Buy Venezia FC vs Bologna tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Serie A Matchday 13 fixture scheduled for Sunday, 29 November 2026 at 15:00 local time at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo in Venice. Bologna's current season calendar and the published Serie A schedule both place the match in this Sunday afternoon slot, giving buyers a clear time around which to plan water transport, accommodation and entry at a ground that holds only around 12,000 spectators.

Venezia's return to Serie A puts another full top-flight calendar back on Sant'Elena, but the Penzo remains a very different buying environment from Italy's largest grounds. The small capacity, named-ticket rules and phased home sales can narrow choice quickly, so buyers who want to compare this date with the rest of the season can use the Venezia FC tickets listing before choosing a section.
This fixture also carries a surprisingly long venue-specific history. Venezia and Bologna first met here in Serie A in December 1939, and there are 14 previous league meetings at the Penzo with Venezia as hosts before the November 2026 match. That gives buyers a real historical thread without turning the game into a derby it is not.
Bologna bring a recognised travelling support to one of the smallest grounds in the division, which makes supply the first practical issue. Even when a fixture is not a national rivalry, the Penzo has fewer standard seats to absorb visiting demand, international visitors and local buyers who wait for single-match sales. Pairs and central side seats can therefore thin out well before isolated seats at the ends.
The calendar position matters too. A 15:00 Sunday start is easier to build into a weekend in Venice than a late Sunday or Monday fixture, and the match arrives just before December brings another dense run of league and cup dates. Supporters following the visitors can compare the rest of their travel options through Bologna tickets, then judge whether Venice offers the right balance of matchday, travel and seat availability.
There is also the ground itself. The stadium sits on Sant'Elena at the eastern end of Venice, so arrival is by foot or water rather than by a normal city-centre road or metro routine. Current Venezia match guidance has used special ACTV water services around home fixtures, while visitor arrangements can be separated from home flows. That makes the timing and sector on the ticket part of the buying decision, not an afterthought.
Yes. A club membership or season ticket is not required to buy a resale listing through 1BoxOffice. Venezia's own 2026/27 match sales have used phased releases, with Supporters Card holders receiving an earlier window at reduced rates before full-price general sale for remaining home inventory. That route can work well when the section you want survives into open sale.
The resale market becomes more useful when you need a fixed quantity, a particular side of the ground or an earlier commitment for travel. A buyer arranging two or four seats together has a different problem from somebody happy with one seat anywhere, because a compact stadium creates fewer equivalent blocks. Filtering by the full group size first prevents a low single-seat price from giving a false idea of what the whole booking will cost.
Bologna supporters should treat the guest allocation as a separate product from ordinary home seating. Italian security measures can impose match-specific residency, loyalty-card or sale conditions on visitor sectors, and Venezia publish the final away instructions close to the match once the relevant authorities have confirmed them. If you intend to wear Bologna colours, choose a listing described for visiting supporters rather than assuming a home section will accept them.
Five factors shape the resale market for this 2026/27 fixture: seat position, group size, remaining supply, the fixed Sunday kick-off and the level of service attached to premium or hospitality inventory. Current Serie A market guidance places Venezia towards the more moderate end of the division, but a small ground can still produce a premium for central pairs or several seats together. The ranges below are planning bands rather than fixed quotes.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva / less central | £65–£95 | Entry-focused buyers | Usually the first place to compare when atmosphere matters more than a central angle. |
| Distinti side seating | £80–£120 | Balanced view and value | Side positions give a clearer view of both penalty areas without the top central premium. |
| Central longside | £95–£150+ | Buyers prioritising sightlines | Pairs can rise faster because equivalent adjacent seats are limited in a compact ground. |
| Tribuna premium | £120–£190+ | Comfort and stronger positioning | Compare exact block, cover and package notes before treating two premium listings as identical. |
| Hospitality / VIP | £180–£450+ | Business guests and occasion buyers | Boat transfers, lounges, catering and premium seating can sit inside different packages. |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The lowest figure on a listing page is not automatically the lowest practical cost for your group. If you need four seats together, start with quantity four and compare the total in each area. The Penzo does not have the deep upper tiers found at San Siro or the Stadio Olimpico, so there are fewer large blocks where sellers can place groups without breaking them up.
