Colosseum ticketing

I read that the entry is time slot metered. Currently the website says there are no tickets available to purchase, but does that also mean there will be none available to purchase at the booth? Do they have a sign or anything that indicates this at the ticket booth? Just trying to see if I should focus my planning for other attractions if this is no longer viable.

Cheers.

For what period are you hoping to book? Tickets are available 30 days in advance. Currently tickets are sold out through April 4 (except for March 13).

March 16th :(

I was only able to purchase tickets for the Forum. Well, at least we get to see it from the outside.

I believe I've read here that they hold back some tickets for sale on-site. That is a common procedure, though it isn't done everywhere.

I think you can only buy one ticket per person at the booth, so if you are traveling with others, they'll need to go with you.

I think early arrival at the booth has been recommended. Understand that you might then end up with a ticket for much later in the day, so it would be smart to give some thought to a back-up plan to fill the waiting time, if any.

The Colosseum is definitely impressive from the outside. Not being a fan of ancient ruins, I didn't bother to go inside.
