Official site is Parco Archeologico del Colosseo (sorry can't post the link they won't let me. All the other sites are 3rd party resellers and charge more. They also can't guarantee they have tickets. Avoid Viator/Go/TA as none of them are the official site. Also you might struggle to get tickets until close to visit day.
