No Need to Buy A Ticket to Go Inside

I just walk through inside the Basilica with ease and no one ask about my ticket which I receive to late. Is like I shouldn't need to buy a ticket to go inside

No more line

Thanks to the information received during the booking process, I arrived at the basilica and entered without queueing. No queue under the sun, I arrived and entered and finally I was able to pray on the tomb of Pope Francis. Thanks to the time saved, I was able to finish all the visits I had planned for my "Roman day"!
