Official-source ticket workflow

Check official ticket sources before recommending a Rome booking path

Use this section to keep the Rome planner trustworthy. Ticket rules, reseller warnings, names on tickets, and availability can change, so the page should point users toward verification instead of promising fixed access.

Rome attraction	Official-source check	Planning action
Colosseum / Forum / Palatine	Check official ticketing, ticket names, entry rules, and availability.	Do not overbook arrival day; compare official tickets and guided options carefully.
Pantheon	Check the official museum/culture ticket source and unauthorized-reseller warnings.	Confirm ticket method and current entry rules before the daily plan is locked.
Vatican Museums	Use the official Vatican Museums portal and watch for similar-domain scam warnings.	Give Vatican day enough time and avoid stacking too many timed tickets.
Borghese / passes / tours	Check official rules, booking windows, inclusions, and cancellation terms.	Only recommend a pass if included attractions match the user’s itinerary.
