Does anyone know the secret code needed to make a purchase through Nexi?
I have tried purchasing the newish 72-hour combo Bargello/Accademia (Florence) ticket using Chrome and Firefox, with and without a VPN, and using a Mastercard and a Visa. I've also tried using Norton's VPN to supply an Italian address. All transactions have been rejected. (After the first failed transaction, I called my bank--no charge was presented to it.)
After several failures, I called the number supplied by the Bargello. The agent sent me a link to try a different site, but that site just connected to Nexi, with the same non-results.
I also tried booking only the Galleria dell' Accademia, since it is the only one of the 6 venues covered by the pass for which advance booking is really needed. Same dismal results.
I did have one previous experience with Nexi, when booking a hotel in Rome. In that case, after multiple failures I called the hotel directly and completed the transaction by bypassing Nexi.
Since major sites use Nexi, there must be some way to make it work....
Thank you for any advice!
