Ticket for the Imperial Forum?

On the ticket site for the Colosseum and forums, the ticket descriptions say a combo ticket called the Super TIcket that includes the Roman Forums, The Palatine Hill and the Imperial Forum.

I thought the Imperial Forums on the other side of Via dei Fori Imperiali you experienced by just walking along the side walk, that you can't enter the sites. What is the combo ticket that includes the Imperial Forum giving you access to?

Two years ago we paid individually to go down below street level into the ground level of the Imperial forums. As I recall there was a pamphlet (and maybe an audio guide too? I don’t remember), with reconstruction drawings and brief explanations of Trajan’s Market and other buildings that made up those forums in their heyday. You walk a boardwalk that sort-of parallels Via deli Fiori Imperiali, not wandering freely among the ruins, then the path cuts underneath the Via with a few small displays in nooks and crannies, before you pop out on the other side of the street, among bits of Julius Caesar’s Forum. A lot of this can be seen from outside of the fenced-in Imperial Forums space, from the sidewalks at street level, but it is a bit different being inside This was late afternoon, and I think that our ticket included access to a museum as well, but we didn’t go to it.
