Sagrada Família tickets Web page

Yep, it’s legit.

Sagrada Família uses personalised tickets, so they often ask for your passport or ID number when you buy online. The ticket is tied to your name, and they can ask to see a matching ID at the entrance.

Main reason: too many people were reselling tickets, using fake QR codes, or buying them in bulk. Asking for ID helps stop scalpers and keeps things a bit more civilised in the “world’s most famous unfinished church” 😂

The Spanish are also pretty ID-heavy in general for tourism stuff (hotels, trains, some attractions), so it’s not unusual here. Part of it is security laws and tourism control, part of it is bureaucracy surviving from another darker era, and part of it is Spain trying to manage millions of tourists without the whole country turning into one giant queue with fake tickets and angry Germans.

Just make sure you’re buying from the official site or a trusted seller — there are tons of fake-looking ticket websites floating around. If it’s the official Sagrada Família website, then asking for passport details is totally normal.

That all adds up thank you now just got to get my group on the same page. With the world changing so fast we all just want to watch out for what my Uncle would call Nare do Wells.
