Udinese Matches — Tickets & Packages

A ticket for an Udinese match is personalized, and at the entrance stewards may ask for ID to match the name. First, a note that saves heartache: the club's official site is udinese.it. The address that looks more natural, udinese.com, does not belong to the club at all — it's a page for a domain offered for sale. Sales themselves run through three channels — online via the club's official ticketing system, at authorized points of sale in Friuli (Udine, Lignano, Tarvisio, Tolmezzo, Tarcento, and in the provinces of Pordenone and Treviso), and at the stadium box office, the 'Infopoint' next to Curva Nord, open on weekdays 9:00–19:00 and Saturdays 9:00–13:00, with extended hours on matchdays. Two things every tourist must know in advance. First: Udinese tickets are personalized. The name is registered on the ticket, and at the entrance stewards may ask for valid ID to confirm that the person entering is the one registered — this is stated explicitly in the stadium usage regulations. Children up to age 10 are exempt from the ID check. If you bought a ticket and in the end someone else is going, there's an official name-transfer mechanism called Cambio Utilizzatore — but it does not apply to the away section. Second: Udinese has a fan card called the '1896 Membership', and according to official sources it is not a condition for buying a single ticket to a home match; it's required for discounts and season-ticket transfers. What does change from match to match is residency-based restrictions: sometimes residents of the away team's province can only buy in the away section and only with their own fan card, sometimes they're barred from buying at all, sometimes there's no restriction at all — this is set per match, sometimes by order of the provincial commissioner, and published only close to the date. These restrictions do not apply to a neutral Israeli visitor. As for when sales open — there is no fixed rule the club publishes. In practice we've seen openings five to nine days before the match, usually at 16:00, and sometimes in a first stage online only. The away section closes for sale earlier than the rest. TikTik obtains tickets for Udinese matches at Bluenergy without chasing a sales window that opens a week before, and without dealing with personalized registration in an Italian system.

Bluenergy Stadium is reached via line 9, which connects Udine's train station directly to the stadium. The stadium is in the Rizzi neighborhood in northwest Udine. There's some ambiguity about the exact address worth knowing: the club and the municipality agree it's Piazzale Argentina — the club writes 'Piazzale Argentina 3, Località Rizzi' and the municipality 'Piazzale Repubblica Argentina' — while Serie A lists 'Viale Candolini 2', which is also the club's own registered address. For navigation: aim for the stadium by the name Bluenergy Stadium or Stadio Friuli rather than by house number alone. The simple, verified route is city bus line 9. This isn't a line someone recommended online: the region's transport operator, TPL FVG, itself marks the stops near the stadium in both directions in its route description, and the line connects the stadium directly to Udine's train station (on Viale Europa Unita) and the bus station. The relevant stops are Via Candolini and Via Mainerio. On matchdays the operator extends the line's hours late into the night, with dedicated return trips after the final whistle. One note of honesty: we're not writing a travel time or a bus fare here, because the operator's timetable and fare files aren't accessible for reading — it's better to check the operator's site close to your trip than to quote a number we can't stand behind. And a second, more important note: you'll find recommendations online for other lines to the stadium. The operator itself marks only line 9 as the stadium line; the other lines appeared only as options on pages for one-off events like the Super Cup or a rugby match, not as a regular service for league matches. Don't rely on them.

