AS Roma have broken their club record for season ticket renewals after 11,000 supporters secured their seats for the 2026-27 campaign on the opening day of sales. The figure includes 4,500 tickets purchased within the first 90 minutes, causing the club’s website to crash under unprecedented demand.
The surge represents a 31 per cent increase on the Giallorossi’s recent average of approximately 7,500 renewals on the first day. The rush comes as the club prepares to return to the Champions League following a seven-year absence, having secured qualification by finishing third in the Serie A table last season.
Gasperini’s impact drives enthusiasm
Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who is preparing for his second season in charge, has galvanised support at the Stadio Olimpico. The team regularly played to full houses during the closing months of the previous campaign, with supporters encouraged by the tactical progress made under the experienced manager.
The renewed appetite for matchday attendance reflects growing confidence that the squad can compete on multiple fronts during the upcoming season. Qualification for European football’s premier club competition has clearly reignited passion among the fanbase after nearly a decade away from the group stage.
What the numbers reveal
The velocity of sales—4,500 transactions completed in just 90 minutes—suggests the club may face sustained pressure on ticket availability throughout the summer. The 31 per cent uplift on historical first-day averages indicates that Gasperini’s project is resonating with the club’s traditional support base.
Roma will hope to capitalise on this momentum when the new campaign begins, with European nights at the Olimpico expected to provide a significant financial and atmospheric boost.
