The Turin Derby: How to Attend Juventus vs Torino
Everything you need to know about attending the Derby della Mole
What You're Walking Into
The Derby della Mole is named after the Mole Antonelliana, Turin's iconic landmark, and it is one of Italian football's most emotionally intense fixtures. Juventus is the dominant force - Italy's most successful club with decades of domestic and European success. Torino is the historic underdog whose identity was shaped by the 1949 Superga air disaster, which killed the legendary Grande Torino squad. The power imbalance makes this rivalry deeply personal for Torino fans, who see Juve as the establishment club backed by the Agnelli family's industrial wealth. The two stadiums are approximately 7 km apart, with Allianz Stadium in the Vallette area in the northwest and Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino near the Lingotto district in the south.
Getting Tickets - The Honest Truth
The Derby della Mole is a sell-out at both grounds, but the routes differ. At Allianz Stadium (41,507 capacity), Juventus's membership tiers absorb most tickets before general sale. At Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino (28,000 capacity), the smaller ground means fewer total tickets but Torino's less extensive membership base means general sale is sometimes reached. For both fixtures, hospitality or verified secondary marketplaces are the safest options for visitors without existing memberships. Plan well ahead - this is Serie A's most emotionally charged city derby.
Attending at Allianz Stadium (Juventus Hosting)
Juventus uses the My Ticket Shop platform at tickets.juventus.com. Three membership tiers - J1897, Black & White, and Stadium - get sequential priority access. For the derby, J1897 members typically absorb all available tickets, and it rarely reaches general sale. You do not need a Juventus Card or Italian ID to purchase, and digital tickets are standard. Maximum 4 tickets per person. The free account level gets you into the queue for general sale, but for the derby, do not count on it.

Attending at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino (Torino Hosting)
Torino sells tickets through Vivaticket at torinofc.vivaticket.it. A Cuore Granata fan card (around 15 euros, valid for ten years) is required to purchase. Season ticket holders get first access, then general sale opens for cardholders. The derby is Torino's highest-demand fixture, and tickets sell fast once released. The 28,000 capacity and Torino's passionate local fanbase mean competition is real, but earlier purchase windows are more accessible than at Juventus. The ticket office on Corso Sebastopoli is open Monday to Saturday for in-person purchases. The Vivaticket website is primarily in Italian but navigable with browser translation.

What NOT to Do
- ✗Never sit in a Torino section wearing Juventus colours or vice versa - the Derby della Mole is one of Italian football's most intense city rivalries, and wearing the wrong colours in the wrong section will cause serious problems
- ✗Don't buy tickets from touts outside either stadium - Serie A tickets are personalized with your name, and mismatched IDs mean you will be turned away at the gate
- ✗Don't underestimate the ID check - Italian stadiums enforce personalized ticket rules strictly, especially for derbies. Bring your passport
Hospitality - Your Most Realistic Route
Hospitality is the most reliable route into the Derby della Mole for visitors without existing memberships. Juventus's modern Allianz Stadium has extensive premium infrastructure. Torino's hospitality options are more limited but available through the club and authorized partners. Book as early as possible - derby hospitality sells out months in advance.

Allianz Stadium (Vallette, northwest Turin) and Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino (near Lingotto, south Turin) are approximately 7 km apart, with the city centre roughly between them. Staying in central Turin (around Porta Nuova station or Piazza San Carlo) gives you convenient access to both.
Getting to the Stadium
to allianz
Tram 9 from Porta Nuova to Piazza Massaua, then a 10-minute walk. Bus 72 also reaches the stadium area. From central Turin, allow 30-40 minutes total. There is no metro station near Allianz Stadium. On derby day, extra tram services run but they are extremely crowded.
to olimpico
Metro Line 1 to Lingotto station, then a 15-minute walk along Corso Sebastopoli. Alternatively, bus 17 stops closer to the ground. From Porta Nuova, the metro takes about 10 minutes. The walk from Lingotto station is through a residential area and is straightforward.
general
Turin's public transport is run by GTT. Single journey tickets are available from tabacchi shops and metro stations. On derby day, services run more frequently but are packed. Allow 30-40 minutes extra compared to a normal matchday. Do not drive - parking near both stadiums is limited and road closures make it impractical.

