Types of Tickets Rio Carnival

Feel the Carnaval experience

Carnival parade in Rio de Janeiro.

What is the difference between Access Group, Special Group and Parade of Champions?

Every year the Samba Schools compete for the title of Champion of Rio de Janeiro's Carnaval. More than 90,000 people perform throughout the Carnival. Each School has between 4,000 and 5,000 participants. There are 5 days of Parades, divided into three categories:
Grupo de Acesso, Grupo Especial, and Parade of Champions.

Carnival of Rio de Janeiro - Access Group

These two days the tickets are significantly cheaper. Although the schools work with a smaller budget, the enthusiasm and beauty are the same.
The best Samba Schools of the Rio de Janeiro carnival will have the great privilege of participating in the Grupo Especial next year.

Carnival of Rio de Janeiro - Special Group

These are considered the big days of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival Parade.
The best 14 Samba Schools of Rio de Janeiro present all their creativity and novelties.
These are the true magic nights of the Sambadrome.

Carnival of Rio de Janeiro - Parade of Champions

This Parade takes place on the first Saturday after Carnival.
On this night, the 6 best Special Group Schools plus the Access Group Champion repeat their performances.
This is an extraordinary night, and not the most expensive tickets, a great cost-benefit

Ticket and shuttle to sambadrome February 2020 I purchased the tickets online from tripadvisor to pick my tickets up in Rio. The experience was excellent we picked our tickets up near our hotel on the day of the carnival and were picked up on time outside our hotel and taken to the sambadrome which was very well organised by the ticket company in Rio . The experience itself was a dream come true for my wife and I as we were celebrating our 25 anniversary and this ticked all the boxes for us We were picked up directly outside the stand area by a very well organised team outside and taken back to our hotel . We booked tickets for the stands in row 9 which were great to see the parades of schools Would recommend tripavisor and also a trip to a Brazil amazing time

Inolvidable parade of champions!!! Quedé muy conforme con el servicio. Retirar los tickets en Copacabana fue re sencillo. Elegí la opción con metro para lado par, y encontre el acceso enseguida. Si bien llovió mucho ese día, no pude irme del sambódromo hasta no ver todas las escolas del desfile de campeones. Ya estoy pensando en volver!

The Party of a Lifetime After reading some reviews on other providers, we opted to get our tickets through Viator as our trusted vendor. Purchasing was easy but pick-up could've been better. You have to locate a store in the Copacabana neighborhood and after showing them our confirmation info, they still struggled to locate our tickets. We opted for the international section, Sector 9, since neither of us speak Portuguese and we know Rio can be a dangerous place. The tickets came with roundtrip metro tickets and I'll be honest, never felt unsafe. We should've been a bit more proactive when grabbing our tickets because we followed Google maps on how to use the metro and got lost trying to locate the entrance to Sector 9. The Sambadrome is all even numbers on one side and odd on the other. We had to walk completely around the stadium which meant walking under a freeway and then up and down what seemed to be active entrance and exit ramps. Finally we located Sector 9! Please note, the international part means that 1 person at each main entrance might speak your language. Once inside you can buy cans of beer, bottled water and tons of Red Bull. Our tickets said 8pm but the first school didn't start until 10:45pm. So we stood under cover from the rain for over 2 hours. Luckily, the rain stopped and to program began. Any other frustration melted away as the pumping music started, the crowd began to cheer and out came the most dazzlingly dressed and energetic humans I've ever seen. Everyone was moving and dancing and smiling. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before and I've attended Chicago Pride when attendance capped at 800K and have done Marci Gras. Nice try but those don't hold a candle to energy of Carnival!

Impressive! We have therefore reserved tickets for the Rio carnival parade on Saturday, February 22, 2020 at the Sambodrome in the heart of the city, we must already know that after having found the ticket online, you must all retrieve it at the office made for this in Copacabana in the morning and not at the last moment and do not think that the confirmation of the purchase and the ticket in soit ! Ensuite il faut ce rendre au Sambodrome et que la fête commence ! The site indicates 20h for the beginning of the show but it doesn't really start before 22h. Bon voyage !
