How the standard combined ticket works
- Colosseum: one entry at the date and time you book. That slot is fixed.
- Forum and Palatine: one shared entry at a time you choose, on the same day or within 24 hours before or after your Colosseum slot. The ticket is also described as valid for 24 hours, so do not read it as any two days after purchase.
- Order: you can visit the Forum before the Colosseum. The Colosseum time stays binding.
- Re-entry: none. Walk through the Forum and the Palatine in one go before you leave the site.
- On your phone: the digital ticket is enough. You do not need a printout.
Regular Colosseum slots appear 30 days before the visit. Special products can have other deadlines, so check the product page when you book.
Forum Pass SUPER and the special sites
For visitors who skip the Colosseum or want the interiors.
What the pass covers
It costs €18, reduced €2, and gives one entry on the day of use, with no time slot needed. It includes the Forum, the Palatine, the Imperial Forums, the Temple of Romulus, the Curia and the Forum Museum. If you buy it online, use it within 30 days.
The SUPER sites
The core list: the lower floor of the Palatine Museum, the House of Augustus (closed Mondays), the House of Livia (closed for restoration), the Aula Isiaca with the Mattei loggia, the exhibition rooms of the Domus Tiberiana, Santa Maria Antiqua and the Horrea Piperataria. They open from about 9:30 until one hour before closing.
The Palatine →Not on the free Sunday
The pass cannot be used on the free first Sunday of the month.
The standard ticket and SUPER
Do not assume the standard ticket opens every SUPER room. Choose a Full Experience ticket or the Forum Pass if the interiors matter to you.
Free entry and discounts
Based on the park's published rules for 2026.
| Who | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Under 18 | Free | Children under 12 need an accompanying adult; bring proof of age |

Names, ID and changes
Tickets are issued in a name. Bring the ticket and a matching ID. Since 9 May 2026 you can change a ticket only once, at the latest by midnight on the seventh day before the visit. The only reasons are a clear spelling error, a wrong assignment within the same purchase or a serious, documented impediment.
Tickets for the guided evening visit follow stricter terms and cannot be changed afterwards. Check the terms of each product before you book. Keep the ticket and the ID together.
Park shop or reseller
Both exist. The difference is what you pay for.
| Park's online shop and ticket offices | Third-party offers | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | The entrance price of the ticket type | Often a package with a guide or service, so the total is higher |
| Name | Entered at purchase | Check how and when the name is added |
| Scope | Product page lists what is included | Check that the Palatine, SUPER sites and language are stated |
| Security check | Same check as everyone | Same check as everyone; a ticket does not skip it |
A tour package from another seller is not an official entrance price. If you book one, read what it includes before you pay. See the page on tours for the types.
