Si può salire a piedi fino all'86° piano? Soffro di claustrofobia e sono completamente terrorizzato dagli ascensori... Preferisco farmi 86 piani a piedi: ma è possibile? O bisogna prendere per forza l'ascensore?

If you book a time on the website, is the express entry necessary? I'm confused as to why we need to "skip the line" if the time of entry is booked in advance. Also, if we decide to buy a citypass (or something similar), how do we book a time for this attraction as the website implies that prebooking is required, but I also need to pay at time of booking, TIA

How long need to spend to see the exhibit in 2nd floor? and how long need to spend to tour on 80th floor? thanks.

If I book the time slot 6:30-6:45pm, can I come earlier than 6:30pm or I must come between the time slot 6:30-6:45pm? also, as the sunset time is at about 8pm, can I tour the 2nd floor and 80th floor first before going up to 86th observation deck? (what is the closing time for 2nd and 80th floor, the same the 86th floor?) how long is the waiting time for the elevator going up to 86th floor near sunset hour? is there a particular elevator going to and from between 86th and 80th floor? thanks a lot.

Whst is the busiest time to avoid ? How much time us needed to visit ? Is the queue jump worth it?

I bought tickets the same day I was going and haven’t received email of my tickets, am I able to go in and show proof of my confirmation number?

Greeting travelers! Question: How long long in the line at the Empire State Building with a Red Carpet Pass at sunset? If I book tickets at 8 p.m., will I be able to make it to sunset at 8:31 p.m.? TIA

Can we still purchase 102nd floor tickets on site, if you have a City pass that covers the 86th floor visit?

Do the names on the tickets have to match, or is it OK if they all match the purchaser's name? The digital tickets I received for me and my partner via email both have my name on them.

Should I get the Express Pass for the Empire State Building? This is the last thing I need to buy for my trip, and I have been heavily debating. I will be there on a Saturday in very late July. Will I really be fighting long lines this late in the day? I will be eating at State Bar and Grill before I go (5:00 p.m. reservation) which is another reason I thought I should get the express pass if I want to make it up to the 86th floor for 8:00 p.m (sunset hour)? -Regular ticket (Both floors). $103(tax included plus sunset) -Express Pass (both floors, tax, plus sunset) $140 Or could I buy the regular ticket for 8:30 p.m. Both floors. This is the time after sunset. It’s the cheapest at $86.00(tax included) However, if I showed up for the sunset view anyway (8:00) would I be allowed in? One other option is to buy the 86-floor express ticket than buy the top-floor ticket at the kiosk? How much would that be if I did this?
