I wasn't sent enough of the right information to collect my ticket. The woman at the counter thought I was on a guided tour and to check with some of the guides outside the building. Then I checked in with the booking company and they sent me a confirmation number which then allowed the ticket issuer to give me the tickets. Having been to the Uffizzi and a tour of the Duomo, then this was average by comparison. The main attraction is The David by Michelangelo and that's it really. The problem with the historical art collections from the likes of Italy and elsewhere around the world is that the most sought after pieces are in other countries galleries or held privately, so you begin to feel as though you're paying a lot of money to see what's left.
When we arrived to visit the Accademia, the lines were around the corner! We simply had to exchange our voucher for the tickets and went right in! What a time-saver.
