Anyone been to Stadio Olimpico?
« on: December 30, 2023, 09:48:39 AM »
Being fun parents, we're taking the kids to Rome for a few days to eat their bodyweight in Pizza, Pasta and Gelato as well as watch England play a game that they might actually win.  Being disorganised parents, we completely forgot to book match tickets. 

Looking at the official ticketing sight, tickets in the side stands are firstly very limited (good for IFR) and also 95 euros or so, with the kids 50% off of that it's still 330 euros of tickets.  We'll likely plump for tickets in the corners, or behind the posts at 150 euros for us as a Family.

But, big question and what might change the appetite to double ticket spend, has anyone here been and are the stands as far behind the posts as it looks on the seating plans or is a seat midway up in the corners going to be a decent view like it would be at Twickenham?

Love it or hate it, Twickenham doesn't really have any 'bad' seats; you feel pretty close to the pitch wherever you're sat unlike, say, the Stade de France which feels miles from anything with the athletics track spacing around it (albeit that might have changed - I was last there in 2007).

Its an oval stadium so has quite larger areas between the pitch & the seats on all sides. I think one side has some extra seating in that space?
All seats are reasonable view in IMO.
