Buy Napoli vs Monza tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match listed for Sunday 9 May 2027 and kick-off currently set for 16:00 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples. This is matchday 35 of Serie A, deep in the run-in, when points matter at both ends of the table. Serie A confirms final broadcast slots a few weeks before each round, so the day and time can still shift.

Monza arrive as a newly promoted side, back in the top flight after a single season in Serie B. That gives a spring league date a sharper edge than its billing suggests, because a promoted club fighting for survival rarely comes to Fuorigrotta to sit back. For every home date across the campaign, our Napoli listings cover the full season at the Maradona.
The history is short but telling. Monza have visited Naples three times in Serie A and have yet to score a goal there. Napoli supporters know that record, and they also remember the afternoon in May 2023 when Monza beat the newly crowned champions on home soil in Lombardy. Both facts shape how this match sells.
The Maradona holds around 54,700 people, and Napoli's home support is among the most loyal in Italian football. Demand does not hinge on the opponent's name alone. A Sunday in May brings warm weather, tourist traffic in the city and the pull of the closing weeks of the season, which together push general sale allocations through quickly.
The visitors add their own layer. Monza fans travel more than 750 km from Brianza for this trip, and the away sector in the northeast corner typically holds about 2,800 seats. A promoted side chasing safety in May tends to bring a committed travelling group, which tightens the away allocation even when the home sections still show availability.
Matchday 35 also carries scheduling weight. If Napoli are still involved in European competition or chasing a top-four finish, the club's supporters treat every home game in the run-in as must-attend. The hospitality lounges along the longsides are the first areas to sell through for spring fixtures, often weeks before standard seats move.
Broadcast exposure matters too. A weekend slot late in the season usually lands in a prime window for viewers across Italy and abroad, which raises the fixture's profile with overseas buyers planning a Naples weekend around the football. That mix of local loyalty and visiting demand is why listings tighten as May approaches.
There is also the simple matter of who holds the seats already. A large share of the Maradona is taken by season ticket holders before a single match ticket goes on sale, and those holders rarely release seats for a run-in date. What reaches general sale is the remainder, which is why the resale market carries much of the realistic supply for buyers outside Naples.
Yes, through the resale marketplace. Through club routes, Napoli sell match tickets via TicketOne and authorised ticket offices, and the club's matchday information gives priority to Fidelity Card holders and season ticket holders. General online sales usually open only about a week before each home game, which leaves little room for anyone planning travel from abroad.
Italian league tickets are issued in named form, so every purchase through club routes is tied to an identity document. That system is designed to control who enters each sector, and it means the general sale window is short and competitive. Fans without a Fidelity Card often find the most popular sections gone within hours.
The marketplace route removes the wait. Listings for this match appear months ahead of the club's sale window, so you can pick a section, compare prices and lock in seats long before tickets reach general sale. You do not need a Fidelity Card or a season ticket history to buy here.
For the away sector, sales through club routes are usually directed to Monza supporters registered with their own club. Neutral buyers and Napoli fans should look at the home sections instead, which this guide covers in detail below.
Season ticket holders (abbonati) sit at the front of the queue for every home match, followed by Fidelity Card holders in the early sales phase. Only after those windows close does anything reach a wider audience. For a weekend match in May with the season on the line, that sequence can leave very little for the general public.
Five factors drive resale prices for this match: seat location, demand, fixture timing, competition context and hospitality tier. A Serie A run-in date in the 2026/27 season carries more weight than an autumn league game, and seats near the halfway line on either longside hold their value best. Weekend kick-offs also draw more travelling buyers than midweek slots.
For context, the Maradona's marquee European nights, such as Napoli vs Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League, usually sit in a higher bracket. A league match against a promoted side offers stronger value for anyone who wants the Maradona atmosphere at a more accessible price.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva A and Curva B (behind the goals) | £57 – £95 | Atmosphere seekers on a budget | Running track sits between the stand and the pitch; Curva B is the louder end |
| Distinti (longside standard) | £75 – £130 | Fans wanting a side-on view | Upper and lower tiers; central blocks hold their price |
| Tribuna Nisida (central longside) | £95 – £170 | Couples and small groups | Well-balanced sightlines across the pitch |
| Tribuna Posillipo (main stand) | £130 – £240+ | Buyers who want premium positioning | Halfway-line blocks draw the highest standard prices |
| Hospitality and VIP lounges | £300 – £550+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Lounge access, food and drinks bundled with longside seats |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Prices tend to follow a pattern across the season. Listings published in autumn often sit at the lower end of each range, then firm up once Serie A confirms the final day and time. The last fortnight before kick-off brings the sharpest movement, as overseas buyers commit to travel and the club's own sale window opens and closes within days.
