Trying to buy Pantheon tickets direct- frustrated

Hi- I have been trying for weeks to get a direct ticket/time for Pantheon. I found the official site www.museaiitaliani.it but it is super confusing. I was able to pick a time/day (only 5 EUR) but then I had to create an account. No big deal. Then it wants me to enter my SPID?!?! This is what it says:

SPID, the Public Digital Identity System, is the access system that allows you to use, with a single digital identity, the online services of the Public Administration and accredited private individuals. If you already have a digital identity, log in with your carrier's credentials. If you don't have a digital identity yet, request one from one of the managers. You can find more information on the website of the Agency for Digital Italy.

So am I correct in assuming because I am an American I am just going to have to pay 4x the price for a ticket from a tour agency? I don't want to "walk up" the day of and I really don't want to spend another hour going down the rabbit hole trying to get a SPID (whatever that is). Any suggestions? Am I going to run into the same thing getting Uffizi, Academia, and Bobili tickets? I just wanted to buy direct. I don't need a high priced tour. Any help greatly appreciated!!

It was the same three weeks ago on the ground. So I lined up at 8:30 in the ticket purchase line... waited till it opened at 9... Bought my ticket and was inside with my ticket by 9:20 without much of a crowd. Good Luck.

Just click the "login with your email" button. They put it right under the SPID button for a reason.
The switch language menu is right above the pagoPA logo.

I was able to buy 5 euro tickets a few days ago. I had to create an account, then I had to pay with paypal because it wouldn't accept my credit card. Hope it works for you too.
Don’t use the site that charges 15 euro unless you want their tour.
