Paris Museum Pass-how to get free tickets for sights that require reservations

I have the Paris Museum Pass and I am trying to reserve timed entry tickets for sights covered by the pass. Other than the Louvre sight, there is no option that says "Paris Museum Pass" so I don't have to enter a credit card to get the tix; or the sight will ask for a discount code. I have entered every number that appears on the PMP without luck.

Which museums are you trying to get timed entries for? Many of the others don't really require booking ahead for the Museum Pass.

Thanks for the link.

I have to edit my question slightly:

For sights that DON'T require reserved time slots but ARE covered by the PMP, I still want to get my free tickets now (for a July 2025 trip). How do I get a ticket without having to pay for it? There is no "Paris Museum Pass" option on the payment page.
I want to see: The d'Orsay, Cluny, Army, des Arts decoratifs, des arts et metiers, Rodin, and Pantheon.

This is all very confusing!

the Orsay doesn't require PMP holders to have a reservation or free ticket. I suspect that information will be available for the others on the list none of which tend to be very hard to get into. (except the Orsay)

Hi Krisy. From my experience in the past (and from the link provided it seems this is still the case): For the vast majority of sights, there are no advance reservations or advance 'tickets'. For those, just go to the sight and show them your pass and you will be let in. Have a great trip!

I agree with the others. You just walk up to the reception/ticket desk/barrier at any of those museums and present your Museum Pass to be scanned. The Orsay has a separate line for Museum Pass holders but the others are not that busy and there are not any lines (or very short lines at most). There is only one entry for each museum on your Museum Pass.

The only museum I've ever had to get a separate "ticket" when using the Museum Pass was the Picasso Museum and that was 10 years ago so have no idea what their system is now. That's not on your list anyway, so not worth worrying about!

The d'Orsay, Cluny, Army, Rodin, and Pantheon (these are the ones I've been to) you're just let in when you show the pass. No timed anything needed for PMP holders.
