Around 1,000 Roma fans queued overnight and in the rain to buy tickets for the Champions League semi-final second leg against Liverpool at the Stadio Olimpico in two weeks' time.
Tickets for Roma's biggest European game in 34 years went on sale at 10am on Wednesday and fans were desperate to ensure they did not miss out. Police provided coffee for the hardy supporters waiting in line.
Liverpool host Roma in the first leg at Anfield next Tuesday before the Italians get their chance to exact revenge for their defeat in the 1984 final when they meet again on May 2.
