How to Buy ACF Fiorentina Tickets
Getting tickets to see ACF Fiorentina doesn't have to be confusing. This guide eliminates the guesswork by showing you all available options, from official club channels to hospitality packages to resellers, with clear pros, cons, and realistic expectations for each. Whether you want face-value pricing, guaranteed entry, or are willing to pay a premium, we'll help you find the right approach for your budget and match.
Official ACF Fiorentina Tickets
Stadio Artemio Franchi is currently undergoing a major renovation, with reduced capacity of around 25,000 during works. This makes tickets harder to come by than usual. The good news for international visitors: foreign tourists can purchase tickets for most sectors without needing a fan card, and the official website is available in English.
Quick reality check for visitors:
- • Juventus, Inter, and Milan matches: Very high demand, especially with reduced stadium capacity during renovation. The InViola Premium Card holders get priority. Hospitality or verified marketplaces are your realistic options
- • Mid-table Serie A fixtures: Foreign tourists residing abroad can purchase tickets for most sectors (except Curva Ferrovia) without needing a fan card. Buy directly through the official website or Vivaticket
- • Coppa Italia and early European rounds: Decent availability at face value through official channels
- • The stadium renovation has cut capacity roughly in half, so even routine matches sell out faster than in previous seasons
Fiorentina's ticketing system:
- • Tickets are sold through the official ACF Fiorentina website at acffiorentina.com/en/ticketing/men. Create a free MyFiorentina account to access ticket purchases
- • The InViola Premium Card costs 20 euros, lasts two years, and gives you priority access to ticket sales, 50% discounts on standard pricing, and exclusive promotions for home matches
- • Foreign tourists residing abroad can buy tickets without an InViola card for most sectors, making Fiorentina more accessible than many Italian clubs for visiting fans
- • Tickets are also available through authorized Vivaticket outlets and at the Fiorentina Point ticket office in Florence
How the ticket sale process works:
- • Season ticket holders (Abbonati) have automatic access to every home match
- • InViola Premium Card holders receive priority windows before general sale opens, with the best pricing
- • General sale opens after priority windows close, for matches with remaining capacity
- • For Juventus, Inter, and Milan, tickets rarely reach general sale at reduced capacity. An InViola card or alternative route is recommended
Important for international visitors:
- • The official website is available in English at acffiorentina.com/en/ticketing and accepts international credit cards
- • A valid ID (passport for international visitors) is required at the stadium gate. Italian clubs enforce name-matching on tickets
- • E-tickets are standard. Have your confirmation and ID ready on your phone
- • The Curva Ferrovia sector is restricted to InViola card holders only. All other sectors are accessible to foreign tourists
Fiorentina Ticket Strategy
- For most Serie A matches, international visitors can buy tickets directly from the official website without an InViola card. The foreign tourist exemption is a real advantage over visiting most other Italian clubs
- For Juventus, Inter, and Milan fixtures, invest in an InViola Premium Card (20 euros for two years) or look at hospitality and marketplace options. These sell out quickly with the reduced capacity
- The Curva Fiesole produces the best atmosphere but fills up fast. The Tribuna (Main Stand) and Maratona (opposite side) offer the best views and are more accessible for visitors

Stadio Artemio Franchi is in the Campo di Marte district, about 2km northeast of the historic centre. Florence is compact and walkable, and the stadium is reachable on foot from the centre in 25-30 minutes, or by train in one stop from Santa Maria Novella to Campo di Marte.

View Hotel →Florence Hotel Strategy for Fiorentina Matches
- Unlike most football cities, staying in the centre is practical here. Florence is compact, the stadium is only 2km from the Duomo, and the walk is through pleasant streets
- The Santa Croce neighbourhood is the sweet spot: close to the stadium, surrounded by restaurants and bars, and in the heart of the historic centre
- Book early during peak tourist season (April to October) and during holidays. Florence hotels fill up year-round regardless of football, and the stadium renovation reducing capacity makes matchdays busier
Getting to Stadio Artemio Franchi
Florence has no metro system, but the stadium is very accessible. Stadio Artemio Franchi is in the Campo di Marte district, served by its own train station just a 5-minute walk from the ground. The entire city centre is also within walking distance. Most visitors either walk (25-30 minutes from the Duomo) or take the train one stop from Santa Maria Novella.
Train (Recommended) (Trenitalia Regional Services)
• Firenze Campo di Marte
5-minute walk to stadium gates | Regional trains from Firenze Santa Maria Novella | The closest station to the stadium. Regional trains run frequently between Santa Maria Novella (the main station in the city centre) and Campo di Marte, taking under 5 minutes. On matchdays, follow the crowd from the station - the stadium is a short, well-signed walk.
Journey time: Under 5 minutes from Santa Maria Novella to Campo di Marte
Frequency: Regional trains run frequently throughout the day. Enhanced services on matchdays.
Cost: Standard regional train ticket. Inexpensive fare for one stop.
Tips:
- Campo di Marte is also served by Intercity and some high-speed trains. If arriving from Rome or Bologna by train, you may be able to get off at Campo di Marte instead of going to Santa Maria Novella
- After the match, the station gets busy but manageable. The walk back to the city centre (25-30 minutes) is a good alternative if you want to avoid the post-match rush
- Buy your train ticket before matchday at any Trenitalia machine in Santa Maria Novella to avoid queues
Walking from City Centre (On Foot)
• Florence Duomo to Stadio Artemio Franchi
25-30 minute walk | | A straightforward walk northeast from the historic centre through residential streets. From the Duomo, head east through the Santa Croce neighbourhood and continue to Campo di Marte.

