Buy Napoli vs AS Roma tickets for the 2026/27 Season and you are buying the fixture Serie A treats most carefully. Kick-off is 18:00 local time on Saturday 24 October 2026 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, which is 17:00 in the UK, and this is Matchday 8. Roma have not won in Naples since March 2018.

The ground takes 54,726 for a league fixture and Napoli filled an average of 48,460 of those seats last season, a figure that placed them fourth in Italy for attendance. That is a large stadium and a large crowd, and it still does not make this an easy ticket. Anyone weighing up Napoli tickets for the marquee home dates finds abbonamento holders seated first and a public sale that clears quickly.
There is a second thing you need to know before you spend anything, and it is unusual enough that it belongs in the opening paragraphs rather than buried further down. Italian authorities have restricted away ticket sales for this specific fixture in five of its recent editions, sometimes closing the visiting sector entirely and sometimes barring sales to anyone resident in Lazio. Read the access section below before you buy.
Demand is only half the story. The other half is public order, and this fixture has a documented history of it. After clashes between the two sets of supporters on the A1 motorway near Arezzo in January 2023, the visiting sector at the Maradona was closed for the meeting later that month, and restrictions have followed in most editions since.
That reshapes the market in a way few fixtures do. AS Roma tickets for this trip normally run through the visiting club into a settore ospiti of 2,482 seats reached through Varco 26, but when a determination limits or closes that block, the supply that would have gone to travelling supporters does not simply reappear elsewhere. It disappears.
Then add the ordinary reasons this match sells. Both clubs are in the Champions League league phase this season, which raises the profile of every domestic fixture around it and stretches two squads across a Thursday-to-Sunday calendar. Naples in late October is warm enough for a weekend break, the ground is one of the sights of Italian football in its own right, and the neutral and tourist share of the crowd is high.
The record itself does the rest. Nineteen league meetings at this ground since Napoli came back up in 2007 have produced eight home wins, six draws and five for the visitors, and the last of those five was in March 2018. Roma have taken four points from the eight matches since. That is a run one side wants to end and the other wants to extend, and Neapolitan crowds do not treat it lightly.
Yes for most buyers, and the answer for some depends on where they live. Take the ordinary route first. Napoli sell season tickets across the curve, the Distinti and the Tribune before the campaign starts, then open single-match sales on what remains. For a fixture of this size the remainder is small and it moves fast.
Now the part that matters more. For this fixture Italian authorities have repeatedly issued restrictions.
In March 2018 the away sector was not put on sale at all and the Naples Prefect barred ticket sales to residents of Lazio. In January 2023 the away sector was closed following the motorway clashes. In April 2024, November 2024 and February 2026 sales were again barred to Lazio residents, with the visiting allocation limited to Roma supporters resident outside the region.
A determination for October 2026 will be issued in the weeks before the match, and it applies to the buyer rather than to the seller. If a restriction is in force it holds regardless of where a ticket was purchased, so anyone whose residency might place them inside it should confirm their position before spending money rather than after. That is not a caveat most versus pages will give you, and it is the single most useful thing to know about this fixture.
For everyone else, a verified marketplace is the practical route. 1BoxOffice lists seats released by abbonamento holders across the Curve, the Distinti and the Tribune, with the sector shown on the listing before you commit. No Tessera, no Italian address and no purchase history, which matters at a ground where the club's own sale closes early.
Five things move the price. Fixture status leads, because this is one of three or four dates Napoli supporters plan their season around and the market prices it accordingly. Sector is second, and the spread at this ground is wide: the curve and the Tribuna Posillipo are different products at different ends of the scale.
