Going up the Eiffel Tower
Apologies if there's a similar thread, but search returns very old threads.
I'll be in Paris by end of April, and plan to visit the tower and go to the summit. But tickets are already sold out in the official eiffel tower website.
If I buy from 3rd party sites like viator, is it really skip-the-line?
If I buy tickets with dining at 58 Tour Eiffel, which gives me skip-the-line access to the 1st floor, how can I access the 2nd floor and the summit? Should I buy a separate ticket for the summit?

If you can get a reservation at 58 Tour Eiffel, you are given special access to the ticket line. Just purchase summit tickets when you check in for diner. It is no longer possible to purchase summit tickets from either the 1st or 2nd floor.
Third parties can get you past the ticket line but you'll pay a rather steep premium.
