Our ticket was for 10:30pm, make sure you get there plenty of time beforehand due to security. It wasnt overly busy when we went but still took us around 20 minutes to get to the lift. Incredible views at night. Very windy right at the top so dont wear a hat like I did! Lots of pickpockets operate around here so be wary. Souvenir shops and cafes on the second floor. Prices for food and drink were actually very reasonable - even better than some restaurants I visited around the city. I haven't visited the Eiffel Tower during the day but I can say I really enjoyed it at night - the lights across the city are amazing to see.
