2:58 - that gate straight ahead, when I went to Rome in October 2007, I looked through the gate there and someone had left a pike of boxes, rubble and a broken minifridge piled up in the end of the corridor. My first thought was, why did someone carry a fridge all the way up there?!
It was the most claustrophobic experience of my life and I’ve never experienced claustrophobia before. Worse, when I looked back and saw the line meaning I couldn’t just give up. I have fear of heights so the rope thingy with my legs already trembling made it worse. But overall, got to the top, calmed down and enjoyed the view. Btw, I processed everything in silence and didn’t make a big deal out of it because I didn’t want to ruin it for the others.
If I am already inisde the basilica (accessed via passageway from the Museums via tour), can I get to the dome tickey booth and elevator without having to exit and renter the basilica?
Nice video of stairs.

8 euro
It is currently €10 if you want to take the elevator half-way, or €8 to take the steps all the way!
I had a panic attack near the top due to claustrophobia! The view was worth it though.

Yes, you will pass by the ticket booth as you go from the passageway after exiting the Sistine Chapel going towards the Basilica.
