UPDATE: It has come to my attention via Reddit, that these tickets really must be bought in person and used immediately. Perhaps some are truly for sale but there is a consensus that the tour agencies buy them up before any individual has a chance to. Either that or they really don't sell them. I kind of feel it is the latter lol. I will keep my eyes on it and if I can't buy online I will take my chances to buy them in person. I really want the stairs + elevator vs all elevator experience. If anyone has any other ideas, let me know!
ORIGINAL:
These combined tickets (walk to (stairs to 2nd floor + elevator to summit) are never available. No matter when I check, even logging in at midnight Paris time, they are sold out for the last available day. There seems to be a problem. I have contacted them but does anyone here have any helpful advice? We would like to walk up to the 2nd floor so we can see the structure up close but also ride the elevator to the summit. We are not going to be there until December so I do have time but I'm concerned about this lack of ability to purchase no matter the time of day or the fact that I'm choosing the last available day (tickets become available 60 days before date). Help?
