Did we buy legitimate Anne Frank tickets, 7 weeks in advance?

My travel partner just bought Anne Frank House tickets for the evening of April 19. This is more than six weeks out. The site is Annefrank.org.
I know there are fraudulent websites; the Anne Frank website warns the public of such. I looked at Annefrank.org website, and I did see evening tickets available, 6+ weeks out.
So this seems to be a mystery. Did she somehow make a mistake?
Please be gentle. Thanks.

Tickets for April 19 are at this very minute on sale and there's still a few time slots at the end of the evening on the 19th left for the museum but not the one that includes the introduction part. It's not exactly 6 weeks, as it's a little more nuanced. It's been almost 2 years ago that we bought them, but I remember released on Tuesday, and this lines up with what I remember.

Did you visit on your last trip? Be prepared for such an incredibly powerful, moving experience. Glad you were able to get tickets.

They should be legitimate.

Their website shows they are selling tickets through the 19th. Next Tuesday they will release tickets for the week of April 20th. They release a full week each Tuesday, so technically you could buy your ticket 6 weeks and 5 days in advance.

I did not get to visit on my last trip, so I'm relieved you all agree they are legitimate. Thank you for double checking. I've read where many folks have had so many problems getting and paying for these tickets. The visit time is a bit late, but then again, no one had to wake up in the middle of the night to buy tickets.

I was also able to get English tour tickets to the Corrie ten Boom House; I booked the flights months ago, then immediately booked these tickets.

And we went to the Dutch Resistence Museum two years ago, so these somber experiences will build on that understanding.

Thanks again for answering so quickly . Happy travels.

Tickets for the Anne Frank house are released once a week on Tuesday for the week that starts 6 weeks later (actually 5 weeks and 6 days later).
Yesterday, March 3 2026, was the Tuesday of week #10. This means that yesterday the tickets were released for the entire week 6 weeks later; week #16. Week #16 starts on Monday April 13 and ends on Sunday April 19.
It’s always good to be cautious, but the fact that your travel partner was able to buy tickets for April 19 is completely normal and according to the schedule the tickets are released on.
