How to Buy San Siro Tickets: Complete Guide

Official Ticket Channels for Football Matches

San Siro hosts home matches for both AC Milan and Inter Milan. Each club manages its own ticket sales through separate platforms:

AC Milan Tickets

• Official website: tickets.acmilan.com — the primary and safest channel
• AC Milan app: available on iOS and Android with mobile ticketing
• Casa Milan: the club's headquarters in Via Aldo Rossi 8 (physical ticket office)
• Authorised resellers: Vivaticket for selected matches

Inter Milan Tickets

• Official website: inter.it/tickets — the safest way to purchase
• Inter app: digital tickets directly on your smartphone
• Inter Store Milano: Galleria Passarella 2 (physical sales point)
• Authorised resellers: Vivaticket network

Price Ranges for Football Matches

Prices vary significantly depending on the match importance, opponent and seating sector:

Sector	Standard Match	Top Match / Derby
Third Tier (Terzo Anello)	€20–€45	€50–€90
Second Tier (Secondo Anello)	€40–€80	€80–€150
First Tier (Primo Anello)	€70–€150	€150–€300+
VIP / Hospitality	€200–€500	€500–€1,500+

The Derby della Madonnina (Milan vs Inter) is always the most expensive and hardest ticket to get — prices can be 3-4x a standard match.

Concert Tickets at San Siro

For concerts and live events, tickets are sold through major ticketing platforms:

• Ticketmaster Italy (ticketmaster.it) — the primary platform for international artists
• TicketOne (ticketone.it) — Italy's largest ticketing service, used for most concerts
• Vivaticket (vivaticket.com) — alternative platform for some events

Concert prices range from €40–€60 for distant seats to €150–€300+ for floor/pit areas. Check our Milan Events Calendar 2026 for upcoming shows.

When to Buy: Timing Tips

• Football: tickets typically go on sale 2-4 weeks before a match. Season ticket holders get first access, then club members, then general sale.
• Big matches (Derby, Champions League): sell out within hours — be ready on the exact sale date and time
• Concerts: major artists sell out in minutes. Set reminders for the on-sale date and consider pre-sale access through fan clubs or credit card promotions
• Off-peak Serie A matches: often available up to match day, especially third-tier seats

Choosing Your Seat: Best Sectors

San Siro has a capacity of approximately 75,000 spread across three tiers. Here's what to expect from each:

First Tier (Primo Anello)

Closest to the pitch with the best views of the action. The Primo Anello Rosso Centrale (central red section) offers the finest sightlines. Premium price but an unforgettable experience.

Second Tier (Secondo Anello)

Excellent panoramic views of the entire pitch. Many regulars consider this the best value for money — high enough to see tactical patterns, close enough to feel the intensity. The Secondo Anello Verde (green section, behind the goals) is where the ultras sit.

Third Tier (Terzo Anello)

The most affordable option. You're quite high up, but the atmosphere in the iconic third tier is electric. Great for a first-time experience on a budget.

How to Avoid Scams

• Never buy from street sellers outside the stadium — counterfeit tickets are common
• Avoid unofficial resale sites with inflated prices and no guarantees
• Check the URL carefully — official sites only (acmilan.com, inter.it, ticketmaster.it, ticketone.it)
• Be wary of social media sellers — if the price seems too good, it probably is
• Use credit card payment for buyer protection in case of issues

Match Day: Getting to San Siro

Once you have your tickets, getting to the stadium is straightforward. The Metro M5 (purple line) stops directly at San Siro Stadio. From our apartments, the stadium is just a 10-minute walk. For the full transport guide, see San Siro to Duomo by Metro.

Practical Tips

• Arrive early: gates open 2 hours before football matches, 3 hours before concerts
• ID required: bring the same ID used for ticket purchase — random checks at entry
• Digital tickets: download to your phone beforehand (signal can be poor near the stadium with 75,000 people)
• No large bags: bags larger than 30×20 cm are not permitted inside
• Weather: the third tier has a partial roof but lower sections are exposed — check the weather forecast and dress accordingly