Journey time: 25-30 minutes from the Duomo, 15-20 minutes from Santa Croce
Frequency: Available anytime
Cost: Free
Tips:
- Walking is genuinely practical here, not just a backup option. Florence is flat and compact, and the walk gives you a feel for the residential side of the city
- From the Santa Croce area, the walk is only 15-20 minutes, making pre-match drinks in that neighbourhood very convenient
- On the way back after a match, the walk takes you directly past restaurants and bars in the Santa Croce district
Matchday Traditions & Atmosphere
Pre-Match Build-Up
The Stadio Artemio Franchi sits in the Campo di Marte neighbourhood, about 2km northeast of Florence's historic centre. On matchdays, fans gather at Bar Marisa (also known as Jolly Caffe) on Viale Fanti, directly opposite the stadium entrance. Beer kiosks open up around the ground, and the smell of lampredotto sandwiches (Florence's signature tripe panino) wafts from street vendors' silver pots outside the Franchi. Many supporters spend the afternoon in the city centre, particularly around Piazza Santa Croce or Santa Maria Novella, before walking or taking the train one stop to Campo di Marte.
Inside Stadio Artemio Franchi
The Curva Fiesole is the heart of the Fiorentina support, home to the main ultra groups including Unonoveduesei (1926) and Collettivo Autonomo Viola. The ultras produce coordinated chanting led by a capo with a megaphone, flags, banners, and pyrotechnic displays throughout the match. 'Oh Fiorentina,' the club's official anthem written in 1930, is played before every home match and the entire stadium joins in. The Franchi itself is an architectural landmark, designed by Pier Luigi Nervi in 1931. The distinctive helical staircases and cantilevered roof are considered masterpieces of rationalist engineering, and the stadium is a listed building.
The Juventus Rivalry
The rivalry between Fiorentina and Juventus is one of the most intense in Italian football, rooted in regional pride and accusations of favouritism toward the Turin club. The animosity deepened over controversial cup finals and transfer market disputes, with any player moving from Florence to Turin branded a 'traitor' by the Viola faithful. Matches against Juventus produce the most hostile atmosphere of the season at the Franchi. The Derby dell'Appennino against Bologna is another fixture with genuine edge, named after the mountains separating Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna.
Post-Match
After the final whistle, fans stream toward Campo di Marte station or walk the 25-30 minutes back into the historic centre. Florence is compact, so getting back to restaurants and bars is straightforward. The Santa Croce neighbourhood is popular for post-match drinks and dinner, with plenty of bars and trattorias open late. Piazza Santo Spirito on the Oltrarno side of the Arno is another good option for evening food and drinks.
Visitor Tips
- Arrive at least 60-90 minutes early. With reduced capacity during renovation, gates can get congested
- The Curva Fiesole offers the most intense atmosphere but is dominated by ultra groups. The Tribuna or Maratona stands are better for first-time visitors who want a good view with atmosphere
- Florence is a walking city. The stadium is a pleasant 25-30 minute walk from the Duomo through residential streets, or one train stop from Santa Maria Novella
Pre-Match Bars & Dining in Florence
Florence is a food city first and a football city second, so the pre-match experience here is different from most European stadiums. The Campo di Marte neighbourhood around the Franchi is residential with limited bar options, but the city centre is only a short walk or one train stop away. Most fans either grab a lampredotto sandwich from the vendors outside the stadium or spend the afternoon eating and drinking in the centre before walking to the ground.
Bar Marisa (Jolly Caffe)
Directly opposite the stadium entrance on Viale Fanti
Atmosphere: Traditional Italian bar, Pre-match institution, Casual
The unofficial headquarters for pre-match Fiorentina fans since decades. Old-school Italian bar where the regulars gather to debate tactics, players, and the state of the club. Vintage team line-ups and Batigol-era photos on the walls. Beer kiosks open up nearby on matchdays. This is where to come if you want the authentic matchday experience right at the ground.
Entry notes: Open to all. Gets very busy on matchdays. Arrive early for a coffee or beer before the crowds build. Located next to the club's fan store.
The Lion's Fountain Irish Pub
City centre (Borgo Albizi), 25-minute walk from stadium
Atmosphere: Irish pub, Live sports, International crowd
Florence's go-to sports pub since 1995, showing Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Champions League on multiple screens. Serves Guinness, Harp, and other draught beers alongside pub food including burgers, fish and chips, and chicken wings. A reliable spot for international football fans visiting Florence who want to catch another match before or after the Fiorentina game.
Entry notes: Open to all fans. Popular with international visitors and expats. Located in the Santa Croce area, so combine with a walk to the stadium through the neighbourhood.
Finisterrae
City centre (Piazza Santa Croce), 20-minute walk from stadium
Atmosphere: Restaurant-bar, Outdoor terrace, Piazza views
A restaurant and bar on Piazza Santa Croce with an outdoor terrace facing the Basilica of Santa Croce. Not a football pub, but an excellent spot for a proper Florentine pre-match meal or aperitivo in one of the city's most beautiful squares. Traditional Tuscan dishes and pizza alongside drinks. This is the Florence tourist experience combined with a football trip.
Entry notes: Open daily. Book a terrace table on matchdays if you want the piazza view. More of a dining spot than a bar, but the aperitivo culture makes it work for pre-match drinks.
Pre-Match Strategy in Florence
- Bar Marisa is the only proper matchday gathering spot near the stadium. For a traditional pre-match atmosphere right at the ground, this is it
- For a more memorable pre-match experience, spend the afternoon in Santa Croce or the historic centre and walk to the stadium. Florence is too good a food city to rush
- Lampredotto (tripe sandwich) from the street vendors outside the Franchi is the signature matchday food. It's a Florence institution, not just football food
