Lazio has demonstrated once again that it is a club where support is a weapon of protest. Today, over ten thousand Biancocelesti supporters filled the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia, transforming the away match into a cheering party despite the weekday and inconvenient time. The mobilization, which has already attracted the attention of international media such as the BBC, L'Équipe, CNN and the New York Times, is part of a broader campaign against Lotito's management, with which fans have asked for an exception to the protest for the derby on 13 December.
The result on the pitch was equally historic: Lazio won their fifth consecutive victory away from Rome, confirming the solidity of the group even away from home. Stefano Pioli's team, however, had to face a logistical dilemma: the sale of "Pack 3" which guarantees access to the stadium for the derby, but which mandatorily includes tickets for the matches on 21 November against Lecce and 6 December against Atalanta. The package, available starting from 11am tomorrow, has been set at 79 euros for the Curva Nord and Distinti Nord, rising up to 670 euros for the Grandstand. The sale will remain open until 11.59pm on November 8th.
For season ticket holders for 2026-27, the first phase of the sale is already closed: the "Aquilotti" can purchase a seat for the derby for just 10 euros, while season ticket holders of Distinti Sud Est and Curva Maestrelli can choose an alternative location. If you decide to purchase "Pack 3", fans will secure their place for the derby, but will also have to pay for tickets for the two previous matches, where the protest could continue and organized support could desert the stadium.
The derby on 13 December therefore remains a turning point. If the protest continues, fans will have to decide whether to agree to pay for the remaining two matches or opt for open sales, which could reduce the availability of seats. Lazio will also return to the Olympic stadium for the match against Cagliari, where advance sales are still in line with previous home matches: around four thousand tickets have been sold and the protest has shown no signs of abating. The future of the derby will depend on the fans' decision and the response of the management, who will have to balance the need to guarantee access to the stadium with the desire to respect the protest.
