Hi Elyssa, This was fabulous. Thank you so much. I so remember the days that every site was free to just walk up and buy a ticket. Also, you could walk to the Colosseum FROM the Forum once inside, and so it was not another ticket. There was a time when The Pantheon was a free site (because it is a church). But of course, I understand the need to charge to help the Government run. You are the best! Grazie mille ❤❤❤

Hi Terry and thanks as always for your kind support. I am so glad you enjoy my videos! Yes, many Romans tell me how the Roman Forum was actually free and you could just wander in and out. Now that Alessandro and I have bought our Parco Colosseo membership cards (50 Euros for 1 person, 80 for 2, good for one year unlimited access to the Colosseum, Forum, Palatine), we pop into the Roman Forum often, like when it used to be free. You might want to get this card since you come to Rome so much!

Hi Alyssa, Thank you so much for this. Last June I tried through their website to book a Coop Culture Coliseum Night Tour. As you say, I found no tickets available for the coming days. I ended up purchasing our guided night tour tickets through another vendor but I was disappointed because I had really preferred a Coop Culture tour guide. However, when we arrived for the tour we were delighted to find a Coop Culture guide was provided for our group. Not sure this is how it always works? Anyway, our guide was superb! It all worked out in the best way.
@Romewise
@Romewise Жыл бұрын
I'm glad you were able to buy tickets for the night tour and glad you had a guide you enjoyed! When you book a night visit to the Colosseum, a Colosseum employee must accompany you on the tour (CoopCulture does not have guides. They are only a ticketing agency.) So if you book this directly through CoopCulture, your only guide will be the Colosseum employee. If you book this through a tour agency, a licensed guide from that company will come with you because they give you a more complete tour, often talking about the areas near and outside the monument itself. however, even on that tour, once you enter the Colosseum for the night visit, you will have to still be guided by the Colosseum employee.

I wrote wrong email address, so I did not get tickets. 😂 Luckily, I had a screenshot of payment, sent Coopculture an e mail and got my tickets. 🤗 One question not related to Colosseum-do you have any suggestions on how early it is necessary to arrive at the Fiumicino airport before the flight?
@Romewise
@Romewise Жыл бұрын
That's great that you were able to get the tickets you wanted! And despite some issues with CoopCulture, they are great at fixing glitches like the one you experienced. In answer to your other question, you should arrive at FCO at least 2 hours prior to your flight if the flight is within Europe, and at least 3 hours before an international or overseas flight.

Hello Alyssa, I found this video very useful. Thanks for the detailed information. I´m going to visit Rome in first week of April for the first time and I going to book full experience ticket. But I have two doubts about it....first one is.. is it having skip the line benefit and second doubt is that... is it going to be a guided tour?
@Romewise
@Romewise Жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching and for your comments. All Colosseum tickets are "skip the line" because it is no longer possible to purchase tickets on site. However, everyone has to go through security, and you cannot skip THAT line. As I mention in the video, yes, when you visit the Underground or Arena, you will at the very least be accompanied by a Colosseum staff member. But you can ALSO pay a bit more for the more complete guided tour.

First of all, as I mentioned, you cannot get them this far in advance for March. But you will be able to start looking for them, as mentioned below, about a month closer to your arrival date. Second of all, please note that end of march is not low season. And if this past year is any indication, it's hard to predict when things might be quiet, so I would count on crowds and plan accordingly. Thanks so much for your kind comments and for watching my videos!

I read the tickets tend to come out at different times of the day, usually in conjunction with the time of entry: so, tickets for 11am entrance come out at 11am Rome time. Is that the best way? I'm intending to visit the underground in 16/10 or 17/10. Do the tickets pop up at full time, like 09:00, 10:00, 11:00 or it can be at any moment? Thank you very much!!

