Colosseum Didactic tour Sperone Valadier entrance arrival time?

How long is the wait in the Sperone Valadier entrance to the colosseum?
I managed to get tickets for the Colosseum Didactic tour from the Coopculture site for the 3:15pm tour and wanted to plan arrival time. The tickets do not mention arrival time or if the do I don't understand them because the tickets are in Italian : (
Note. I know the tour is in Spanish but we are all 100% fluent, except for my younger son but we will translate for him.

I just did the Colosseum tour the other day— I had a 5:45 ticket and got to the area about 20 minutes early and walked right up—I recall the Coopculture website said 15 minutes—they scan it and you go through security, then another scan and a colored sticker is given to indicate what access you have. People being guided had 2 colors of stickers. It’s a bit chaotic, but it was also late in the day so the crowd had thinned out.

Thanks for your reply. We’ll be there with extra time then. I don’t want to miss the tour especially after the hassle to get them.
