## Direct answers
- Can I buy tickets at the tower? Sometimes, but lines are long and summit tickets may be sold out—book ahead.
- How long is security? Often 30–60 minutes at busy times; arrive early for your slot.
- Are stairs open to the top? Stairs typically serve lower levels only; summit is lift.
- Is the tower open in bad weather? Summit or outdoor areas can close for wind; check same-day notices.
