Buy Inter Milan vs Bologna tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match listed for Sunday 25 April 2027 at 20:00 as Matchday 33 of Serie A at San Siro. Lega Serie A confirms exact kick-off times in batches a few weeks before each round, so the slot can still move. The date itself carries extra weight: 25 April is Liberation Day, a national holiday in Italy.

The home side are the reigning champions. Inter Milan won the 2025/26 Scudetto and the Coppa Italia, which means every league fixture at San Siro this season is played in front of a crowd expecting a title defence. A late-April date puts this one deep in the run-in, when points are counted twice and demand climbs with them.
Bologna bring their own edge. They knocked Inter out of the Supercoppa Italiana on penalties in December 2025, then lost 3-1 at San Siro a fortnight later. That mix of recent bite and a holiday weekend is why seats for this fixture tend to go earlier than the opponent's name alone might suggest.
For overseas visitors the timing is useful. A Sunday evening match on a public holiday leaves Saturday free for the city and Monday free for travel, which is why demand from abroad tends to rise for spring fixtures at San Siro.
San Siro holds around 75,800, yet Inter fill it with ease. Their 2023/24 league average was a club record 72,838. The January 2026 meeting with Bologna drew more than 74,000. Remove season ticket holders and members' allocations and the general pool for a spring Sunday shrinks fast.
Bologna's travelling support is the variable. The city sits just over an hour from Milan by train, so in a normal season a sizeable visiting crowd is expected.
For the January 2026 match, a decree from the Interior Ministry barred Bologna fans resident in the province from travelling. Inter then sold the upper blue tier to home supporters instead. Restrictions are set match by match, so a buyer following Bologna should not assume an away allocation will exist for April.
European football can also move the date. Inter are in the Champions League this season. A knockout tie in April, should they reach that stage, could push the league match to whichever day suits the television schedule.
Then there is the calendar. Matchday 33 lands with five rounds left, when the top of the table and the European places are usually still open. The reverse meeting comes first, with Bologna vs Inter Milan at the Dall'Ara on 17 October 2026. Its result often sharpens interest in the return.
Hospitality sells through in a similar pattern. The lounges in the red and orange stands are small. Many are sold by the season to companies, so only a handful of single-match packages reach open sale for a holiday fixture.
Liberation Day adds a further layer. Families who would not normally attend a league match make a day of it, while Milan itself fills with domestic tourists over the long weekend. Hotels near the city centre and the stadium price accordingly, so match tickets and rooms are worth securing together.
Yes, but not easily through the club. Inter run a layered system: season ticket holders first, then members of the Interista loyalty programme, then holders of the Siamo Noi supporter card and Inter Club members. Anything left reaches general sale late, often only through season ticket holders reselling seats they cannot use.
For the January 2026 meeting, remaining seats came almost entirely from that season ticket resale route, with any leftovers released at the stadium box offices on matchday. For a holiday Sunday in the title run-in, very little is likely to survive to that stage.
That resale window also tends to open late, often only days before the match. It favours buyers already registered with the club. Waiting for it means planning travel around a ticket you may never get, which is the main reason visitors choose the secondary market weeks in advance instead.
Italian law also ties each ticket to a named holder. Photo ID is shown with the ticket at the pre-filter gates so stewards can match the person to the seat. Any listing you buy must therefore be transferable to your name, which is a point to confirm in the seller's notes.
Membership is not a quick fix either. The Siamo Noi card is a personal supporter card linked to the holder's identity, while the Interista programme rewards attendance history built up over seasons. A one-off visitor flying in for a single match will not climb the priority ladder in time for April.
The secondary market is the route for buyers without priority status. Verified sellers on 1BoxOffice list seats across every sector, with the delivery method and any name-change requirement stated on the listing before you pay.
