Looking for timed-entry tickets [separate days] for visit in April to the Acaddemia and the Uffizi. The official B-ticket site doesn't seem to like my existing credit cards. Can anyone recommend a reliable [honest] broker or travel site that might fill the bill? We don't want a guided or even audio tour, just timed-entry so we can avoid the line. Also, I'd like to be able to print the tickets here at home and take them with me. [My phone is just a phone, i.e., don't want mobile tickets. Yeah, we're old] Many thanks for any suggestions.

Worth mention that B-ticket is not longer the official seller for Uffizi tickets. That has changed to coopculture.

(I hope you can get into this website as it has given me nothing but a blank page for weeks now, although it seems to work fine for some others.)

To add, which credit cards are you trying to use? It may be that you need to set up 3D credit card verification but let us know what you're trying to use for the transactions.
(And I still can't get into the https://www.coopculture.it/en/products/gli-uffizi-entrance-ticket/ site. Driving me nuts.)
Also, you could make your reservations over the phone. From https://www.uffizi.it/en/tickets (official website):
Buy via Call Center
800 615 615 - Toll-free number
+39 055 0354135 - From abroad, mobile phones, public offices not authorised to use the toll-free number (e.g. schools)
Monday to Sunday, from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (Florence time.)
Whatever you do, do NOT buy from this site (linked below) that's cleverly designed to look official but definitely is not, and charges WAY over the price the Uffizi's own ticketing service does. There are tons of terrible reviews regarding Walker Tours LLC (Feel The City tours is one of their businesses) doing the same with other attractions.
