Colosseum Tickets: Options Concisely Explained

Look for a website to purchase skip-the-line tickets to the Colosseum and you get hit with a tidal wave of online vendors.

In this blog post we concisely explain the principal Colosseum ticket options and where to find the official website.

If you've booked a tour of Rome with DriverInRome put your mind at ease!  We will handle pre-booked tickets for you.


Co-Op Culture: Official Website for Tickets to the Colosseum and Other Monuments in Rome


The official website for up-to-date information on the Colosseum is managed by Co-Op Culture.  On the site you can also buy tickets to the Colosseum, in addition to a wealth of other popular archeological sites, art galleries, and museums throughout Italy.

We think the best place to start searching for things is on the “Buy a Ticket” page.  It seems putting the cart before the horse, but this page gives you the option to filter by location, which is a handy way to start narrowing things down.

Once on the “Buy a Ticket” page click on “DESTINATIONS” to filter by location.

Colosseum Tickets: At-a-Glance Comparison of Ticket Types


Wading through all the options for Colosseum tickets on the Co-Op Culture website can be a bit tricky because the name of the ticket you are looking at can change as you progress from the general info section to booking.

Keep in mind that all the ticket types mentioned include entrance to the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Palatine Hill.
