Buy Parma vs Udinese tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Gialloblu hosting the Friulani at the Stadio Ennio Tardini on Wednesday 28 October 2026, kick-off 18:30 local time. This is Matchday 9 of Serie A Enilive and one of only two midweek rounds in the entire calendar. A Wednesday evening in late October means floodlights, a cold Emilian night and a ground that sounds twice its size.

The Tardini is not a modern bowl. Just over 22,000 seats sit tight against the pitch inside a 1923 ground that has been reworked but never replaced, which is exactly why it works so well as a football venue and exactly why supply is so tight. Anyone weighing up Parma home matches at the Stadio Ennio Tardini will find that the season ticket base swallows a large share of the ground before general sale opens.
There is history here too. Parma have hosted Udinese 26 times in Serie A at this ground since September 1992 and won 15 of them, though the visitors have taken the last two. That recent swing is what gives the 2026/27 meeting its edge.
Parma and Udinese occupy similar ground in Serie A. Both finished mid-table in 2025/26, Udinese tenth on 50 points and Parma twelfth on 45. Both spend seasons hunting the same 45-to-55 point range. Fixtures between clubs of matched ambition sell differently from a visit by a Milan or a Juventus: fewer tourists, more locals and a far higher share of buyers who care about the result rather than the occasion.
The visiting end works against the buyer here rather than for them. Udine to Parma is around four hours by road each way, and a Wednesday evening kick-off makes that a hard sell for a casual travelling supporter, so the segregated block of the Curva Sud that serves as the settore ospiti rarely stretches its ceiling of roughly 2,500. Anyone weighing up Udinese away fixtures should plan around a capped, restricted allocation rather than a general-sale pool.
Midweek scheduling squeezes the market further. Wednesday kick-offs cut out casual day-trippers, so a larger proportion of the ground goes to season ticket holders who were always coming. The seats that do reach the open market get spread thinner and go faster.
The 2026/27 calendar sharpens all of this. Serie A built only two midweek rounds into the season, this one in late October and a second on 6 January 2027, so the Tardini gets exactly one floodlit Wednesday before Christmas. Parma's home schedule either side of it is dense, with Torino on 19 October and Bologna on 7 November, and supporters picking two or three matches from that run tend to keep the midweek date for themselves rather than pass the seat on.
Yes, but the club route narrows quickly. Parma's 2026/27 abbonamento campaign, run under the slogan "Da sempre. Per sempre", opened with a renewal window for existing holders from 3 to 21 June 2026, followed by free sale from 22 June. Season prices ran from the lowest band in the Curva Nord and Curva Sud through the Tribuna Inferiore Est and the Laterale sectors up to the Tribuna Centrale Petitot, which sat at the top of the list at more than five times the cost of a place behind the goal.
Every seat sold in that campaign is gone before a single single-match ticket is listed. What remains for a midweek Serie A fixture is a modest general-sale pool split across sectors, plus whatever season ticket holders release when a Wednesday night does not suit them. Italian grounds also operate a loyalty card system, and Parma's Tardini Card sits behind parts of the club's own sales process, which adds an administrative step for anyone buying from abroad.
The marketplace exists for that gap. Listings on 1BoxOffice come from verified sellers holding seats that would otherwise go unused, which means a buyer without a card, a renewal history or an Italian address can still pick a sector, see the price before committing and complete the purchase in one sitting.
Italian ticketing carries one habit that catches out visitors: many Serie A seats are issued in the name of the person attending, and that name is checked at the turnstile against photo identification. It is not a formality and it is not applied loosely. Any listing you buy should state clearly how the name is handled, and a seller who cannot answer that question is a seller to skip.
The settore ospiti is also not an alternative route for neutrals. Visiting allocations at Italian grounds are frequently restricted by residency, sold only through the away club's own channels and policed at the gate, so a buyer without ties to Udine has no realistic path into that block. For everyone else the home sectors are the practical option, and choosing between them is the next decision.
Five things move the price on a fixture like this: where the seat sits, how much of the ground has already gone, the midweek slot, the competitive context between two mid-table sides and whether the listing carries hospitality. October matches in the 2026/27 season sit early enough that neither club's league position has hardened, which usually keeps the market steadier than a spring fixture with something riding on it.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Nord or Curva Sud, behind the goal | £85 – £130 | Atmosphere on a budget | Lowest entry point in the ground. Standing-style support in the Nord |
| Tribuna Inferiore Est, longside lower | £105 – £160 | Balance of price and sightline | Close to pitch level, quieter than the curve |
| Tribuna Laterale Est or Ovest | £145 – £225 | Neutral buyers and families | Full-length view of play, mixed crowd |
| Tribuna Centrale Est or Laterale Petitot | £210 – £330+ | Central viewing without hospitality | Halfway-line angles, covered seating in the Petitot |
| Tribuna Centrale Petitot and hospitality | £380 – £700+ | Premium matchday | Top sector of the ground, catering packages attached to some listings |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Read the bands as overlapping rather than fixed. A well-timed Tribuna Laterale purchase can land below a poorly-timed Curva seat bought in the last 48 hours, because scarcity moves faster than sector logic once a fixture tightens. The listings that hold their price hardest are the central Petitot seats and anything with catering attached, since those exist in small numbers and are never restocked.
