Buy Lazio vs AS Roma tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Serie A fixture set for Sunday 13 December 2026 and kick-off currently listed at 20:00. The venue is the Stadio Olimpico, the 70,000-seat bowl in the Foro Italico that both clubs call home. This is the Derby della Capitale, the match that stops Rome twice a season.

Lazio are the designated home side, which shapes everything from the colours in the ends to where the noise comes from. The Curva Nord belongs to the Lazio ultras and the Curva Sud to Roma's and on derby day both are full hours before kick-off. Anyone following Lazio this season has this date circled.
Recent derbies at this ground with Lazio as hosts have gone their way more often than not. They have lost only one of the last eight, a record that gives the home crowd something to hold on to. Serie A confirms kick-off times a few weeks before each round, so the listed time can still move.
Demand for this fixture has nothing to do with league position. The derby divides families, workplaces and whole neighbourhoods in Rome and both clubs sell out their allocation whatever the season has brought so far. A ground of 70,000 could be filled several times over.
Both sets of supporters are at home here, which is what makes the atmosphere different from a normal away day. Supporters of AS Roma fill the Curva Sud rather than a small away corner, so the ground splits down the middle and the choreography in both ends is planned for weeks.
Season ticket holders take most of the ground before general sale. Both clubs run large season ticket bases and the derby is included in them, so the seats reaching open sale are limited and the sections that remain are usually the more expensive ones.
The December timing adds a further layer. A Sunday evening kick-off before Christmas suits a city audience and brings a national television slot and results in the derby shape the mood in Rome for weeks afterwards. Nobody treats this as a routine fixture.
For buyers, that means one thing above all. This is not a match to leave until the final week and groups in particular should secure seats as soon as the fixture is confirmed rather than hoping for late listings.
There is also the city itself. Rome fills with visitors in December and a derby weekend gives football travellers a reason to build a trip around a single evening. Hotels near the centre book up early when the fixture lands on a Sunday, which is another reason to settle the ticket first and the travel second.
It is possible, but the club route is tight. Lazio sell derby tickets to season ticket holders first, then to registered supporters in priority order and general sale often opens with very little left. For a fixture of this size the windows close within hours.
Italian tickets are issued in the holder's name, so the details you give at the time of purchase matter. Bring photo identification that matches the name on the ticket, as stewards can ask for it at the turnstiles and again inside the ground.
Restrictions can apply to residents of the visiting club's province for some Italian fixtures and for a derby the authorities pay close attention to how tickets are distributed. Read the listing notes carefully, since they set out any condition attached to a particular seat.
A verified resale marketplace is the practical route for most visitors. You can pick the area you want, see the price up front and buy without holding a club card or waiting for a sale window in Italian time. For overseas fans it is usually the only realistic way into a derby.
Groups benefit most. Club sales cap the number of tickets per account, which makes it hard to seat four or six people together in a match where sections sell out individually. Marketplace listings show how many seats sit side by side, so a group can plan properly.
Timing on the resale route matters as well. Listings tend to appear in waves, first when the fixture date is confirmed and again once season ticket holders know they cannot attend. Watching the market across a few weeks usually beats buying in a rush on the final weekend.
Five things shape the price for this match. Seat location comes first, with the central blocks of the Tribuna Monte Mario at the top of the range. Demand follows and the derby sits at the very top of both clubs' home calendars.
Timing matters as well: prices move as the 2026/27 season unfolds and the kick-off time is confirmed. Competition context counts, because a derby outranks a standard league fixture and even most European nights, such as the Champions League matches AS Roma vs Real Madrid at the same ground. Finally, the hospitality tier you choose sets its own bracket.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva | £70 – £140 | Fans who want the full derby atmosphere | Behind the goals with the ultras; colours are strictly enforced |
| Distinti | £90 – £170 | Buyers who want noise without the curva | Corner sections linking the ends to the sides |
| Tribuna Tevere | £120 – £230 | Neutrals who want a side-on view | The long side opposite the main stand |
| Tribuna Monte Mario, central | £190 – £380+ | Buyers who want the clearest view | Covered main stand near the halfway line; supply is thin |
| Hospitality / VIP | £400 – £900+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Catering and lounge access with a premium seat; derby packages sell early |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Derby pricing sits well above a standard Serie A afternoon at the same stadium. That gap reflects how little reaches the open market rather than any difference in what the ticket gets you on the day.
