friend cannot go - can someone else use the ticket?

One of our four cannot make the trip now. Can we hand that visit ticket to another friend, or is it tied to the original person? One ticket is a reduced rate, so I assume that one may be different.

december dates missing - sold out or not released?

Trying to book for December and the official calendar just stops before my date. A reseller is already showing something “available”. Is the Opera calendar broken, or do visit slots only appear closer to the date?

10-minute VR thing - included with normal ticket?

The Apple Vision Pro experience looks interesting but I cannot tell whether it is part of the normal daytime ticket. Is the €12 thing an add-on? Can I reserve it before I go? Also taking a 9-year-old, will there be age issue?

wheelchair + companion: both free? priority entry too?

Manual wheelchair, one companion. I can see references to free admission and priority entry but they are spread over different pages. Am I reading this correctly: self-guided visit free for both of us, supporting document required, and priority entry applies? I would rather know the exact rule than rely on “accessible” as a general label.

guided or self-guided if I mainly want the auditorium?

Hello. My main reason for visiting is the auditorium and Chagall ceiling. I am happy to pay for the guided tour if that improves the chance of seeing it, but I do not want to pay extra based on a false assumption. Does either type of visit actually guarantee auditorium access?

Revelacio tablet - reserve now or just rent there?

Already have a self-guided ticket. Looking at the Revelacio multimedia tablet mainly for the augmented/visual material, not because I need an audio guide. Can it be added in advance, or is this something you only pick up on site subject to stock?

kids free = no ticket needed?

Booking for two adults and our 9-year-old. I know under-12s are free, but does “free” mean I leave him off the online booking and just bring him with us? I really do not want to discover at the entrance that he needed some zero-euro ticket.
