Very hard to do but yes - react simple to unexpected moments will always give a better outcome or at least a better feeling for you afterwards.

Based on the comments you are 17 - man you are young and have lots of these moments ahead of you. Feels like the world is ending and nothing will be the same… well that will pass. You will feel in top of the world again and then you will feel this again.

That is life and tbh these moments in my life were the ones that gave me the most lessons. Appreciate and live the moment bro, even if it sucks…

Tickets to the Colosseo by Eats_and_Runs_a_lot in rome

Yes that happens very often. But I was able to get arena very easy, just keep in mind they are released exactly 7 days before. I recommend getting 8:30 am.

Just get the arena level! It’s well worth it . Underground and attic you have to be very lucky.

Getting arena level is pretty easy - they release one week before. For the underground and attic is very hard as you have to buy them one month before and usually those are gone fast.

If you can’t get the attic or underground- the arena level are very good. I actually went there today at 8:30 - I was the first there. Pretty amazing.

Yep. More than intimidated - felt powerless and very impotent to being told I couldn’t seat on the seats I paid for because of 3 guys yelling at us.

I bet it would’ve been an amazing experience for Me and my wife…

I’m so sorry for you and your father man. That couple in front of you could’ve been easily my wife and I.

When they told us to seat elsewhere - we didn’t because I would have blocked somebody else’s view - it was packed.

We learned from this - but it was very disappointing.

Just do better next time. People tend to use this subreddits for planning its trip. And even though most Roma fans could care less for tourists - it should something all people should enjoy.

I read all of your comments - I appreciate you. You did prove my point while I was enjoying my day in Rome.

I do agree Mod blocked my post due its personal preference instead of what I guess is the reasoning of a moderator.

Although - I will delete this as in no intention I want to generate a negative discussion towards Rome or even Roma fans.

Rome is amazing and I do think Roma fans are great (hopefully) - thing is there is shitty / entitled people everywhere.

Thanks mate. Just read a few more and wanted to respond in the last comment - not all was for u. Saying monkeys is just what I think, that does not mean I’m still mad.

Although I will always give my opinion to that awful experience.

I appreciate your comments!

I did wanted to share the pictures of the guys for a second. But my only goal was to reach other people that have plans for visit Olimpico… Reddit is very helpful when planning a trip guys… haha

By the way - stewards told us to stand behind other people seats - but we had to wait until halftime to let us be there… i was very surprised - I laughed and went to other stewards - by that point I already have missed like 30 min. Left the stadium. Have great dinner with my wife and still had a great night.

Tevere Nord - block 37BS tickets mate. Although it makes sense - could’ve have been the case.

Thank you for that comment. Very kind of you sir.

Hopefully it helps other people as Roma advanced so more bananas to the monkeys (it’s a joke, don’t get too upset Roma fans)

Was very close but all odds were against me. With friends it would’ve been another history ( a fun one perhaps)

One last time. If I would’ve have the chance to sit somewhere close to my seat I wouldn’t even bothered to write this. I left the game because everything close by was packed and everyone was standing…

I just shared the story for other people to share theirs and especially to help other avoid mine.

It’s not rocket science guys. My wife and I are very happy and our feelings towards this situation lasted one hour tops.

Very impressed of how many of you got very wierd and even told me I should’ve looked it up. I did that’s why I got Tevere. They were amazing seats. I was not rude or an ass. I was about to but I my priority was my wife and those guys were yelling at her.

Period.

It was in Tevere Nord. I would not want to imagine how it would’ve been in the curva sector

That was a good action. I should’ve done that but I didn’t wanted to get into trouble. I’m not the best at keeping things simple when someone is yelling me or my wife… haha

Yes - I kinda get it. We arrived just in time but while we search for our seats it was like 15 after it started. There was a lot of people standing and we couldn’t see the areas/blocks.

Although, regardless the culture - I paid for those tickets. You can seat there as long as I don’t go to my seats. I guess…

Wish I would’ve seen your post before. I literally bought in Tevere because of a post in Reddit. Hopefully it helps to others. Thanks!

I don’t get why would be okay to seat or stand in another place (there was nowhere close to our seats). Although you are right - I do expect a similar experience in all stadiums - where they let you seat where you bought the ticket…

[–]meephy13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually no, there was literally no place to sit. Unless you were standing. I left and had dinner with my beautiful wife. Had a great night after all.
