Roma have sold out their complete allocation of 40,000 season tickets for 2026–27 in just 21 days, with the subscription campaign closing on 29 July after launching officially on 8 July at 10:00. The club announced the sold-out status via social media with the message: "Thank you to all the fans, see you at the stadium." Roma's opening match of the season is scheduled for Monday 24 August at 20:45 at the Stadio Olimpico against Fiorentina, where Gasperini's squad will begin their campaign.
The subscription drive unfolded across multiple phases: Phase 1.1 (8–20 July) offered renewal at dedicated pricing for the most loyal supporters who had renewed in 2025–26; Phase 1.2 (20–23 July) catered to first-time subscribers from 2025–26; Phase 1.3 allowed those seeking different seating. After the renewal phase generated approximately 38,000 subscriptions, the waiting list phase launched on Monday, with roughly 25,000 people queuing virtually but only around 2,000 securing tickets. The club stated: "Thank you to all the fans who chose to stand by us. Your support is what makes the Stadio Olimpico unique and accompanies us in every challenge."
The 40,000 figure mirrors subscription levels from Roma's championship era around 2000–2001, when 42,000 tickets were sold in 1999–2000, 46,000 in the championship season, and 47,000 in 2001–02. The club had previously capped the maximum at 36,000 and then 40,000, reflecting historical barriers and pandemic impacts on attendance.

AS Roma have sold out their complete allocation of 40,000 season tickets for the 2026–27 campaign in approximately 20–21 days, with the subscription drive closing in late July. The club confirmed that roughly 37,000 came from renewals by existing holders, while approximately 2,000–3,000 new subscribers joined from the waiting list. The Friedkin Group deliberately capped sales at 40,000 to reserve Stadio Olimpico capacity for single-match ticket sales throughout the season. Il Romanista provides additional context, noting the campaign officially launched on 8 July and closed on 29 July, unfolding across three renewal phases before the waiting-list phase began. The outlet also highlights that this 40,000 figure mirrors Roma's subscription levels from their championship era around 2000–01, when the club regularly sold between 42,000 and 47,000 season tickets. Roma's next ticketing initiative, launching in August, will offer cup competition subscriptions covering four European league-phase matches and the Coppa Italia round of 16, with priority access for existing Serie A season-ticket holders.
