Question about start location of Colosseum tour

We were lucky enough to get underground Colosseum tour tickets through Coopculture. I am trying to understand the following directions that were sent with the tickets. (Sorry for the intense font/all caps-its how it cut and pasted.)

TO JOIN THE COLOSSEUM TOUR, PLEASE ARRIVE AT THE MEETING POINT N.1 FOR ENGLISH TOURS, MEETING POINT N.2 FOR
SPANISH AND FRENCH TOURS. THE MEETING POINTS ARE AFTER THE TURNSTILE, AT THE END OF THE CORRIDOR, NEXT TO
THE LIFT. TO JOIN THE UNDERGROUND AND/OR BELVEDERE TOUR, PLEASE ENTER TO THE STERN ENTRANCE, IN FRONT OF
VIA LABICANA. THE TOUR STARTS 15' AFTER ENTRANCE TIME ON THE TICKET.

Do I ignore the first part (even though our tour is in English) and simply go to the Stern entrance? Also what is the Stern entrance? We have all of our tickets in hand, so how early should we arrive for our tour? Thank you so much for your help!

Kbach:
If you go back into the Coopculture.it website, you will see a link toward the bottom of the opening page, entitled: " Colosseum Entrances Map." That map shows where the Stern Gate is.

Hope this helps.
