We redempted our tickets very easy in Verona. The ladies at the desk were very nice and explained in detail how can we use our Verona pass. We had the 24h pass and started right away with the Arena (tickets office is next to Arena), followed with Juliets house (around 10 Am - we had appointment), following with Torrei dei Lamberti and Museo Regionale. The locations are very close to each other.

It's worth getting the Verona Card, but they should warn you that you need to take your purchase receipts to a tourist information office to get the cards, because you can't get in anywhere with just the receipts!
