Rome - E-ticket websites down?
For about a week now, I have not been able to get the websites for the Colosseum, the Villa Borghese and a couple other places to load. I've tried both Safari and Firefox, computers and phones - they all get the same message:
"The connection has timed out
An error occurred during a connection to colosseo.it.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computers network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web."
I can get broker sites which sell combo passes to the attractions, but I don't need a combo pass. Anybody have a backdoor to these websites, or know what is going on?

The official seller for many of these is this site: https://www.coopculture.it/en/tickets/
Give that a go.
Give that a go.

These sites are only available during during working hours (local time). I won't try to guess why. Try first thing in the morning & you'll see them up and working.

Try www.tosc.it for those.
I was able to book a ticket for the Galleria Doria Pamphilij with only the usual name/address/email/CC, so opted for that.

Finally got access to the site when it was up, found a time that worked for me, tried to buy a ticket. The form required not just the usual name/address/email/credit card number, but date and place of birth, gender, and a few more questions that had nothing to do with a simple financial transaction. At that point, I opted out of that site.
