It was not clear how to access the special benefits such as areas and tours. There were places I thought I could get to but had no access to such as the Doge's appartments and the prisons. All that needs to be clear when the schedule/prices/rates are on the site.

Excellent experience with headout, although there were a lot of people in a few minutes we were able, with the skip-the-line formula, to enter the Doge's Palace.
