Buy Parma vs Sassuolo tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Serie A matchday 26 derby scheduled for Sunday 28 February 2027 at the Stadio Ennio Tardini and a provisional 3pm kick-off (Italian time). Lega Serie A confirms exact dates and times a few weeks before each round, so the game could still move within that weekend. This is the Emilian derby: two clubs from neighbouring provinces separated by a short stretch of the Via Emilia.

Italian tickets are personal. Each ticket carries the holder's name; fans show photo ID at the turnstile. Parma's own ticketing terms state that the user on a single-match ticket cannot be changed; only season ticket holders can pass their seat to another Tardini Card holder.
That matters for anyone buying through resale. Read each listing's notes carefully on how the name is registered and what ID is needed at entry, before you commit to a seat.
Sassuolo supporters face their own process. Away-sector tickets are sold through the visiting club's channels, usually to holders of its fidelity scheme. Season ticket holders at the Mapei Stadium tend to be first in line. The away sector is not normally sold on matchday.
Local authorities can also add restrictions for derbies. For some fixtures, residents of the visiting club's province may only buy in the away sector. Any such rule is published in the days before the sale, so buyers should look out for it.
Timing is worth knowing. For the October home game against Torino, club sales opened around four weeks before kick-off. A similar window is likely for the derby, which means resale listings will often appear before the club's own sale has even started.
Five things set the price for this game in 2026/27: seat location, derby demand from both sets of fans, how close to kick-off you buy, the competition context of a mid-season Serie A derby and whether hospitality is involved. Face values at the Tardini range from around €20 in the Curva Sud to around €80 in the central Tribuna Petitot for comparable fixtures. Resale prices sit above that, with central seats carrying the premium.
The Tardini Card changes face values too. For the Torino game, a central Petitot seat cost €80 at full price and €70 with the card. Those discounts feed into how resale listings are priced, since sellers who paid less often list a little lower.
Derby status also moves the market. Prices for this fixture tend to sit above a standard Parma home game against a mid-table side, because local demand from both provinces is concentrated on one afternoon. If the final slot lands on a weekday evening instead of a Sunday, expect a softer market and a wider choice of sectors.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva / less central | £60 – £95 | Budget-minded buyers and solo fans | Behind the goals; lively and close to the pitch |
| Longside standard | £80 – £130 | Pairs and small groups | Tribuna Laterale Est and Laterale Ovest |
| Lower tier / central | £100 – £160+ | Fans who want to be close to the action | Tribuna Inferiore Est and central East Stand blocks |
| Premium seating | £130 – £200+ | Buyers prioritising the clearest sightlines | Tribuna Centrale Petitot, the main stand |
| Hospitality / VIP | £200 – £450+ | Corporate guests and celebrations | Lounge access, catering and Petitot seats; sky boxes at the top end |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Expect prices to firm up once the final kick-off slot is confirmed, because that is when most visitors commit to travel. A Sunday afternoon derby usually draws more interest than a weekday evening. Watching a few sectors for a week or two gives a sense of fair value before you buy.
Group size matters too. Pairs are the most common listing size, so two seats together offer the widest choice. Groups of four or more will see fewer matching listings; adjacent seats can push the price per head into the next bracket.
The Tardini is a rectangular ground with four separate stands and no athletic track, so every sector sits close to the pitch. The Tribuna Petitot is the main stand, home to the central seats, the club museum and most hospitality. The Tribuna Est runs along the opposite touchline and houses the sky boxes. The Curva Nord holds Parma's organised support, while the Curva Sud includes the away sector.
Every stand at the Tardini has a clear view of the pitch, which makes sector choice more about atmosphere and budget than sightlines. Both main stands are fully covered, a useful detail for a February afternoon in the Po Valley.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Nord | Home fans who want the loudest atmosphere | Lower range | Organised home support; expect flags, chanting and standing throughout |
| Curva Sud (home section) | Value hunters | Lower range | Behind the goal next to the away sector; lively derby atmosphere |
| Tribuna Laterale Est and Ovest | Pairs wanting a sideline view for less | Mid-range | Good angle on both penalty areas |
| Tribuna Centrale Est | Neutrals and families | Mid to upper range | Covered central view facing the main stand |
| Tribuna Centrale Petitot | Buyers wanting the clearest view | Upper range | Main stand beside the hospitality areas |
| Settore Ospiti, Curva Sud | Sassuolo supporters only | Set by the visiting allocation | Around 3,500 places; entry from Via Puccini on the south side; Sassuolo colours only inside this sector |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans are better placed in the central East Stand or the Petitot, where there is no pressure to back either side. Anyone in Sassuolo's green and black should stay in the away sector, because stewards can move visiting fans found in home areas. The two ends behind the goals are for committed supporters and are not the place for a quiet afternoon.
Row choice matters in a compact ground. Front rows put you close to the players but can flatten your view of the far half. Middle rows in the main stands give the better balance between atmosphere and a clear picture of the game.
The Curva Nord was rebuilt in 2018 with around 6,500 new seats; it is now one of the newest parts of the ground. The Tribuna Petitot, by contrast, carries the history: the club museum sits inside it, surrounded by the trophies Parma won during their golden era. Choosing between them is a choice between noise and heritage.
