The Olimpico holds around 70,000 and sits beneath Monte Mario on the banks of the Tiber, a short tram ride from Piazza del Popolo. Season ticket holders of Lazio fill the Curva Nord and much of the Distinti, and a spring evening fixture brings in Romans, tourists and neutral fans alike.
This guide covers what seats cost, where to sit, how Italian named tickets and entry rules work and how every Serie A meeting between these clubs at the Olimpico has played out. Everything here is built to help you choose the right seat and walk in without surprises.
The setting is the draw. A Sunday evening game at the Olimpico in May is one of the classic experiences of Italian football, and visitors to Rome often plan a trip around exactly this kind of fixture. Unlike the derby or a meeting with one of the giants, tickets for this game are attainable, which makes it a natural choice for first-time visitors.
Sassuolo bring a reputation for attacking football. The club from Emilia-Romagna returned to Serie A for 2025/26 after a single season in Serie B, and their meetings with Lazio at the Olimpico have rarely been dull. The visiting following is small, which leaves more of the ground to home supporters and neutrals.
Timing matters too. Early May is when Lazio's season is decided, whether that means chasing a European place or securing a strong finish, and the Curva Nord responds to those stakes. Serie A confirms exact kick-off times in rolling blocks, and demand tends to sharpen once the slot is fixed.
The weather helps as well. Rome in May is warm and settled, and an evening kick-off means the heat of the day has passed by the time the teams walk out. Many visitors combine the match with a long weekend in the city, which adds steady overseas demand to the local market.
Lazio's own history gives every home game weight. The club won the Scudetto in 1974 and again in 2000, and has lifted the Coppa Italia seven times, most recently in 2019. The Curva Nord carries that heritage with pride, and its choreography before kick-off is one of the sights of Roman football.
For buyers outside Italy, the message is simple. Central seats and the better-placed sectors of the Tevere go first, so securing seats early gives you more choice and a much better chance of sitting together.
Yes. Lazio serve season ticket holders first and then release single-match tickets through the club's ticketing partners. For a fixture against Sassuolo, there is usually some availability on general sale, although the better central seats and the Curva Nord can be harder to find.
Italian tickets are personal. Each one carries the holder's name and is tied to a specific sector and seat, and a valid photo ID is required at the turnstile. Where a seat changes hands, the ticket is reissued or reassigned to the new holder through the ticketing platform's change-of-name process, which reputable sellers complete before matchday.
Sassuolo supporters buy through their own club for the visiting sector, and Italian authorities can apply restrictions on away sales, such as requiring the supporter card or limiting sales to residents of the visiting club's region. Ticket offices for the visiting sector are generally closed on matchday, so visiting fans should not travel without a ticket.
That is where a marketplace comes in. You do not need a Lazio membership or a purchase history with either club to buy through 1BoxOffice. Sellers list seats, the listing explains how the ticket will be issued in your name and you choose the sector you want at a price you can see before paying.
One rule matters on the day. Italian grounds enforce strict segregation, so if you support Sassuolo and buy in a home sector, keep colours out of sight. Stewards can move or remove supporters who celebrate in the wrong area, whatever the source of the ticket.
Returned seats sometimes appear close to matchday through the club's channels, but they are unpredictable and rarely in the sectors visitors want most. If you need certainty for travel plans, buying in advance is the safer route.
Five factors move the price for this fixture in the 2026/27 season: seat location, overall demand, how close you buy to the match, what Lazio have riding on the run-in and whether you want a premium or hospitality seat. This is one of the more accessible fixtures on the Olimpico calendar, and listings currently start at around £26.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Nord | £25 – £45 | Atmosphere seekers on a budget | The home end; standing and singing throughout |
| Distinti | £35 – £60 | Value hunters and small groups | Corner sectors between the curve and the long stands |
| Tribuna Tevere | £50 – £90 | Neutral buyers and first-time visitors | Long stand facing the main stand, with a full view of play |
| Tribuna Monte Mario | £80 – £150+ | Couples and special occasions | Main stand, closest to the tunnel and benches |
| Hospitality / VIP | £150 – £350+ | Corporate guests and groups | Lounge access with dining in the Monte Mario; inclusions vary |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Price movement for a late-season fixture follows a familiar pattern. Listings appear once the calendar is published, settle through the winter, then firm up when Serie A fixes the date and kick-off. If Lazio are chasing Europe in the final weeks, expect the final fortnight to carry a premium.
