Buy Parma vs Fiorentina tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the fixture listed for Sunday 13 December 2026 at 20:00 local time in Emilia-Romagna. Italian kick-off times are confirmed by the league a few weeks in advance and move for broadcast, so verify the slot on your listing before booking travel. This is a fixture with a habit of finishing level, and the record behind it is stranger than the league table suggests.

The Stadio Ennio Tardini holds 22,352, which is small even by Serie A standards and is the single biggest factor in how quickly seats go. Anyone buying Parma matchday seats for the first time should plan around that number rather than around the club's mid-table profile.
Twenty-six Serie A meetings have been played here since 1990/91. Parma have won nine and Fiorentina five, and the other twelve finished all square. Nearly half of every league match between these clubs in Parma has ended in a draw, which is a pattern rather than a run of coincidence.
The ground is the constraint. At 22,352 the Tardini is among the smaller venues in the division, and the two curve plus the Tribuna Est account for most of it. Season cards and club-route sales absorb a large share before general availability opens, so the pool reaching outside buyers is thin for every home fixture, not just the marquee ones.
Fiorentina travel well and bring a following that fills the away allocation for most trips in northern Italy. The visiting sector at the Tardini sits in the Curva Sud and typically runs to around 2,500 seats according to the fixture and the security assessment, which is a meaningful share of a 22,352 ground. Demand for Fiorentina seats routinely exceeds that figure well before matchday.
There is history here too, even if it sits outside the league record. Parma and Fiorentina contested two Coppa Italia finals in three years around the turn of the century. Parma took the 1999 edition on away goals after a 3-3 aggregate, and Fiorentina answered in 2001 with a 2-1 aggregate win. Two national finals between the same pair in that space of time gives a mid-table league fixture more weight than the current standings imply.
For comparison within the same season, the visit of the reigning powers draws harder still, and Parma against Juventus at the Tardini commands the steepest prices on the home calendar. This fixture sits below that tier but comfortably above a routine Sunday, and the December slot adds its own pull.
December sharpens it further. This date falls in the busiest stretch of the Italian calendar, with matchdays compressed either side of the winter pause, and an evening kick-off in that window draws a fuller house than an early Sunday in October. Both clubs finished mid-table last season within three points of each other, which removes the mismatch framing and leaves a fixture neither side can treat as routine.
Yes, though the direct route in Italy has more steps than most leagues. Tickets for Serie A matches are nominative: the buyer's name is printed on the ticket, photo identification is inspected at the turnstile and the name on the document has to match. Parma sell through a ticketing partner rather than over a counter on the day, and a club supporter card is required for parts of the ground.
The visiting sector is stricter again. Away allocations in Italy are released under conditions set by the national committee that assesses each fixture, and sales are frequently limited to supporters who hold the visiting club's own card or who live in a particular province. There is no matchday sale at the ground for away supporters, so a Fiorentina fan who misses the club window has no fallback through the club's own routes.
The resale market covers the gap for everyone else. Listings on 1BoxOffice come from season-card holders, club members and hospitality holders who cannot attend, which spreads inventory across the stadium rather than concentrating it at one end. Because Italian tickets are nominative, read the listing notes carefully so you understand how the seller will transfer the seat and what identification you need to bring.
One practical consequence of the nominative system: leave more time than you would in England or Germany. Identification is inspected against the ticket at entry, queues build at the gates and a mismatch is not something that gets resolved at the turnstile.
Five things move the price on this fixture: the stand, how much of the allocation has cleared, the confirmed kick-off slot, what the match means to both clubs in the 2026/27 table and whether the listing carries hospitality. Face values at the Tardini generally start in the mid-twenties in euros for the curve and rise past eighty for central seats in the main stand. Resale sits above that because the constraint is the size of the ground rather than the price on the ticket.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Nord | £45 – £100 | Supporters who want the singing end | Home ultras territory and rarely resold in volume |
| Curva Sud, home areas | £50 – £110 | Buyers prioritising entry over sightline | Behind the opposite goal, alongside the visiting sector |
| Tribuna Est | £90 – £180 | First-time visitors and couples | Full side view opposite the main stand |
| Tribuna Centrale Petitot, lateral | £140 – £260 | Buyers who want a covered main-stand seat | Angled view from the wings of the grandstand |
| Tribuna Centrale Petitot, central and hospitality | £220 – £500+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Halfway line, with catering included on some listings |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The confirmed slot matters more in Italy than in most leagues. Serie A spreads a matchday across Friday evening to Monday night and moves individual fixtures at relatively short notice, so a December Sunday can be repositioned once broadcasters select. Buyers with fixed travel should secure a seat before that decision. Flexible buyers occasionally find fresh listings just after it, when holders who cannot make the new time release seats.
