How to Book a Pantheon Tour for a Large Group of More Than 25 People

For a large group of more than 25, the smoothest option is a dedicated group booking or a guided group tour, because standard online booking is generally capped at around 25 tickets per account. Splitting across accounts is possible but messy, so a group arrangement or an operator who handles big parties is usually the way to go. Here’s how to organise tickets for a large group without a headache at the door.

The per-account limit

Standard online booking through the official channel typically allows up to around 25 tickets per account in a single transaction. For most families and small groups that’s plenty, but a party of more than 25 — a club, a school, a tour group, an extended family reunion — runs into that ceiling, which is why a different approach is needed for larger numbers.

Option 1: A guided group tour

The simplest solution for a big group is to book a guided group tour through an operator who caters to larger parties. The operator handles the entry arrangements, a guide leads the group in, and you avoid juggling multiple bookings. It also adds context and someone to shepherd everyone — invaluable when you’re coordinating dozens of people.

Option 2: A dedicated group reservation

Organised groups can also use dedicated group arrangements, which have their own rules and procedures and are designed for larger numbers. If you’re managing a sizeable party and want entry without a full guided tour, contact the official ticketing service or an operator who arranges group reservations to set it up correctly for your group size.

Option 3: Splitting across accounts

In theory you could split a large group across several accounts, each booking up to the cap, but this is fiddly: you’d need multiple email addresses, separate payments, and careful coordination of names and time slots so everyone enters together. For more than 25 people, a proper group arrangement is almost always less stressful and more reliable.

Nominal tickets and large groups

Remember that every ticket is nominal — it carries a named visitor who must match their ID. For a big group, that means collecting everyone’s full name in advance and keeping it organised. Appoint one coordinator to gather names, make or manage the booking, and hold the confirmations, so nothing falls through the cracks on the day.

Free days and large groups

Avoid free-admission days for a large group if you can. On the first Sunday of the month and other free days, you can’t pre-book and everyone queues on site for a free ticket — a long, chaotic wait for a big party. A paid, pre-arranged slot on another day means your whole group enters smoothly at a set time.

Tips for a smooth large-group visit

• Appoint one coordinator to manage the booking and names.
• Book well in advance, especially in peak season.
• Collect everyone’s name exactly as on their ID.
• Choose an off-peak slot for easier entry and movement.
• Brief the group that it’s a working church — modest dress, quiet, no large bags.
• Build in time for the entrance and security check for a big party.

What about school and educational groups?

School and educational visits generally use special group arrangements, and certain academic categories may qualify for free or reduced entry with documentation. If you’re organising a school trip, contact the official ticketing service or a specialist operator to set it up properly and confirm any eligibility for your students and teachers.

A coordinator’s checklist

• Confirm the final headcount before booking.
• Collect every name exactly as on each person’s ID.
• Choose the format — guided group tour or dedicated reservation.
• Pick an off-peak slot and avoid free days.
• Share the meeting point and time with everyone in advance.
• Keep all confirmations in one place on your phone.

Appoint a coordinator, gather everyone’s names, choose an off-peak slot, and let the arrangement do the heavy lifting so your whole group enters together.
