Paris-Saint Chappelle concert

Hello wonderful travelers,
We are planning on a Sunday evening concert at Saint Chappelle in Paris. For anyone who has done this would it be advantageous or overkill for me to buy entry tickets to tour the church for before the concert? Or will I see enough while I am there for the concert?
And if anyone has a "you won't find it in the travel guide" tip for something interesting I should see while in Paris feel free to drop a tip or suggestion in here. Visiting Paris 10/3 to 10/9. Three women in their 60's, two of us have been 3-4 times, one is a first timer. Staying in 9th arondissement near Galleries Lafayette in Opera district.

Thank you!

I agree with miuccia. If you want to see Sainte-Chapelle, book a daytime entry in addition to the concert. I would go in the morning if you possibly can because of the light. Also, when you enter for the concert they have you go in a different way and you enter on the level of the stained glass. When you visit to tour, you go in the lower chapel first, then take the winding stairs up to the Upper Chapel. A long ago Rick Steves guide suggested we keep our eyes on the floor as we entered the Upper Chapel until we could walk out into the center and then look up for the powerful sight of the gorgeous glass!
