Eiffel Tower Prices

When looking at the Eiffel tower webpage, I am having a bit of difficulty understanding the pricing. If I want to take the stairs to the 2nd floor, then the elevator to the top how much will it cost? Looking at the pricing chart it looks to me like I would pay 4 euros to take the stairs to the 2nd floor, then 12 euros for the elevator. Am I reading the chart right? It seems more expensive then I remember it being.

Here is the link for anyone who could offer some price decoding help.

While you'll save no money, consider taking the lift up and the stairs down (from second level) for good exercise and views.

It costs €4 to go to the first level, €7.50 to the second and €11 to go all the way. On a budget?

You can climb the stairs to the second level for only €3.50 (daily March–Sept 9:00–24:00, Oct–Feb 9:30–23:00, last entry 1 hr before closing, shorter lines at night, can catch Bateaux-Parisiens boat for Seine cruise at base of tower, Mo: Trocadéro, RER: Champ de Mars-Tour Eiffel, tel. 01 44 11 23 23, www.tour-eiffel.fr