Timing is third, and an 18:00 Saturday suits both a domestic day out and a weekend break from abroad. Competition context is fourth: a marquee league fixture prices above a routine one and, at this ground this season, alongside Champions League nights. Hospitality is fifth and moves on a curve of its own.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva A or Curva B | £130 – £190 | Atmosphere and the lowest entry point | The two ends and the loudest parts of the ground. Upper rows see far more of the pitch than the lower ones |
| Distinti superiori | £150 – £230 | The strongest all-round compromise | Opposite the main stand and high enough to clear the running track. The squarest view in the ground for the money |
| Distinti inferiori | £190 – £290 | Buyers who want to be nearer the pitch | Closer than the upper ring but flatter, and the track sits between you and the touchline |
| Tribuna Nisida | £250 – £380 | Comfort without the main stand premium | Sits between the Curva B end and the central grandstand. Avoid the blocks against the glass barrier towards the Posillipo |
| Tribuna Posillipo and hospitality | £350 – £750+ | Halfway-line buyers, groups and corporate | The main stand and the premium product. Central blocks are the smallest inventory on this page |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
One structural fact governs everything here: the Maradona has a running track. It is a converted athletics bowl and every seat sits further from the touchline than it would at a purpose-built football ground. The third ring is closed to the public, so what you are choosing between is the lower and middle rings across five named areas.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva A and Curva B | Supporters who came for the noise | Lowest | The two ends, with the organised support traditionally in the Curva B. Take the upper rows: the lower ones sit behind the track and see very little of the far half |
| Distinti superiori | Watching the game properly | Mid | The side opposite the main stand, high enough that the track stops mattering. The pick for most first-time visitors to this ground |
| Distinti inferiori | Buyers who value closeness over elevation | Mid to upper-mid | Nearer the pitch but a flatter angle, and the track is directly in front of you. Better for atmosphere than for reading the play |
| Tribuna Nisida | A quieter seat with a strong view | Upper-mid | Between the Curva B and the central grandstand. Blocks close to the glass partition towards the Posillipo have an obstruction, so read the listing carefully |
| Tribuna Posillipo | The halfway line, comfort and hospitality | Highest | The main stand. The central blocks are the position everyone wants and rarely reach open sale. Blocks at the far end sit alongside the visiting sector |
| Settore Ospiti | Roma's allocated travelling support, when it is sold | Set by the visiting club | 2,482 seats at the south-west corner, entered at Varco 26 and adjacent to the far end of the Tribuna Posillipo. Subject to the restrictions described above |
If you want one recommendation, take the upper Distinti. It faces the pitch squarely and it clears the track, for less than either Tribuna costs. It also puts you among home supporters without the intensity of the curve. Families should look instead at the Tribuna Family below the Nisida, which is priced for children but requires proof of family status at the point of purchase.
Segregation and colours are policed strictly in Naples, more strictly for this fixture than for any other on the calendar. Roma shirts, scarves and colours anywhere outside the visiting sector will be stopped, and that applies on the approach roads and the metro as much as at the turnstiles.
Napoli have expanded their premium offering in recent seasons, adding Premium products in both the Distinti and the Tribuna Posillipo alongside the traditional hospitality areas. For a fixture of this profile the premium inventory sells alongside general admission rather than after it, so treating it as the late fallback rarely works here.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Tribuna Posillipo Premium | Corporate groups and buyers who want the halfway line | Central main stand seating with lounge access, in the part of the ground that reaches open sale least often |
| Distinti Premium | Buyers who want comfort and the square view | Upgraded seating on the side with the cleanest sightline, at a lower outlay than the main stand equivalent |
| Lounge package with dining | Couples and small groups marking an occasion | Catering either side of kick-off and an indoor base, which on a Saturday evening in Fuorigrotta is worth having |
| Matchday package through a verified seller | International visitors buying late | A bundled seat and lounge entry once the club's own premium inventory has gone |
Read the inclusions line by line before committing. At this ground the difference between two premium products can be the sector rather than the catering, and a Distinti Premium seat and a Posillipo Premium seat are genuinely different views of the same match.
Arrival timing is worth planning. The stadium sits in Fuorigrotta, west of the centre, and both metro lines that serve it fill early on a big matchday. Hospitality entrances open ahead of the general gates, which on a night when 50,000 people are converging on the same two stations is more valuable than an extra course.
Italian ticketing is digital and, for fixtures like this one, frequently name-bound. That is the detail that catches out visiting buyers more than any other, so read the delivery type on the listing against your travel plan rather than assuming.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Named ticket requiring holder details | Serie A fixtures of this profile routinely print a name on the ticket. Confirm whose name goes on it at the point of purchase and carry matching identification on the day |
| Mobile ticket | The ticket loads in an app or a phone wallet. Make sure the email and phone number on your order are right, and load it before you reach Fuorigrotta rather than in the queue |
| Electronic ticket (PDF or QR) | Download it before you travel and keep an offline copy. A photograph of a refreshing code will not scan at the turnstile |
| Collection in Naples | Note the collection point, its hours and the identification required. Build it into the day before the match where the option exists |
Read the listing notes in full whatever the format. They carry the details that decide your evening: whether the seats are together, which sector and varco the block sits in, whether the ticket is name-bound and whose name it carries. Bring your passport rather than a driving licence, because identification is verified more rigorously for this fixture than for a routine league game.
