You do not need to book the free entry to the nave in advance. However, booking Monumental Area tickets or guided tours ahead of time is recommended during peak months.
Yes, entry to the main cathedral nave is completely free. You only pay if you wish to enter the Monumental Area.
The Monumental Area ticket is sold at the cathedral ticket desks and on the official ticket shop (ticket-shop-cattedraledipalermo.it). A cheaper rooftop-only ticket is also sold.

Rather than getting bogged down in endless web material and pathetic gripings that some people seem to think they have to share with the world, this tour app provides a great overview of the city and its primary story.
Accidentally booked for Palermo, Argentina. Tourific was fantastic and allowed me to get a refund after I notified them of my mistake. They were very helpful
Fantastic tour! I learned so much great history about it Palermo.
