Creative ways up the Eiffel?

So impulse 3 week trip to Europe has its downsides, like finding out that things have changed in the last 15 yrs since going up Tour d'Eiffel, such as online tickets!

Only thing available now is 3-4X marked up.
Any creative angles other than Fat Tire to this?
How long a line is likely June 8 or 9 either very early or late?

And is just walking/climbing up an alternative to the robust? Or is this line likely ridiculous too?
Thanks,
drj

Hi drj, there have been many threads on this topic. My suggestion, try a "behind the scenes" tour with Get Your Guide. Just a few euros more than regular tickets and you get a one hour tour and skip the lines to the second floor. It's a good deal. Other options include standing in the line (maybe for a few hours in June...) or taking the steps. Whatever you decide, it's worth it. Have a good trip!

I was over 45 first time i walked up, and not a fit person. Any normal healthy person can do it. If you have bad knees no, but, as i said any healthy person can do it,,,just go slow, the view going up through legs is kind of cool.
