The Colosseum in Rome is one of the most famous landmarks in the world - but a major change to its booking system has left some tourists unable to enter the iconic site
A local in Rome has issued an alert to travellers after a major ticketing change has left tourists struggling to gain entrance to one of the Italian capital's most iconic landmarks.
In her warning, Brianne detailed how the overhaul has seen tour operators sell tickets they can't guarantee, leaving holidaymakers high and dry just before their scheduled visits. Offering advice on how to bypass this issue, she laid out alternative means of securing legitimate admission without relying on third-party sellers. According to Brianne, patrons could either join the on-site queue on the day at the risk of a lengthy wait or book directly through official channels, reports the Mirror.
“Tour operators must now buy all of their tickets through the B2B channel. So here’s the good news about that: as of May 1, you can buy tickets directly through the Colosseum booking site, Colosseo.IT and the new myColosseum app.
