Venice - St. Mark's - Treasury, Golden Altarpiece, Museum

Please help.

I have Rick Steve's 2019 Italy Guide (page 65).
I successfully booked a 3 Euro reservation for St. Mark's Basilica.

I do NOT want to go to the top of the Bell Tower (too expensive).

Please tell me how I can book tickets for the:
Treasury - 3 Euros
Golden Altarpiece - 2 Euros
St. Mark's Museum - 5 Euros

Do you have a link where I can buy these?

When I go to the official St. Mark's Basilica website, they only offer two options:
- the Basilica
- the Bell Tower

Thank you for any help. I am getting very close to my departure date and running out of time.

You will just pay for those entrances when there, there is no pre-booking option

Don’t know offhand what the tower fee (maybe 8€?) is but it is such a fantastic view from up there, I’d try to budget for it
If not the tower at S Giorgio Maggiore is a few euros cheaper- 6€

Christine:

Thank you for your help.

Do I have to stand on different ticket lines, one line for each venue/item. I am trying to avoid that.

I know that every place requires security, but I am trying to avoid ticket lines.

When I hand the church/basilica my voucher/bar code for my 10-minute slot in the basilica, will they ask me what I want in addition.

Thanks again.

The Bell Tower is 13 Euros...that's a lot! But I will consider what you said about the view.

Oh- 13 € is for a Skip the Line entry. Yikes! I would not pay that either.
Regular entry is 8€

We did it around 6 pm I guess. We didn't wait long- this was end of August 2014 so who knows

You will pay at the entrance to each interior site inside the Basilica- museum, treasury, etc, not when you enter the Basilica.
As fas as lines there? Guess it depends on how many want to enter those sights that day. I'd guess a lot of tourists do not.
