cathedral in granada - can you buy advanced tickets just for the visit without a tour?

Hey everyone -
I am trying to buy tickets in advance, but when I go to the site for the cathedral, the link to buy tickets ahead keeps taking me to a site to buy a full tour ticket, combined with the alhambra, etc. Do any of you know of a site or link that will allow one to purchase just entrance tickets ahead of time to the cathedral?
Thanks so much for any help with this!

It's possible there is no provision for buying ordinary entrance tickets online. Although there are exceptions, a lot of major churches are not so crowded that there are significant ticket lines, and one can simply walk up to the ticket window to purchase a ticket.

I do see links to websites selling tickets for tours, but you can simply pay the ticket fee at the cathedral and use the included audio guide. I haven't been to Granada recently, so I do not have first-person experience with ticketing procedures.

I suspect you are on some tour company's website.

It was four or five years ago, but I don't remember a fee for the cathedral. But even if there is, just buy it at the door. It was very uncrowded when we were there.

This is the official website for the cathedral: Catedral de Granada. Prices are listed (5 euro individual, 3,50 students, kids under 12 and disabled free, admission includes audioguide).

There is no link to purchase individual tickets, just group reservations.

We went last April, mid-week, late morning. No line, no crowd. It is a beautiful cathedral -- very different feel from others in Spain (although, like so many, still built on top of a razed mosque).

Enjoy your visit!

Edited to add: looks like if you are there on a Sunday afternoon, there is free entry that must be reserved ahead of time. There is a link at the bottom of the "horarios (hours)" section on the Cathedral web page. I don't know anything about this visit, whether it's the same as a general admission on other days, or limited admission because of Sunday, but thought I'd post the info and link in case you are interested: https://entradasgratuitas.diocesisgranada.es/view/event/catedral-en-catedral/
