tickets for Vatican

Hi there,
Quick question.
For the last 2 days trying to buy tickets on line using this site ( (http://www.museivaticani.va/content/museivaticani/en/visita-i-musei/scegli-la-visita/musei-e-collezioni/musei-vaticani-e-cappella-sistina/-i-aperture-notturne--i---visita-libera-musei-e-cappella-sistina.html) for evening vatican visit, and no success. The site is kicking me out , used couple different VALID cc. Will I be able to buy these tickets while in Rome?
Thanks!!!!

Have you notified your CC companies of purchase overseas? Visa cards must be Visa Verified.

Were you using your VIsa card? If so, call your card company to ask to speak to the Fraud Department or the "Verify by Visa Protocol" specialist, they will clear your transaction.

Call your credit card company again and ask to speak to the "verified by visa" representative. Don't speak to anyone else, they can't help you. Once you are on the phone with the "verified by visa" rep have them enact the protocol. Your transactions will then go through. It's a very simple step but it needs to be done.

Did you by chance use a MasterCard ? If you did, you need to call them and ask for their security dept, have them enact their security protocol for travel overseas.

If you're using your ATM card and just called the bank, that sometimes won't work. You need to call the issuer of the card.

You can use a ticket broker, it will cost more but you will get tickets. I use Select Italy.

Or, splurge on a tour that starts early in the morning or on Friday evening.
