I am an Orthodox Christian, and one of my dreams is to visit Jerusalem and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for an Easter, and see the holy fire.

Finding a flight and hotel is easy, but what do I need to get to the church? I know that I need to get some tickets. How do I get a ticket? Who sells them? Do I need anything else?

Entry to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is free and unlimited at all times. The church's own website says this.. No ticket is required.

This allows you to look round the church and to attend a service. But many people want to do more than that, in which case you can consider taking a guided tour. The church itself recommends a number of guided tours, and the TripAdvisor links that you posted in comments leads to a very similar list. They require paid tickets, and these are probably the tickets you are thinking of.

To summarize:

  • If you want to enter the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, either to attend a service or simply to look round, you can do so any time it is open without paying.
  • If you also want to take a guided tour of the church you will need to buy a ticket and pay for it.