The Tardini opened in 1923 and has the shape to prove it: four stands set tight to the pitch, no running track and a bowl that feels considerably louder than 22,352 should. The main grandstand carries three internal levels and the hospitality areas. The two ends behind the goals are the loudest parts of the ground, and the Tribuna Est is the calmer side option.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Nord Matteo Bagnaresi | Supporters who want the organised end | Lower | Home ultras section behind the goal and the source of most of the noise |
| Curva Sud, home sections | Atmosphere at a lower price | Lower | Shares the end with the visiting sector, so expect a mixed feel |
| Tribuna Est | Neutrals and first-time visitors | Mid | Elevated side view with accessible positions provided within the stand |
| Tribuna Centrale Petitot, wings | Families and small groups | Mid to upper | Covered, with quicker concourse access than the ends |
| Tribuna Centrale Petitot, central | Buyers who want the halfway line | Upper | Includes the premium band, so read the listing inclusions carefully |
| Settore Ospiti, within the Curva Sud | Fiorentina supporters | Set by the visiting club | Around 2,500 seats with an unobstructed view; home colours are not appropriate here |
The two ends are not interchangeable. The Curva Nord carries the organised home support and is named after a supporter who died travelling to an away match in 2008, and it is the end that sets the tone for the evening. The Curva Sud holds the visiting sector alongside general home seating, which makes it the livelier choice for a neutral who wants noise from both directions and the quieter choice for anyone who wants neither.
Neutral buyers are usually best served in the Tribuna Est, which gives a clean view of both penalty areas without sitting inside either organised end. If you are undecided between a curva seat and the main stand, the deciding factor is what you want from the evening rather than the sightline: the ends are the experience, the grandstand is the view. Accessible positions sit within the Tribuna Est and, given how little inventory circulates at this ground, should be arranged as far ahead as possible.
Hospitality at the Tardini runs through the Tribuna Centrale Petitot, the grandstand that also holds the media areas and the premium seating. Because the ground is small, the hospitality inventory is small with it, and packages tend to be sold across a season rather than match by match. That structure is precisely why they surface on the resale market: a seasonal holder who cannot make a December Sunday releases one fixture rather than the whole card.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seat with lounge access | Individual guests and pairs | Central grandstand seating with an indoor area before the match and at half time |
| Private box | Companies entertaining clients | Enclosed space with dedicated service and a private viewing position |
| Club-level shared table | Smaller groups without a full box | Seated dining in a members' area with a premium seat attached |
| Premium group package | Celebrations and corporate outings | Blocks of adjacent premium seats released together for one fixture |
The practical value of hospitality at a ground this size is time rather than luxury. Concourses at the Tardini are narrow, catering points are few and a sold-out Sunday evening produces queues that eat most of the interval. A package that removes the wait changes the shape of the evening more than it changes the view.
Read the inclusions line by line before you commit. Catering, parking, arrival time and seat position vary between packages, and two listings at similar money can deliver very different experiences. If arrival timing matters, confirm the lounge opening time on the listing, because premium areas open earlier than the general gates and that head start is part of what you are buying.
Delivery on Italian fixtures deserves more attention than it does elsewhere, because the ticket carries a name and the gate staff inspect identification against it. The seller states the method on the listing before you pay, and the notes are where the detail that matters sits.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile transfer | That you can receive the transfer on the phone you will carry, and that the battery will last the return journey |
| E-ticket download | That the file reaches you before you travel, and whether a printed copy is expected at this ground |
| Courier despatch | The despatch window against your travel dates, and an address where someone can sign |
| Collection in Parma | The collection point, its opening hours and the identification you need to present |
Carry original photo identification rather than a photograph of it. Italian grounds inspect the document itself at entry and a picture on a phone is commonly refused. If your listing arrives as a downloadable file, print it as well as saving it offline: some Italian turnstiles still prefer paper, and a printed copy costs you nothing.