At the Ground
atmosphere
Both clubs prepare choreographies, banners, and tifos specifically for the derby. At Allianz Stadium, the Curva Sud drives the Juventus atmosphere; at Stadio Olimpico, the Curva Maratona houses Torino's ultras. The Superga disaster is a constant emotional undercurrent, and any perceived disrespect to that memory escalates tensions.
pre match
allianz fixture: When Juventus host, bars along Corso Gaetano Scirea are Juventus territory. Torino away fans are escorted by police from designated gathering points, with very limited mixing of fanbases.
olimpico fixture: When Torino host, bars along Corso Sebastopoli are Torino fan zones, and Juventus away fans are escorted from the Lingotto area. The pre-match atmosphere is more intense and less corporate than Allianz Stadium.
inside stadium
allianz: The Curva Sud drives the atmosphere. Away fans are in the Settore Ospiti in the upper northeast corner, fully separated with buffer zones. Security screening is thorough - arrive at least 45 minutes early.
olimpico: The Curva Maratona is Torino's ultra section and the source of the derby's most passionate moments. Away supporters are in a separated Curva section. The 28,000 capacity concentrates the noise effectively.
neutral advice
Safe for tourists who prepare properly, but demands more awareness than a typical Serie A match. Avoid wearing either team's colours in areas you are unsure about. The city centre (Via Roma, Piazza San Carlo) is neutral territory. In hospitality at Allianz Stadium you can be relaxed; at Stadio Olimpico, hospitality areas are smaller and closer to the general crowd.
visiting fan advice
Away sections at both grounds are well-policed and safe, with police escorting fans to and from the stadiums. Do not attempt to enter home sections.
police presence
Italian police classify the Derby della Mole as a high-risk fixture. Expect significant police presence at both stadiums, on transport routes, and in the city centre. Road closures around both stadiums are typical on derby day. Follow all police directions without argument.
post match
Away fans are held inside for 30-45 minutes at both stadiums - standard for Italian derbies and non-negotiable. At Allianz Stadium, exit toward Piazza Massaua for trams and buses. At Stadio Olimpico, walk to Lingotto metro or Nizza-Millefonti tram stops. Head to the city centre, which is neutral ground.
Where to Sit
ticket accessibility
Torino's smaller membership base makes their home fixture slightly more accessible through official channels, especially if you obtain a Cuore Granata fan card early. Juventus's tiered membership system means the derby rarely reaches general sale. However, Juventus has more hospitality capacity due to Allianz Stadium's modern build. On secondary markets, both fixtures are priced at a premium, with Juventus typically commanding higher prices.
atmosphere comparison
Two very different experiences. Allianz Stadium is modern, comfortable, and loud for the derby - the Curva Sud creates a wall of sound and the choreographies are spectacular. But it is a purpose-built arena with a corporate feel in places. Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino is older, rougher around the edges, and more authentic. The Curva Maratona for the derby, with the emotional weight of Torino's history and the underdog fury against their dominant neighbours, creates an atmosphere that is harder to replicate. Both are excellent, but they appeal to different sensibilities.
neutral recommendation
For a neutral visitor wanting the full Derby della Mole experience, the Allianz Stadium fixture (Juventus hosting) is the easier, more comfortable option with better facilities and more hospitality availability. The football will likely be higher quality. However, if you want the more emotionally authentic Italian football experience, attending at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino is the choice. Torino hosting the derby is something special - the underdog fury, the Superga tributes, the neighbourhood atmosphere. It is rawer and less polished, but more memorable.
hospitality comparison
Juventus's hospitality at Allianz Stadium is a world-class operation - modern lounges, premium dining, and executive seating in a ground built for it. Torino's hospitality at Stadio Olimpico is more modest, with fewer tiers and a simpler setup through Vivaticket. The price difference reflects this. If budget allows, Juventus's premium experience is among the best in Italy. Torino offers better value and a more intimate setting.

Insider Tips
- The Torino home fixture is the more emotionally intense experience. Torino fans treat the derby as their season-defining match regardless of league position, and the atmosphere in the Curva Maratona is something you will not experience at Allianz Stadium
- Italian ticket personalization is strictly enforced for derbies. Your name must match the ticket, and ID is checked at the gate. Bring your passport, not a photocopy
- Away fans are held for 30-45 minutes post-match at both grounds. Factor this into your evening plans. If you need to catch a train from Porta Nuova, leave at least 2 hours between the scheduled final whistle and your departure
- Piazza San Carlo in central Turin is neutral territory and one of Italy's most elegant squares. It is a great post-match destination regardless of which side you attended. The cafes and bars stay open late on derby nights
- The Superga Basilica, where the 1949 air disaster occurred, is a 30-minute drive from central Turin. Visiting before the derby adds emotional context to the fixture, especially if you are attending the Torino side
