Purchasing Pompeii tickets- from which official website?

Posted by on

Hello Forum,
I am trying to purchase the excavations of Pompeii tickets for 4 adults and 3 children under 18 years of age for July 5th, 2017. I could not navigate tickets purchase through the official website and http://www.coopculture.it/en/ticket_office.cfm shows no results when i searched it for Pompeii tickets.

Could someone please help by providing a link or method to purchase the tickets for Pompeii ?
I have searched on this website and otherwise but it seems that most of the tickets are through 3rd party operators that include a large markup.
TIA,
Smita

I have just taken the Circumvesuviana to Pompeii Scavi stop, walked to the site and purchased tickets there (May and October visits -- line was not long) Cash or credit cards.

Did the same as Laura. Also picked up a two hour private tour guide at the same time. Very easy. Unless there is a big discount see no reason to purchase in advance.

Just buy them at the entry.

RS has a good (free!) audio guide

Ditto to the above: we bought ours at the entrance with no difficulties.

Note: there are lots of review comments about avoiding ticket sellers/information booths/"free map" touts near the train staton. Be sure to purchase your ticket at the official entrance (Porta Marina). You will receive a map and guidebook with your ticket.

I'd rock up on a day that isn't so hot and just pay at the ticket window.
