June 2nd 2025 Colosseum Tickets - Not Available Online?? HELP!

Hi there! I am trying to buy the 24hr Arena Only tickets for June 2nd, which is a Monday, but when I go online it says they are "not available online." I know that tickets open up 30 days in advance, so that should not be an issue. There are tickets anytime from now, and then after- but not on the 1st or the 2nd.

From what I understand it is free (along with many other museums!!) on the first Sunday of the month- does this extend to Monday? I am confused. Every other Monday has tickets.

Please help! I don't want to miss out on seeing the Colosseum.

If I can't get them for Monday, is it worth trying to get in on the free Sunday?

2 June is Republic Day, with major celebrations in Rome, including ceremonies and processions involving the president and the military etc
According to Google, the colosseum will be closed in the morning, with free entry in the afternoon.
Hence, no tickets.
But other things to watch.

We were at the Coliseum a few days before Republic day in 2022. Expect heavy crowds and a lot of law enforcement presence- similar to large, public events here. Example - New Year’s Eve, 4th of July celebrations, etc.
