Colosseum Tickets online question

[ixmnrs]

When purchasing Colosseum tickets online, there is a discounted fare for EU -18 +65. Does anyone know if that means that ONLY EU passport holders that fall in those age groups qualify or do all seniors and children?

Discounts only good for EU citizens.

I tried purchasing Colosseum tickets today. First with a VISA, then next with a MasterCard. Neither one went through. I don't have any problems buying items on any other site! Has anyone had the same problem?

You may want to contact your credit card company.

 

When I purchased my colosseum underground/3rd level tour last week I got a message on my machine from my credit card company to call them immediately because they had detected potential fraudulent activity with my card. I called them and it was the colosseum tickets and they were holding the purchase until I confirmed it. I did and they put it through.

 

I knew that when traveling I needed to let them know the dates and locations I would be gone but it did not occur to me that I needed to let them know ahead of time of any overseas purchases.

 

My cc was Capital and I have always been pleased. This is the first time this has happened where they held the purchase until confirmation.

Thanks for the confirmation, that's what I thought...too late to get the EU passports before the trip though. I wonder if identity cards will work?
