Rio de Janeiro Carnival Parade.
What is the difference between Access Group, Special Group and Champions Parade?
Every year, the Samba Schools compete for the title of Champion of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival. More than 90,000 people perform during the Carnival. Each School has between 4,000 and 5,000 participants. The Parade lasts 6 days and is divided into three categories:
Access Group, Special Group and Champions Parade.
Rio de Janeiro Carnival - Access Group
Tickets for these two days are significantly cheaper. Although the schools work with a smaller budget, the excitement and beauty are the same.
The best Samba Schools of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival will have the great privilege of participating in the Special Group next year.
Rio de Janeiro Carnival - Special Group
These are considered the big days of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival Parade.
The 12 best Samba Schools in Rio de Janeiro present all their creativity and innovations.
These are the true magical nights of the Sambadrome. Three nights of pure magic and fun.
Rio de Janeiro Carnival - Champions Parade
This Parade takes place on the first Saturday after Carnival.
Tonight, the 6 best Schools of the Special Group plus the Champion of the Access Group repeat their performances.
This is an extraordinary night, and they are not the most expensive tickets, great value for money.
How do I receive my tickets?
There are two categories of Tickets: Physical and Digital.
Grandstands - Digital Tickets
Grandstands and allocated chairs are in Digital format, through the official Carnival app.
Frisas - Physical Tickets
The wristbands are access bracelets and will be delivered directly to your accommodation for your convenience (South Zone, Downtown and Barra da Tijuca).
Camarotes (Hospitality boxes)
Tickets for VIP boxes must be collected at the accreditation center for each box.
Transfer to the Sambadrome
- ✔️ The best way to get to the parade with total comfort and safety is to hire our transportation service to the Sambadrome.
- ✔️ During the Rio de Janeiro Carnival period, traffic changes, so the ideal option is a private service to take you there.
- ✔️ We have free transit credentials and access to the walkway, which allows us to leave you inside the Sambadrome safely, closer than any other service
