What time should I arrive at Inalpi Arena?

Arrival at Inalpi Arena — the two gates

Arrival strategy here is genuinely simpler than at most sports events, and it's worth saying why: every ATP Finals ticket, from Tribuna Galleria up to Premium Hospitality, is a fully reserved seat — there's no general-admission tier, no unreserved block to stake out, and no weather-exposed embankment to claim ground on. Your seat is yours whenever you arrive. What actually matters is picking the right entrance and not cutting your arrival too close on session days.

Two entrances — check which one is yours

Standard match tickets (Tribuna Galleria, Tribuna Platea, and the tier below Premium Hospitality) use the north gates on Piazzale Grande Torino — the same side as the Fan Village, so arriving with some time to spare gives you the Play Garden or food court before your session rather than a walk-straight-to-your-seat arrival. Premium Hospitality guests (Smash, Ace, ATP No. 1 Club) enter through separate south gates on Corso Sebastopoli — a genuinely different side of the building, not just a different queue at the same door. At 183 metres long, walking around to the wrong entrance is a real, time-costing mistake, so confirm which gate your ticket type uses before you arrive, not once you're on the wrong side.

An Olympic ice hockey arena turned season-finale tennis venue, Turin's largest indoor space

What makes Inalpi Arena work for the season finale isn't tennis pedigree — it has none, really, next to Wimbledon's Centre Court or the O2's tennis history in London — it's that Turin built something genuinely oversized for a hockey tournament that lasted two weeks in 2006, and has spent the two decades since finding new uses for that scale. You're watching the top eight players in the world inside a room built to Olympic and touring-superstar capacity, not a repurposed exhibition hall. The sustainability certification (UNI EN ISO 20121, for event management) is a small detail, but it's evidence this is a venue that's been actively maintained and run at a professional international standard continuously since the Olympics, not left to coast on its Games-era reputation. For a first-time visitor, the practical upshot is real: sightlines built for hockey and basketball translate well to tennis, and a venue built to move 15,000 people efficiently handles a 12,000-seat tennis crowd without the bottlenecks smaller, older arenas often have.

Worth knowing

—The venue has gone by three names since 2005 — PalaOlimpico, Pala Alpitour, and now Inalpi Arena (since 2023). If you're researching using older sources, all three refer to the same building.
—General admission and corporate hospitality use entirely separate gates on opposite sides of the arena (north vs. south) — confirm which one your ticket type uses before you're standing at the wrong entrance.

When to actually arrive

Since every seat is reserved, there's no arrival-time penalty on where you sit — the real reason to arrive early is everything around the match, not the match itself. Every session pairs a doubles match with a singles match, so arriving in time for the doubles (rather than timing your arrival to the singles start) means you don't miss real tennis while you're still finding your seat. On session days, build extra time into your tram journey specifically — trams 4 and 10 run noticeably busier as match-goers and regular commuters overlap (see the Getting There guide).
