I'll be in Bologna March 11-17 2009. I was hoping there would be a Bologna fixture (Serie A) while I was there, but sadly they aren't playing until March 22. In lieu of a Serie A fixture, I was hoping to catch a Serie B fixture. Looks like Modena is playing Ancona (in Modena) on Saturday March 14.

Can anyone advise the best way to purchase football tickets? I just need 1 and would prefer to buy in advance if possible.

Well, I just googled biglietti football Bologna and found this (among lots of others):

Modena is doing badly in the league and is currently second from bottom.
Last home game on Sep 27th against Treviso had fewer than 5000 spectators, in a stadium seating 20,000, so getting a ticket on the day should be no problems.
Of course by the time you get there, the team's fortunes may have improved and get more spectators, but it will be far from being a sell-out.

I need tix for Modena, not Bologna. Modena's FC does have a website, but there's no English option.

Not so concerned about how well (or not) that Modena is doing...just really really want to see a football game while I'm in Italy! Thanks, Alec, for suggesting it's possible to get a ticket on the day of the game. I guess I could always contact my hotel in Bologna for assistance as well. Was just hoping to order them ahead of time so that it's one less thing to worry about when I get to Italy.

You should be fine. Italian second tier football isn't very popular.

Tickets are required to have names on them, particularly for non Italians. This means that it is easy enough to buy them the day before, but on matchday itself it could be an issue. When I have bought tickets before, I have needed ID - usually a passport, but a UK drivers licence has also worked for me.
