Signed up for Saturday tour (3 hours) at Colisseum but have no idea where to find the tour - it mentioned
"regular entrance." Anyone have experience with this?

Coopculture doesn't offer a 3-hour tour that i'm aware of. What did you purchase?
Was your tour today?

Weird. I still can't find that one anywhere on the website. If you could link the info/booking page, I'd be grateful as that one is new to me!
Anyway, I'm certain that "regular entrance" refers to the entry ticket you bought in conjunction with your tour and not a physical entrance. For instance, if you look at this tour:
It's advertised as "COLOSSEUM, ROMAN FORUM AND PALATINE REGULAR ENTRANCE + UNDERGROUNDS AND PANORAMIC VIEW ENGLISH TOUR".
The "regular entrance" they're talking about is the € 12,00 ticket needed to access the arena for the guided tour, which is an additional €15,00. Add €2 for the reservation fee = € 29,00. Interesting that this 90-minute tour costs the same as yours, which is why I'm especially curious. :O)
In the text is noted, "Access to the Stern Entrance, in front of Via Labicana." That's the entrance for this tour. If you can find the page for the one you booked, it's likely noted in the text as well.

I am not good at "links" but this is what I did:
1. go to main site
2. click on Buy Online Ticket for Colosseum
3. click on CHOOSE YOUR PERSONAL SOLUTION
4. click on BUY NOW
5. click on Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine, ordinary admission
6. scroll down to 5th one: Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Regular Entrance English tour
Sat Sun 3 h 29euros

Ah, THERE it is! This is a very new offering, and the price breakout on the page ( full entry + tour + reservation fee) isn't adding up to 29.00€ but they've made so many changes to this site lately that I think they're still sorting some details. When an available date is selected, then the 29.00€ price is listed.
It says "Access at the entrance for individuals". OK, on the page linked below, click the box that says "Colosseum entrances map" under the "CHOOSE YOUR PERSONAL SOLUTION" section. On that map, you can see the entrance marked "Individuals",

Unless you've been told otherwise, I would be sure to be there early (20 minutes or so) to get through security, and if you are confused you can always ask an attendant.
(Sorry for the edits; it wouldn't let me give you a link directly to the map)
