Trouble getting Colosseum tickets?

Today I’m trying to get a combo ticket for the Colosseum, Forum, Palatine Hill including entry into the Colosseum. I’m going to the coopculture.it website, but cannot find this ticket anywhere. Following Rick’s advice in his 2022 Italy book, he says to click on English, then Ticketing. Did that then selected the date I wanted. Under Destinations I chose Rome, but did not see the Colosseum listed. Has this changed since 2022 or am I missing something? Thanks!

I continued googling Rick’s info and found a Rome in a day itinerary that had a link for colosseum tickets at ticketing.colosseo.it. Although different from what is in the RS Italy guidebook, this was a link from an RS Europe website post (there is no date listed), so expect it is legit. That site only had tickets available 30 days out, so I need to wait a few more days before I can get tickets. If you have any other tips, please post. Thanks!

Which days do you need tickets for? I have two free tickets I'm not using because I over purchased. They include the underground tour. They are for June 20th.

I was at the Colosseum last week. We had advanced tickets; entry was pretty quick, essentially no wait. But once inside, it was very packed, and difficult to see much. Honestly, because of the crowds, I really wouldn't spend any extra money to see the arena and underground areas. The Forum was busy, with very long lines to enter, even with advanced tickets. The waiting area is in full sun, no shade, so be prepared.

Thanks for the heads up. Expect July may be even more crowded, but that was the only time that fit into our summer schedule, so we will see what we can, and then there’s always gelato! Hahaha
