Hi,
Waiting for the Coliseum July tickets to become available at Coopculture.com I read somewhere that the tickets are usually being released on 3rd Monday of the month, which was the 20th of May. But they are still not available. Does anybody know what's going on?

Tuesday, May 21st at 3 pm (italian time):

Wednesday, May 22nd at 3 pm (italian time):

This is for "ordinary" tickets; not for tours of the Underground or Belvedere.

Great! Thanks a lot! The site has so much info, it didn't even accrue to me that the info might be actually right there :-).
I have to wait till the 23rd then as I want to book the Underground and Panorama tour.

I too am trying to buy a time slot to the Coliseum+arena tour. I am also interested in the SUPER ticket (which does not include the coliseum). However, online in the intro to the ticket on coopculture site it claims you can add the SUPER ticket combo to your coliseum ticket for eu6.
Do you add the ticket on the website or at the ticket agent at the Coliseum? This is so confusing! we are going in August ( crazy time I know, that was my only opening...)

It's my understanding that you have to take your Colosseum ticket over to the Forum/Palatine to acquire the € 6.00 S.U.P.E.R. ticket. For sure, it can't be purchased online. I guess you could ask at the Colosseum but maybe someone else knows if that will work.
"Visitors who already have the ordinary ticket Colosseum-Roman Forum-Palatin Hill can buy on site a SUPER ticket that will allow access to the aforementioned 7 places."

To clarify, you do not want to book this tour:

This one is only for people who have hired their own authorized guides from another source.
Your best bets at this point might be "ordinary entrance" tickets (no guided tour) or the 45-minute tour (no underground or Belvedere levels) in English.
That said, for last crack at coopculture Underground/Belvedere tours for August....
https://www.coopculture.it/en/the-colosseum.cfm
Every first Thursday of the month: July 4th at 3 pm (italian time): The pre-sale for the underground, the belvedere and the combined underground belvedere tour, in the monthly availability for August will be released online only.

Thanks for clarifying that you may be able to upgrade to SUPER while there. I just bought the "ordinary entrance" option at a specific time too.
