My husband and I have a trip to Milan planned for late September. We moved and had no internet connection for a week or so and the Last Supper date reservations got filled for September while we were waiting for our internet service. I tried the other 2 companies Rick suggests in his Italy travel book and they are filled as well.....wow. Any ideas out there? I am sick that we will be there and there seems to be no way in to see this masterpiece. Would so appreciate any help from this forum! Thanks!

Jane, cruise through these recent (last 6 months) forum posts on the same subject for some ideas (skip your own question which shows up on the list):

Jane we had the same problem. I tried Walks of Italy but they didn't even know if they would have tours in September for the Last
supper. We were able to secure a spot with Ticket Italy for a 3 hour walking Milan tour that includes the Last Supper. We had preferred to just go on our own but this was the best we could do. We are also going mid September and have a short time in Milan. We didn't want to miss the Last Supper. Try some of the tour companies. Good luck!

Try Select Italy, which has a ticket-only option (no city tour).

WOW! Thank you all for your encouragement. I visited 5 tour company websites and all were completely booked for the month of September! I persisted....literally googled THE LAST SUPPER tickets and went down the line, trying each website....I finally found one and got 2 tickets for 9/26/17.......miracle! I would suggest that if you even think about wanting these tickets that you be a lot quicker to book than I was...I really just want to know that I can get into the door. I will do my homework before seeing this masterpiece and make certain I am ready to appreciate its beauty, good tour guide or bad tour guide! Thanks again!

In case anyone visits the Los Angeles area, there's a mosaic copy of The Last Supper at the original Forest Lawn -- free, no tickets required. Also copies of many famous European statues (with fig leaves when required for American sensibilities.)

There is a hold up for September sales for affiliate companies, that is the reason that most companies have availability for September yet.
Normally they would be out for months now.
