Getting from the Vatican museum to the Necropolis tour

We have tickets for the Vatican museum/Sistine Chaple at 09:00,we also have tickets to tour the Necroplois at 11:30. (ya, we're doing it backwards). Can the museum or Sistine Chaple be exited into St. Peters square for a more direct route to where we need to check in for the Necropolis tour or will we need to make the trek outside the wall? Thanks!

Unless you're on a tour of the Vatican museums you won't be able to use the tour door. You'll exit through the regular exit and walk around to the square. It's won't take more than 15 minutes or so. If you leave by 11am you should be fine.

They have been checking tickets recently and are turning people away. It really is only for those who have paid for a tour and not for ticket holders.

We were there end of May this year and used the exit for tours. There were no guards there to turn anyone away. I don't know if this has changed in the past 2 months.
