The investigation comes after reports from consumers of difficulties accessing them on the dealer’s website.
The competition watchdog is probing the official vendor Società Cooperativa Culture (CoopCulture), Musement, GetYourGuide, Tiqets and Viator in relation to claims that tickets for the Colosseum Archaeological Park are not available online.
It is believed they are being bought up by secondary ticketing platforms for resale.
Tickets grant access to the Colosseum, the Palatine, the Roman Forum and the Domus Aurea.
“About time too!” said Colosseum Archaeological Park director Alfonsina Russo, commenting to ANSA on the news.
“Last year I filed a complaint with the postal police about these hoardings. It all started from there,” she continued, adding that the finance police are also conducting an investigation.
“I believe these are the first results,” said Russo.
