Use official websites only. Buy in advance.

The best way is always to buy the tickets directly from the venue itself and not from a 3rd party. Tickets for the Anne Frank house can only be bought via the website of the Anne Frank organization. Any other website that sells tickets is either a scam or is deliberately breaking the terms & conditions of the Anne Frank house. Tickets for the Anne Frank house go on sale 6 weeks in advance on Tuesday 10 am local time and sell out fast.

I just bought my tickets recently directly from the Anne Frank House website. Very easy. They post the tickets 6 weeks ahead for an entire week from Saturday to Sunday on Tuesday at 10am Amsterdam local time. All of those tickets seem to sell out by the end of ticket Tuesday. My time in Amsterdam will be over 2 weeks of their ticket drops and we would be able to tour Friday to Tuesday. I wasn't thinking it through and neglected that the tickets I might want went over 2 week ticket drops. It all worked out fine since I just got the tickets for a later time in our trip.
