You buy the ticket on the day, not in advance. We went and it was not busy at all! Tickets for adults is €4 (per person) children and students is €2, (per person) you can also choose to get a headset at €2 per person. I only speak Irish English and very limited German, I didn’t get a head set but I was able to make out most things! It’s very haunting and emotional - well it was for me haha! Happy Travels :)