There are car parks adjacent to Bluenergy Stadium, but arrangements are set per event and it's better to arrive by bus. There are car parks adjacent to the stadium — P1, P2 and P3 along Via Candolini, and for big events P5 on Via Bottecchia and P6 on Via Mainerio have also been opened — but the practical answer is that it's better to arrive by bus, and we'll explain why in a moment. For every big event at the stadium, the Municipality of Udine issues a traffic order that changes the whole area. From the signed orders we read, a consistent picture emerges: a ban on stopping in the stadium car parks except for permit holders, a traffic ban on sections of Via Candolini and nearby roads, and above all a 24-hour parking ban with towing across the entire ring of streets — Via Candolini, Via Bottecchia, Viale dell'Emigrazione, Via Candoni, Via Mainerio, Via Poni, Via Prussi, and also the access roads from the bypass. For the biggest events, like the UEFA Super Cup, all the stadium car parks were closed entirely — including those of the nearby cemetery — and the municipality opened free parking instead at the Udine fairgrounds (by advance booking) and at the university campus in Rizzi (no booking needed), with shuttle buses to the stadium and back. Two warnings that save you from mistakes. First: all the orders we found are per event. There is no fixed seasonal order published for regular league matches, so don't treat the car park numbers and shuttle times as a fixed given — check ahead of your specific match. Second, and this is a real trap for a tourist with a navigation app: in Udine's city center there are public car parks also labeled P1 through P8, and they are entirely different locations from the stadium car parks. Same label, different city within the city. If you already have a car — parking at the university campus in Rizzi is the solution the municipality itself marks as walkable, along a marked route via Via Pagnacco, Via Milano and Via Bergamo.

For an Udinese match you fly to Venice Marco Polo, and from there a bus and train to Udine. Let's start with the conclusion: fly to Venice Marco Polo, then bus and train to Udine. Now the details, including what we couldn't verify. There's no direct flight from Tel Aviv to Trieste, the airport closest to Udine — this isn't a guess but a check of the airport's own timetable for the 2026 season, which lists seven airlines, none of which flies to Israel. The direct route that does exist is to Venice Marco Polo: Wizz Air lists it as one of its Tel Aviv routes and estimates about four hours' flight, and Venice Airport confirmed the route in an official announcement. El Al lists Venice among its direct destinations, but the page is shared between El Al and Sun d'Or with no breakdown by destination, so we won't claim here which airline actually operates it. A note of honesty: the official announcements we found are from 2025, and Venice's live flight schedule is blocked to automated reading — so check the exact frequency for your dates with the airline before locking in dates. From Venice airport to Udine there's no train from the airport, so the route is two simple steps: an ATVO bus from the airport to Venezia Mestre train station — 20 minutes per the official timetable, departing from Exit D, Lane 2, Stand 4 — then a walk of about 200 meters from the terminal to the train station, and a direct Trenitalia regional train from Mestre to Udine that takes 1 hour 37 minutes and leaves roughly every hour. In total, from landing to Udine, about two and a quarter to two and a half hours. Note that this is a combination of three verified facts, not a number someone publishes as such. Two alternatives worth knowing. First: there's a direct flight from Tel Aviv to Ljubljana — Israir operates three weekly flights on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday, about three hours fifteen minutes, per the Slovenian airport's own timetable for the 2026 summer season. But from Ljubljana to Udine by train it's three hours forty-five minutes to just over four hours with about two to three changes — meaning this is an alternative for someone renting a car, not for public transport. Second: if you do arrive in Trieste on a connecting flight, it's the most convenient airport to Udine anywhere — it has its own train station called Trieste Airport, linked to the terminal by a covered, elevated eight-minute walkway, and from there a direct train to Udine of 33 to 38 minutes, or bus line G51 to Udine's central station in about 40 minutes on the fastest runs. We could not verify the connecting leg itself from Israel end to end, so don't rely on it without checking. And one last detail worth its weight in gold: Udine's bus station is right next to the train station, and line 9 runs directly to the stadium from both.

No. Israelis enter Schengen-area countries visa-free for stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period, and all that's required is a valid passport. Worth knowing what's coming: the European Union is launching the ETIAS authorization system in the last quarter of 2026. Once it takes effect, an online authorization will be required in advance, at a cost of €7, valid for three years or until the passport expires — whichever comes first. As of today the system is not active and no action is required from you. Important warning: the EU warns that many sites impersonate the official site, use the EU logo and charge inflated fees or steal passport and credit card details. There is only one official site — europa.eu/etias — and any address not on the europa.eu domain is not official.

