Empire State Building Ticket – 86th floor (+102nd in option) - General Admission or Express pass

When you book, you will be asked to choose from the following options:

Standard ticket
The standard ticket grants access to the 86th floor of the Empire State Building via the regular entry lines for the elevators and security checks.

Express ticket
The express pass grants priority access to the building via the express security checks and skip-the-line access to the elevators on the 2nd, 80th and 86th floors. The fast-track ticket is highly recommended for visits between Thanksgiving (late November) and New Year, as well as for any visits between 11am and 2pm or at sunset. A limited number of fast-track tickets are available each day in order to guarantee a VIP experience.
