Frustrated ordering online tix to Uffizi, Accademia and Colosseum

Every time I go to the official sites for these tickets and get through the entire process, even entering my financial credit card info, it states " processing" then an Error message pops up with no explanation. Anyone else having these problems? I've ordered these tickets online a couple years ago and never had problems. Any advice?

Have you already told your bank you were going to make online purchases on foreign sites?

Otherwise, since you had no problems 2 years ago, you may be trying to use a card not enrolled in the new security protocols like Verified-by-Visa and Mastercard-SecureCode. In this case you must call your bank and ask to speak with a manager who knows what Verified-by-Visa is.

With those sites i have had to try up to the different credit cards to find one that was accepted.

The Colosseum requires a credit card with another layer of protection. This is MasterCard Secure or Visa Verified. If your bank participates in these programs you can set up a pin to use on these sites requiring it. I actually had to get a new Visa since my financial institution did not participate. I do not know if the other sites you are trying has this requirement but it seems to be becoming more popular in Europe.