The Olimpico is a great open bowl in the Foro Italico, covered by the translucent roof added for the 1990 World Cup. The Stadio Olimpico seating plan shows how the curve, the distinti and the two tribune fit together.
For the wider matchday picture, from the history of the ground to getting there on the day, see our guide to the Stadio Olimpico. It pairs well with the seat advice below.
The Tribuna Monte Mario is the main stand, covered and closest to the halfway line, with the Tribuna Tevere facing it across the pitch. The Curva Nord and Curva Sud sit behind the goals and the distinti sections fill the corners between them. For this fixture the Lazio support fills the north end and the Roma support the south.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribuna Monte Mario, central | Buyers who want a covered central view | Upper | Near the halfway line; the smallest supply in the ground |
| Tribuna Monte Mario, lateral | Couples and business guests | Middle to upper | Covered seating with an angled view towards the corners |
| Tribuna Tevere | Neutrals who want a side-on view | Middle | Faces the main stand; a sound balance of price and position |
| Curva Nord | Lazio supporters who want the ultras' end | Lower to middle | Flags, banners and singing throughout; Lazio colours only |
| Curva Sud | Roma supporters | Lower to middle | The Roma end for this fixture; Roma colours only |
| Distinti | Groups and budget buyers | Lower to middle | Corner sections, closer to the curve than the sides in feel |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should aim for the Tribuna Tevere or the lateral Monte Mario. Both keep you away from the colours question that comes with the ends and both give a fair view of a match where the crowd is half the spectacle. Buying into the wrong curva for your colours is the mistake to avoid here.
The running track is the thing first-time visitors notice. It pushes the front rows further from the pitch than at a purpose-built football ground, so a seat higher up in the same section often gives a better view than one near the front. That applies across the stadium.
December evenings in Rome are mild by northern European standards but can turn cold and damp after dark. The roof covers much of the seating, though wind still reaches the lower rows, so bring a jacket whichever section you choose.
Accessible places are allocated separately from standard seats. If you or a member of your group needs one, confirm with the listing notes before paying that the seat suits your needs, including space for a companion.
One point specific to this fixture: the two ends are not interchangeable. Each curva belongs to one set of supporters all season, whichever club is designated at home, so buy the end that matches your colours or stay on the sides. Getting this wrong is the most common mistake visitors make at the Olimpico.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seat package | Couples and small groups | A central main stand seat with lounge access before the match |
| VIP lounge | Corporate guests | Catering and drinks indoors with a reserved seat outside |
| Private box | Client entertaining and celebrations | A self-contained space for a group with its own service |
| Derby experience package | Visitors marking a special occasion | Hospitality built around the standout fixtures of the season |
Hospitality at the Olimpico is arranged by the home club for each match and the premium areas sit in and around the Tribuna Monte Mario. Inclusions vary between packages, so confirm what food, drink and parking are covered before you commit.
For a derby, hospitality has a practical upside beyond the comfort. You spend the build-up indoors rather than in the queues that build around the Foro Italico and you reach your seat in time for the choreography that both ends prepare. For a match this hard to attend, it can also be a surer route in.
Derby packages are the first to sell in most seasons. If hospitality is the plan, allow considerably more lead time than you would for a standard fixture.
Hospitality guests should note the earlier arrival time. Most packages open a couple of hours before kick-off with a set dining window and on derby night the roads around the Foro Italico slow to a crawl, so leaving the centre early is the difference between a relaxed meal and a rushed one.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| E-ticket (PDF) | That the name on the ticket matches the photo ID you will carry |
| Mobile ticket | That the transfer opens on your phone and shows in the correct app before matchday |
| Paper ticket by courier | That your delivery address is correct and someone can sign for the envelope |
| Collection in Rome | The meeting point, collection window and contact details in your order confirmation |
Read the listing notes before you pay, since they show the delivery method and any restriction on the seat. Italian tickets carry the holder's name, so bring a passport or photo ID card that matches it and charge your phone fully if you are using a mobile ticket.