For families, the Tribuna Inferiore Est is worth a look. It sits low along the touchline, away from the more intense atmosphere behind the goals. It also puts younger fans close enough to see the players clearly. Central East Stand seats above it offer a calmer, covered view for anyone who prefers to watch rather than sing.
Parma's hospitality is centred on the Tribuna Petitot, with further options in the Tribuna Est. The club offers the Tardini Club in the heart of the main stand, a Museum Club experience inside the club museum and 15 sky boxes in the East Stand. Packages combine catering before kick-off and at half-time with premium seats.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Tardini Club | Couples and small groups | Catering before kick-off and at half-time with central Petitot seats |
| Museum Club experience | Fans who want the club's history with their match | Dining among the trophies in the club museum inside the main stand |
| Tunnel-side matchday experience | Guests wanting to see the teams up close | Access beside the players' tunnel before kick-off plus Petitot seats |
| Sky Box, Tribuna Est | Companies hosting clients | Private box with catering and a raised view across the pitch |
Hospitality buyers should read arrival times, dress guidance and catering details on each listing, because these vary by product. Seats included with packages are among the most central in the ground, so the view forms a large part of the value.
Parma's hospitality leans on the city's food culture, with menus built around local produce. For visitors, that turns a derby afternoon into a fuller day out. It also works well for mixed groups who support different sides.
Entry to the Tardini depends on a named ticket and matching ID. Season ticket holders use their Tardini Card, while single-match buyers receive a ticket or seat receipt to present with identification. Knowing which format your listing uses avoids stress at the turnstile.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Named e-ticket | The name on the ticket must match your photo ID; print it or keep it ready on your phone |
| Tardini Card with seat receipt | Bring the card, the downloaded seat receipt and your ID; all three may be requested at entry |
| Mobile ticket | A compatible smartphone and the ticketing account named in the listing; download before leaving home |
| Away sector tickets | Issued through Sassuolo's own channels and usually tied to its fidelity scheme; the listing notes will say how |
Read every listing note before you pay, especially anything on delivery timing or name details. Bring valid photo ID that matches the ticket, as stewards can compare the two at entry. Charge your phone fully and keep screen brightness up at the turnstile.
The name rule is the part most visitors overlook. Because Parma does not allow the user on a single-match ticket to be changed, the details registered at purchase are the ones that count on the day. If anything in the listing notes is unclear on that point, raise it before you pay rather than at the turnstile.
The ground sits just over a kilometre south-east of Parma's historic centre, so many visitors simply walk. Parma railway station is around two kilometres away; bus 23 from the station drops you close to the stadium. Parking nearby is limited on matchdays, so walking or public transport is the easier option.
Aim to arrive at least 45 minutes before kick-off. Security searches can take time at derbies; queues build in the final half-hour. Travel light, as large bags slow entry and there is no guarantee of storage.

Parma is easy to reach for overseas buyers. Bologna and Milan airports are the usual gateways, with fast rail links along the Via Emilia into Parma station. If you are buying for a group, note the quantity at the start and choose listings that confirm adjacent seats rather than just the same sector.
The bigger planning risk is date movement. Matchday 26 runs across the weekend of 26 to 28 February, so book flexible hotels and allow a spare day around flights until the slot is confirmed. Visitors basing themselves in Milan can also plan around Parma's away trip to San Siro for Inter Milan vs Parma earlier in the season.
Buyers in the Gulf should note the time difference. A 3pm kick-off in Parma is 6pm in the UAE, which makes a long weekend practical: fly in on the Friday, watch the derby on Sunday and fly home on Monday. Prices on the marketplace are shown in pounds sterling, so factor in your card's exchange rate when comparing listings.
Rail makes the trip simple. Parma sits on the main line between Milan and Bologna, with frequent trains from both cities taking around an hour. Staying in the historic centre puts the stadium within walking distance and keeps the whole weekend car-free.
Bring your passport to the stadium. Because Italian tickets are named, overseas visitors should travel with the same ID used when the ticket was registered. A photocopy or a photo on your phone may not be accepted.
Sassuolo reached Serie A for the first time in 2013. Their first top-flight visit to the Tardini that October ended 3-1 to Parma. A year later the result flipped: Sassuolo won 3-1 here in October 2014, in the season Parma's old club went bankrupt. The refounded club climbed back from Serie D to Serie A by 2018; the derby returned with it.
Parma won the next two meetings in Parma, 2-1 in November 2018 and 1-0 in September 2019. Sassuolo replied with another 3-1 in May 2021, as Parma's spell in the top flight ended. After both clubs spent time in Serie B, the derby came back in 2025/26. Parma won the final-day meeting 1-0.
What makes this fixture distinctive is how decisive it has been. Every Serie A meeting at the Tardini has produced a winner, with no draw yet. Parma have won all four of their home derbies by narrow or modest margins; Sassuolo's two wins both came by two goals.
There is also a sense of time running on the old ground. Parma have published plans for a rebuilt, fully covered Tardini. No construction timetable has been confirmed, yet every season in the current stadium feels a little more special to the regulars. For visitors, it is a chance to see one of Italy's oldest grounds in its familiar form.
The derby also carries a regional pride that goes beyond the table. Parma represent a city with a European pedigree; Sassuolo represent a small industrial town that built a top-flight club in a little over a decade. When the two meet, supporters on both sides feel they have something to prove.
