Seeing AS Roma at Stadio Olimpico is already a big Rome night, but the VIP setup is what makes this one interesting. You get Tribuna d’Onore executive seating and hotel pickup so the match starts without the usual scramble.

I also like the pre-game comfort factor. The gourmet buffet inside the stadium grounds is included, and the open bar keeps things easy while you settle in.

One consideration: match days and kickoff times can shift, and the experience is listed as non-refundable. If you are working around tight plans, build in flexibility.

Key highlights

  • Hotel pickup 2 hours before kickoff, with round-trip transport in an air-conditioned vehicle
  • VIP reserved seats in Tribuna d’Onore Executive, with seats together guaranteed
  • Unlimited drinks open bar before and during the game
  • Gourmet buffet on-site, including dishes inspired by the opposition team
  • Complimentary AS Roma scarf, plus a smooth escort into the VIP area
  • Small group size, max 4 travelers, and the booking requires 2 people

Tribuna d’Onore VIP seats, the fast track to a top Roma view

VIP Tickets and Seats to AS ROMA game with Gourmet Buffet and Open Bar - Tribuna d’Onore VIP seats, the fast track to a top Roma view
A regular ticket gets you into the stadium. This experience is built to get you into the good part of the day, the part where you can actually enjoy the game without logistics eating your energy. The big draw is VIP reserved box seating in Tribuna d’Onore Executive, which is the premium seating area you want if you care about comfort and a clean, focused match view.

Stadio Olimpico sits north of central Rome and is home to both AS Roma and Lazio. That matters because it changes the feel of your evening. You are not just popping into a random venue in the city. You are arriving at the match, stepping into the stadium atmosphere, and then settling in as the crowd builds.

The reviews back up what that VIP seating is supposed to do. People highlight the ease of being escorted directly to their hospitality area and then shown to excellent seats. Even one comment that framed it as mostly transport plus VIP access still praised the seat quality.

This setup is also good for couples and first-timers. If you want the stadium to feel special, not stressful, you will like the way the day is structured around your seat location and pre-game comfort.

2-hours-before pickup in central Rome, so you do not miss the good part

VIP Tickets and Seats to AS ROMA game with Gourmet Buffet and Open Bar - 2-hours-before pickup in central Rome, so you do not miss the good part
The schedule is designed to keep you out of the “late and lost” category. Pickup is from your Rome hotel in central Rome about two hours before the match, then you ride out to the stadium in an air-conditioned vehicle.

When you arrive, you meet a staff member who provides your VIP package and then gets you moving into the stadium grounds for the hospitality portion. In other words, you are not standing around figuring out entrances. You are following a plan, and the plan is match-first.

This also helps with the timing that most football evenings get wrong. If you show up right at kickoff, you spend your first minutes watching people scan tickets and fight with lines. Here, you get the opposite. You arrive earlier, you eat, you drink, and then you go to your seats as the stadium fills up.

Group size is also a big deal for comfort. The experience notes a maximum of 4 travelers, and your seats together are guaranteed. That means you are less likely to feel like you are in a big herd.

If you are the type who gets stressed by transit, parking, or ticket pickup processes, this is the kind of day you book to make the city part of your trip simpler.

The gourmet buffet inside the stadium grounds, and what makes it feel different

VIP Tickets and Seats to AS ROMA game with Gourmet Buffet and Open Bar - The gourmet buffet inside the stadium grounds, and what makes it feel different
Pre-match food can be either an afterthought or part of the fun. Here it is a highlight. You get an unlimited gourmet food buffet inside the stadium grounds before kickoff, and it is described as freshly prepared.

A detail I especially like: the buffet includes dishes inspired by the opposition team. That turns a standard stadium meal into something more playful, like your dinner has a plot. It gives the pre-game time a theme, and it makes the hospitality area feel less generic.

The buffet happens before you settle into your Tribuna d’Onore seats. So you can eat before the stadium becomes loud and crowded, then spend the match time watching, not hunting for something to eat.

One practical note: a buffet plus an open bar means you should pace yourself. You want to enjoy the food and drinks, but you also want to stay comfortable during the game. I’d treat it like a pre-match meal, not an endless party.

Also, this is not the kind of experience where you wander around and sample the whole stadium. Your time is focused on the VIP hospitality area, then your seats. If you want the freedom to roam, you might feel slightly boxed in by the structure. If you want everything handled, that structure is the point.

Open bar before and during the game, how to use it well

The open bar is included, and it runs both before the game and during the match. That means you can keep enjoying drinks without having to queue or keep track of purchases mid-match.

From a practical perspective, this is where VIP value shows up. In many stadium days, you get in, you buy something expensive, and then you pay again and again when you need refills. Here, the drinks are part of the package, so your match budget is simpler.

In the same spirit, the reviews mention atmosphere, hospitality, and people enjoying the food and beverages as they settle in. The open bar also makes the pre-match hour feel more like an event and less like waiting.

If you are driving age, remember that the drinks are included, so you should plan your own comfort accordingly. But assuming you are taking the included transport, this is a good setup for a relaxed night that still feels special.

