You can buy tickets at the door. I was there at 8am to stand in line for a 9am opening. I was 14th in line and got admitted right away. I did this because the day before, on the afternoon, the line was a good 1/4 mile long.

Is the skip the line ticket offers different from buying the ticket yourself on line?

Q:
My wife and I are confused. Will ONLY be in Madrid Friday April 28 through Sunday April 30, 2023. Website shows no tickets available plus none available via a tour service. However, a person we spoke with who lives in Madrid, and close to the Palace, said in reality we could show up in the morning about when it opens. May be a line but can physically buy a ticket there. Is that true?
A:
There is a physical ticket office onsite. I'm not sure if they hold separate day of tickets though.
