Levels 124 and 125 with a fast-track elevator lane, for $18 more than the standard ticket. From $69 per person.
- DurationValid 1 hour from your selected entry time
Yes, there is a skip-the-line ticket for the Burj Khalifa: fast-track entry to levels 124 and 125 starts at $69 (AED 254) per person, $18 more than the standard ticket. The listing says the skip works through a fast-track elevator, so you wait in a shorter lane for the lifts while seeing the same two levels, 452 m up. Wi-Fi and the viewing telescopes are included; food, drinks, souvenirs and a guide are not. The ticket is valid for 1 hour from your selected entry time, and the listing marks it wheelchair accessible. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before. It holds 4.4 on 1,979 reviews on GetYourGuide, and 7 of the 10 latest reviews say the extra money was worth it.

Meeting point
At the Top entrance, lower ground floor of The Dubai Mall — A reviewer notes that the ticket collection point is also where the Burj Khalifa entrance is, so there is no second location to travel to.
Nearest transit: Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station on the Dubai Metro Red Line, then the covered link bridge into the mall
What fast-track skips and what it cannot
Fast track skips the general line for the lifts: the listing says the priority works through a fast-track elevator. It does not take you higher. You see the same levels 124 and 125, 452 m up, as on the standard ticket. The listing names the elevator only; unlike the SKY ticket, it does not mention skipping the security check. It cannot remove every wait either. One of the 10 latest reviews still queued, only for less time, and saw the fast-track lane itself fill up by late morning. On the plus side, 2 of 10 reviewers say their priority also applied on the way down, when the lift line can be long. The walk through The Dubai Mall to the entrance is the same for everyone.
How long the normal wait is
No primary source publishes a standard wait time, so the best evidence is what visitors report. On the standard 124/125 ticket, 2 of the 10 latest reviews describe long lines, one of about an hour to get up. On the Sky Views combo, which uses standard entry to the same levels, one reviewer waited 2 hours to go in and another 30 minutes to come down. Fast-track buyers describe the other side. One passed the queue at the entrance and again before the lifts, and finished the whole visit in about an hour. Another says the normal line on a Friday can be very long. Sunset is the busy hour: 1 fast-track reviewer found it fairly busy even with priority.
Fast-track vs SKY priority lift
Both tickets jump queues, but different ones, and they go to different heights. Fast track gives you a priority elevator to levels 124 and 125 for $69. The SKY ticket, from $109, lists skip-the-line access for both the security check and the elevator. It then adds level 148 at 555 m, an introductory tour with a guest ambassador, a lounge with snacks and hot drinks, and a cap of 50 people on the deck at any one time. The gap is $40. If you only want to beat the line, fast track is enough. If you also want a quieter deck, level 148 is the better spend. SKY also offers reserve now, pay later; fast track does not.
Price premium
Fast track costs $18 (AED 65) more than the standard ticket: $69 against $51, read on 27 October 2026 at 1 USD = 3.6725 AED. Both are 'from' prices. Slots around sunset cost more, and the booking calendar shows the price of yours before you pay. The premium buys priority in the lift lane and nothing else: food, drinks, souvenirs and a guide are excluded. GetYourGuide's value-for-money sub-score is 3.98 out of 5 for this listing, against 3.79 for the standard ticket, so buyers rate the extra $18 as slightly better value. 7 of the 10 latest reviews say the fast track was worth paying for, most of them after seeing the standard queue. See every price on our Burj Khalifa ticket price page.
Book fast-track
Pick a date, then the slot you want to enter in; the ticket is valid for 1 hour from that time. If you are going for the sunset, check the time for your month first: about 17:52 on 15 October and 19:10 on 15 June, computed for Dubai. You pay at booking, since reserve now, pay later is not offered on this listing. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before your slot. On the day, head for the At the Top entrance on the lower ground floor of The Dubai Mall; one reviewer was unsure at first that the ticket collection point is also the tower entrance. To compare every ticket before you choose, start from our Burj Khalifa tickets page.
