So cool to find your site. I went to three or four games back in 1975, and saw games with Flamengo, Vasco, Botofogo, and Flu (my favorite). I got back again in late January, 1989 and watched Fluminense win another (against whom I can't remember).

Maracana is the greatest stadium in the world!

Impressive stadium!
Cool blog too!

Hi,

My friend and I are planning to go the Fluminense vs. Grêmio game on October 26th. Is that game expected to be sold out? How long in advance should we buy the tickets?

Thanks!

Sergio said...

Hi Harsha.
At this game on 26th, you probably won't need to buy tickets in advance, because it isn't going to atract much people. (local team Fluminense isn't doing well so far at the championship). You can contact me if you feel going with a local guide.

Unknown said...

Probably a stupid question, is the game on Nov 19th at Maracana? Would I need to buy tickets in advance? What time does the game start?

Unknown said...

Same questions for the 18th of Nov.

Sergio said...

Hi Tanner.
It's not stupid!
The games you mentioned are:
18th Nov Botafogo x Goias (GO)
19th Nov Flamengo x Figueirense (SC).
Both games wil be played in Maracana, but still they haven't released yet the time of start. It will be 4pm or 6:10 pm thought. Probably it won't be necessary to buy ticket in advance.
If you need a guide to accompanying you to the game, you can contact me directly.
Thanks for visiting!

What are typical costs to games?
What are your fees?

Sergio said...

There are 2 prices you can apply for: 15R for the popular sector or 30R for the special sector (sometimes there are a 20R for a Touristic sector). But the fun is at the 15R sector.
Please contact me directly for further information on guided services.
Tour at hotels costs about 100R.

Sergio said...

Hi. Just to correct a mistake I did last post: the correct price for special sector in Maracana is 50R.
Thanks

Sergio said...

Hi Totti,
There won't be any game in Maracana during that period (5-15th January 2007). Sorry! The season starts on 24th January!
I will post here the schedule for 2007.
Best.

Unknown said...

Maybe it's something I don't understand but I have never for the life of me figured out why Fla, Flu and Fogão never got together and buy out the Maracanã from the city. I'm aware that all those clubs have had corrupt administrations in the past but still it remains that neither have had a true "home ground" except for like a small 8,000 ground in the case of Flu. I think it would have been better if there was a consortium of those three (maybe add Vasco if they no longer want the São Januario) got together and took over the Maracanã, then add executive boxes on one side, put in a modern video board and modern roof. Better yet, build a modern, badder Maracanã on the same site.

I arrive in Rio on may 2nd and want nothing mre than to see a game at the maracana but as i see things the only game left in the season is the final, is that right? and is it possible to get a tickect for the game?

Sergio said...

Hi.
On the 6th May it's the final game and tickets aren't yet on sale. It's too early. But definetely will be soldout.
The Brazilian League starts on 12th May, but they haven't released the schedule yet. It's also possible to have some game for Libertadores Cup (South American League) and Brazil's Cup.
Things aren't yet confirmed, but it seems that Maracana stadium will be closed from 7th May, to get ready to the Pan American games in July.
You can contact me directly if you feel going to a game with a local guide.
Cheers.

Hi ! We will be in Rio the first week of November...are there any games scheduled for those dates? Txs--!

pwilliams2 said...

Hey,
I are there any games around Sept 8-10, 2008? I will be in town and would love to go to a game. Also, if there is a game, would it be hard to get tickets?

Sergio said...

Hi Page,
Thanks for visiting the blog!!
During your staying in here 8-10 september 2008, there is only one game, but it's a huge game: Brazil vs Bolivia for 2010 World Cup Qualifying!!!
For that game it would be extremely hard to get tickets!!! Tickets are put on sale about 10 days before the game.
Write me directly if you need further informations!
Best Regards,
Sergio

Hi! My husband and I are big soccer fans and love your site! We arrive into Rio on Sept. 4 and will be travelling around Brazil until Sept 17th (we haven't figured out exactly where we will be going doing during those 2 weeks yet)... could you tell me what games will be at Maracana during that time? We cannot leave Rio without seeing a game! I would love to get tickets for the Brazil World Cup qualifier... where or whom can I purchase those through? Really appreciate the info! Thanks!

Sergio said...

Hi Priya,
Thanks for visiting and for the comments! I apreciated!
During your staying here we have the follow games:
06th Saturday 18:20 Fluminense RJ vs Grêmio RS at Maracana Stadium
10th Wednesday 21:50 Brazil vs Bolivia (2010 World Cup Qualifying) at Engenhao Stadium
14th Sunday 18:10 Botafogo RJ vs Internacional RS at Engenhao Stadium
As you can see, only the first game will be played at Maracana Stadium. The other 2 games will be played at new stadium called Engenhao.
For locals game it's easier to get ticket, but for Brazil game it will be really hard to get them.
Please, contact me directly at my e-mail for further information on those games.
Best regards,
Sergio
