Hi, we are arriving Paris on July 14, and wanted to get tickets for Eiffel Tower summit that afternoon. I know they can sell out fast so I have been checking everyday lately, several times a day, but the official ticketing website calendar still only goes through June 30th. Is there any other way to purchase tickets ahead? Also, I know that is Bastille day and the ET may close early but I haven’t been able to find a specific time. Where could I find that information?
Thank you!

Good afternoon Dani,
I can't offer much help other than to tell you that seems to have been the case for awhile. My family will be in Paris May 22-June 1. I had always heard to order 90 days in advance so I attempted to do so. Like you, I tried every day several times a day. Without rhyme or reason, they became available online one morning around 70 days prior the date I wanted. I was able to get tickets without issue but it was a bit nerve-wracking.

Thank you for the replies. I did contact the ET website directly and was told that reservations open up at 8:30 am Paris time, “at the earliest” 90 days ahead”. I guess I have to keep checking several times per day. I just don’t want to miss them. Currently ticket website calendar still only open till June 30.😟

The people who report the most success are those who set their alarm clocks to get up to be on line at 8:30 am Paris time. You are competing with tour groups, robots, and everyone or everything else that wants those summer tickets.

I certainly am willing to get up and be online at 2:30am EST, but the problem is not knowing when those tickets will be released. Tickets for my date should have been available 5 days ago and still are not. I’ll just keep checking. Thanks.

I've been checking the ET website several times a day for the past two weeks hoping to get tickets for July but the site has not posted the July calendar yet. I'll keep trying & hope to get what I need. Rob
