How it works
Outside the Duomo di Milano on Piazza del Duomo, unauthorised touts approach queuing tourists claiming to sell official skip-the-line tickets at a premium. The tickets are either counterfeit or genuine tickets purchased with stolen credit cards, which can be invalidated at the entrance. Some touts pose as representatives of "official" tour companies and carry printed lanyards to appear credible.
