Buy Sassuolo vs Fiorentina tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Neroverdi hosting La Viola at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia on Monday 2 November 2026, kick-off 18:30 local time. This is Matchday 10 of Serie A, scheduled as a Monday-night posticipo rather than a weekend game. It is also the thirteenth league meeting between the clubs at this ground, and the record could hardly be tighter.

Twelve Serie A matches have been played here between these two. Sassuolo have won five, Fiorentina four, three have been drawn and the goals stand at 19 to 18. Anyone weighing up Sassuolo home matches this season is looking at a fixture that has produced a single goal of separation across more than a decade.
The two arrive in similar shape. Sassuolo finished eleventh last season on 49 points in their first campaign back after relegation, Fiorentina fifteenth on 42. A Monday night in November between two mid-table sides sounds unremarkable until you look at what this ground does with it.
Start with the ground itself. Sassuolo do not play in Sassuolo. The club's own stadium never had the capacity for the top flight, so since their 2013/14 debut they have played roughly 30 kilometres away at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia, a venue they share with Reggiana. That arrangement gives them a 21,500-seat ground and a home crowd drawn from two directions rather than one.
Fiorentina then supply the volume. They are one of Italian football's larger institutions, backed by a 43,000-capacity home ground of their own and two Conference League final appearances in recent memory. Buyers looking at Fiorentina away fixtures should note that the Tribuna Nord is the designated visiting sector with 4,000 places, a genuinely large allocation by Italian standards and one distributed through the visiting club rather than sold openly.
The Monday slot cuts the other way. Broadcast selection moved this fixture off the weekend to 18:30 on a Monday, which trims the casual day-trip audience and concentrates the crowd among people who were always coming. Fewer neutrals in the market means fewer seats reaching open sale, not more.
The shared tenancy is the part visiting buyers most often miss. Reggiana play here too, which means the ground runs a fuller fixture calendar than a single-club stadium and the local audience is split between two sides rather than pooled behind one. For a Serie A night against a club of Fiorentina's standing, that second audience turns up as well, and the sector conventions bend around a stadium used by two sets of home supporters through the season.
Yes, and the route is more open here than at many Serie A grounds. Sassuolo's abbonamento base is modest by the standards of the division, which leaves a larger proportion of the ground reaching individual sale than at a club with decades of inherited season card holders. That is the practical upside of a young top-flight club playing in a borrowed city.
The friction is Italian ticketing itself rather than the club. Many Serie A seats are issued in the name of the person attending and checked against photo identification at the turnstile, and restrictions on where visiting supporters may buy are set by the authorities on a fixture-by-fixture basis, sometimes late in the match week. A buyer without an Italian address or a purchase history meets that wall before they meet a pricing question.
The marketplace exists for exactly that gap. Listings on 1BoxOffice come from verified sellers holding seats that would otherwise go unused, so a buyer outside the club's own system can pick a sector, see the total before committing and complete the purchase in one sitting.
Attendance patterns matter here in a way they do not at a bigger club. Sassuolo draw well for the visits of the larger sides and more modestly for the rest, which means the gap between a full house and a comfortable one is decided by the opponent rather than by the season. Fiorentina belong firmly in the first category, and a Monday-night television slot does nothing to soften that.
Five things move the price here: which tribuna the seat sits in, how central it is along the touchline, how much of the ground has already gone, the Monday-night slot and whether the listing carries hospitality. A 21,500-seat ground puts a firmer floor under resale than a 60,000-seat one, and this fixture has been listing from around £105 rather than the £40 or £50 that a quiet Serie A afternoon can produce.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribuna Sud | £100 – £150 | Atmosphere on a budget | The home curva at 5,000 places, shared by Sassuolo and Reggiana supporters through the season |
| Tribuna Est | £115 – £180 | A seat without a premium | The largest sector in the ground at 6,573 places. Longside, full view of the pitch |
| Tribuna Ovest, lateral blocks | £150 – £230 | Balance of price and sightline | The main stand away from the centre, covered and closest to the facilities |
| Tribuna Ovest, central blocks | £220 – £330+ | Central covered viewing | Halfway-line seating within the 5,137-place main stand |
| VIP stand and boxes | £400 – £700+ | Premium matchday | 515 VIP places plus 32 boxes holding 192 between them. Small volumes, rarely restocked |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Read those bands as overlapping rather than fixed. On a midweek fixture the calendar matters more than the sector: supply at this size of ground does not replenish, so a Tribuna Est seat bought in early October will regularly beat a Tribuna Sud seat bought in the final week. The listings that hold their price hardest are the boxes and the VIP places, of which there are fewer than 800 in the entire stadium.
