Does anyone know how to get last supper tickets on-line now? www.cenacolavinciano.net or .com or .org just lead to overpriced private sellers. Is there no official ticket site? As a last resort does the phone # Rick gives still work? I've not gotten it to work. How far in advance can you buy tix?
Thanks.

I used a private broker a year ago when I couldn't get tickets online, there was a markup in price but if it's something you really want to do, it might be worth it. I used "Select Italy", got a very prompt email confirmation after buying online, and was happy to have the ticket. Tip: don't sign any petitions in the piazza outside.

I was just there last week with tickets I reserved over the phone in June. No pictures are allowed and I am not sure if you can get to the gift shop without going through the tour. I am sure there is a way, but I didn't see one.

I see you want tickets several months out - they aren't released until much closer to the time. My advice - call. It always works for us. There are more tickets on the phone than on-line.

The tour operators seem to suck up all the tickets quickly. We were there on Tuesday, and since it was our only full day in Milan, we bit the bullet and booked a 3-hour walking tour which ended with a 15 minute visit to the "Last Supper". The cost was 52 Euro per person. Having said that, we found it to be a good value with a truly excellent and knowledgeale guide, Ludovic Goudin. It included a half hour inside the Duomo, walk through the Gallaria "Every place to eat here is a rip off except the McDonalds!" A walk past La Scala through the Castello Sforzesco and then on to the Last Supper. He gave plenty of suggestions on neighborhoods in Milan for good food and "eye candy". Since it was the end of Fashion Week he suggested going to the Corso Sempione. "All the models will be there. Of course they're all 12 years old, 6 ft tall, and weigh 100 lb." Our actual "Last Supper" ticket stub showed the cost to be 8 Euro. We all got radio receivers with ear bugs so we could hear his running commentary. We also got walkee-talkees to hang around our necks which he collected after leaving the Duomo. Turns out their sole purpose was to act as entry badges to get in through the Duomo group tour entrance. Anyway, we enjoyed it and got in to see the "Last Supper". And no photos allowed, there is reproduction on the wall by the museum shop for photos which your friends will never know the difference.

Hi Ralph, Yes, you can enter the gift shop without seeing the Cenacolo.
If I recall correctly, it's located behind the basilica. If you ask the Santa Maria delle Grazie ticket office they will point you in the right direction