Thanks for letting me know my video helped you get the ticket you want! As for security, it can take up to half an hour to wait in line and go through the metal detectors and security belt (airport style), but usually should take less than that. I would arrive at least half an hour before your appointment time and give yourself that cushion. If you arrive inside a little early, you can use the restroom if you need to, and also walk around a little bit before you meet your guide.

Hello Alyssa, very useful video! I´m going to visit Rome for the first time and I have a doubt about the full experience ticket that is valid for 2 days: Is there a order of visiting? I mean, must I have to visit first the Colosseum and the next day the Roman Forum? Or I can just decide what to visit the first day? Another question: is it possible to visit during the same day the Roman Forum/Palatine and the SUPER sites? I would be very greatful if you answer me those questions.

Thanks for your kind comments. As I mention in the video, with the Full Experience ticket, you must visit the Colosseum on the date and time you book, then the Roman Forum/Palatine can be visited the day prior, the same day, or the day after your colosseum visit. You ONLY get one visit to the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill, so make sure to plan well to see all the sites and SUPER sites you want to see on that one visit. There is no re-entry.

Co op probably works in partnership with agencies. On the day when the next day is made available, booking is impossible for the opening moment, and the day is blocked for about 10-15 minutes. After the time when the key hours for the agency are booked, the website is unblocked for outsiders. Then most of the tickets are already booked and you have to wait for the agencies to release the tickets in a situation where they do not sell their tickets more expensive or customers change their minds. Then tickets for individual hours become free during the day, but also quickly disappear due to the reservations of ordinary people.

Yes, it's true, it's a bit of a mess. That's why I made this video, to try to explain why it's so difficult. The reality is that no matter who manages the tickets, CoopCulture or some other company, there is the issue of supply and demand. With more and more people visiting Rome all the time, there is just a lot of demand, and for some things like the underground, there is a matter of limited space. I realize it is frustrating! Some day we may get a new company managing tickets but it's not clear if it will get any easier to get tickets directly, especially in high season.

I suspect you may be right. I'm seeing ticket schedules become unavailable before the time they should be available in the site. For example: It's 9:30am, and I see there is a ticket option at 10:30am. However, at around 9:45 that ticket option disappears from the availability schedule table. So, the conclusion is that tickets seem to be "being sold" before the time they should come out online, which in this case should be 10:30am. It may be that there is an explanation for this, but so far my experience is aligned with yours. In other words, it seems the public gets access to the "ticket scraps" that were not taken or snatched by bots or private providers. At least that's also my perception.

Thank you! Yes, when I made the video, it was a little easier to get standard tickets, even through resellers by paying a bit over the regular price. Resellers are no longer selling just tickets because there was a ruling against this so now they can only sell them bundled with something else like an audio guide, another site, or a tour. So getting standard tickets with nothing else is more difficult than ever, still due to supply and demand. The only way to do it is to show up and wait in long lines or to sit in front of your computer refreshing the screen until something pops up. I strongly recommend purchasing a tour, because it takes away the hassle, plus I really think taking a tour of these sites is a good idea since there is so much history to know.

You can only access the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill during normal hours and in their regularly visited spaced.

I went in today with 9.15am on the ticket. They let us in at 9.08am. There was no one in the queue as they just let in the 9am bunch. The queue is basically security, slapping a sticker on you and directing you down a divided walkway depending on what you paid for. We got to the meeting point inside at 9.14am and there was a group there (30+). They were ushered away as a staff checked my ticket and I realised they were the 9am group and the staff said 'you are 9.30am' (it's printed as 9.15am). So basically the ticket allows 15 mins to get through security if that makes sense. I was first there and then the rest arrived and the experience got going at 9.30am. Finishing the day at 2pm there was in fact now big queues at the security area but I imagine they move relatively fast. Didn't stick around.

The line is for security. As I mentioned, there is really no "skip the line" ticket because all tickets must be purchased in advance and everyone must go through security. And since the tickets are timed, and they regulate how many visitors can be inside at a given time, you will find the line to be about the same throughout the day. But my preference for just about any site in Rome is to go towards closing time as there tend to be somewhat fewer people then. Have fun!

