Hey i will be in Paris this weekend I looked at getting tickets to notre dame but seems like they are to early for me. Looking to go sometime in the afternoon anyone recommend any sites ? I tried vaitor but those are too early. Could I wait in line ? I'm guessing waiting in line might be long ?

No.. you will wait.. and if you mean for Towers .. you will likely wait quite a while. Its worth it to get there early before it opens.

It almost sounds like you were actually searching for tickets to the Eiffel Tower. You can just walk into the Notre Dame Cathedral, or line up to climb the tower - never heard of tickets being sold online at all. If you are looking at the Eiffel Tower, it does sound like the waits may be long to walk up in the afternoon. Paris.easypasstours.com may still have availability in the afternoon for this coming weekend.

The Cathedral itself is free to enter. But the towers do require a ticket. The National Monuments Centre for Paris shows the tower entrance fee to be 8.50 Euros, but does not offer the ability to purchase on-line.

If you have the Paris Museum Pass, entrance to Notre Dame towers is included.

Were you looking for a private tour company? Otherwise, and as previously noted, there is no cost to enter the cathedral and I did not experience a line with my visit. There is a cost for the tower, covered by the Paris Museum Pass, but you will wait in line as only a finite number of folks are allowed up, and entrance depends on how many descend. The crypt costs money, however, cannot speak to the wait in line as I did not do it.
If you are looking for a tour, consider the free audio tour available on this website. I found it rather nice!

Hi Rudy, Discover Walks (http://www.discoverwalks.com/paris-walking-tours/notre-dame-paris-tour/) offers a tour that includes Notre Dame. It's at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. every day. According to the website, it's free and you pay/tip the guide what you want at the end of the tour. I'm planning to do this tour on my next visit. As others mentioned, there's no charge to walk through the Cathedral on your own.
