opposite the main stand |
| Tribuna Inferiore | £160 – £300 | Buyers wanting a central main stand seat | Lower tier of the covered main stand |
| Tribuna Superba and hospitality | £220 – £500+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Premium seating, with packages varying by match |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The Stadio Luigi Ferraris is a compact, rectangular ground with four stands close to the touchlines. For Genoa home matches the sectors are the Gradinata Nord behind one goal, the Gradinata Zena behind the other, the Distinti along one side and the Tribuna along the other, with Gradinata Laterale places in the corners.
Use the Stadio Luigi Ferraris seating plan to match your listing to the right sector before you buy. Each sector has its own entrances, and the name on your ticket must match the person using it.
The Gradinata Nord is the reason many visitors come. Genoa describe it as the heart of their support and a stage for choreographies recognised across Italy, and even from the opposite end or the Distinti the displays before kick-off are a highlight of the day.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gradinata Nord | Committed home fans | Lower, resale only | The heart of Genoa's support and home of its choreographies; expect to stand and sing throughout |
| Gradinata Zena | Home fans and value-minded neutrals | Lower | The opposite end, known as the Gradinata Sud when Sampdoria are at home |
| Gradinata Laterale | Budget buyers wanting an angled view | Lower | Corner sectors; some parts may be closed for lower-demand matches |
| Distinti | Neutrals, families and first-timers | Mid | Long-side seats split into central and lateral areas; the central blocks give a balanced view |
| Tribuna Inferiore and Tribuna Superba | Buyers wanting the main stand view or premium seats | Upper to premium | Covered main stand with the press area, sky boxes and lounge on the upper level |
| Settore Ospiti | Torino supporters | Lower to mid | Guest sector of around 2,000 places, entered through gates 81 to 84; sale conditions set by the club before each match |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should aim for the Distinti. It offers a complete view of both ends, including the displays in the Gradinata Nord, without the intensity of standing in the curve. Given the friendship between the clubs, Torino colours are less of an issue here than at most away grounds, but wearing neutral clothing outside the guest sector is still the sensible choice.
Families should note that reduced under-16 prices are available in sectors such as the Distinti and Tribuna Inferiore, and that even children under 14 need identity documents if they attend without an adult. Arriving early helps, as entrance queues move slowly when every single ticket has to be matched to an ID document.
Genoa's premium offer is built around the Tribuna. A 2019 renovation moved the press area to the upper main stand, creating four sky boxes with glass fronts facing the pitch and a lounge area with a direct view of the field.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Genoa Hospitality seats | Business hosts and couples | A reserved Tribuna seat with table service and catering before the match |
| Sky boxes and lounge area | Corporate groups | Glass-fronted boxes and a lounge overlooking the pitch in the upper main stand |
| Gold and Silver experience packages | Guests marking a special occasion | Access to the club's more exclusive stadium areas, with contents set per match |
| Pitch Box, Live Countdown and family experiences | Fans wanting something different | Behind-the-scenes and pitchside formats, including options for children |
Genoa release experience packages match by match, and availability is often limited. For a fixture with this kind of atmosphere, premium places can disappear once the club sale opens, which leaves resale as the most reliable route.
When buying, confirm what the package includes, where the seat sits and whether guest names need to be registered in advance. Because all tickets are nominative, hospitality guests also need matching ID on the day.
Plan to arrive early if you have a premium seat. Hospitality areas are in the Tribuna, and reaching them through match-day crowds in Marassi takes longer than the short distance suggests.

