It was simple. It does take a little bit to get the Mobil tickets since they need to check your passport info for the tickets. We did it the day before we went and it worked out perfect.

It's a really nice place to visit, especially including the Roman forum and the Palatine hill.Also it's convenient to leave 30 minute window from the hour of reservation till the time of coming, cause it's not that easy to find out where is the entrance,also I had two documents one is the receipt for the tickets and then the tickets in self which was a little confusing but I've managed to get it.Overall if you have the time for one place to visit at Roma visit the Colosseum, it took us(it was a family trip) less than 3 hours.
