VIP Tickets and Seats to AS ROMA game with Gourmet Buffet and Open Bar
AS Roma’s VIP match package turns a football game into a polished Rome night out. You get driven from your central Rome hotel, escorted into Stadio Olimpico, fed in a hospitality area, and seated in the Tribuna D’Onore executive section, where the view is among the best available.
I like the easy hotel pickup and the personal handoff at the stadium. I also like the mix of match-day excitement with good food, drinks, and a guaranteed seat together. The main caution is the price: this is a premium event package, and match dates or kickoff times can change.

Key points to know before booking

- Private-feeling hotel transfers: A driver collects you about two hours before kickoff and returns you after the match.
- A proper hospitality setup: The pre-match buffet and open bar give you more than a basic stadium ticket.
- Excellent seating: Tribuna D’Onore executive seats put you in a comfortable VIP area with a strong view.
- Helpful hosts: Angelo receives especially warm praise, while David, Denis, and Martina are also named as friendly hosts.
- A small souvenir issue: The AS Roma scarf is included in the package, but one booking did not receive it, so check before leaving.
- Small group format: Bookings require at least two people, and the maximum group size is four.
Why this AS Roma night feels different

A regular football ticket gets you through the turnstile. This experience handles nearly everything around the match, which matters in Rome when you are trying to manage transport, stadium security, unfamiliar entrances, and a late return to your hotel.
The evening begins with a hotel pickup in central Rome roughly two hours before the match. You ride in an air-conditioned vehicle to Stadio Olimpico, north of the historic center. The stadium is home to both AS Roma and Lazio, so the setting carries more football weight than a simple sightseeing stop.
I like that you do not have to work out the route on your own. You are not just handed a digital ticket and left at the gate. A representative meets you, gives you the VIP package, and helps guide you into the stadium area.
That personal escort can be useful because the ticketing and security arrangements require care. You must provide your nationality when booking so the corporate card can be nominated correctly for stadium security. Confirmation is sent within 48 hours, subject to availability.

From central Rome to Stadio Olimpico
The early pickup is not a minor detail. You should expect to leave your hotel well before kickoff, allowing time for city traffic, stadium entry, and the hospitality meal. The stated pickup point is your hotel in central Rome, and round-trip transport is included.
The vehicle is air-conditioned, a welcome touch if you have spent the day walking through Rome. The transfer also means you can enjoy the match without worrying about finding a taxi after the final whistle.
The group size is limited to four people, according to the supplied details. That makes the arrangement feel more personal than a large coach outing, although the exact vehicle and seating setup are not specified.
You should have your mobile ticket and booking details ready, even though a representative handles the handoff. One past booking had trouble at the entrance because the tickets had not arrived, though a phone call fixed the problem. That is a good reason to check your voucher before match day and contact the operator promptly if anything looks missing.
Meeting the host and entering the VIP area

At the stadium, a LivTours representative meets you and escorts you into the hospitality section. Several hosts are named in the experience feedback, including Angelo, David, Denis, and Martina. Angelo receives the most praise for being friendly, informative, and personally guiding people to the hospitality area and seats.
The host’s role is practical rather than that of a full football historian. One account describes a brief explanation of the stadium before the group was taken inside. Another points out that there was no major tour component beyond the transport, ticket entry, and hospitality arrangement.
That distinction matters. If you want a guided history of Stadio Olimpico, the clubs, or Italian football, this is not presented as a dedicated stadium tour. If you want someone to meet you, get you through the correct entrance, and show you where to eat and sit, the host service is useful.
Once inside, you can settle into the hospitality area before the match. This gives you room to eat and have a drink before the noise rises in the stands.
The buffet and open bar before kickoff

The food is one of the package’s main advantages. You receive an unlimited buffet inside the stadium grounds, with dishes inspired by the opposing team. The food is described as freshly prepared and of good quality, though the exact menu changes with the fixture.
That changing menu is a nice touch. It connects the meal to the evening’s football rather than giving you a generic hotel buffet. You should think of it as a substantial pre-match spread, not a formal restaurant dinner with table service.
The open bar operates before the game and during play. Drinks are included, which removes the familiar stadium problem of paying separately for every beer, wine, soft drink, or other available beverage.
I would still keep your expectations sensible. The details do not specify every drink option, the number of courses, or whether the buffet remains open throughout the entire match. The safe expectation is unlimited included drinks around the hospitality period and during the game, with a buffet before kickoff.
The food and drinks also help justify the premium cost. If you would normally buy dinner, drinks, transport, and a high-grade ticket separately, the package combines those expenses into one arrangement. The value depends on how much you care about comfort and convenience, not just the final score.

