Casa Batlló: Which ticket to buy and which one you don't need

There are 26 products in the catalog for entering Casa Batlló, and almost all of them are the same thing: a ticket with a specific time, without a guide, with the audio guide included. It seems like a limited variety. It's more that the market is dictating what it wants, because of the 23,395 reviews that those 26 products have, the majority are for the basic ticket, and guided tours are sold sparingly. So, the real decision isn't whether to have a guide or not, but which of the four ticket levels: Blue, Silver, Gold, or Platinum. That's where the official information is more scarce than one would like. This page compares the four, explains what changes between them and what doesn't, and explains why this is the only work by Gaudí where buying outside the official website is documented in writing.

Please read the following before proceeding. The 545 € at the higher end of the catalog are not entry tickets: they are private tours of several hours with a private guide, and they are what pull the average price up to 119 €. If you only look at the products that provide access to the house and nothing else, the actual price range is much lower. It's worth mentioning because many websites mix the two things, and then the reader is left with the idea that entering the Casa Batlló costs around a hundred euros. It does not.
