Where to buy Italy vs Turkey tickets?
Tickets for the Bursa leg are first made available through the Turkish Football Federation's official ticketing channels, with priority typically given to members before any remaining allocation goes to general sale. Official FIGC (Italian Football Federation) channels are the equivalent first stop for the Bologna return leg.
Ticombo is your way to go if the listings on the official site are sold out. It lists a wide range of seating options for the opening game at the Atatürk Sports Complex in Bursa, as well as listings for the return leg at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara in Bologna.
A few things worth knowing about buying tickets for this pairing:
- Official general sale – opens after member priority windows close, typically closer to each matchday
- Verified listings – Ticombo sources tickets from a range of sellers, giving buyers a wider pool of inventory once official allocations are gone
- Away tickets – Bologna allocations for travelling Turkey fans are handled through FIGC channels and can be limited
- Secondary market – Ticombo is your way to go if the listings on the official site are sold out
Given how packed this run of fixtures is for Italy, early booking is recommended for both legs of this pairing.
How much are Italy vs Turkey tickets?
Official pricing for the Bursa leg is set through the Turkish Football Federation's ticketing channels, with the full range from standard to premium seating available at face value while allocation lasts. Official FIGC pricing applies for the Bologna leg in the same way.
Ticombo is your way to go if the listings on the official site are sold out, and here is a rough guide to what to expect there:
- Cheapest seats (Bursa): from around €40 to €50, typically in the upper tiers behind the goals at the Atatürk Sports Complex
- Mid-range seats (Bursa): central seating along the halfway line, at a noticeably higher price point
- Bologna return leg: prices at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara are expected to track similarly, with demand building as the fixture approaches
As with any fixture in a competitive group, prices can shift as matchday approaches, so locking in your seat sooner rather than later is generally the safer option if you are working to a specific budget.
