From Grandstands to Luxury Suites: find the perfect tickets for the Rio Carnival parades!

The Sambodromo was built to provide a great show for the viewers. Each type of ticket has benefits. Sectors close to the beginning give the viewer entertain all the time, because when a school finished another is already warming up.

Tickets for the Carnival will be available for pickup at a 3 day period before carnival in our Hospitality Desk. For pickup your ticket is necessary to schedule the time, because it speeds up the process for costumers.

In order to preserve the integrity of the children's hearing system, the Juvenile Court for Children and Adolescents of Rio de Janeiro established a minimum age of 5 years old to enter the Sambadrome. Minors under 5 years old can not enter the sambadrome, even with tickets or accompanied by those in charge. Minors of 5 years old or older must be accompanied by legal guardians and must have a ticket. Do not forget to bring a document to prove their age.

The Special Group is the elite of the samba schools. The two days of the event is the highest point of Carnival and normally these schools have the most exciting sambas and the most excited fans, but the ticket value is the highest.

We depend on the samba schools and our suppliers, so normally around November we have all the costumes for sale.

The parade starts at 9:30pm and the gates of Sambodromo open at 7pm. The show is long and goes until the morning, so if you prefer to save your energy to watch the last school, we recommend you arrive later, around 9 pm. Remember that in the entrance at 7 pm and at the exit about 6 am increased the flow of people, so if you want to avoid overcrowding, choose another time.

You can take food and drinks to the Sambodromo. Just keep the limit of two 500ml plastic bottles each and two food items (chips, cookies, fruit, sandwiches, ...) per person. There selling food on local.

Yes, it’s possible, but keep in mind that like any big event, the prices are higher. Credit and debit cards are accepted.
