In many previous tweets, I have stressed the importance of reserving tickets for the Colosseum. Today, I am introducing the differences between the various tickets for the Colosseum and explaining the new ticket types for January 2023. Note: Tickets cannot be refunded or changed, and it is more troublesome to buy the wrong ones, so be sure to choose the right kind of tickets.