Five things move the price for this fixture: where the seat sits in the bowl, how strong demand is that week, how close the match is, what is at stake in the 2026/27 table and whether hospitality is included. Listings currently start at around £40, with the spread below reflecting typical resale ranges for an Inter home match of this profile.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Third ring (terzo anello), blue or red | £40 – £85 | Budget buyers, first visits | Steep climb and distant view, though the full bowl is in sight |
| Second ring curves, blue or green | £65 – £120 | Atmosphere seekers | Green curve sits beside the Curva Nord home support |
| First ring longside, red or orange | £90 – £170 | Close-to-pitch views | Front rows sit low and lose some depth of view |
| Second ring central, red or orange | £130 – £260+ | Neutrals and couples | Raised, central and usually the first to sell |
| Hospitality and VIP | £350 – £950+ | Corporate guests, special occasions | Lounge access, catering and padded seats |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The ring matters as much as the colour. A second ring seat in the red sector can cost two or three times a third ring seat directly above it, even though both look over the same halfway line. Timing plays its part too: prices for Inter home matches usually firm up once kick-off is confirmed, then rise again in the final week if the title race is tight. Hospitality moves least, since packages are priced per head and stock is small from the outset.
San Siro is read by colour before anything else. The red sector is the west main stand, orange runs along the east side, blue is the Curva Sud and green is the Curva Nord, home of Inter's organised support. Each sector has rings stacked above it. The San Siro seating plan shows how the orange side has only two rings while the other three sectors have three.
Entry changed for 2026/27. Construction for the new stadium has reorganised the area outside the ground, entrances are now assigned by section and the gate printed on your ticket is the only one you can use. On the west side, entrances 7 to 10 now work as exit gates after the final whistle.
Height changes the experience more than at most grounds. The third ring was added for the 1990 World Cup and sits on eleven cylindrical concrete towers, so its seats are steep and far from the pitch but give a complete view of tactical shape. The first ring puts you near the action, though the front rows sit below pitch level. For a first visit, the second ring is the reliable middle ground.
Supporters with disabilities have a dedicated entrance, gate 11, used for nothing else on matchday. Buyers who need a wheelchair space should arrange it with the club directly, since resale listings rarely cover accessible seating.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red sector (west main stand) | Neutrals wanting the classic broadcast angle | Mid to premium | Second ring central blocks give the strongest mix of height and closeness |
| Orange sector (east side) | Longside views at a slightly lower price | Mid to premium | Only two rings here, so second ring seats sit at the top of the stand |
| Green Curva Nord, first and second rings | Inter supporters wanting noise | Mid | Banners and standing are normal, so expect to be on your feet |
| Blue Curva Sud | Value seekers happy behind a goal | Lower to mid | Quieter than the green curve for an Inter home match |
| Third ring, red or blue | Budget buyers and groups | Lower | Long climb; arrive early as queues build on the ramps |
| Away section, green third ring | Bologna supporters | Club allocation | Reduced in capacity for 2026/27, sold through the visiting club and subject to travel restrictions; no Bologna colours elsewhere |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans are better off on a longside in the red or orange sectors, away from the curves. Families with younger children tend to prefer the second ring orange, where the view is central and the crowd is calmer than behind either goal. If you are a Bologna supporter without an allocation, buy a neutral seat and leave the scarf at home; stewards can move visiting colours out of home sections. All matchday options are listed with our San Siro tickets range.
Inter's hospitality for 2026/27 is built around the red Tribuna d'Onore and the orange side. Packages pair a reserved seat with a lounge, while the smaller products sell in single figures per match.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Tribuna d'Onore red seats with Executive Post | Corporate hosts | Central honour-stand seats with a lounge close by |
| Tribuna d'Onore red seats with Legends Post | Fans marking an occasion | Central seats with access to the Legends Post lounge |
| Orange sector seats with Betsson Lounge or Sports Pub | Groups of friends | Relaxed lounge food and drink with a longside view |
| Skylounge and Sky Box (orange) | Companies and private parties | Private space, catering, hostesses and reserved parking |
Sky Boxes are sold by the season, so single-match access usually comes through a package resold by a box holder. The Pitchside Club, launched with just 14 seats beside the touchline, has been the rarest product at the ground.
Most lounges open well before kick-off, which matters on a holiday weekend when the roads around Piazzale Axum are slow. Arriving early also avoids the longer queues the new entrance layout can create.
