This ticket offers only the entrance to the monastery, instead of buying directly from the ticket office. Note that you must stand in line for the entrance, there is no special deal for the online ticket buyers. The monastery is stupendous, a real architectural wonder, it’s definitely a must while visiting Lisbon. One special comment, come prepared to wait for at least 1 hour, especially on busy days, weekends. A sun hat or umbrella + some bottles of water. It can become a nightmare if it is a hot day.

The monastery is pretty amazing. But you only really get to go around the cloisters and the church. As beautiful as they are, there are not many other bits that you get to see in such a big building.
