There is no need to buy an advance ticket. You can buy it at the church. HOWEVER, they DO NOT accept cash. You have to use a credit card. Entrance is included with the Museumkaart, which costs 59.90 euros and includes entrance to hundreds of museums in Amsterdam and the rest of the Netherlands and is valid for 30 days. If you plan to visit lots of museums, it is a terrific bargain.

Hi Personally I would buy an IAMsterdam card. We stayed in Amsterdam for 4 days and it gave us entry into most museums and also a 90 minute canal cruise, free travel on the buses and trams and a good city map. You can buy them at the airport. 48 hours is 65 Euros, 72 hours is 75 Euros, and 96 hours is 85 Euros. It doesn't give entry to the Ann Frank house but all of the others museums including the Oude Kerk. Check online to see exactly what it covers.
