The ticketing experience worked out just fine, the only negative point I would like to mention is that on the day of the visit to the Cathedral we had to wait for more than 1 hour on the line along with dozens of other people, all of us under heavy heat, even though we had booked a guided tour! It was not pleasant! I must say however that our tour guide, Rosa, was extremely nice and made every efforts to overcome the situation but it was a matter of internal organization at the Cathedral. As a suggestion, they shoul be more careful with the booking of the slots to avoid these situations, particularly when major crowds are expected.

Very accommodating guide, detailed explanations of the structures and city once we were on the terraces and dome, and the ticket we were given lasts 72 hours so we were able to gain entry to the museum behind the cathedral, the baptistry and the bell tower at a time that suited us on a different day. Well worth the price, even if it is just to skip the lines!