The Mapei Stadium is unusual in Italian football and worth understanding before you choose. Built in 1994 and opened the following year, it was the first club-owned stadium in the country and was designed on English models, which means four close stands, no running track and sightlines that put you on top of the pitch rather than across a gap from it.
Full sector detail sits on the Mapei Stadium seating plan, and the wider fixture list for the ground is on the Mapei Stadium listing. Both are worth checking, because the ground hosts two clubs and the sector conventions are not what a visitor might assume.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribuna Sud | Home support at full volume | Lowest | 5,000 places and the home curva. Used by both Sassuolo and Reggiana supporters across the season |
| Tribuna Nord | Fiorentina supporters | Lowest | The designated visiting sector at 4,000 places, with separate access. Distributed through the visiting club |
| Tribuna Est, outer blocks | Neutral buyers and first-time visitors | Low to mid | Part of the 6,573-place longside. Quieter end of the stand, good value |
| Tribuna Est, central blocks | Full view of the shape of the game | Mid | Halfway-line position on the side opposite the main stand |
| Tribuna Ovest, lateral blocks | Families and groups | Mid to high | Main stand away from the centre. Covered, with the shortest walk to the concourse |
| Tribuna Ovest, central blocks | Central covered viewing | Highest outside hospitality | The 5,137-place main stand at the halfway line, alongside the VIP and press areas |
Neutral buyers and anyone undecided should start with the Tribuna Est. It is the largest sector in the ground, it sits opposite the main stand with the full pitch in view and it rarely carries the premium of the central Ovest blocks. Wearing Fiorentina colours outside the Tribuna Nord is not advisable at any Italian ground, so buyers travelling from Tuscany should match the sector to the scarf.
One quirk is worth knowing. A moat runs between the stands and the pitch, fed from a local river, which is a genuine curiosity rather than a viewing problem but does add a metre or two of separation in the front rows. If you want to be right on the touchline, the middle rows of the Tribuna Est serve better than the very front of any stand.
Accessibility and arrival are worth settling in advance rather than on the night. The ground was designed on English models with continuous concourses rather than the segmented terraces common in older Italian stadiums, which makes moving around easier once inside, but the sector you buy determines which entrance you use and there is no crossing between sections after the turnstiles. Check the sector on the listing against the entrance it maps to before you set off.
Hospitality at the Mapei is compact and businesslike, in keeping with a stadium built for function rather than spectacle. There are 515 VIP places and 32 boxes holding 192 between them, so fewer than 800 premium positions exist in a ground of more than twenty-one thousand.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| VIP boxes | Companies and small groups | 32 boxes in the main stand with private space and catering, holding six on average |
| VIP stand seating | Regional businesses and partners | 515 central places in the Tribuna Ovest with lounge access before and after the match |
| Corporate packages | Larger parties | Arranged through the club with seating and catering bundled together |
| Central seating without catering | Buyers who want the view, not the meal | Tribuna Ovest position at a fraction of full package pricing |
Hospitality listings behave differently from ordinary seats. They appear in ones and twos, they are released late and they hold their price rather than softening as the date approaches. If a package matters to you, treat the first suitable one you find as the one to buy.
One seasonal note. Early November in the Po valley brings fog and damp cold rather than heavy rain, and an 18:30 Monday kick-off finishes well after dark. The Tribuna Ovest is the covered option and the curve are the most exposed, which is worth weighing if you are travelling with children.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile transfer | The transfer reaches the email address on your order. Accept it before travelling and keep the phone charged for entry |
| E-ticket or PDF | Downloadable and printable. Check whether the listing states a named holder, as Italian grounds frequently issue nominative tickets |
| Local collection | Meeting point and window are set out in the listing. Ground booths open 90 minutes before kick-off, so allow for that timing |
| Courier delivery | Used for paper stock and hospitality passes. Confirm the address is reachable before matchday |
Read the listing notes before you buy rather than after, because delivery method and any name requirement are stated there. 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.
Getting there is easier than the location suggests. Reggio Stadio station sits directly opposite the ground, about 25 minutes from Reggio Emilia's main station, with buses taking around half an hour from the centre and the old town a 40-minute walk away. On a Monday night that rail link is the sensible option over driving.
1BoxOffice has been a verified marketplace since 2006 and every order carries a 150% money-back guarantee, so the process below runs the same whether you want one seat or four together.