One small caution: because you will be drinking during the game, you will want to stay hydrated and not overdo it early. The match lasts, the stadium air can feel warm, and you will enjoy the action more if you keep your energy steady.

From VIP escort to your seat, plus the scarf moment

VIP Tickets and Seats to AS ROMA game with Gourmet Buffet and Open Bar - From VIP escort to your seat, plus the scarf moment
The day flows like this: pickup from your hotel, arrival at the stadium, escort into the VIP area, buffet and drinks, then you get the moment that makes it feel like VIP time, you put on the AS Roma scarf and head to your reserved seating area.

Your seat is in Tribuna d’Onore Executive, in a VIP reserved box area. That usually means a more comfortable experience than general seating. It also means you are not constantly moving through crowds. You go where you need to be, then you stay.

Now, about the scarf. The experience lists a complimentary AS Roma scarf as included, and many accounts praise the overall VIP feel. One service-related comment did mention a missing scarf despite the description promising one. That is not common enough to ignore, but it is worth learning from.

If the scarf is important to you as a souvenir, I’d ask your on-site host at the start of the VIP hospitality window. Get clarity early, while you still have time before kickoff.

The scarf part is more than merch. It helps you feel in sync with the match. You are in the stadium, you have the team colors in hand, and you are ready for the noise when it peaks.

The human touch, with hosts like Angelo, Martina, David, and Denis

VIP experiences live or die on people. The staff and hosts are a key part of this one, and names show up in real-day accounts: Angelo and Martina are mentioned as guides or hosts, and David and Denis are also named in connection with meeting people in the stadium area.

What they do, based on the descriptions and accounts, is fairly straightforward but valuable:

  • Meet you when you arrive and get you into the VIP zone
  • Guide you to the hospitality suite
  • Walk you to your seats so you start watching faster

One comment even described it as mostly transport plus tickets with very little tour style. So keep expectations realistic. This is not a day-long guided history lesson of Rome. The focus is match-day VIP handling.

If you want a clear, friendly person to help you navigate the stadium experience, you’ll get it. If you want a deep narrated experience before the match, you might feel the day is lighter on commentary. Still, for most fans, the payoff is the seats, food, and smooth entry.

Value check: what you’re paying for beyond the ticket

When you compare this to booking everything separately, the value is not just “premium seats.” It is the way the package removes friction.

You get:

  • Round-trip hotel pickup and drop-off
  • Air-conditioned vehicle transport
  • A gourmet buffet
  • Unlimited drinks open bar
  • VIP reserved seats together
  • A team souvenir scarf (with a good idea to confirm at check-in)

Buying VIP seats alone can get expensive fast. On top of that, transport and stadium logistics in Rome can eat time, especially on event nights. Here, transport is handled, timing is managed, and your match day is pre-arranged around your seat location.

That is especially meaningful for people doing Rome as a short trip. If you only have a few evenings in the city, you want your match night to feel like a highlight, not a project.

The only value risk is expectation mismatch. If you picture a big guided tour, you might find it more like VIP entry plus hospitality. But if your goal is a smoother, more comfortable stadium evening, the package hits the target.

Who should book this VIP Roma match package

VIP Tickets and Seats to AS ROMA game with Gourmet Buffet and Open Bar - Who should book this VIP Roma match package
I think this is a great fit if:

  • You want VIP seating and a comfortable match day pace
  • You like having food and drinks handled before the game starts
  • You want small-group attention and seats together
  • You are going as a couple, since booking requires 2 people per booking
  • You want the “first night in Rome” feeling, when you want everything easy and memorable

It may be less ideal if:

  • You are traveling solo and cannot meet the 2-person booking requirement
  • You want a long, planned tour story instead of VIP hospitality and seat access
  • You have zero flexibility for a weekend where kickoff timing could shift

Also, the experience recommends smart casual dress and comfortable walking shoes. Football is loud, crowded, and a little physical around entrances, so dress for comfort first, style second.

Quick practical checklist before you go

VIP Tickets and Seats to AS ROMA game with Gourmet Buffet and Open Bar - Quick practical checklist before you go
Here are the details you should treat as non-optional:

  • Expect a mobile ticket for entry.
  • Bring your details as requested at booking time. You may need to specify your nationality for stadium security paperwork.
  • Wear smart casual, and bring comfortable shoes.
  • If you are traveling with kids, plan on children being with an adult.
  • Build your day around pickup. Two hours before kickoff is not just a suggestion.

One more logistical point: confirmation is listed as received within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. Also, match date and kickoff can change, and the experience notes no refunds if you cancel. So if you are booking flights, try to build in some cushion.

Should you book this VIP AS Roma game with buffet and open bar?

If you want your Roma match night to feel smooth, premium, and low-stress, I’d lean yes. The best part is the combination: VIP reserved Tribuna d’Onore seats plus a buffered, drink-included pre-game with hotel transport. That mix is what turns a ticket into a whole evening.

Skip this only if you are mainly looking for a deep guided city narrative or you have rigid timing where a kickoff shift would ruin your schedule. For most visitors, the value sits in the seat quality, the easy entry, and the way the day is paced from pickup to hospitality to match time.

In Rome, that is exactly what you want, one evening where the logistics are handled and the stadium does the entertaining.
