After reading all the reviews regarding the line, we decided to take the chance and just go to the place and buy the tickets at the tower. It took more time to get a hot dog at the stand next to the line than to buy the tickets to access the tower. It is a nice tourist place, but if you not been there before, you must do it. My son and I went all the way up to the top(3rd floor). The elevator takes you up to the 2nd floor and then you need to change it to continue the journey. The price of the tickets are also different depending if you are going up to the 2 nd or top floors. Be ready for the lines going down to the bottom. We decided to Take the elevator from the 3rd to the 2nd floor and then take the stairways and it saved us a quite of time + it was a nice experience. Definitely have a drink(coffee, wine, beer, …) while on the top to enjoy the view.

Reasonable prices especially for at the top of the tower. Chocolate croissants were just fine. French fries were a bit soggy but still great flavor. The workers were very nice even to those that spoke only English and were even a bit rude about it. Perfectly fine for what it is.
