Flamengo is back at Maracanã. After touring Brazil and being welcomed with open arms by our immense fan base across the country, this Sunday, the "Mais Querido" hosts Corinthians in Rio de Janeiro at 17 p.m. With comfort, a smooth running of the show, and the success of Mengão's return to the stadium in mind, we've prepared a guide with important information for fans.
opening of the gates
Gates open at 14 p.m. Arrive early, calmly, experience all the pre-game excitement, and prepare your throat to scream and cheer Flamengo for 90 minutes.
Gratuities
For safety reasons, the distribution of free tickets guaranteed by law will begin after the gates open on Sunday at 14 p.m., and will be limited to the physical capacity of the section. Fans arriving just before the match may not find these free tickets available. Rules regarding free tickets are at the end of this text.
Tickets
There are no more tickets for sale. A Nação put on a spectacle and sold out all available tickets in just 38 hours. Online sales were intense, but fans also put on a show by lining up at Maracanã and Gávea stadiums. Therefore, Flamengo made a point of ending online sales early and allowing dedicated Flamengo fans in line to purchase tickets. Rules regarding half-price tickets are at the end of this text.
Central sectors
Due to the late decision on the venue and the lack of certainty that the seating configuration would comply with the pre-2016 Rio Olympic Games standards, the Maracanã Mais, Lower East, Upper East, Lower West, and Reserved Seating sectors will not have assigned seats for this match. These sectors will continue to have no free seating.