Timing can create a second pricing wave after the first rush. Once the exact television slot is settled, some season-ticket holders find they can no longer attend and release seats, while other buyers enter the market because flights and trains can finally be booked with confidence. That can increase both supply and demand at once. For a compact venue, the practical lesson is to watch the category you actually want instead of expecting every part of the ground to move in the same direction.
November also changes how buyers value cover and convenience. A lower-priced end seat may be perfectly suitable if atmosphere is the priority, while a side position or premium area can appeal more to visitors who want a simpler afternoon around the match. There is no universal value category here: the stronger purchase is the one that matches your preferred view, group size and supporter context without forcing you into a section you would not otherwise choose.
Venezia's current home categories provide a useful map of how the ground is sold: Curva Sud Groppello, Curva Nord Local, Distinti Solesin Laterali, Distinti Solesin Centrali, Tribuna Laterale Coperta, Tribuna Centrale and Tribuna VIP Nera. For this page, dedicated Penzo venue and seating-plan URLs are not linked because a current English target could not be verified reliably enough for publication. Use the section name shown on the listing and the final ticket instructions as the deciding references.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Sud Groppello | Venezia atmosphere | Low to medium | A home-led end where standing, singing and a more active supporter environment are part of the experience. |
| Curva Nord Local | End-on view and value | Low to medium | Confirm the exact match configuration because visitor arrangements can affect how the north side is allocated. |
| Distinti Solesin Laterali | Side view at a lower step | Medium | A sensible compromise for buyers who want width without paying for the most central longside positions. |
| Distinti Solesin Centrali | Balanced tactical view | Medium to high | Central side-on sightlines suit buyers who want to see both halves evenly. |
| Tribuna Centrale / VIP Nera | Premium comfort | High | Look closely at package detail because premium seating and hospitality can carry different inclusions. |
| Settore Ospiti | Bologna supporters | Match-specific | Use only listings identified for the guest sector and follow the final residency, ID, transport and colours instructions. |
Neutral buyers usually have the easiest decision in the Distinti or Tribuna side areas. They trade some of the intensity of the Curve for a more balanced view and reduce the risk of ending up in a supporter section that does not fit your colours. If you are undecided, choose the listing by section and group size rather than by the lowest headline price.
Venezia market several Matchday Experiences rather than one generic VIP product, and the difference between them can be substantial. Some place the emphasis on an unusual pre-match journey through Venice, others on a private lounge or premium seat, and some extend the event after the final whistle. The package name should therefore be reviewed as carefully as the seat category.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| La Serenissima | Visitors wanting a Venice-led matchday | A premium pre-match experience built around a mini-cruise and hosted route towards the stadium. |
| Hotel Indigo | Couples and small groups | A structured hospitality setting near Sant'Elena with food, drink and a premium matchday framework. |
| Giudecca | Corporate guests | Private-lounge style hosting with catering, local drinks, guest assistance and match access. |
| San Marco | Premium occasion buyers | A more exclusive setting with pitch-view emphasis and access linked to the stadium's upper hospitality offer. |
Rialto is another name buyers may see around Venezia hospitality, particularly as a post-match terrace concept. The key point is not to compare hospitality only by the seat. A package with a catered boat journey, lounge time or after-match access has a different cost base from a premium seat sold on its own.
For a November Sunday, hospitality can also remove some uncertainty from the day. A hosted arrival window gives you a fixed place to be before kick-off and can be useful when the normal journey to Sant'Elena feels unfamiliar. Always read the listing notes for exact meeting points, timings, food, drink and transfer inclusions before paying.
Venezia's current 2026/27 home-sale process uses named tickets and has used print-at-home delivery through the club's ticketing provider. Resale delivery can vary because the seller must pass on the format attached to the seat, so the method shown on the listing matters. Italian grounds can match the holder name against valid identification, which makes accurate buyer details important.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Named e-ticket / PDF | Confirm the name shown, print requirement if any and whether a holder change is needed before entry. |
| Mobile or electronic transfer | Complete any transfer steps before travelling and save the ticket offline once the barcode or pass is active. |
| Local or hotel collection | Confirm the collection point, identification required and latest collection time against your arrival in Venice. |
| Alternative seller handover | Follow the order-specific instructions exactly, since the handover point and timing depend on the original ticket format. |
Read the listing notes before purchase, bring valid photo ID and keep your phone charged if the order uses mobile entry. Do not assume every Italian e-ticket can simply be forwarded without a name change, because the delivery note will tell you whether the holder data has to match the person entering.
