You can always get tickets at the ticket office. If you go up just before 8am or an hour before closing it is not too crowded. Some of the main attractions are linked on tickets. So if you buy a ticket for one, then you can get free entry to certain others.

The top floor is an atrium that showcases the frieze from the Parthenon, with the pieces arranged in sequence. It includes actual pieces plus recreations of the missing pieces, including those in other museums (e.g. Elgin Marbles), Plus, the view is great. Cafe is also on this floor as I recall.
