This is the second time I am going to the Colosseum and it is such an out-of-this-world structure. Having already been inside and with the full tour, I did not brave the lines as it was also a rainy … Full review by Daz A

Q:
We will be in Rome on a Sunday and Monday. We will have to visit the Colosseum on Sunday and it happens to be the first Sunday of the month. I just found out that first Sundays are free admissiont to the Colosseum (probably not the best day, but that's what it is). I was wondering if anyone know if it is still possible to book online for the first Sunday of the month, or if tickets are only available at the site on a first come first serve basis. Appreciate any help or suggestions.

There are no advance tickets on first Sundays - you queue up and wait in line to enter. Be aware that many of the "extra" areas of the Colosseum are closed on that day - the …

There are no advance tickets on first Sundays - you queue up and wait in line to enter. Be aware that many of the "extra" areas of the Colosseum are closed on that day - the Underground, the Arena Floor, and the Attic (Upper Levels) are all closed. Further, the Super Sites in the Roman Forum + Palatine Hill are also closed on that day.

Q:
Come alternativa al tour con guida (sono con figli al seguito e andremo molto piano) e all'app (che mi pare non molto affidabile) è possibile noleggiare le classiche audioguide?

You don't indicate which app you are talking about. I will assume you are talking about the park's MyColosseum app. Besides the official app, there are several other apps to download audioguides - both paid and free. One popular free app is Rick Steves. If you would rather pay for one, Context Tours allow you to download audioguides of various attractions for a fee. Regarding the physical devices, the last I heard they were still available on site but they were planning on phasing them out.

No ticket will allow you to visit all areas of the Colosseum. The general admission ticket allows you to visit Level 1 and Level 2. There are various Full Experience tickets - the Attic (Levels 3, 4 and 5), the Underground (Level 0) and the Arena Floor. Those tickets allow you to visit one of those areas (the area named on the ticket) plus the general admission areas.

You really haven't provided enough info because for some ticket types, you are supposed to reserve free kids tickets in advance. But let's assume that you selected a ticket option where you don't reserve them in advance such as the general admission tickets. On that ticketing page, there is a note which indicates where to pickup the free kids tickets. There are a few different options - the wait time at one of them will be no more than 3 or 4 minutes...however, if you choose one of the other pickup points, the wait time could be longer.
