Near as I can tell from the website the price of admission for 2 adults is 41 euros each, which is higher than I had expected given what I've read - can anyone confirm? (we're visiting Sep. 11)
Official website says 30 euros

I was just looking at the booking site day before yesterday for booking an entry in early October. The Doge's Palace Secret Itineraries Tour is 32E for an adult admission.
There is a price increase as of today of a couple of Euro which is reflected above.
Which website were you looking at?
We're not doing the secret tour; I was looking on: https://palazzoducale.visitmuve.it/
That's the correct website, just wanted to make sure you hadn't gotten yourself on an tour company website which I did a couple of times, lol.
I am not seeing just the entry to the Doges Palace except for a 40E ticket that is combined with other museums. I also see a regular Ducal Palace combined with just the Musei Correr Archeological museum and library for 30E.

I hope I am not confusing you. I, myself, was confused, lol and finally settled on the Secret Itinerary tour, lol.
Another option is we booked with The Tour Guy through the GetYourGuide app, the 6-hour Venice Full-Day Sightseeing Tour with Gondola Ride. It includes skip-the-line St. Mark's Basilica and Doge's Palace, which were not included with our BOI tour, and a gondola ride. It starts at 9:30am and finish by 3:30pm. $223.22 for both.
I like the way it scheduled our day. We can go back to relax at the hotel afterwards, then after dinner we booked Venice: Interpreti: Veneziani Concert at Church of San Vidal, a baroque concert. For the night before we booked Venice: Traveling Opera in a Historic Palace on Grand Canal. After initially being disappointed in our upcoming visit, we are now very excited!
Thank you - very helpful!
