Borghese Gallery Online Ticketing...anyone had problems?

Posted by (Atlanta, GA, USA) on

Hey gang-

Anyone else had trouble completing a transaction with the Borghese Gallery Online ticketing? I went to Rick's recommended site http://www.galleriaborghese.it/borghese/en/edefault.htm I clicked Online Booking and created an account and everything seemed to go fine. Except that both my American Express and my MasterCard declined the transaction. I even have a MasterCard SecureCode since it is often required for making online European purchases from the US, but no help. I routinely purchase tickets for Swiss Rail, DeutscheBahn, and Trenitalia online from the US before traveling, so not sure if this is something with the Borghese site or its ticket issuer?

Thanks!

Dave

Hi David,

I purchased tickets on-line last July through the site listed below with no issues.

Thank you Jean! I just checked and that link leads to the same booking site that the Borghese website sent me to- TicketOne. I'll give it another try tomorrow- maybe just a glitch.

Dave: We've had trouble with several European companies/venues not taking our US Visa card, so we opened a Paypal account a couple of years ago. I used it just a week or so ago to book tickets to the Borghese. Might be worth signing up. You don't have to use it for anything else, but you will get a lot of annoying emails both from Paypal itself and scammers.

Thanks gang. Waited a day and this time it worked. It's Italia after all! ;)

Happy New Year!
