Does anyone know if banca intesa can sell tickets to foreigners. my local branch says no but im not convinced...

Im foreign but live here in italy have residency, codice fiscale etc and wanted to buy tickets for myself and my friends that are arriving for a holiday - so we all get seats together.

The bank said they can sell to me but not my friends - I even had copies of their passports ready.....
I can see they can buy their tickets on-line but fail to understand why I cant buy them all together at banca intesa. Any thoughts welcome

I think that your friends have to go in person with their documents to get the tickets at Banca Intesa. I've bought tickets through the Banca (in person only, the Piazza Cordusio branch) before with no problem. If you're in Milan did you try that particular branch? They do seem to have a guy who pretty much only sells tickets to games.

Hey
in order to buy tickets from banca intesa u need an accurate codice fiscale for each person(not the ones u get online but from the agenzia delle entrata) along with the passports for each person you are buying tickets for, these rules were new for this season. Or u can buy tickets with foreign passports at the stadium the same day or the same week online.

good luck

Welcome to Milanfan, Miss Milanista!

Thanks for the info, too.

I will note that as a foreigner, I was able to go into the Banca Intesa at Piazza Cordusio and get a ticket with no problem - they just asked for my passport.

thanks! nice to be here!
but when was that? Because from this season 08/09 its only banca intesa who can sell the tickets and they need an accurate codice fiscale that they register in their system. Before you could buy them with those fake ones u get online but now the banks doesnt accept that...im there every month so i had to get a codice fiscale to avoid the huzzle and also so i could buy the cuore rossonero card! but who knows maybe u were lucky? hehehe i dont know!

It was for Milan-Bologna, first game of the season. Walked right into the Banca Intesa on Piazza Cordusio and bought the ticket. They even put up with my lousy Italian - just asked for my passport.

Non-Italians can also buy tickets to home games on acmilan.com, but the sections are the corner sections on first red and first orange, which I don't think are really good seats.

You might need the codice to get a cuore rossonero card, though. I didn't try to do that.

Do please feel free to post an introduction in the intro thread! It's nice to have someone here who goes to Milan really regularly!

cool i was there at that game too!
yeah maybe so i was actually trying to buy the cuore rossonero card at that time too...
i know about the online tickets but as u say those sections arent where i like to sit i prefer in the middle of primo anello rosso its only for the derby when inter is at home i stand in the curva cuz then u dont really wanna be surronded by disgusting interisti!! i see u are in the us no? i read about the friendly on july 26 are you going? im thinking about flying down there it could be fun even tho its a friendly its always a war between us! heheheh

I'm going for sure to Milan-Chelsea because I'm so close to Baltimore. I might go to the Derby - depends on holiday schedules at work.

I generally try to go to a couple of Milan games a year if I can (I prefer 1 orange ring because I like to look at the bench too).

And so the secret's finally out! You liar!! You fraud!! You mountebank!!!

Don't mind Jack, Miss Milanista. He's just a hungover pirate suffering from Fishdoll Envy.

(I never said my spoken italian was fluent; I can read/translate with relative ease but speaking is a little different).

Nobody likes Jack. We just keep him around solely for our own entertainment.
