    The ticket is for "all people". Not priority which is not clearly marked or obvious in a crowded rainy bus station. It's not clear especially for first time guests that you have to go to an "all people" entrance.

    The number, size and decoration of the rooms are impressive. The commentary on the audioguide is not always easy to follow. Despite the so-called "coupe-file" ticket, we had to wait a good 20 minutes to enter the palace.

    Convenient, I just hadn't understood that the La Fenice theater was not included in this ticket but just the audio guide for this tour....

    Easy to confirm the code but since we need to go to a machine to validate the ticket there really isn't any point to the pre-purchase. You can just purchase a ticket at the machine.