Step1
Open the fixture listing
Go to the match page for the Matchday 10 meeting at the Mapei Stadium 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 good listing appears.
Step3
Choose your tribuna
Settle the Sud, the Est and the Ovest before you filter by price. At a ground with two longsides of very different character, the sector shapes the evening.
Step4
Filter by quantity
Set the number of seats first so the listings shown can actually satisfy your group. Blocks of four or more thin out quickly on a midweek fixture.
Step5
Read the listing notes
Sector, block, restricted view, 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 on your shortlist.
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 before you travel to Emilia-Romagna.
A final word on the date itself. This fixture was scheduled to a Monday evening rather than the nominal weekend slot that appears on the original season calendar, which is a routine Serie A broadcast decision but a genuine trap for anyone booking travel from an older listing. Confirm the day against a current source before you commit to flights or a hotel, because a night out is a great deal harder to move than a ticket.
Reggio Emilia sits on the high-speed line between Milan and Bologna, which makes this one of the more accessible grounds in Serie A for an overseas buyer. Bologna Airport is the closest gateway at under an hour by rail and coach transfer, Milan feeds the same line from the north and the Mediopadana high-speed station connects onward to the local service that stops at the ground. Mobile transfer and e-ticket delivery both work from abroad and need no Italian address.
Two planning points deserve attention on a Monday fixture. If you need seats together, buy them from a single listing rather than assembling separate purchases, because sellers hold blocks as they hold them and orders cannot be merged afterwards. And check the date carefully against a current source before booking travel: Serie A confirms exact days and kick-off times in blocks of matchdays, and this fixture was moved to Monday evening from the nominal weekend date that appears on older calendars.
The fixture only exists because Sassuolo climbed. They reached Serie A for the first time in 2013, and the first meeting at the Mapei Stadium came that December, a 1-0 Fiorentina win. What followed was eleven consecutive seasons in the top flight, a sixth-place finish in 2015/16 that took the Neroverdi into the Europa League and a Serie B title in 2025 that brought them straight back after a single season away.
Fiorentina came into it from the opposite direction, as a club with two Serie A titles, six Coppa Italia wins and a European trophy from 1961, playing in a 43,000-seat stadium in one of Italy's best-known cities. On paper the mismatch is obvious. On the pitch at this ground it has never shown: five home wins, four away wins, three draws and 19 goals against 18 across twelve matches.
What makes the fixture distinctive is how little separates the sides. Twelve matches have produced a goal difference of exactly one, no side has ever won three in a row at this ground and the lead has changed hands repeatedly across the decade. Sassuolo do carry momentum into this one, having won the last two meetings here, but the wider record gives neither club anything to lean on.
Every figure below covers Serie A meetings played at the Mapei Stadium with Sassuolo as hosts, from December 2013 to the most recent fixture in December 2025.

| Fiorentina wins | 4 |
| Draws | 3 |
| Sassuolo goals | 19 |
| Fiorentina goals | 18 |
| Biggest Sassuolo win | 3-1 |
| Biggest Fiorentina win | 1-3 |

Totals compiled from the match-by-match Serie A results below, cross-checked against league season records and an independent match archive.
The signal a buyer should take from those figures is the goals column rather than the wins column. Thirty-seven goals across twelve meetings works out at just over three a game, and only three of the twelve finished level. This has been an open, high-scoring fixture at a ground where the stands sit close to the pitch, which is a large part of why it fills whatever the league positions say.

Every score verified against two independent record sets: Serie A season results grids and a full match archive covering both clubs.
One gap in that sequence is worth reading. Nothing falls between January 2024 and December 2025 because Sassuolo spent 2024/25 in Serie B, relegated in nineteenth place after eleven straight years in the division. They came back at the first attempt as champions, and the December 2025 meeting was their first against Fiorentina on returning. The fixture has been continuous otherwise since 2013.
Their own ground in Sassuolo was too small for the top flight, so since reaching Serie A in 2013 they have used the Mapei Stadium about 30 kilometres away, shared with Reggiana.
Yes. Verified sellers list seats released outside the club's own system, and no season card, purchase history or Italian address is needed to complete the purchase.
In the Tribuna Nord, the designated visiting sector with 4,000 places and its own access. That allocation is handled by the visiting club and can carry residency restrictions.
The Tribuna Est, the largest sector at 6,573 places. It faces the main stand, keeps the whole pitch in view and sits away from both the home curva and the visiting sector.
Reggio Stadio station is directly opposite the stadium, roughly 25 minutes from Reggio Emilia's main station. Buses from the centre take about half an hour.