A hospitality package is also the simplest way to guarantee a seat for a guest who cannot be flexible on timing. Lounge tickets are issued in the buyer's name like any other, so share each guest's details at the point of booking.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile e-ticket | The ticket shows your name and assigned entrance; screenshots may be refused |
| PDF e-ticket | Print it clearly or keep the file offline; the barcode must scan at the turnstile |
| Name change | Allow time for the seller to transfer the holder name before the deadline |
| Hospitality collection | Collection point, lounge entrance and the time your package opens |
Read the listing notes before paying, since they state the delivery type and any name-change step. Bring valid photo ID that matches the name on the ticket. Charge your phone fully for mobile entry, because signal around the stadium drops when 75,000 people arrive at once.
Pack light. Large umbrellas, lighters, lasers, flares, helmets, strollers, trolleys and professional cameras are all on the stadium's prohibited list, along with unauthorised flags and banners. Only small folding umbrellas without a point are allowed if it rains. Smoking is banned inside the ground.
The outside of the ground also works differently this season. Food and drink stalls around the stadium now run on tokens, bought at payment points under white gazebos and then spent at the outlets. Visiting supporters are routed separately, with a dedicated car park on Via Airaghi and a free shuttle to the drop-off area near the north ticket office. Home and neutral fans should follow the signs to the entrance printed on their ticket rather than the nearest open gate.
Gates usually open two hours before kick-off. Metro line M5 to San Siro Stadio and tram 16 are the simplest routes; allow at least an hour from central Milan.

Overseas buyers should choose mobile or PDF delivery, which arrives by email or app and needs no postal step.

The 25 April date is listed, but Serie A rounds can shift by a day once television picks are made, so book flexible flights or a refundable hotel night either side. Milan Malpensa and Linate both serve the city, while Bologna is just over an hour away by high-speed train. Arrival by train puts you at Milano Centrale, from where the metro reaches San Siro Stadio with one change. Visitors staying longer can pair the weekend with a match at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.
The San Siro story starts in 1947/48, Inter's first season in the stadium, with a 2-1 home win on New Year's Day 1948. The early decades were close. Bologna won 3-0 there in April 1956 and again 2-0 in January 1958.
The most remarkable afternoon came in December 1961, when Inter edged a ten-goal match 6-4. Bologna went on to become champions in 1963/64, a season that included a goalless draw in Milan.
The 1970s turned the meeting into a stalemate. Between 1971/72 and 1979/80, eight of nine league visits ended as draws, every one of them 0-0 or 1-1. The exception was a 1-0 Bologna win in September 1977. The fixture then disappeared for long spells while Bologna dropped out of Serie A in the 1980s, the 1990s and the mid-2000s, which is why there are seasons missing from the record below.
The modern era has swung both ways. Bologna won 3-0 on a February night in 2012 and won 2-1 behind closed doors in July 2020, their most recent league win at the ground. Inter replied with back-to-back 6-1 victories in 2021 and 2022, the widest margins of the fixture at San Siro, before two 2-2 draws and the 3-1 win in January 2026 that sent them back to the top of the table on the way to the title.
What sets this fixture apart is its unpredictability. Inter win most of these meetings, yet Bologna have won here nine times and drawn 21, which keeps a holiday crowd honest right up to the final whistle. Recent seasons have added goals as well: each of the last six meetings here produced at least four.
Figures cover every Serie A meeting at San Siro with Inter as hosts, from 1947/48 to the end of the 2025/26 season. Inter are unbeaten in their last six home league meetings with Bologna, winning four and drawing two.

Buying soon after the league confirms the kick-off time usually gives the widest choice. Holiday fixtures in the title run-in rarely get more affordable in the final days.
Visiting fans are placed in the upper green ring, sold through Bologna when the authorities allow travel. Supporters elsewhere in the ground should not wear Bologna colours.
Yes, a valid photo ID matching the name on the ticket is required at the pre-filter gates. Without it, entry can be refused even with a valid barcode.
Yes, choose listings marked as seats together when you select your quantity. Larger groups will find more paired stock in the curves and the third ring.
Packages combine a padded seat in the red or orange sector with lounge access, food and drinks. Higher tiers add private space and dedicated service staff.