Tickets for Serie A matches are often released to sellers close to matchday, so do not worry if yours arrive in the final week. Your order stays covered throughout and the delivery timeline appears in your confirmation email.
The stadium sits in the north of the city and is not directly on the metro. The usual route is Metro Line A to Flaminio, then the number 2 tram to Piazza Mancini and a walk across the river, with buses also running to the Foro Italico. Parking near the ground is limited and fills early.
Expect heavy security for this fixture. Bag rules are strict, with large bags and rucksacks refused and no guarantee of a bag store and segregation around the ground begins well outside the turnstiles. Arrive early and follow the route printed on your ticket rather than walking around the stadium.
Plan the hours before kick-off too. The Foro Italico has little in the way of bars and restaurants compared with a city-centre ground, so most supporters eat in the centre and travel out together. Aim to be at your turnstile at least an hour before a derby rather than the usual half hour.

Value is not only about the lowest number on the screen. For a derby, a seat in the right section for your colours matters more than saving twenty pounds and a group that sits together gets more from the night than one split across the bowl. Set a budget first, then pick the area that fits it.
Be realistic about what a derby costs too. Prices here start well above a standard Serie A fixture at the same ground, so a plan built around midtable pricing will not survive contact with this match.
Consider who is travelling with you as well. A first-time visitor will take more from a seat on one of the sides, where the view takes in both ends and the displays they produce, while a committed supporter will want to be inside a curva for the full ninety minutes. Match the section to the person rather than to the price alone.
Overseas buyers have plenty of choice on delivery. E-tickets and mobile transfers suit anyone flying in the day before, while courier delivery works best if you have a fixed home address and time to spare. Fiumicino and Ciampino both connect to the centre easily and Rome is served by flights from across Europe and the Gulf.
Seats together are easier to secure early, so groups should not wait for the last week. Keep your travel plans flexible where you can, as Serie A fixtures can move by a day once television slots are fixed. Refundable hotel rates and later flight booking reduce that risk.
Rome rewards a longer stay and a December trip avoids the summer crowds at the major sites. If you are planning a second visit, the return derby, AS Roma vs Lazio, falls later in the season at the same stadium with the designated home side reversed.
Plan the journey back before kick-off. An evening derby finishes late, the crowd leaves the Foro Italico through a small number of routes and public transport is busy for a good while afterwards. Many supporters walk back towards Flaminio rather than waiting for the first tram.
The Derby della Capitale is one of the oldest and most charged fixtures in European football, played between two clubs from the same city that have shared a stadium since the 1950s. More than 160 league meetings have been played and the overall record slightly favours Roma, though draws are more common in this fixture than in most derbies.
Recent years at this ground with Lazio as hosts have told a different story. Lazio won 3-0 in March 2019 and again 3-0 in January 2021, then took a 3-2 win in September 2021 and a 1-0 win in March 2023. For a fixture in which the away side has often had the better of the overall record, that is a striking run.
The visitors have found it harder here lately. Roma's only win in the last eight Lazio-hosted league derbies came in September 2025, a 1-0 result settled by a single goal, with the other meetings ending level or in home wins. That is the record both sets of supporters bring into December.
What makes this fixture distinctive is that the form book carries almost no weight. Both clubs have finished above the other in recent seasons without it changing how the derby goes and the crowd rather than the table tends to set the tone. For a buyer, that means an evening where the football is only part of what you are paying for.
The ground itself is central to the occasion. The Olimpico has staged a European Championship final, World Cup matches and Champions League finals and on derby night the two ends turn it into something closer to a theatre than a stadium.
The shared stadium is what makes this derby unusual in European football. Both clubs pay rent on the same ground, both fill it and the only thing that changes between the two meetings each season is which club is listed as the home side. That arrangement has kept the rivalry unusually close-quartered for more than seventy years.
The table below covers Serie A derbies at the Stadio Olimpico with Lazio as the designated home side since 2018/19. Earlier meetings run back decades and fall outside this modern-era record.
