It took just four minutes for Pescara to gain the advantage in front of a shocked Stadio Romeo Menti crowd.
Mario Sampirisi tried to intercept a Francesco Zampano cross, but clumsily knocked it into his own net instead.
Vicenza drew level on the stroke of half-time thanks to a marvellous Federico Moretti solo run, dribbling all the way from midfield to score.
Birkir Bjarnason was in the Pescara squad last time they were in Serie A and he contributed to climbing back there by nodding in a Matteo Politano cross.
Ransford Selasi risked making it 3-1 for the visitors, his right-foot strike skimming the upright, but instead Andrea Cocco equalised one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
A victory here would put Vicenza through to the Final, though Pescara kept pushing and Nicolas Bremec flew to palm a Federico Melchiorri curler away.
It's a remarkable story considering Coach Massimo Oddo was only appointed before the final round of the Serie B regular season.
Either Pescara or Bologna will be in the top flight next term along with already-promoted Carpi and Frosinone.
