We are visiting the end of October and would like to do both Verger and Queens gallery. I know that the verger must be purchased on arrival, even though I can purchase my entry in advance. I cannnot see where I can purchase entry to the new QG exhibit. Is it possibly just to early to purchase these tickets and if so, any idea if when advance tickets will be available for end of October . Since our time is tight, I don’t want to miss out on our window of visiting time.

Judy, unfortunately the website for the Queen's Gallery states that it's closed from Oct. 15 through Nov. 8th (click on "opening times"):

(The website seems to be a little buggy - or is for me, anyway - so you might have to be patient with it)

Do you mean the the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries at Westminster Abbey? Not the Queens Gallery at Buckingham Palace?
If the former, it says on the WA website that tickets for beyond August will be available online later in early July. As that’s about now, keep checking?

Yes, I was meaning the Queens Gallery Exhibit in Westminster Abbey, NOT Buckingham Palace. Whewww, was worried there for a few minutes that we wouldn’t see it. I guess I will check later in July on the website. Thanks anyway, for the replies.

Judy, apologies for the mixup: QG usually means the one at Buckingham, thus the confusion.
Very sorry that you were worried, and hope all ends well with your reservations (Westminster Abbey is my favorite go-to in London!)

Kathy, no worries! I see where one can get confused between the two. I was just shortening the typing without realizing the similarities. Thanks anyway!

Just a quick note to say that you’ll love the QDJG! We visited in June shortly after it opened. The exhibits are great, but even better is the opportunity to look down into the abbey from high above. Stunning views!