Transport deserves the same attention. Current Venezia home guidance has included special ACTV water transport for advance ticket holders, and guest-sector notices can use dedicated routes of their own. Use the instructions issued for the actual November match rather than copying the departure point or timetable from an earlier fixture.
The walk-and-water nature of the Penzo should also influence arrival time. A buyer who reaches Venice Santa Lucia shortly before kick-off still has to cross the city or use water transport to reach Sant'Elena, then complete any named-ticket and security process at the ground. Build a buffer into the day, particularly if you are collecting a ticket locally or meeting a seller representative. Arriving early also leaves time to resolve a name or delivery issue without turning it into a turnstile problem.
For overseas groups, one lead buyer should keep the order confirmation, delivery message and seat details together. Each traveller should still carry their own identification if the ticket is nominative. This is especially useful when a group is split across two bookings, because the order references may have different delivery timing even when the seats are in the same part of the stadium.

Step1
Open the fixture listing
Confirm Venezia at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on Sunday, 29 November 2026 at 15:00 before comparing sections or prices.
Step2
Create or access your account
New buyers can create an account so contact details, order messages and delivery information stay attached to the booking.
Step3
Set the full quantity
Search for the number of seats you actually need. A pair or group can price differently from isolated singles, especially in the Penzo's central areas.
Step4
Choose the right supporter context
Decide between a Venezia home area, a neutral side section or the Bologna guest allocation before allowing price to drive the choice.
Step5
Read naming and delivery notes
Confirm whether the order uses a named PDF, mobile transfer, collection or another method and supply buyer details exactly as requested.
Step6
Review the total order
Confirm the fixture, quantity, section, supporter restrictions, delivery terms and full payment total before payment.
Step7
Complete payment
Finish payment using the supported payment option and keep the confirmation available with the rest of your trip information.
Step8
Follow delivery to matchday
Use the track order service for status updates, then follow the final ticket and entry instructions when they arrive.
International buyers can purchase before arriving in Italy, with the delivery method shown on each listing. If your order is digital, complete any required transfer and save the ticket before heading to Sant'Elena. If the booking uses local collection, build the collection point into your day rather than assuming the stadium itself will resolve the handover. Seats-together requests should be settled at purchase because the ground cannot simply move a split group into adjacent places on matchday.
Travel planning should still leave room for football scheduling. The current 15:00 start is published by Bologna and appears on the current calendar, but league dates can be adjusted when scheduling changes require it. Use flexible flights and accommodation where practical, then confirm the final match information again before travelling. Venice adds one more layer: a visitor staying overnight follows different city-access considerations from a day visitor, while the trip to the Penzo is completed on foot or by water.
The historical scope here is Serie A only, Venezia as the home side and Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo as the venue. There are 14 previous league meetings in that exact scope before November 2026, so there is no need to import games from Bologna, Serie B or cup competitions. The sequence starts with a 1-1 draw on 17 December 1939 and reaches the modern era through the 4-3 Venezia win in May 2022 and Bologna's 1-0 victory in March 2025.
The early years belonged largely to Venezia. After the opening draw they won four of the next four home league meetings with Bologna, including a 2-0 result in February 1947. The pattern then turned: Bologna's 3-0 win in September 1962 began a run in which the visitors took five consecutive Penzo league victories through 2001, before Venezia broke that sequence with the seven-goal match in 2022.
That swing between long eras is what gives the match its identity. Venezia held the early advantage, Bologna controlled a five-visit stretch from the 1960s into the early 2000s and the two most recent meetings split one win each. For a buyer, it adds context to a Sunday fixture that might otherwise look like a standard date between clubs from different regions.
The table below uses only Serie A matches played at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo with Venezia as hosts. Every total is calculated from the 14 results listed in the next section, covering December 1939 to March 2025.

Kick-off is scheduled for 15:00 local time on Sunday, 29 November 2026 at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo.
No. The Supporters Card affects the club's priority sales route, while a resale purchase is made according to the listing's own entry and holder requirements.
Bologna supporters should use the designated guest-sector allocation and follow the match-specific security notice for residency, loyalty-card, transport and colours conditions.
Current Venezia guidance uses nominative tickets and ID matching, so enter buyer details accurately and carry valid photo identification to the stadium.
Yes, when the listing states the requested quantity is together. Filter by the full group size before purchase rather than expecting separate seats to be moved at the stadium.
