Leaning Tower - prepurchase?

We will be stopping in Pisa on our way from CT to Rome on Tuesday April 27th - since it's the middle of the week and it's before super busy season, do you think we can just arrive buy our tickets, have lunch & then climb the tower?

My reasoning, I don't want to lock in a time to have to leave CT - as long as we're in Rome by bedtime that's all I'm concerned with, so I want to leave the departure of CT up to what we feel like doing. However, if you all think the lines might still be hours long, then I'll put a little more time into narrowing it down.

thanks

Two years ago we bought our tickets when we arrived at the ticket booth. When you purchase the tickets, it is for a specific time. We had to wait 3 hrs. for our specific time slot. During that time, we had lunch, toured the cathedral and baptistry. This was during July. Hopefully, April will be less crowded.

Denise - that's kinda what I'm hoping. I don't mind buying the tickets and then having lunch...but I'd like to be in/out within a few hours (closer to 2 than 3). Hopefully someone else will chime in with a thought or two.
