I don't think so, and I don't think they will not sell tickets to 
foreigners.

I have been trying to get it to reproduce the error, but I haven't been 
able to yet.  I will have to check into safari and see what kind of 
tools it might have to find out what the reason or request being blocked 
is next time it appears.  Any insight into doing that would be helpful. 
If one had to do this for browsing every day it would become tiresome.