The Tardini's four sides carry distinct characters, and the gap between them matters more here than at a bigger ground because everything is so close together. There is no upper tier to hide in and no bad angle to worry about. The decision is about noise, cover and who you are sitting among.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Nord | Home support at full volume | Lowest | Home to Boys Parma 1977. Continuous singing, flags and limited sitting down |
| Curva Sud, settore ospiti | Udinese supporters | Lowest | Segregated visiting block of roughly 2,500. Separate entrances and a dedicated approach route |
| Curva Sud, home sections | Lower-priced home seats | Lowest | Shares the end with the visiting block. Expect segregation stewarding on the dividing line |
| Tribuna Inferiore Est | Pitch-level viewing | Low to mid | Very close to the touchline. Sightlines flatten at the far end of the pitch |
| Tribuna Laterale Est or Ovest | Wider view of the shape of the game | Mid | Steadier crowd, good for first-time visitors |
| Tribuna Centrale Petitot | Premium central seating | Highest | Main stand, covered, closest to the tunnel and the club museum |
Neutral buyers and anyone undecided should look first at the Tribuna Laterale Est. It sits away from both sets of hardcore support, keeps the full pitch in view and rarely carries the price premium of the Petitot. Wearing Udinese colours outside the visiting block is not advisable at any Italian ground, so buyers travelling from Friuli should match their sector to their scarf.
Cover is the other variable worth checking before you commit. The Tribuna Centrale Petitot is the stand with a roof over the majority of its seats, while large parts of the curve and the eastern side sit open to the sky. Late October in the Po valley brings fog and heavy dew rather than constant rain, but a 20:30 finish in an uncovered seat is a different experience from the same seat in April.
Access matters too. Wheelchair positions and step-free routes at the Tardini are concentrated on the Tribuna Est side, and the volume of them is small by the standards of a modern ground, so anyone with an access requirement should confirm the arrangement in the listing rather than assume availability. Entrances are sector-specific and stewards will not let you cross between sections once inside, which makes picking the right sector at purchase more consequential here than at a stadium with a shared concourse.
Parma's hospitality operation is smaller than the ones at Serie A's largest clubs, and it leans hard on the region's food rather than on scale. That is a genuine advantage for anyone who wants a full evening rather than a seat with a sandwich attached.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Tribuna Centrale Petitot premium seating | Buyers wanting a central sightline without a full package | Central, covered and closest to the players' tunnel |
| Tardini Excellence Experience | Couples and small groups marking an occasion | Dining inside the Ernesto Ceresini museum within the Petitot stand, with Culatello di Zibello DOP prepared by Antica Corte Pallavicina |
| Enrico Serafino Lounge | Food and wine visitors to Emilia | Wine-led matchday hosting recently added to the ground's offering |
| Corporate and group packages | Businesses and larger parties | Arranged through the club's hospitality desk, with catering and seating bundled |
Hospitality listings on the marketplace behave differently from ordinary seats. They come in smaller numbers, they are released later and they hold their price rather than softening in the final week. If a package matters more than a saving, buy it when you see it.
One practical note for October: the Tardini is a partially uncovered ground and the Curva Nord in particular has no roof. A 20:30 finish in late October in the Po valley is genuinely cold, so a covered sector is worth the extra outlay for anyone travelling with children.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile transfer | The transfer arrives at the email address on your order. Accept it before travelling and keep the phone charged on matchday |
| E-ticket or PDF | Downloadable and printable. Check whether the listing states a named holder, as Italian grounds often issue nominative tickets |
| Local collection | Meeting point and window are set out in the listing. Allow time before kick-off and bring the order reference |
| Courier delivery | Used for paper stock and hospitality passes. Confirm the delivery address is reachable before the match date |
Read the listing notes before you buy, because delivery method and any name-change requirement are stated there rather than assumed. Carry valid photo identification that matches the name on the ticket, since Italian stadium entry checks are applied properly and turnstile staff will refuse a mismatch. Charge your phone if the delivery is a mobile transfer. Screenshot the barcode as a backup in case the ground's signal drops.
Timing your collection matters on a Wednesday. Kick-off at 18:30 means the streets around the ground fill from about 17:00, and a collection window that looked generous on paper can disappear in traffic on Via Partigiani d'Italia. Aim to have your seats in hand by mid-afternoon and treat anything later as the exception rather than the plan.