Tribuna D’Onore executive seats

The ticket places you in VIP reserved box seats in the Tribuna D’Onore executive section. This is the part of the package that matters most to serious football fans. You are not paying for a distant corner seat and a vague promise of a special atmosphere.
The seats are repeatedly described as comfortable and very good, with some feedback calling them top-quality or excellent. You are also promised seats together, an important point for couples and small groups.
The best seat location is not necessarily the most passionate section. Hardcore supporters create much of the singing and color from their own areas, while executive seating gives you comfort, a clear view, and access to hospitality. You get a strong mix of match quality and convenience, but you may not be sitting in the most intense supporter block.
The atmosphere still reaches you. Football in Rome has plenty of singing, tension, and sudden noise, especially when the match turns late. One memorable match ended with a Roma goal in the 89th minute, while another finished 4-2. The package cannot promise a thrilling result, but it gives you a comfortable base from which to enjoy one.
The AS Roma scarf and what to check

A complimentary AS Roma scarf is included as a memento. Wear it for the match and you will look the part, especially as the stadium fills and supporters show their club colors.
There is one practical wrinkle. One booking did not receive the promised scarf, even after the guest asked twice. That appears to be an exception, but it is worth checking with the host when you arrive.
If the scarf matters to you, ask about it before you are taken to your seats. Do not wait until the return transfer. A small souvenir can be a meaningful part of a first Roma match, particularly for a honeymoon, birthday, or special trip.
How much value do you get?

The supplied price is shown as $0.00, which is not a useful guide to the real cost of this premium package. You should verify the current price and availability before making plans, since the package includes private or small-group transport, hospitality food, an open bar, executive seats, booking fees, and a scarf.
I would compare it with the cost of buying each part separately. A standard match ticket may be cheaper, but it does not provide the same seat category, meal, drinks, escort, or hotel transfer. You are paying for a managed evening, not only access to the match.
The package makes the most sense if you value time and certainty. A first-time visitor may prefer to avoid transport decisions and stadium navigation. A couple may also find the smooth setup worthwhile for a special night.
The value is weaker if you only want to watch football at the lowest possible price. You could spend less with an ordinary ticket and arrange your own route. You would give up the executive section and hospitality, but that trade may suit a committed supporter who cares more about crowd energy than comfort.
Timing, fixture changes, and cancellation rules

Football schedules are not fixed in the same way as theatre bookings. Match dates and kickoff times can change, usually within the scheduled Saturday or Sunday weekend, but security, events, and other outside factors can cause further changes.
This has a real effect on your Rome plans. Do not build a flight connection or tight dinner reservation around the original kickoff until the definitive date and time are confirmed. The voucher provides details on where to check the final schedule.
The cancellation information needs careful reading. One part says you can cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund, with no refund inside 24 hours. Another condition says the tickets are non-refundable and warns that there are no refunds if you cancel after making plans around a changed fixture.
Because those statements do not sit perfectly together, I would confirm the exact rule for your booking before paying. This is especially important if your dates in Rome are fixed or your match is a central reason for booking flights.
Who will enjoy this match package most?
I would recommend it most strongly to couples, football fans on a special trip, and first-time Rome visitors who want an easy evening. The honeymoon booking described in the feedback shows how well the format can suit a celebration.
It also works for a small group of friends who want good seats without handling every detail themselves. The maximum group size is four, and two people are required per booking, so it is not designed for solo visitors.
Families can book, but children must be accompanied by an adult. The experience is suitable for most participants, and it is near public transportation, though the package itself includes hotel transfers.
Dress smart casual. Comfortable walking shoes are a good idea because you will move through the stadium and hospitality areas, even with vehicle transport provided.
I would not choose it if your main goal is a guided look at the stadium’s architecture or football history. You receive a brief welcome and escort, not a full educational tour. I also would not choose it if you dislike fixed schedules or cannot tolerate possible fixture changes.
A practical match-night plan
Before pickup, check the final match date, kickoff time, voucher, hotel meeting point, and nationality details on the booking. Keep your phone charged, since the mobile ticket and operator contact information may be important.
Wear comfortable smart-casual clothes and allow the full four-hour estimate, with some flexibility for the match schedule and return traffic. The stated pickup is about two hours before kickoff, so do not plan another activity immediately beforehand.
At the stadium, ask the host where the buffet and bar are located, confirm your seats, and check for the scarf. If anything is unclear with the ticket, raise it before entering the seating area.
Once the match starts, you can use the executive seating as your quiet base and return to the hospitality area as permitted. The supplied details confirm open-bar access during the match, but they do not specify every movement rule between the lounge and seats, so follow the host’s instructions.
Should you book this AS Roma experience?
Book it if you want the football match to be the centerpiece of a comfortable Rome evening. The strongest features are the hotel transport, friendly personal escort, reliable seats together, buffet, open bar, and Tribuna D’Onore location.
I would especially consider it for a honeymoon, anniversary, or first AS Roma match. Hosts such as Angelo have made a strong impression, and the arrangement removes much of the uncertainty that can make a stadium night stressful.
Choose a standard ticket instead if your priority is saving money or sitting among the loudest supporters. Also confirm the final fixture and the cancellation terms before committing, and check that your tickets and scarf are in hand on arrival.