Hi Elizabeth, The Coopculture Colosseum tickets are becoming even more elusive. Even the full experience tickets with the arena only are hard to obtain. I am considering buying the 30 day Forum and Palatine ticket and see the Colosseum on May 7 (the free day). If I would get in line at 8:30AM, do you think I would avoid the worst crowds?

Hello Jack and thanks for watching. If you go to the Colosseum at 8:30 on the Free Sunday in May, I truly believe you can expect about a 2 hour wait. The Colosseum opens at 9 AM, and May is peak season. So if you really want to get at the front of a line on a free Sunday, you'd need to come much earlier than 8:30 AM. You might want to try later in the day, closer to closing, but if the lines I've seen lately in February and March are any indication, there will be huge lines and long waits throughout the day. If what you want is to see the SUPER sites, and also JUST the Colosseum (not the full experience), then I suggest purchasing the Forum SUPER ticket and enjoying that on its own day. Then purchase a Colosseum normal entry ticket and go at that time so you don't have super long waits to get in, just the normal wait to go through security.

Yes I have the Parco Colosseo membership card and I love it because I get a lot of use out of it. Anyone can purchase this card. It gives you one year's free entry to the Roman Forum/ Palatine Hill AND access to all the SUPER sites there. It also gives you free access to the Colosseum and Underground however for the Colosseum, you must still book (even if it's a free ticket for membership holders. Space is limited.) I use it a lot to walk around the Palatine Hill because I live nearby but even if you are a tourist, if you will use it to visit these sites more than once during your stay, it can be worth it. Just note this is not a way to get easy access to the Underground, as you must still book this like anyone else.

Hi Alyssa, I am planning a trip to Rome in August. How far in advance should I book the colosseum underground tour? It's not available on the coop, so I probably will have to book with a 3rd party.

As I mention in the video, you can't book it this far in advance through CoopCulture, but you can book it now with a 3rd party. Just know that you are booking a "future" and they don't have tickets yet but are planning to get them for you.

Couldn't have done it without this video! Everyone needs to watch it. Thanks! ❤. Our 9.15am trip went very well today, got to see the underground. Was only 4 people with individual tickets so the staff member told us little bits, as the tours mulled around us they had to accompany. They were so kind, and it was amazing. Saw 4 of the 7 super sites afterwards, they were like finding a needle in a haystack 😂 but some legs had gone by that time anyway 😂

Wow, how did you catch the tickets? Congrats! I'm literally living on this website and still didn't understand how it works. I thought I will see available tickets month before the day I need, but I'm not sure already it works this way. All the days are red, two times maybe three I saw available time always the same 17:15. I makes me feel crazy.

@@olgasharlay It was on the Coop culture official ticket website. They release at times kind of randomly, so you need to keep refreshing. The full experience are usually all sold within 1-2 minutes but you can put it in the basket for 15 minutes reserve if quick enough. The other couple in the group also said they refreshed the website all day. Meanwhile the arena ticket availability normally lasts on there about an hour to a few hours before they sell out. My full exp ticket for 9.15am was bought at 11am ish, (I was hitting refresh from 9am onwards so was probably lucky it only took 2 hours), and they release all tickets one month before the visit date, all May 2 tickets are sold on April 2 for example. Hope you get the ticket you need 😀🤞

@@YGOWales you are so lucky😊. After 2 hours on website, updating every minute..I saw available tickets once like one second and I just gave up. 😭 But I bought a regular one, it was also very tricky. I tried like 15 times. Thanks a lot. I hope this information would be useful for everyone.

Yes, it's true - Rome has gotten more crowded and more expensive. It's also true that people are flocking to Italy since things have reopened up and it looks like this year, the tourism numbers will even surpass last year. It's also true that until several years ago, it was free to enter the Roman Forum, but now there is an entry fee. I hope despite all this, you will enjoy your next visit to Rome!