At Bluenergy, Curva Nord is reserved for season-ticket holders, and for single-match sales you buy in Curva Sud, Distinti and Tribuna. The heart of the atmosphere is Curva Nord — the club itself calls it 'the beating heart of the fans' — but here's a practical detail you must know in advance: Curva Nord doesn't appear in general sales for league matches. It's sold entirely to season-ticket holders, and the club runs an official waiting list for it. What is open for single-match purchase: Curva Sud, Distinti, Tribuna Laterale Nord and Sud, Tribuna Centrale Nord and Sud, and the away section. For those who want to be close to the noise without a season ticket — the club opened a section called 'Tribuna Distinti Nord — Cuore Bianconero', explicitly defined as intended for those who want to experience the passion of the fan stand up close. For those seeking quiet and families: Tribuna Laterale Nord — this is the stand where the club issues its family season ticket. Udinese defines itself as Italy's first family-friendly stadium, with changing tables, bottle warmers, kids' menus and family parking; a separate, defined family stand beyond that is not publicized. Away fans sit in the away section at the end of Curva Sud — so much so that highway signage explicitly points to the exit 'Stadio Friuli — Ospiti Curva Sud'. And per league data, the away section holds 1,311 seats. An advantage true of the whole stadium: every seat is covered, and there's no running track keeping you from the pitch. And on entry itself — what is verified and what isn't. Verified: the ticket is personalized, valid ID must be shown at the gate (children up to 10 exempt), and entry is through a gate numbered by stand, with the gate number published separately for each match. Bags are allowed, but the club reserves the right to search persons and bags. Not allowed in: suitcases and cooler bags and any bulky item, motorcycle helmets, umbrellas (unless security deems them harmless), glass or plastic cans and bottles — drinks are poured into paper cups — cameras and video cameras, binoculars, megaphones and drums without prior authorization, and animals except guide dogs. What isn't verified and so we won't write it: gate opening time. It simply doesn't appear in the official regulations — the club publishes it separately for each match, and the regulations linked on the site are still the 2024/25 season edition. Check your specific match announcement.

The 2026/27 season is Udinese's 130th, and the club is marking it with a 1896–2026 star. This is the club's 130th season. Udinese was founded in 1896, and is one of the oldest clubs in Italy — and to mark this the club has brought back the white star from the original 1896 shirt as a commemorative star with the inscription 1896–2026. A practical detail for anyone buying merchandise: the star appears on this season's travel and accessories collection, but not on the match shirts, which keep the regular crest. Anyone who wants the 130th-anniversary item — this is a one-season-only window. On the sporting side: Udinese finished 2025/26 in 10th place in Serie A with 50 points, mid-table, and coach Kosta Runjaić remains in his role since his appointment in June 2024 — a stability not to be taken for granted in Serie A. In summer 2026 the club made Niccolò Zaniolo a permanent player on a contract until 2029, permanently signed Giorgi Tskvitadze from Watford on a contract until 2030, signed Unai Gómez from Athletic Bilbao until 2031, and Marjim Vaivoda; on the other side, Martin Payero left for Watford, Simone Pafundi for Catanzaro, and Jordan Zemura joined Watford on loan. And the start-of-season schedule, relevant for flight planning: the first home match is actually in the Coppa Italia — Udinese vs Padova on Saturday, 15 August 2026 at 18:30. The first home league match is Udinese vs Como on Saturday, 22 August 2026 at 18:30, and it's actually one of only two opening matches of the entire Serie A season.

Udinese's big match is the Derby del Triveneto against Venezia, at home on 14 February 2027. Udinese's derby this season is the Derby del Triveneto against Venezia — the derby of northeast Italy. It exists this season only thanks to Venezia's promotion to the league. The home match takes place, per the official fixture list, in round 24, on 14 February 2027, and the away match in Venice in round 11, on 8 November 2026. It's worth saying explicitly: the historic rivalry with Triestina is not relevant this season — Triestina plays in Serie D, meaning there's no possibility at all of a competitive meeting. Beyond the derby, four big home matches await on the schedule: against Milan on 25 October 2026, against Roma on 1 November 2026, against Inter on 7 March 2027 and against Juventus on 9 May 2027. And a warning that saves real money for anyone buying a flight: Serie A has set exact days and times only for the first five rounds. All the other dates on the schedule are a framework that can shift a day forward or back for broadcast reasons, and the times haven't been set at all. The dates are given for initial planning; the final day and time are confirmed a few weeks before the match, so it's worth keeping flexibility in your flight ticket.
