I am going to visit Venice, Rome, Florence, and Pisa. I purchased all the major site tickets.
It seems I have a pdf copy of all the tickets, except for the colosseum, which I have to pick up from the office.
It doesn't say on any of these tickets that I need a physical copy, so should I be good by just displaying the tickets on my phone?
Print them out and take them with you so there is no doubt.
Or list each individual site and someone can confirm whether or not you can use a mobile to display at entry.
It is not unusual that some sites would require a print copy. That info should be listed somewhere on the website when you buy
And if you lose your phone or it breaks, what’s your back up?
Yeah when i print them out and put them in order it is easy to stay organized.
Which compannies did you use to purchase your tickets for? We are heading to those locations in Italy and would like if you'd share what tickets or tours you purchased.
I always print mine as a back up. Even in the US, when I've relied on my phone, I can't count how many times my phone will freeze or something goes awry right when I'm trying to get them scanned. It's not usually a big deal b/c it will usually work in a few min, but some of those sites have long lines you don't want to hold up! Another options is if you're staying in places where you can print them the night before, instead of pre-printing everything before flying out. However, the risk with that is that I tried to get into my Gmail from a hotel's computer to do that (for something I'd just bought that day), and Gmail wouldn't let me access my account without a two-step authentication which was a text to my US number that I couldn't access with a European SIM card in my phone (it was too much of a hassle to swap them back out, so I just took my chances with my phone).
