I'll be in Rio next week and would like to go to a game at Maracana on either Saturday, Sunday or Monday (October 11-13). Does anyone know a website with game schedules? Also, where should I buy the tickets?

If anyone wants to meet and go to the game, that would be great too!

Thanks
Mark

You can buy the tickets at Maracana stadium.I recommend you for not buying the tickets on the streets in front of Maracana.Be there at least one before the game.I also recommend you to use the subway.
See you!

Hello, Mark!

The only match in Maracanã by that time is on October 12, as MexTraveler already mentioned it.
http://oglobo.globo.com/especiais/brasileiro/tab_10.asp?op=2&sop=1

Accoding to the Flamengo official site, tickets are being sold at:
- Posto BR do Itanhangá (Barra)

- Posto BR Piraquê:
Avenida Borges de Medeiros (in front of Jockey Clube)

- Posto BR Jardim Oceânico

- Posto BR CEFET

- Fla Boutique
Praça Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora Sede do Clube de Regatas do Flamengo
Gávea - Rio de Janeiro
Brasil
CEP 22441-050
Phone: (21) 2288-0917
E-mail: flaboutique@flaboutique.com.br

Price of the ticket (I read somewhere it was R$ 5) + 1 kilo of rice or beans for Fome Zero "Hunger Campaign" (food to be donate on the day of the match at the stadium).
