HOW YOU'LL GET YOUR TICKETS:
To reserve tickets for visiting the Colosseum, just fill out the booking form, give us a preference for date and time (dates are in European DD/MM/YYYY format), supply us with credit card details, and we'll do the rest. There will be no charge whatsoever until we confirm your reservation. We'll then point you to our secure page, where you can print out your entry voucher. Print it out, take it with you to the Colosseum and present it at the ticket desk ... they will swap it for your entry ticket. As simple as that!
You won't have to join any queues (there is a special pick-up desk for internet tickets - see our blog post, with photographs, here), but nonetheless we'd advise you to arrive 15 minutes before your entry time.
PLEASE NOTE: You must present yourself at the time specified on your booking voucher - admittance will not be granted at other times.
Please also be prepared to show some ID - It is sometimes difficult
for Italian officials to understand that not all countries require
their citizens to carry ID cards, if indeed they are issued in said
countries at all. You will often find that nothing other than a
Passport
or Driving Licence (with photograph) will suffice. A site you may
find useful for your Rome hotel search is ahotelinitaly.com.
