Because this, and more very strange rules it is very hard for ticketing systems to get into the Italian market. Some examples:

- not allowed to change to time or name of the event after the 1st ticket is sold

- only allowed section names in halls from a know list

- free tickets on events... can only do this under strange conditions

- smart card application, for encryption, must run on a physical server in Italy. You should not be able to log into the ticketing box office if that smart card application is not running.

Totally agree. And how does it work when you measure a thing and it is 1,35 inch do you in the US convert it to fractions? And how then do you find this fraction?

Fun fact: In the Netherlands you have to make sure you 'checkin' to the right transportation company

In Italy there are competing fast trains on the same track, all with a red color. With people on the station selling tickets to only one of them. ... So I asked them for the first train from Vincenza to Milan at 13:30... That is 14:44...I bought the 14:44 ticket from "Italo". Then found out there was a "Trenitalia" at 14:04! ... Sorry mister.. this was OUR first train..not THE first train.
