We can't get tickets to Sainte Chapelle due to my bad planning! Any advice?

Posted by on

UPDATE: We got in!!! As one person suggested, we got up early (for us) and just went to see the situation. It was totally fine not to have an advance reservation. There was a separate line for non-ticket holders and we waited a total of about 15 minutes. So happy it was that easy!!!!

Stupidly, I didn't book tickets in advance to Sainte Chapelle and we are in Paris now (April 2), leaving April 5, with tickets sold out until the 6th. My bad!!!!! Does anyone have any secret (but legal, of course!) way to get tickets? I did look for concerts that might be held at Sainte Chapelle, but the soonest one I can find is on Sat, April 6. Do they have ANY day of tickets, or any other route get tickets? Many thanks in advance.

They have two lines, one for people with reservations and one not. I recommend getting there just as they open or better yet, a bit earlier. While you are there see if you can get in by asking if someone has tickets they are not using.
OR, buy 2 tickets for Saturday and go tomorrow and see if they can work it out for you as if you bought tickets for the wrong day.

Normally I wouldn't suggest this, but you could search for organized tours - they may offer entry as part of the tour. But you'll be paying for the full tour, not just the St Chapelle ticket.

I just checked Viator which I have used before. "Paris Sainte Chapelle and Conciergerie Combined Ticket
$43.74" This is for two people on Friday, April 5th. I don't know what time you're leaving Friday or for what time entrance would be. Good luck!

Thanks everybody for your replies! We got in. We went early(ish) and there was indeed a (shockingly short) line for non-ticket holders. We only had to wait about 15 minutes. Thanks for your suggestions!