1BoxOffice has been a verified marketplace since 2006 and every order carries a 150% money-back guarantee, so the process below runs the same way whether you are buying one seat or six.
Step1
Open the fixture listing
Go to the match page for the 28 October meeting at the Tardini and check the date, kick-off and venue line before anything else.
Step2
Set up your account
You can create an account in under a minute. Having one ready before you start speeds up checkout when a listing is moving quickly.
Step3
Choose your sector
Decide between the curve, the Tribuna Est and the Petitot before you filter by price. Sector shapes the whole evening far more than a small saving does.
Step4
Filter by quantity
Set the number of seats first so the listings shown can actually satisfy your group. Pairs and singles behave very differently on a midweek fixture.
Step5
Read the listing notes
Restricted view, split seating, nominative ticketing and delivery method are all declared here. Two minutes of reading prevents most matchday problems.
Step6
Check the all-in total
Move to checkout and look at the final figure with fees and delivery included, then compare that against the other sectors you shortlisted.
Step7
Complete the purchase
Pay through the secured checkout and keep the confirmation email. It carries your order reference and the delivery method attached to your seats.
Step8
Follow your delivery
Use track order to watch the progress of your seats and confirm they have arrived well before you travel to Parma.
Parma sits on the Milan to Bologna main line, which makes it an easy arrival for overseas buyers. Bologna Airport is about an hour away by rail and coach transfer, Milan Linate and Malpensa feed the same line from the north, while the ground is a 15-minute walk from Piazza Garibaldi in the city centre. Mobile transfer and e-ticket delivery both work perfectly well from abroad, and neither requires a fixed address in Italy.
Two points are worth planning around. If you need several seats together, buy from a single listing rather than assembling separate purchases, because sellers list blocks as they hold them and merging orders after the fact is not possible. And build slack into your travel dates: Serie A confirms kick-off times in blocks of matchdays and broadcast selections can still move a midweek fixture by a day, so a flight booked tight to the current slot carries real risk.
This fixture arrived in Serie A in September 1992, at the exact moment Parma stopped being a provincial curiosity. The Gialloblu had won the Coppa Italia that spring and would take the Cup Winners' Cup the following May. The club that followed won the UEFA Cup in 1995 and again in 1999, the European Super Cup in 1993 and two further Coppa Italia titles. Udinese arrived as the harder, leaner side from the north east, and the early Tardini meetings reflected that gap: Parma won four of the first six at home.
The balance shifted in the 2000s. Udinese under Pozzo family ownership built the recruitment model that took them to third place in Serie A in 2011/12 and fifth the following season, while Parma's finances unravelled into the 2015 bankruptcy and a restart in the amateur leagues. The Friulani began arriving in Emilia as the more established club, and their two heaviest wins at the ground, 3-0 in October 2006 and 3-0 again in April 2013, both came in that period.
What makes the fixture distinctive now is the reversal in the recent record. Parma hold a commanding all-time advantage at the Tardini, yet Udinese have won each of the last two visits, including a 2-3 result in September 2024 on Parma's return to Serie A. The 2026/27 meeting is the first chance to stop that run turning into a pattern, and the home crowd will treat it accordingly.
Every figure below covers Serie A meetings played at the Stadio Ennio Tardini with Parma as hosts, from September 1992 to the most recent fixture in November 2025.
| Metric | Total |

Totals compiled from match-by-match Serie A results below, cross-checked against league season records and match archives.
For a buyer, the useful signal in those figures is not the win column but the goals column. Sixty-nine goals across 26 meetings is a shade under 2.7 per match, and only four of the 26 finished level. This has been a fixture that produces a result far more often than it produces a stalemate, which is part of why the home sectors sell as briskly as they do.

Each result verified against two independent record sets: Serie A season results grids and a full match archive of fixtures between the two clubs.
Two gaps in that sequence tell their own story. Nothing between April 2015 and August 2018 covers Parma's bankruptcy and their climb back through the Italian divisions, and the gap from February 2021 to September 2024 marks the relegation and the promotion that followed. The fixture has survived both, which is more than can be said for a good many Serie A meetings of the early 1990s.
Yes. Verified sellers list seats released after the abbonamento campaign closes, so no renewal history or Italian loyalty card is needed to complete a purchase.
The fortnight before kick-off usually brings the widest choice, as season ticket holders release Wednesday-night seats. Leaving it to the final 48 hours narrows both sector choice and quantity.
In the segregated settore ospiti within the Curva Sud, an allocation of roughly 2,500 with its own entrances. Visiting colours should not be worn in home sectors.
Mobile transfer and e-ticket delivery both work from overseas and need no Italian address. Local collection and courier options are also listed on some seats.
It is possible from a single listing that holds six seats, though such blocks are limited in a ground of this size. Two sets of three in the same sector is often the better-value route.
