I want to make reservations for the Accademia and Uffizi. After clicking on B ticket I am given 3 choices....intero/full at 16.50 Euro,
ridotto/reduced at 10.25 Euro and gratuito/free at 4.00 Euro. I thought tickets were 8 Euro with and additional 4 Euro reservation fee.
I want to order 2 tickets and would pay just a reservation fee for a child. Wonder if anyone has done this recently?

Barb, you may be looking at a date when there will be a special exhibit at whichever of the two museums is showing a 16.50 ticket fee. Tickets are always more for those sorts of events, and you pay the extra whether you want to see the exhibit or not.
For instance, this on the b-ticket page for the Accademia:
"In conjunction with the exhibit “Giovanni dal Ponte (1385-1437). Protagonista dell'Umanesimo tardogotico" to be held at the Accademia Gallery from November 22, 2016 to March 12, 2017 full ticket price € 12,50 reduced € 6,25"
If you're trying to buy tickets for this museum for a date before March 12 - when the special exhibit is showing - you'll be paying € 12,50 for the ticket + €4.00 reservation fee = €16.50. Make sense?

If it's any consolation the special exhibits are worth the extra money.

Agreed, Tom. And even without those, the museum is well worth the higher price!
