Roma’s club crest indeed features a depiction of the legendary founders of Rome, the twins Romulus and Remus, who were said to have been reared by wolves. AS Roma fans are a particularly ravenous pack whenever Roma tickets go on sale, making the image a fitting one for the club. Roma have participated at the top-tier of Italian football for all of their existence apart from one season. Roma are currently competing in Serie A for almost 60 consecutive seasons.

Roma hold three Serie A titles, 1941–42, 1982–83 and 2000–01. They have triumphed eight times in the Coppa Italia. In Europe, Roma won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1960–61, and have finished as runners-up in both the European Cup in 1983–84, and the UEFA Cup in 1990–91.

AS Roma’s home ground is the Stadio Olimpico, which they share with SS Lazio, Rome’s other football club. The Stadio Olimpico’s 82,000 capacity is the second largest in Italy, with only Milan’s San Siro having a larger capacity. It is fortunate that Roma are able to utilize this large stadium, as demand for Roma football tickets never dies in Rome, particularly Roma Lazio tickets. Currently AS Roma hold the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana in domestic football. The idea of traveling to Rome, wandering the near-mythic avenues, admiring the Colosseum and the many fountains and squares, and crowning the trip with a visit to the Stadio Olimpico for a football match in this most perfect of cities, is one which is impossible to resist. Buy Roma tickets and you buy tickets to a whole otherworldly experience.

Associazione Sportiva Roma was founded in 1927 by Italo Foschi, when three Roman football clubs merged; Roman, Alba-Audace and Fortitudo. The merger provided Rome a new dynamic, wherein the capital was able to challenge the big clubs from up north for honours, but one club, Lazio, resisted the merger, and went on to become Roma’s local rivals.

From the early days at the Motovelodromo Appio stadium Roma moved to an all-wooden stadium in late 1929, and the following year they began to achieve their potential in the Italian football world, finishing 1930-31 runners-up behind Juventus of Turin.

Roma have been on something of a sleigh ride in the 2000s; they began the decade by winning their third ever Serie A title in 2000–01, with club captain, Francesco Totti playing a crucial role in his team’s achievement. The following season Juventus won Serie A by a single point, and Roma were runners-up. This was a golden time for Roma tickets, as everyone wanted in on the fabulous atmosphere and sense of optimism at the Stadio Olimpico. Roma were to taste the bittersweet flavour of the runners-up several times in both league and cup in the 2000s; they were beaten 4–2 by AC Milan in the 2003 Coppa Italia final of and finished second in Serie A, again behind AC Milan, in the 2004 run-in. They made the quarter finals of the 2006–07 Champions, being knocked out by Manchester United, and they finished second again in Serie A. Roma fans are still expectant for a league, or cup, or even European triumph in the near-future, and are once more setting out to buy Roma tickets in large numbers.

Whether it’s a Roma Lazio derby, or a big game against one of the northern teams Roma was formed to challenge, the atmosphere at a Roma game will always justify the price paid for Roma tickets, and the stadium in the City of Seven Hills will be eternally loud, eager, incensed, and obsessed with the game of football. Many say that the shows provided by Roma’s extremely active Ultras are unparalleled outside South America, with gigantic silk flags, fireworks, flares, and endless songs and chants, especially in the Curva Sud section of the Stadio Olimpico. If you want to see this amazing choreographed show in the flesh, buy Roma football tickets and take your seat for a ringside view.
