Colosseum tickets online--A4 paper?

I fully admit that this might be a dumb question-- but when I was going to purchase my Colosseum tickets online, it specifies printing them on A4 paper. Has anyone done this? Do I need to go track down A4 paper, or will regular letter size do the trick?

If you don't want to bother, you can buy your tickets just a few yards away from the Colosseum at the entrance of Palatine Hill and then walk past allllllll the people in line at the Colosseum with those tickets. Walk to the left of the long line. It is a pretty good ways to the turnstiles so don't worry that you are in the wrong place. There was 1 person ahead of us in line at Palatine Hill ticket counter. Your tickets are good for both areas so you can do them in any order you want.

I learned this trick in Rick's book and it worked just like he said.

thanks for asking that question Sharla as I would not have known either. I think I'll take the advise of Connie and buy my ticket there at Palatine Hill and avoid the line. Thanks for the info. Connie!!

A Roma Pass will also get you in, and let you bypass the line.

Otherwise regular letter paper will probably do A$ is just slightly larger. (Try changing margins if it's feisty!)