Step1
Open the fixture listings
Select Genoa against Torino for the weekend of 6 December so you only see inventory for this match.
Step2
Get your account ready
Create an account before listings move. Saved details make the later steps faster when stock is limited.
Step3
Choose your sector
Decide between the Distinti, the Tribuna, the Gradinata or the guest sector. Price and atmosphere change sharply from one to the next.
Step4
Set the quantity
If you need seats together, filter by quantity first. Pairs appear far more often than groups of four.
Step5
Read the listing notes
Confirm the sector, the delivery format and how the name on the ticket will be changed to yours.
Step6
Compare the full total
Judge listings on the final price including fees rather than the headline figure.
Step7
Pay securely
Complete payment on the encrypted page. Your order reference and confirmation email arrive straight away.
Step8
Follow your order
Use track order with your reference. Name changes and ticket releases for Serie A matches often happen in the final days, so a short wait is normal.
Italian tickets are issued through Genoa's Vivaticket system and carry the holder's name. That makes the delivery stage slightly different from UK football, because a resale ticket usually needs a name change or a transfer to the buyer before match day.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| E-ticket with name change | How and when the ticket will be reissued in your name |
| Season ticket resale seat | The sector, the seat number and the document you need to present at entry |
| Printed ticket | The courier or collection arrangement and the expected delivery date |
| Hospitality ticket | The guest names required and the entrance to use on arrival |
Read the listing notes carefully and bring valid photo ID, since the name on the ticket is compared with your document at the turnstile. Charge your phone for mobile entry and keep a copy of your ticket available offline.
Be aware that the authorities can suspend name changes at any time for security reasons. Buying early gives the seller time to complete the process before any such restriction applies.
Pack light and follow the usual Italian stadium rules. Flares, glass bottles and helmets are banned, bags are searched at the gates and large items are best left at your hotel. Stewards can also ask to compare your ticket and ID at more than one point.
Gates usually open around two hours before kick-off. Genova Brignole is the closest main-line station, and the stadium sits within walking distance in Marassi. Visiting supporters are often directed to dedicated parking and shuttle buses, with details published in the days before the match.
This is not the priciest fixture on Genoa's calendar, which gives careful buyers room to find stronger value. The habits below work best when you start looking early rather than in the final days.
Overseas buyers should choose a listing that clearly explains the name change process, since that is the step most likely to cause problems for visitors. Request seats together at the point of purchase and confirm the listing states it. Genoa's Cristoforo Colombo Airport is the nearest airport, and the city is also reachable by train from Milan, Turin and Rome.
Give yourself time on the day. The streets around Marassi fill up well before kick-off, and roads next to the stadium can be closed to traffic on match days. Walking from Brignole is the simplest option, and staying near the station makes the return journey easy once the crowd disperses.
Keep your plans flexible. Serie A usually fixes precise match days and kick-off times only a few weeks in advance, so this fixture could move within the weekend of 6 December. Book changeable flights and hotels where possible. Travellers from the Gulf should allow a full day in the city, and note that a 17:00 kick-off in Genoa is 20:00 UAE time.
Torino fans travelling from Piedmont can combine this trip with the reverse fixture at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino later in the season. Travelling supporters should follow the guest sector instructions Genoa publish before the match, which typically cover parking, shuttles and entrance gates.
This page covers Serie A meetings at the Ferraris since Genoa returned to the top flight in 2007/08. In that time the fixture has been played 15 times in Genoa, with a gap between 2009 and 2012 while Torino were in Serie B, and another in 2022/23 when Genoa spent a season in the second tier. Genoa opened the period with two 3-0 wins and have lost only four of the 15 meetings.
The balance shifted in the late 2010s. Torino won three league visits in a row between May 2018 and November 2019, and another in November 2020, before Genoa steadied the fixture again. The friendship between the fanbases has been the constant, bending after 2009 and returning in full voice at Marassi in December 2024.
Before that, Genoa had built a solid home run. From December 2012 to May 2017 they went five meetings unbeaten at the Ferraris, including the 5-1 in 2015 and a 3-2 win in March 2016. Since 2022 the fixture has been tighter, with two goalless draws before Genoa's 3-0 win in February 2026.
What makes the fixture distinctive is the mood rather than the stakes. Few Serie A matches pair a packed, historic ground with visiting fans who are welcomed by the home curve, and that combination turns a regular league date into an event. Expect scarves exchanged outside the ground, chants for both clubs before kick-off and a crowd that stays loud for the full 90 minutes. For neutral visitors, it is one of the most welcoming introductions to Italian football on the calendar.
The figures below cover all Serie A meetings at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris with Genoa as hosts, from the 2007/08 season to 2025/26.

Genoa have scored three or more goals in five of these meetings and kept six clean sheets. Torino have never won by more than one goal in this period, which says a lot about how tight their successful visits have been. For a buyer, that record points to a competitive afternoon rather than a foregone conclusion.

Yes, single-match tickets for the ordinary sectors do not require the card, but every ticket is issued in your name and you must bring valid ID.
Buy once the club sale opens if you need several seats together, as supply tightens quickly for a fixture with this atmosphere.
Visiting fans use the guest sector of around 2,000 places, entered through gates 81 to 84, with sale conditions announced before the match.
Only after the name on the ticket has been changed to the person attending, and the authorities can suspend name changes at short notice.
Most of the stadium's 33,205 seats are under cover, which helps on a December afternoon.
