Effective September 29, 2026: No groups allowed at the ticket office
As part of efforts to improve visitor flow management and to ensure the safety and quality of the visitor experience, SETE announces that, effective September 29, 2026, on-site ticket sales—for both the elevators and the stairs—will no longer be available for groups.
Starting on that date, any group of more than nine people, including the guide, must purchase tickets online, regardless of the chosen admission option. At the ticket counter, artificially splitting groups is strictly prohibited. A guide may accompany only one group of up to eight visitors at a time, per 30-minute time slot. Please note that professional guidance limited to assistance at the ticket counter is prohibited.
Tourism professionals wishing to book group tours must use exclusively the dedicated platform
ticketpro.toureiffel.paris and submit a contract request. Since processing these requests takes approximately two months, the companies concerned are encouraged to begin the process starting May 4, 2026.
