Hi Susan
I was in just your position last October too - Taking my parents for a visit I ended up deciding the websites all looked too questionable to trust and plumped for chancing it with the queues - I wasn't as lucky as Ilaria and found the queues as busy as ever even that late in the season. My tip would be either go VERY early and wait for it to open or buy tickets for entry on another day of your visit if the queues do defeat you. Mischa I noticed that some ticket holding people were mistakenly standing in the (much longer) queue to buy - there are two queues so if in doubt do check with the usually helpful assistants.
Enjoy your visit.
