Whatever your preferred means of transportation, once you arrive at the Colosseum you will need to go to your specified entrance. The main entrance of the Colosseum is on the north-western side of the building. To pick up reserved tickets (without a barcode) you can go to the reservation desk just across the piazza at the base of the wall that separates the Roman Forum (look for the white awnings). Otherwise, have your ticket ready, show the Colosseum staff your reservation time and they will direct you to the correct security line. If you ticket specifies to use the Stern entrance, simply follow the building around to the opposite side (just keep walking and you will find it, the Colosseum is an oval after all).
