Rio de Janeiro Carnival Parade Sector 9 Tickets
Why Book a Ticket in Sector 9 of the Sambadrome?
Watching the Carnival in Río de Janeiro in the Sambodrome is an experience that you have to try at least once in your life. This venue, which was built specifically for the samba school parade, consists of a 700 m (2,296 ft) long avenue flanked by bleachers, boxes, and grandstands for spectators.
With this ticket, you'll have access to Sector 9 of the Sambadrome. This area is the only section of the stands with numbered seats, offering a much more comfortable experience. This sector has incredible, complete views of the entire parade.
From your seats in Sector 9, you can enjoy the vibrant sound throughout the show, as well as admire every detail of the wonderful decoration on the floats that accompany the samba schools along the route.
Each samba school will perform for at least 65 minutes, with a time limit of 82 minutes. It'll be a unique moment!
Plus, so you can remember this one-of-a-kind experience, we'll provide a personalized Rio Carnival bag with snacks.