Within each stand, the upper tier is usually the better-value choice. Height clears the running track and gives a fuller view of team shape, while the lower tier puts you closer to the noise but further from the near touchline than most fans expect.
The stadium's running track sets the rules for choosing a seat. The lower rows of the curve sit a long way from the action, so height helps more here than at a purpose-built football ground. Our Diego Armando Maradona seating plan shows every sector and tier so you can match blocks against listings before you buy.
The longsides give the clearest views. Blocks near the halfway line in Tribuna Posillipo and the central Distinti sections, roughly halfway up each tier, are where experienced visitors aim first. For more on the ground itself and its other events, see our guide to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva B | Fans who want noise, flags and constant singing | Lower | Home of Napoli's largest ultra groups; expect to stand for much of the match |
| Curva A | Budget buyers wanting a lively end with a little more space | Lower | Views are end-on and distant across the track; choose higher rows |
| Distinti | Groups wanting a longside view at a mid-range price | Mid | Central blocks give a balanced view; corner blocks trade angle for price |
| Tribuna Nisida | Couples and families wanting comfort and a clear view | Mid to upper | Premium longside seating with good sightlines to both penalty areas |
| Tribuna Posillipo | Buyers who want the main-stand experience | Upper | Halfway-line blocks offer the most complete view of the pitch |
| Away sector (Settore Ospiti) | Travelling Monza supporters | Lower to mid | Northeast corner between Curva A and Tribuna Posillipo, both tiers, around 2,800 seats; keep Monza colours inside this sector |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should stay on the longsides and avoid team colours outside the away sector. Plain clothing in the Distinti or Nisida sections lets you take in the Curva B display from a comfortable distance without standing in the middle of it. Families tend to prefer the Tribuna Nisida for the same reason.
Supporters with accessibility needs should apply through the club's dedicated disability access process, which allocates wheelchair spaces and companion seats separately from general sale. Allow extra time for that request, as places for spring fixtures are limited.
For first-time visitors, the experience starts well before kick-off. Curva B usually unveils its choreography as the teams walk out, and the stadium anthem rolls around the bowl from every sector. Taking your seat 30 to 45 minutes early is worth it for that alone, and it also spares you the queues that build at the turnstiles in the final half-hour.
Hospitality at the Maradona is built around the two longside lounges, with off-site dining packages as a lower-priced alternative. Supply is limited, and spring fixtures in the run-in often sell through weeks before kick-off.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Posillipo seat | Fans wanting a top view without the full package | Central main-stand seating at a lower cost than lounge access |
| Off-site matchday dining package | Couples and small groups visiting Naples | Pre-match drinks and a multi-course dinner plus Distinti seats |
| Nisida Lounge | Corporate guests and celebration groups | Lounge access, open bar, buffet food and host service along the longside |
| Posillipo Lounge | Clients and guests who want the most complete matchday | Main-stand lounge, open bar, buffet food, half-time refreshments and hosts |
The venue's published hospitality descriptions place the lounges on either longside, so every package comes with a side-on view rather than an end seat. Lounge packages include pre-match food and drink, which makes them a sensible choice for guests flying in on the day.
If your group mixes football fans with guests less interested in the match, the dining packages give everyone a shared pre-match experience. Lounges suit buyers who want the whole afternoon handled under one roof.
Choosing between the two lounges comes down to position more than inclusions. Both offer an open bar, buffet food and hosts, so the decision rests on whether you prefer the main stand in Tribuna Posillipo or the opposite longside in Tribuna Nisida. Book hospitality early, as packages for spring fixtures rarely return to sale once they go.
