Booking in Advance - Segrada Familia and Train Station Lockers

We have booked our tickets for The Alhambra, but have not booked for Segrada Familia. We are going to visit Barcelona on 3/21, 22, 23 and 24 and would like to book when we arrive to determine weather, etc. Should we anticipate issues getting tickets one to two days prior to visit?

Also, in Barcelona and Madrid, due to apartment check in time and our arrival, we will need to store luggage at both locations. We are looking at the lockers at train stations. In March, should we anticipate the need to reserve lockers online before arrival or can we just arrive and get a locker?

How are you going to get the Sagrada Familia tickets? Can you send the tickets to your smart phone? You can find a Caixa location where you can buy and print tickets. Otherwise you'll have to wait in line to buy tickets. The line looked long when I was there early in the morning but I don't know how fast it moved.

Never heard of reserving luggage lockers in train stations anywhere in Europe but I suppose it could be possible - I've always been able to get lockers in Spain, in the relatively few stations that have them or a left-luggage place, many being closed after terrorist bombings years ago and the ones in main stations have airport-type security machines, etc. www.renfe.com - the Spanish railways site may have info on lockers being reservable but I really doubt that.

There is no system of reservation for lockers in train stations in Spain or for any other country I am aware of. Do they have such in the U.S.?
All I can offer for your Alhambra visit is - there are no lockers at the train station in Granada, but there is this shop metres away opposite - http://granadamap.com/ilocker/ Or you leave your luggage at the Alhambra entrance which has a facility (free I think with your ticket).
For Barcelona there is certainly left luggage facility at Sants. The website of the ADIF company which looks after the stations - http://www.adif.es/es_ES/index.shtml Navigate to whatever station and see if there is a 'consigna'.

These can be pre-booked. I was thinking of using them when I went last year, but in the end didn't need them.
