Buy Torino vs AC Milan tickets for the Serie A opener at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Sunday 23 August 2026, kicking off at 20:45. This is matchday one of the 2026/27 season and the fixture the calendar handed Milan to start with, in a 28,177-seat ground that has produced more draws than either club would like to admit. Seventeen of the forty-two league meetings here have ended level.

The ground carries the name of the Grande Torino, the side lost in the Superga air disaster of 1949, though that team never actually played here. Their home was the Stadio Filadelfia, fifteen minutes away. This stadium opened in 1933, hosted Torino from the 1960s until 1990, sat largely unused while the club decamped to the Stadio delle Alpi, then took them back after a rebuild for the 2006 Winter Olympics. Anyone weighing up Torino tickets for the season should know the opener is the one that clears first.
Opening night at a ground this size against a club with Milan's travelling reach is a supply problem before it is anything else. There is no form guide, no league table and no second chance to watch a season begin.
Start with the visitors. Milan carry one of the largest supporter bases in world football and a domestic following that is not confined to Lombardy, so their away fixtures draw buyers from across Italy and well beyond it. Supporters looking at AC Milan tickets across the season will find the northern trips the ones that go earliest, and a Turin opener sits at the front of that queue.
The visiting allocation is the constraint. Away supporters at the Olimpico occupy a two-tier block in the south-eastern corner, wedged between the Distinti Granata and the Curva Primavera rather than given a full end. At a 28,177-seat ground that corner is not large, and it is spoken for long before anything reaches general sale.
Torino's own demand is steadier than outsiders assume. The club runs a full season ticket campaign each summer and the Curva Maratona keeps a committed core, which means the sellable pool for any single fixture is smaller than the headline capacity suggests. Add a Sunday evening kickoff built for broadcast and casual walk-up buying stops being realistic.
Two other fixtures will price higher across the season. The Derby della Mole against Juventus in April is the one Turin marks on the calendar first, and it commands a premium this match will not reach. Opening night is different in kind rather than degree, because nobody waits to see how the season is going before committing to it.
Usually yes, though the club can change that fixture by fixture. Torino sell season tickets first through a campaign that opens in early summer, then release remaining seats through their ticketing partner, two club shops in the city, approved sellers and the box office at the ground.
The Cuore Granata fidelity card is the club's supporter scheme. It is not required for an ordinary match, but it buys priority on high-demand fixtures and it is the mechanism the club uses when a game is classified as higher risk and sales are restricted. A visiting club with Milan's profile is exactly the sort of fixture where those restrictions get applied.
Italian league tickets are nominative. The seat is registered to a named person at purchase, identification is needed to buy or collect in person and the same document has to match at the turnstile. Buying under one name for a group and sorting it out on the day is not a plan that survives contact with an Italian steward.
A verified resale marketplace covers what those rules leave out: overseas buyers, groups who fixed their travel months ago and anyone outside the club's own priority ladder. Listings come from season ticket holders and card holders who cannot attend, which is why inventory keeps surfacing after the club's channels have gone quiet.
Five variables set the price. Seat location leads, because the difference between a corner of the Primavera and a central seat in the Tribuna Granata is substantial at this ground. After that come demand for an opening-weekend fixture, the Sunday evening slot, the competition context of a season starting against one of the league's largest clubs and the hospitality tier if you take that route.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curve, behind the goals | £75 – £135 | Atmosphere over sightline | Curva Maratona and Curva Primavera. Lowest entry point, furthest from the halfway line |
| Distinti Granata, sideline | £130 – £230 | A full view of both penalty areas | The eastern side stand. Covered, pillar-free, sound value against the main stand |
| Tribuna Granata, central | £220 – £390 | Halfway-line viewing | The western main stand with the benches, press and boxes above. Clears earliest |
| Premium seating | £350 – £600+ | Couples and small groups marking the occasion | Central Tribuna seating with faster entry and catering attached |
| Hospitality and VIP | £550 – £1,100+ | Corporate guests and once-a-season visitors | Executive box and lounge packages in the main stand, limited per match |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Run one comparison before committing. The visit of Inter Milan in March is the other fixture that brings a large travelling support to this ground, and it usually prices in the same band. If the occasion matters more than the opponent, pricing the two side by side is worth the five minutes.
