Colosseum - open tickets vs. scheduled time

[CCJack]

I am confused on Colosseum tickets. I believe I am on the official Colosseum website (coopculture.it) - they offer open tickets (good for 2 consecutive days from now until the end of the year). They also offer scheduled time and date tickets (also good for 2 days but entrance to Colosseum at a scheduled time.). They are the same price. I don't understand the benefit of having a scheduled time. I assume both tickets allow you to skip the ticket buying line, and neither allow you to skip security. Do they stop admissions when the Colosseum reaches capacity, and so an open ticket you would wait but a scheduled time you would still get in?

 

thanks.

Following. We're using All Around Italy with folks on our roll call, and were advised to get open tickets for the Colosseum.

That’s what I’m looking at now but that’s what I was thinking

I was just looking into this same thing. From what I read, there is a capacity of 3000. Once they hit that limit, no more people are allowed in until others leave. If you have a timed ticket, you would get next priority over open ticket. Im interested in belvedere sections so Im opting for the timed tickets as open cannot access that section.