Where you sit matters at the Olimpico. The stadium has an athletics track, so the lower rows of the curve ends sit some distance from play. Seats higher up in the Tevere or Monte Mario often give a better view than lower seats further round, for a similar price.
The Olimpico is a large oval bowl with a roof covering most of the seats. The Stadio Olimpico seating plan shows the Tribuna Monte Mario as the main stand, the Tribuna Tevere opposite, the Distinti sectors in the corners and the Curva Nord and Curva Sud behind the goals.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Nord | Home supporters who want noise | Lower | Lazio's end; flags, choreography and standing for 90 minutes |
| Curva Sud | Fans wanting a goal-end view | Lower | The opposite end; atmosphere for Lazio games is concentrated in the Curva Nord |
| Distinti | Value hunters and small groups | Lower to mid | Angled view between the curve and the long stands |
| Tribuna Tevere | Neutral buyers and families | Mid | Long stand on the river side with a full view of the pitch |
| Tribuna Monte Mario | Premium buyers and corporate guests | Upper | Main stand with the tunnel, benches and hospitality areas |
| Visiting sector | Sassuolo supporters only | Club-set price | Segregated sector sold through Sassuolo's own ticketing, with sales closing before matchday |
Neutral fans and undecided buyers should aim for the Tribuna Tevere, ideally in the central sectors. You get a full view without being surrounded by the most vocal home support, and the price is well below the Monte Mario. If you are comparing areas across the Stadio Olimpico, favour listings with clear sector, row and seat details over vague descriptions.
The Curva Nord suits a different buyer. It is home to Lazio's organised supporter groups, and a seat there puts you inside the choreography and the noise. It is not the right choice for young children or for anyone who wants to sit down for the whole match.
Supporters with access needs should contact the seller before buying, since accessible spaces and companion places are allocated through the club. Get any arrangement confirmed in writing before matchday.
The roof is worth considering on a warm May evening. Most seats at the Olimpico are covered, which keeps the stands comfortable if the weather turns, but the very front rows of the lower tiers can be exposed. Mid-height seats in the Tevere or Monte Mario combine shelter with a clear view.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Monte Mario premium seats | Couples and visiting neutrals | Central main-stand view close to the tunnel |
| Lounge packages | Business guests and celebrations | Pre-match dining with padded central seats |
| Marketplace hospitality listings | Buyers wanting food and drink included | Inclusions written into the listing before you pay |
| Group bookings | Friends and company outings | Seats together in one sector, arranged in advance |
Premium options at the Olimpico centre on the Tribuna Monte Mario, the main stand with the tunnel, the benches and the corporate lounges. For an evening fixture like this, a lounge package turns the match into a full night out without leaving the stadium.
When a listing includes extras such as dining, drinks or parking, those inclusions are set out in the listing itself. Read them carefully, compare the package against a central Monte Mario seat and only pay the premium if the extras matter to your day. In a city with Rome's restaurants, a long dinner before kick-off is often the better upgrade.
Hospitality also suits visitors who want certainty. Packages come with clearly defined seats, food and drink, so there are fewer decisions to make on the night, and the Monte Mario's central position means the view of both the pitch and the Curva Nord is excellent.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile or e-ticket (PDF) | The name on the ticket matches your ID and the file opens on your phone before you travel |
| Change of name to you | The seller has completed the reassignment in good time before matchday |
| Paper ticket | Delivery address and timing, with tracking for overseas orders |
| Local hand delivery | Meeting point, time and contact details, all confirmed through your order |
Read the listing notes before you buy, since they set out how your ticket will be issued and delivered. Bring an original passport or national identity card that matches the name on the ticket, since photocopies are not accepted, and charge your phone fully if you are using mobile entry.
The Olimpico sits in the Foro Italico sports complex north of the centre. Tram 2 runs from Piazzale Flaminio, at the end of Metro line A, to the stadium area, and buses link it with the Vatican side of the city. Walking from Piazza del Popolo along the river takes around 40 minutes and is a popular route on a warm evening.
Security is thorough. Expect several security cordons and a body search before the turnstiles, leave large bags at your hotel and arrive at least an hour before kick-off. Pyrotechnics, glass and alcohol are refused at entry.
Food and drink inside the stadium are basic, so many supporters eat in the Flaminio and Prati districts beforehand. Bars around Ponte Milvio, a short walk from the ground, are a popular meeting point for Lazio fans before evening kick-offs.
Getting back after a late kick-off needs a plan. Trams and buses run after the final whistle but fill quickly, and taxis are scarce around the Foro Italico. Many visitors walk back towards Flaminio and pick up transport there.
