Borghese gallery ticket & reservation

HI, I was advised that I needed to wait until today to buy a ticket and make my reservation, i.e., 3 weeks from now which is Oct 14th,
I tried, but still no luck. I am finding this purchase difficult to make and have spent hours on this task. I feel like time is running out.
Please help. Thanks, Lorrie

Lorrie, the problem is that they're changing over an exhibit at the gallery and so ticket sales haven't been available beyond Oct. 6th for some time. This has been going on for awhile so the only thing I can tell you is to keep checking into the website to see when they activate ticketing beyond that date.

I'm having the same problem as Lorrie but with less anxiety so far, since I don't want to visit until October 31. I've been checking regularly but there's no movement. Not sure I understand why the special exhibit is hanging up the reservation process for the regular exhibits, but I've long been baffled by the Art World.

Maybe if I just wait till October 7 the system will either be running or will have expired permanently. That might work for Lorrie too. They now have times available as early as October 4, eleven days from now, so it seems like Lorrie will have a good chance of getting in on the 14th if they open the system before the 3rd. But they're looking at an online stampede if they wait much longer.

Are you listening, Galleria Borghese? You do monitor this forum, don't you?

I was just on their website and they finally added days up through October 23rd! I'm trying for the beginning of November so my wait continues!

Excellent news, Joyce, and thanks for the update. I'd clicked into the site yesterday before posting my reply to Lorrie's question and it was still stuck on 10/6. The web staff must have (finally) activated additional dates this morning, now that they're back to work.

I just got the tickets for the week of 10/12 - it wouldn't accept my visa card, but I took the suggestion to check paypal and then enter my cc number. I don't have a paypal account but was able to do it this way. Very strange.

Wow -- they were listening! Now I'll wait till they open up Oct 31.
