Which Colosseum ticket to choose: 24h, Full Experience, Forum Pass

The park’s box office sells several tickets, and they differ in what you actually get to see. Here is what each one covers, from the box office catalogue as of September 2026.

24h: the Colosseum plus the Forum and Palatine

The standard ticket costs €18. It gives entry to the Colosseum at the time you book, plus the Roman Forum and Palatine archaeological area and any exhibitions running there. As the name says, it is valid for 24 hours.

You walk the public levels of the amphitheatre. The arena floor, the underground and the top tier are not included.

Full Experience: arena, underground or upper tier

Full Experience tickets cost €24 and add one restricted area to the standard visit, each at its own booked time: the arena floor; the underground together with the arena; or the attic, the highest level of the building.

For the underground the box office stresses arriving on time: the entry time is fixed. These tickets have their own, smaller quotas, so a day with no 24h tickets can still have Full Experience places, and the other way round.

There is also “24h Only Arena” at €18: according to the box office, a 20-minute visit to the arena floor at the booked time, plus the Forum and Palatine.

Only the Forum and Palatine

Forum Pass SUPER costs €18 and covers the Roman Forum, the Palatine, the Imperial Fora and the sites the park groups under the name SUPER. It does not include the Colosseum.

Holders of the 24h ticket can add the SUPER sites for €4.

Can I see the underground with the standard ticket?

No. The underground is sold only as a Full Experience ticket with a fixed entry time.

Which tickets does ColosseumGo book?

For now, only the 24h ticket: we check its availability against the box office every half hour. We do not sell Full Experience yet, because its places are counted separately and we would rather not promise a place we cannot see.

Are these prices final?

They are the box office prices as of September 2026. The park can change them; the price shown on the booking page is always the current one.

Every ticket is issued in the visitor’s name. A name can be corrected once, no later than midnight seven days before the visit.