The Olympic rebuild added a roof and a third tier of boxes while keeping the 1930s bones, and the result is a ground with no pillars and no genuinely poor sightline. What varies is height, atmosphere and how close you sit to a segregated section.
The Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino seating plan shows how the four sides relate to each other, including where the away block cuts into the south-eastern corner. Two minutes there saves a poor decision made on price alone.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Maratona | Torino supporters who want the noise | Lower | The northern end and home of the organised support, reached from the Corso Agnelli and Corso Sebastopoli gates |
| Curva Primavera | Home fans at the opposite end | Lower | The southern end, named for the club's youth sides. Quieter than the Maratona and usually the lowest-priced home block |
| Away sector | The AC Milan allocation | Lower to mid | A two-tier corner block in the south-east, fenced from the home sections. Milan colours belong here only |
| Distinti Granata | Neutral buyers and first-time visitors | Mid | The eastern side. Clean sideline angle, full cover, well clear of both ends |
| Tribuna Granata, central | Buyers prioritising the view | Upper | The western main stand with the dugouts below and the media tier above. Central, covered, priced accordingly |
| Premium and executive seating | Hospitality buyers and corporate groups | Premium | Boxes and premium blocks built into the main stand during the Olympic rebuild |
One quirk explains why the ground feels larger than Torino's average crowd. It was built as a municipal stadium and shared with Juventus for decades, right up until they left for their own ground in 2011, so it was sized for two clubs rather than one. That legacy is useful for a buyer: there is more variety of seat here than at a purpose-built 28,000-seat stadium, and the price ladder between blocks is correspondingly wide.
Neutral buyers should default to the Distinti Granata. It sits along the touchline, keeps you away from both segregated ends and costs a good deal less than the equivalent row opposite. If the ground's character is what you came for, the Maratona is where Torino's support concentrates, though it is no longer the wall of noise it was in the 1970s and 1980s. Fuller detail on the venue sits on the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino page.
Hospitality here is concentrated in the western main stand, where the 2005 rebuild added a tier of executive boxes above the existing structure. That is a finite footprint rather than a wing of the stadium, so the premium inventory does not scale with demand the way it can at a larger ground.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Executive boxes | Companies hosting private groups | Enclosed space in the main stand with its own service and a central view of the pitch |
| Tribuna d'Onore seating | Guests who want the most central seating without a full box | The most central blocks of the western stand, at the top of the club's own price ladder |
| Premium seat packages | Small groups marking an occasion | Central covered seating with catering and a separate entrance away from the general turnstiles |
| Family and private boxes | Groups wanting a room rather than a row | Sold at the upper end of the club's published range, typically booked well ahead |
The practical point is timing. Because the hospitality footprint is small and much of it is committed across a season, single-match packages that reach the resale market usually come from holders who cannot attend a specific date. On an opening fixture against Milan, that is a thin supply.
If hosting is the reason for the trip rather than an upgrade you might add later, treat it as the first decision and build the rest of the itinerary around what you can actually secure.
Italian entry rules make the delivery method matter more than it does elsewhere, because the name on the ticket has to match the document you present. Settle the route and any personalisation requirement before you pay.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket transfer | That the seller can reassign the seat into your name and that you can accept it on a phone you will carry into the ground |
| E-ticket sent by email | Whether the file arrives already personalised and whether a printed copy is expected alongside the digital version |
| Collection in Turin | The meeting point, the collection window and which document the handover requires |
| Courier to a local address | That your hotel will sign for the package and that dispatch leaves room before you travel |
Read the listing notes properly, because they carry the delivery timeline and any naming requirement attached to that particular seat. Bring valid photo identification. Charge your phone before you leave, since mobile entry is the default and the tram out to Via Filadelfia is not where you want to find out about a flat battery.

Step1
Open the fixture listing
Go to the match page for the Serie A opener on Sunday 23 August 2026 and look at live availability. Inventory moves through the day as season ticket holders release seats, so a thin search in the morning is not the final word.
