The process of purchasing Sagrada Familia tickets almost makes me not want to go to Sagrada Familia.

This rant is in good humor, this whole ordeal was so amusing.

I don't know how many of y'all have tried buying tickets for this church/museum but holy cow their purchase process is a nightmare. Spent an hour messing around on different devices trying to determine why my purchase was failing.

I later find out there is a known issue where their platform simply just fails transactions being made from public or hotel wifi.

Okay, fine, I start using my phone hotspot. Now its an entirely brand new error when checking out. Confirmed with my banks neither of the 3 cards I tried are blocked. I tried a WF visa card, it said there was a chase error, I tried a chase visa card, also said it was a chase error, tried an apple discover card, said it was an unknown error.

Finally, I read online that AmEx cards are more likely to go through. I have the most basic amex so I don't really travel with it but I have the details saved on my desktop back at home.

I had to parsec remote into my computer 8000 miles away, and use chrome via my desktop via my laptop to go to the sagrada familia website, use my AmEx card, and finally, FINALLY went through.

I did have to compromise on the date/time though because with every attempt I made it would block out the tickets for 30 minutes and I eventually did single handedly "sell out" tickets for that time lmao.
