How to Get Champions League and Europa League Tickets in Italy

Watching football in Italy is a bucket-list trip for many. The only way to make journey even better? Watch Italian teams in European competition.

There is something unique about football under the floodlights in Italy. San Siro, the Stadio Olimpico and the Stadio Diego Maradona come into their own, the atmosphere crackling as the Champions League anthem plays.

And what of watching Como at the Stadio Sinigaglia? One of the most picturesque grounds in football hosting club football’s premier tournament for the first time, with Manchester United and two-time defending champions Paris Saint-Germain heading to the lake this season.

The best aspect of watching European football in Italy? It can be surprisingly accessible and affordable.

Tickets for Inter Milan’s home Champions League fixtures start as low as €14 for adults, €8 for under-30s and €6 for under-18s for a seat in the Terzo Anello Verde (the third tier), or €45 for adults for the Primo Anello Blu. To buy a ticket simply register on Inter’s website.

The same applies to Roma, with tickets for Champions League fixtures against Slovan Bratislava, Sporting and Lille available to members. A ticket in the Curva Sud for the game against the Slovak champions is €45 for adults, while a seat in the Disinti Nord Est is €55 for adults and €30 for under-16s.

Tickets for Como are also available on the club’s website but with this being their first European adventure and the stadium capacity reduced to around 12,000 for the Champions League, demand is high. For the opening fixture against Leipzig, directors gave their tickets away to the club’s oldest fans. It is worth setting up an alert on Como’s official site to be notified when they go on sale.

Napoli have a slightly different system, with tickets going on sale in stages. The first tranche is available only to season ticket holders, followed by sales to Napoli Fan Stadium Card holders and then Napoli members, with the remaining tickets then going on general sale. The club’s website has all the details in terms of dates and times.

As far as the Europa League is concerned, tickets for AC Milan’s home games are available online to season ticket holders and members. If you are not a member, simply register online.

Tickets for the fixture against Ferencvaros on November 5 start at €19 for adults in the Terzo Anello Rosso, while the Secondo Anello Verde will set you back €24 for adults and €14 for under-16s.

Milan have a limit of four tickets per buyer, as do Juventus, whose tickets, like Napoli’s, go on sale in stages.

Season ticket holders have priority access, followed by members. Unlike other clubs, you have to pay to join, with Juventus membership starting at €24.

Europa League tickets are almost always on general sale. Using the January fixture against Real Sociedad as an example, the cheapest adult ticket costs €60 in the Distinti Est 2 or €35 for under-14s.

Tickets to Atalanta home games in the Europa Conference League are far cheaper, starting at €20 in the Curva Sud and the Curva Nord for adults, or €14 for under-16s.
