We had tickets arranged for the Flamego match this Saturday but I'm out of town until early evening so I have had to turn them down. Is there any chance of getting tickets at the ground just in case we get back early?

normally yes.
i have been to maracana several times and always just turned up at the gate and bought them there.

Flamengo and Vitoria will play at 18:30Hs (brazilian hour). The game will be played at Engenhão Stadium.
The brazilian soccer championship is just starting. I believe you have a chance to get tickets and be present at Engenhão. Heading to Engenhão stadium you may search for tickets. There are some post selling ticket set in Rio where you may search for it.
Try to find these posts at the site www.globo.com.br and open the "Esportes" flap. You will watch a list of selling authorized places in Rio to soccer enthusiasts.
