Siena - Gates of Heaven tix - can I enter the Duomo and museum earlier than ticket time?

Hello - I have tickets to the Gates of Heaven dome climb at 12:30 on June 7th. Can I enter the Duomo and Museum in the morning with my ticket and then go back later on at 12:30 for the dome climb?

If not, if I go to the dome climb at 12:30pm and then want to see the Duomo and Museum afterwards, do I have to enter another line to get into the duomo and museum?

I am sorry I don’t know the answer to your questions but we are planning on spending time at the places you mention.
We are not getting tickets in advance so I hope getting them when we are there will work.

When I went I didn’t need timed tickets for the duomo or the museum. The duomo had a line but I went super quick. There was no line at the museum. Make sure to go to the Piccolomini Library in the duomo and also go to viewing deck of the unfinished facade for great views. The viewing deck has a line because they only allow so many people at a time but it’s worth it. The duomo museum is not that good, go to Santa Maria della Scala across the duomo, much better.