Getting there is straightforward if you use the trains. The Campi Flegrei station on Line 2 and the Mostra station on the Cumana line both sit within a short walk of the ground, and both run frequently from the centre and from Napoli Centrale. Driving into Fuorigrotta on a matchday is the slow option and parking near the stadium is limited, so the metro is the sensible route.
1BoxOffice has run as a verified marketplace since 2006 and every order carries a 150% money-back guarantee, so the sequence below is the whole process.
Step1
Confirm your eligibility, then open the fixture
Before anything else, make sure no residency restriction applies to you for this match. Then go to the listing for 24 October 2026 and set your ceiling per person.
Step2
Set up your account first
You can create an account in under a minute. Doing it before you pick seats stops the purchase stalling while a small pool of inventory moves.
Step3
Choose your sector
Distinti superiori for the view, Curva for the noise, Tribuna Nisida for a quieter seat, Tribuna Posillipo for the halfway line. The sector decides your varco as well as your seat.
Step4
Read the listing notes properly
Seats together, sector, obstruction warnings, whether the ticket carries a name and the delivery method all live in the notes. Two listings at the same price are frequently not the same product.
Step5
Fix your quantity before you proceed
Split rules apply to some listings, so a pair may not come out of a block of three. Set the number first and let it filter what you see.
Step6
Complete the secure payment
Enter your details on the encrypted payment page. Give the exact names as they appear on the passports your group will carry, because this fixture is one where a ticket is very likely to be name-bound.
Step7
Save your confirmation
The confirmation email holds your order reference and the delivery method. Keep it available offline, along with a saved copy of the ticket once it arrives.
Step8
Follow the order through to delivery
Use track order to see where your tickets are at any stage. Raise anything that looks wrong in the week of the match rather than at the varco.
Overseas buyers should settle two things before booking anything. First, whether any residency restriction applies to them for this fixture. Second, who is actually travelling, because a name-bound Italian ticket needs those details at the point of purchase rather than at the gate. Where collection in Naples is the only option, treat the Friday as your collection day and keep the Saturday clear.
Naples is well connected and easy to reach. Capodichino airport sits close to the city with routes across Europe and direct connections from the Gulf, and Napoli Centrale puts Rome around an hour away by high-speed train, which makes a two-city weekend simple. An 18:00 Saturday finishes by about 19:45 and leaves the evening intact. Buyers watching from the Gulf should note that 18:00 in Naples is 20:00 in the UAE, a comfortable evening slot, though the fixture is one to buy early rather than late whichever time zone you are in.
The modern record at this ground starts in March 2008, Napoli's first season back in Serie A after six years away, and it started badly for them: Roma won 2-0, then 3-0 the following January. For the first stretch of the run the visitors held the upper hand, taking three wins from the first five meetings and scoring three or more in two of them.
The balance shifted in stages. Napoli won 4-1 in January 2013 and then began stringing together the results that define the fixture now. Roma's 4-2 win on 3 March 2018 remains the highest-scoring meeting of the nineteen and it also remains their last victory in Naples. In the eight matches since, Napoli have won four and drawn four, including a 4-0 behind closed doors in November 2020 and a 1-0 in November 2024.
What gives October's fixture its shape is the tension between an unbeaten home run and a record that used to look very different. Roma took three of the first five here and none of the last eight. Nineteen meetings have produced thirty Napoli goals to twenty-six, which is close, yet the recent pattern is not close at all. Both clubs are also carrying a Champions League campaign for the first time in several seasons, which puts a Saturday evening in October in the middle of a fixture list neither side can rotate freely around.

Scores shown with Napoli first. Every result cross-referenced against two independent match records.
There have been in five recent editions, ranging from closure of the visiting sector to a ban on sales to residents of Lazio. A determination for this fixture is issued in the weeks beforehand, so confirm your own eligibility before you buy.
The upper Distinti, because it faces the pitch squarely and sits high enough to clear the running track. The Tribuna Posillipo is more comfortable and more expensive, not necessarily a better view.
At the south-west corner of the ground, entered at Varco 26 and holding 2,482 when it is sold in full. Visiting colours are permitted there only and Naples polices that rule firmly on this fixture.
Very probably. High-profile Serie A fixtures are routinely name-bound, so give the exact names on the passports your group will carry at the point of purchase and bring those passports on the day.
By train to Fuorigrotta. Campi Flegrei on Line 2 and Mostra on the Cumana line are both a short walk from the ground and both run frequently from the centre. Driving and parking nearby are far slower.