Italian clubs often issue or reassign named tickets close to matchday rather than weeks in advance. A ticket that has not arrived ten days before the game is usually normal, not a warning sign. The listing notes and your order updates will tell you when to expect it, and customer support can step in if anything slips.
1BoxOffice has run a verified ticket marketplace since 2006, and every order carries a 150% money-back guarantee, so here is how to get from browsing to sitting down at the Olimpico.

Value at the Olimpico is about choosing the right sector rather than chasing the lowest price. These habits help.
Rome Fiumicino has direct flights from across the UK and Europe, with Ciampino serving several low-cost routes, and the Leonardo Express train reaches Roma Termini in around half an hour. Mobile and e-ticket delivery suit international buyers best, since the ticket travels with you and there is no need to meet anyone on arrival. If you are travelling as a group, filter for listings that guarantee seats together before you buy.
Serie A dates and kick-off times can still move once broadcasters finalise the schedule, so book flexible flights and refundable hotels where possible and avoid flying in on the morning of the match. A Sunday evening kick-off also means a late finish, so plan to stay overnight rather than catch a last flight home.
Prices on 1BoxOffice are shown in pounds sterling, so UK buyers know the full cost before paying, while buyers from elsewhere should expect their card provider to apply its own exchange rate. Keep your order confirmation and the seller's delivery notes on your phone; if plans change or the fixture moves, that is the record customer support will work from.
Turning the match into a weekend is the easy part. Rome's historic centre is a short tram or bus ride from the stadium, and early May brings warm, long days ideal for sightseeing before an evening kick-off. Staying near Flaminio or Prati keeps you close to both the stadium and the Vatican.
The Foro Italico itself is worth seeing before the match. The marble statues of the Stadio dei Marmi stand next to the Olimpico, and the riverside approach along the Tiber offers one of the most striking walks to any stadium in Europe. Arriving early lets you take it in without rushing through the security cordons.
Lazio and Sassuolo first met in Serie A in the 2013/14 season, after Sassuolo reached the top flight for the first time in their history. The early meetings at the Olimpico set the tone: back-to-back 3-2 Lazio wins in February 2014 and October 2014, both open, end-to-end games that underlined Sassuolo's willingness to attack anyone.
Sassuolo have also taken memorable results in Rome. They won 2-0 at the Olimpico in February 2016 and 2-1 in July 2020, the latter during the summer restart of the season, while a 2-2 draw in April 2019 showed again how hard they can be to put away. Lazio's 6-1 win in October 2017 remains the standout result for the home side.
The fixture's appeal lies in that unpredictability. Lazio have the larger crowd, the bigger history and the stronger home record, but Sassuolo's attacking style has produced goals in almost every meeting at the Olimpico.
Sassuolo's rise is one of the more remarkable stories in modern Italian football. A club from a town of around 40,000 people reached Serie A for the first time in 2013, qualified for the Europa League group stage in 2016 and built a reputation for developing technical, attacking players. Their visits to Rome have reflected that ambition from the very first meeting.
With the reverse fixture, Sassuolo vs Lazio, set for the Mapei Stadium in late October, the May meeting in Rome will close the season series between the clubs.

Source: Serie A results cross-referenced between StatMuse and the season-by-season Serie A results tables. Sassuolo have scored in eleven of the twelve meetings here, and nine of the twelve have produced at least three goals, so an open game is far more likely than a goalless one.
Lazio's record is strong but rarely comfortable. Six of their eight wins at the Olimpico in this fixture have come by a single goal, and Sassuolo have scored at least once in every meeting except the 2-0 in May 2023.
The split across the two halves of the fixture's history is close. Lazio won four of the first six home meetings with Sassuolo and four of the six since, with the visitors' wins coming in 2016 and in the unusual circumstances of July 2020, when the season resumed behind closed doors. Since then, Lazio have not lost to Sassuolo at the Olimpico.

No. Buying through a marketplace does not require a supporter card, though you will need photo ID in the name on the ticket.
Not yet. Serie A fixes final kick-off times a few weeks ahead, so book travel you can adjust and keep an eye on the club announcements.
In a segregated visiting sector sold through Sassuolo's own ticketing. Neroverdi colours should stay out of home sectors.
The central Tribuna Tevere, which gives a full view of the pitch and of the Curva Nord's choreography at a fair price.
Only if the listing says so. Filter for seats together before buying, as larger groups are harder to place in central sectors.
