That would still be less profitable than the insane amount they charge just to stand under the thing. I was just there and it was like more than $30 per person just to stand under it (way more for the elevator ride up!)
Isn't it free to stand under it? Going up costs money, yes.

I was there last year, and I only paid for an éclair and a coffee at one of the cafés / restaurants underneath the tower.
Nope, they’ve fenced off the base area and most of the gardens.
When did you last visit? i wonder if they changed it since i last visited in late 2023. I needed to pass through security checks to get into the general premises - gardens and such, and could stand under tower. No payment required.
Edited: this review on google maps (sorry) from two days ago says it's free to pass through: https://goo.gl/maps/ARW1jYzt3mGUEKgE8
Wouldn't be surprised if it was a con job OP got ensnared in. Paris is well known for those type of things.
The fence has been there for some years (some antiterrorist measure), but I also don't recall paying.
