Roma's legions of fans head for the stadium en masse, so it's a good idea to sort out your match tickets in advance. You may find that the most popular - and cheapest - areas, the Curva Sud, Distinti Sud and Curva Nord, are sold out to season ticket holders.

The best places to buy tickets in person are the two branches of Roma's official merchandising outlet, AS Roma Store. These are located at Piazza Colonna, 360 (off via del Corso) and via Appia Nuova, 130 (Metro Re di Roma). There are also ticket offices at the Stadio Olimpico (should be open from the morning on a match day).

On the internet, you can buy tickets from Listicket, although they may only supply tickets for the expensive sectors, the Tribuna Tevere and Tribuna Monte Mario. However, the site is efficient and has English translations.

Check the club website (www.asromacalcio.it) or the ticket website for details of when the tickets will go on sale. For some big matches queues will build up outside the shops, so you should be prepared to move fast. Click on the 'Botteghino' link, and you'll find details of home matches. Look under the heading 'Modalita di vendita' for the date and time that tickets will go on sale.