Step2
Set your account up first
Take a minute to create an account before you start shortlisting. On a fixture this tight, entering details after you have found the right pair is how you lose them.
Step3
Choose the stand before the price
At the Olimpico the stand decides your angle, your neighbours and how close you sit to a fenced section. Pick the area you want, then let the budget follow.
Step4
Read the listing notes in full
The notes carry what the headline price does not: whether seats are together, how delivery works, whether the ticket needs a name attached and whether any restriction applies.
Step5
Fix your quantity at the outset
Filter for the number of seats you need before you browse. Combining two pairs from different sellers rarely lands you in the same row and often puts you in different stands entirely.
Step6
Enter names exactly as they appear on ID
Serie A seats are registered to named holders. Spelling that matches the passport or identity card of the person attending prevents the single most common problem at Italian turnstiles.
Step7
Complete payment on a secure page
Payment runs through an encrypted page carrying McAfee Secure protection. Written confirmation of the seats, the delivery route and the expected timeline follows as soon as the order settles.
Step8
Follow the order through to handover
Use the track order tool to watch progress from confirmation to delivery. Raise anything unclear in the week before the match rather than on the morning of it.
Turin is a straightforward city to reach and an underrated one to stay in. The airport connects to the centre by rail in under twenty minutes, Porta Nuova and Porta Susa put you on the national network and the stadium sits around seven kilometres out from the middle of town on Via Filadelfia. Tram routes 4 and 10 run out to the ground, with several bus lines stopping within a ten-minute walk.
On delivery, mobile transfer is usually the cleanest route for overseas buyers because the ticket lands in an app rather than a letterbox, provided the seller can reassign it into the attending person's name. Treat the published kickoff as provisional until nearer the date, since Serie A slots move for broadcast and a 20:45 Sunday finish rules out a same-night departure. Anyone building a longer trip around the visitors could pair this with Milan's other Turin away day at Juventus, which falls a fortnight later in the same city.
Forty-two Serie A meetings have been played between these clubs at this ground, and seventeen of them have finished level. Better than four in ten. For a fixture that has spanned six decades and several eras of Italian football, that is an unusually stubborn pattern, and it holds across the good Torino sides and the poor ones alike.
The record around those draws splits almost evenly: thirteen Torino wins, twelve for Milan, fifty-one goals against fifty-four. What the aggregate hides is how the results have clustered. Torino beat Milan here in February 1986 and then did not manage it again until April 2019, a run of twelve matches and thirty-three years. Since that barrier came down the balance has flipped hard the other way.
A sixteen-year gap sits in the middle of that record. Torino left for the Stadio delle Alpi in 1990 and did not come back until the Olympic rebuild was finished, so nine of their home meetings with Milan were played somewhere else entirely and fall outside the figures on this page. The fixture effectively has two separate lives at this ground, one ending in 1989 and one beginning in 2007.
The last eight meetings at this ground have gone five wins to Torino, one draw and two to Milan, which is not the split anyone would predict from the clubs' relative size. The 0-7 sits inside that stretch as a reminder of what the gap can look like on a bad night. That combination, a home side who have become genuinely awkward here and a visiting side capable of ending the argument in twenty minutes, is what makes an opening-round ticket worth more than the fixture list implies.
Every figure below covers Serie A matches only, played at the stadium now called the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino with Torino as hosts. Torino home matches against Milan at the Stadio Filadelfia and at the Stadio delle Alpi are excluded, as are all fixtures at San Siro and all cup ties.

Every result was cross-referenced against at least two independent sources before publication, including the venue for each match.
Not for a standard fixture, though the club can limit higher-risk matches to card holders. A resale seat requires no scheme of its own.
Two to four weeks out, once season ticket holders settle their plans and begin returning seats. Waiting until the last few days on a fixture like this usually costs more.
In a two-tier corner block in the south-east, between the Distinti Granata and the Curva Primavera. Visiting colours should not be worn in any other sector.
Most seats arrive by mobile transfer or as an emailed e-ticket, with collection and courier options on some listings. Each listing states its method before you pay.
Around seven kilometres south of the centre on Via Filadelfia. Trams 4 and 10 run out to it, and several bus routes stop within a ten-minute walk.
