Hi Eugene. Here's a link to the official site.

Tickets are 6,50 euros, plus a 4 euro reservation fee. If there's a special exhibit, ticket prices increase to 10 euros plus the reservation fee. There's currently a special exhibit (Giovanni da Milano) through 2 November.
Lines can still be very long, even in late afternoon, depending on what time of year you go. I went very early June but the lines were still incredibly long at 3pm. You risk not being able to get in. Personally, I found the 4 euro reservation fee to be completely worth it since it allowed me to save time by not waiting in line. In the end it comes down to whether time or money is more important to you.

Walk from the Train Station to the Cathedral. Continue down Via Roma, passing the Palazzo Vecchio towards the Ponte Vecchio. Cross the Arno, enter the Boboli Gardens. Eat lunch at the trattorie next to Santo Spirito (try the carbonara.) Return via S. Croce. Writing a letter home at dusk while seated on a stone wall in the Boboli Gardens. Storm and gardener with hedge-clippers approaching.
Florence is a charming city of narrow streets and stone pavements -- all make sound echo. If staying in the city, bring earplugs to help you sleep through all the noise of motorscooters, cars, people walking, and talking, and oh yes, all those church bells!
Anything you can think of from touristy trinkets to genuine leather jackets and gold jewelry. Walk through and just look or haggle for a good price.
Don't point at ANYTHING unless you really want it. The guys working the stands will notice and you'll spend more time trying to get away than enjoy the sights. Ignore their shouts (sometimes offensive) and pretend you don't understand them in order to get by.
Walk through once or twice if you have time before you make a purchase. That way you can see if the stand 2 blocks up has what you want for less. A lot of them will repeat items, so keep your eyes open for a better deal.
The whole thing packs up in the early evening, so hit it by lunchtime in order to get a good look at all the "goods". Florence is well-known for its leather and gold, so check it out, you might find that perfect souvenir. 1 euro- 100 euro...what do want and how good are you at haggling?
If you happen to be driving to Florence, park near
the church Santo Spiroto. There is parking along the street that is neither posted or metered. You will be a short walk to the Pitti Palace and then an easy stroll to the Uffizi and beyound. I parked there for 6 hours with no problems.
I've never had bad Italian food. Grabbing a slice of pizza or foccacia from the local shops and eating picnic-style makes for a great (and cheap) lunch. Follow that with some gelato and your stomach will be in heaven. :)