Arrive earlier than you would at a comparable English ground. Entry procedures take longer where every ticket is matched to a name, and the Tardini's gates are set on residential streets with limited queueing space. Give yourself forty-five minutes before kick-off rather than fifteen.

Step1
Start from this fixture
Begin here rather than with a general search, so the listings you see are scoped to the December date in Parma and not to the return meeting in Florence.
Step2
Set up your account
You can create an account before or at the payment stage. Doing it first means your details are saved when a listing you want appears, which matters at a ground this size.
Step3
Filter by quantity first
Set the number of seats before you filter by price. Sellers list in fixed groupings, so a pair and a four return very different results from a 22,352-seat stadium.
Step4
Match the sector to the stand
Cross-reference the sector name on the listing against the four stands so you know whether you are behind a goal, along a side or in the grandstand.
Step5
Read the listing notes
Notes cover how the seat will be transferred, what identification is expected, whether seats are together and any hospitality inclusions. On Italian fixtures this is the most important line on the page.
Step6
Confirm the delivery method
The method appears before payment. If you are flying in, favour a digital method over a courier despatch so nothing depends on being at a home address.
Step7
Complete the payment
Payment is encrypted and the total shown at the final screen is the total charged. Your confirmation email arrives immediately afterwards.
Step8
Follow your order through
Use the track order page to watch the status from confirmation to delivery, and keep your reference number to hand until the seats arrive.
Value at the Tardini comes from choosing the right sector early rather than gambling on a late release that a small ground rarely produces. These five habits make the difference.
Parma sits on the Milan to Bologna corridor, which makes it one of the easier Serie A trips to reach without a car. Bologna and Milan are the practical airports, both within a comfortable train ride, and high-speed services run frequently into Parma. Overseas buyers should favour mobile transfer or e-ticket delivery, since both reach you wherever you are staying. If you want seats together, say so at the point of purchase: sellers list adjacent seats as a set, and a request made afterwards cannot merge two separate listings.
From Parma railway station the walk to the ground takes roughly twenty to twenty-five minutes through the centre, and city bus routes run the same way with a stop a few minutes from the turnstiles. The Tardini sits between the town centre and the old city walls, so the pre-match hours are best spent in Parma itself rather than around the stadium. Driving is the weakest option: parking near the ground is scarce and the underground car parks in the centre fill early.
If your trip is built around both meetings rather than one, the return fixture is played in Tuscany later in the season. Seats for the Florence leg of the pairing are listed separately and follow their own pricing pattern.
That ground is laid out very differently from the Tardini, with a curved athletics-era bowl and sectors that do not map onto the four-stand logic used in Parma. The Stadio Artemio Franchi seating plan is the place to start if Florence is on your itinerary.
Parma reached Serie A for the first time in 1990 and spent the following decade as one of the most decorated clubs in Europe, collecting continental silverware while Fiorentina built and rebuilt around their own peaks. The two have been drawn together at unusual moments since: two national cup finals in three years, a pair of financial collapses and rebuilds on both sides, and a league record at the Tardini that stubbornly refuses to produce a clear winner.
Both clubs know what it is to start again. Fiorentina went through bankruptcy in 2002 and climbed back to Serie A within two seasons. Parma's own collapse came in 2015, followed by a return through the lower divisions and back to the top flight. That shared experience is part of why the fixture has an even quality to it, and the numbers bear it out: across 26 league meetings in Parma the goals stand at 33 to 26, a margin of seven across 35 years.
What makes the fixture distinctive is the flatness of the record rather than any hostility between the two supports. Twelve draws in 26 is a high rate for a pairing with this much history behind it, and three of those finished goalless. Fiorentina have failed to score in twelve of their 26 visits; Parma have been shut out in only four. It is a fixture that produces tight games in a tight stadium, which is precisely why the atmosphere tends to outrun the billing. Supporters planning both legs will find the away ground a very different proposition, and the Stadio Artemio Franchi guide sets out how that one works.

In the visiting sector within the Curva Sud, behind the goal opposite the home end. The allocation is roughly 2,500 and is set fixture by fixture.
It is a walk of roughly twenty to twenty-five minutes through the city centre. City bus routes cover the same journey with a stop a few minutes from the ground.
Most listings are digital, arriving as a mobile transfer or a downloadable file. Printing a spare copy is worth the effort for an Italian fixture.
