Hello everyone,
Have you ever purchased tickets to the San Marco Basilica before? I have tried to purchase tickets to skip the line, and it appears that they have already sold out for July 2025. The website is not the most user friendly, as it does not let us know if the day has been sold out or not. Perhaps I did not book enough in advance. Side note : I'm able to get 2 tickets for tomorrow in my cart and there is several time slots options as well, but all the other dates are blacked out (little clickable circle around the dates for June), yet I can click them without having any possibility regarding time slots. July, August and September are not even showing these circles as if the tickets are not yet available ? Am I doing something wrong ?
Have any of you ever tried purchasing tickets the day of? How was your experience? Did you have to wait in line for a long time? All other blogs and travel guides I have read tell me that the lines can be daunting. I am an early bird, so I would go as early as I possibly can. Do you know when I can start lining up for tickets purchases for same-day visits? I've also read somewhere that there is a QR code at the end of the queue so you can buy tickets directly on your phone for a dame-day visit, would that be an option ?
Is there another way to get tickets ? And is it a really big loss if we aren't able to see it ?
Thank you!
