"Seating categories" Top 5 Page for this destination Arena Tip by Nemorino

On this daytime photo you can see the various seating categories in the Arena. I have heard and read various estimates of how many tickets they put on sale for each performance, with 14,000 being the lowest estimate.

The most expensive seats look white in the photo because they are protected during the day by heavy white plastic covers. These are the "Poltronissime" seats or first sector stalls, now subdivided into "Poltronissime GOLD" at EUR 198 per seat and normal "Poltronissime" at EUR 168. (These are the Friday and Saturday prices. On other days they cost a bit less.)

The red seats are the "Poltrone" or 2nd sector stalls, which cost EUR 127 on Fridays and Saturdays.

The grey seats on the lower half of the steps are the "poltroncina numerata di gradinata" or numbered seats on the steps, which cost EUR 104 in the middle sections and EUR 84 on the sides.

These are the prices as of 2012. They have not changed since 2009.

People over 65 or under 30 years of age are entitled to reduced price tickets, but these cannot be bought online.

The prices for all categories are lower for Gounod's Roméo et Juliette than for the other operas.

Second photo: Here's what these grey numbered seats on the steps look like. They aren't padded, so you might want to rent a cushion, but at least they have a back rest and they are reserved.

Third photo: The top sections are the "Gradinata" or unreserved stone steps. On Fridays and Saturdays these cost EUR 27.50 for the middle sections D and E, EUR 23.00 for the side sections C and F. The far-forward sections B and G used to cost EUR 12.00, but they are no longer listed in the current price list.

Fourth photo: The section under the Ala is section E.