Delivery method depends on the seller and the type of ticket released for the match. Every listing states the method before you pay.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | Install the ticketing app named in the listing and confirm the transfer reaches your account before matchday |
| E-ticket (PDF) | Make sure the barcode prints or displays clearly and the attendee name matches your ID |
| Paper ticket | Confirm the courier delivery date and the address in good time |
| Local collection | Note the collection point, time window and the documents you need to bring |
Read the listing notes for any delivery or name details before you complete payment. Bring valid photo ID, because stewards at Italian grounds can compare the named ticket with your document at the turnstile. If you hold a mobile ticket, charge your phone fully and save a screenshot where the app allows it.
The stadium sits in Fuorigrotta, west of the city centre. The Cumana line stops at Mostra-Stadio-Maradona, about a seven-minute walk from the ground, while Metro Line 2 serves Campi Flegrei station, roughly ten minutes away on foot. Arrive at least 90 minutes before kick-off, as security cordons around the stadium can slow entry on a full house.
Timing of delivery is worth understanding before you buy. Because Napoli's own sales open so close to each match, many tickets are only issued in the final week, so delivery often lands a few days before kick-off rather than months ahead. That is normal for Italian league football, and your order status shows when the seller has dispatched.

Paying less at the Maradona is mostly about timing and flexibility on position. These habits consistently produce better-value seats for league matches in Naples.
Overseas buyers should favour mobile or e-ticket listings, which avoid courier timing issues across borders. If you are travelling as a group, choose listings marked as seated together and add every attendee's details at checkout. Naples Capodichino airport has direct links across Europe, while the stadium is reachable by train from the city centre in under half an hour.
Serie A dates late in the season can move by a day once broadcast slots are fixed, so book flexible flights or travel on the Friday and leave on the Monday. Monza supporters planning both meetings this season can also pick up seats for Monza vs Napoli at the Stadio Brianteo, listed for Wednesday 28 October 2026.
Most visitors stay in the centro storico, Chiaia or near the seafront, all within easy reach of the ground. Metro Line 2 runs from Napoli Centrale through Mergellina to Campi Flegrei, while the Cumana line runs from Montesanto to the Mostra-Stadio-Maradona stop. After the final whistle, expect busy platforms for up to an hour, so a walk back towards Mergellina can be quicker than waiting for the first trains.
Naples in May is usually warm, with afternoon temperatures in the low to mid-20s Celsius. Bring water and sun protection if your seat faces the afternoon light, and pack a light layer for the evening if the kick-off moves later once the schedule is confirmed.
This is one of the newer pairings in Serie A. Monza won promotion to the top flight for the first time in 2022, and their first visit to Naples came in the second round of that debut season. Napoli won 4-0 at the Maradona, an opening statement from a side that went on to win the 2022/23 title. Monza replied nine months later, beating the new champions 2-0 in Lombardy less than a fortnight after Napoli had sealed the Scudetto.
The 2023/24 season brought the tightest contest so far, a goalless draw in Naples at the end of December during a difficult title defence. The return match in April 2024 produced six goals, with Monza leading at half-time before Napoli scored three times in six second-half minutes on the way to a 4-2 win. Napoli then took both meetings in 2024/25, including a 1-0 win at Monza in April 2025 during their second title-winning run in three seasons. Monza went down that summer and came straight back up in 2026 through the Serie B play-offs.
That return was dramatic in its own right. Monza finished third in Serie B in 2025/26 and met Catanzaro in the play-off final, losing the second leg 2-0 to leave the tie level at 2-2 on aggregate. Their higher league finish settled it, and promotion arrived exactly four years after the club's first. The trip to Naples in May 2027 is part of the first season of that second spell in Serie A.
What makes this match distinctive is the contrast between the two clubs' paths. Napoli are a club with a vast city behind them and two recent titles, while Monza are a provincial club still writing their first top-flight chapters. At the Maradona the record is one-sided, yet Monza's 2023 win shows the series is not a formality.
For a buyer, that context matters. A promoted side with something to protect in May, against a home crowd used to winning this fixture, tends to produce an open, emotional afternoon rather than a quiet end-of-season match. That is the case for booking this one early rather than waiting for the run-in to settle.
Only three meetings have taken place at the Maradona, so the table below covers all Serie A meetings between the sides at both grounds. In Naples alone, Napoli have won two and drawn one, scoring six goals and conceding none.
The pattern behind the totals is clear. All four of Monza's goals in the series came at their own ground, and Napoli have averaged close to two goals per game across the six meetings. For buyers, that record points to a home crowd expecting a win, which keeps the home sections in steady demand even against a promoted opponent.
