We will be visiting Rome early April 2025. I’m trying to purchase advance tickets, mostly because it’s a Jubilee year, but the official site is only open during their working hours. That means I would need to purchase them here around 2:00 am.
What is the advice from recent visitors to the Pantheon as to advance tickets vs pay cash that day considering the Jubilee year?

If you’re in the continental US you’re either 6, 7, or 8 hours behind Rome. So you could purchase tickets at 9 am and it would still be working hours in Rome.
Make absolutely certain you’re on the official Pantheon site. There are imitators who will sell you a “guided tour” which doesn’t include entry. Last year entry was about €5. Also, not sure about now but a year ago US credit cards didn’t work in the site but PayPal did.

I was there yesterday. We went about 3:00 in the afternoon. We waited in the line on the left and purchased two tickets. Total time in line about 15 minutes. I wouldn't worry about it.
I also asked a couple of cab drivers if they have noticed a difference in the crowds with the Jubilee and they all say they haven't. If that means anything.

Just show up, stand in the cash (euros) line to the left of the entrance, and your wait will only be 15 minutes or less. The credit card line will be very long.
