Soccer game tickets at the Maracanna
Posted: Sun January 6, 2008 04:27 AM UTC

I am looking to travel to Brazil between late March and May and my main priority is a footy game at the Maracanna stadium (preferably a derby, something big). Does anyone know a website where i can book tickets?
I can be contacted at my email gavin_earley@yahoo.co.uk

buying tickrts on location is normally never a problem.
i wouldn't bother to book before arrival in rio.

I live in Rio and i dont recomend you to buy the tickts before why this will be more expensive and when you arrive here it will be easy to you.

I agree with alexander. Buy them when you´re here. They can get more than 90K people in there, so tickets in general is not much of a problem.

The "Brazileirão" will start in May, here you can find the dates:

No times and places yet though.

the brazilian league does not start untill may, but i'm sure there must be some cup games.
it's almost always possible to catch a game at maracana if you have a week in town.
