Boxes Ticket – Best Seats in the entire venue!

Located on the runaway level, also known as Frisas, the Open Front Boxes are 2.4 meters by 1.7 meters, fitting six plastic chairs in each box. Divided into four rows, Row A is the closest to the Parade, while Rows B, C, and D are located right behind at more elevated levels.

These are definitely the best-assigned seats in the entire Parade. You will be able to see the little details of the floaters, choreographies, participants, and the intensity of the Drummers like nowhere else in the Sambadrome.

All Box tickets are physical tickets that require delivery.

Complimentary Delivery to the Cruise Terminal for Fred Olsen, AIDA, Azamara, Silversea, Princess & MSC Passengers.

Rio Carnival Tickets – 2027 Sambadrome Parades
.

The World-Famous Rio Carnival Parade will definitely be the Highlight of your Rio Carnival Vacation!
.
.

The Sambadrome Marquês de Sapucaí (Passarela Professor Darcy Ribeiro or Sambódromo in Portuguese) or simply Sambadrome is a purpose-built parade area in downtown Rio de Janeiro, where samba schools parade each year competitively during the Carnival. The Venue hosts 80,000 Brazilians and foreign tourists each night of the Special Group Carnival Parade (Sunday and Monday) and during the Champions Parade as well. It was built in 1984 and underwent a major renovation in 2012 for the Olympics.
.
.

The Parade is a fierce competition among local Samba Schools and began officially in 1932, although Samba Schools had been parading in the 1920s without competing.
.
.

The Carnival Parade takes place on the 5 Days of Carnival. Friday and Saturday (Access Group – Second Division) Parades winners will compete the following year in the Special Group (Sunday to Tuesday), and the Samba School from the Special Group that takes the last position will be downgraded to the Access Group the following year too.
.
.

We finally have the results on Ash Wednesday (the last day of Carnival), and the Top 6 Samba Groups will parade the following Saturday again in the so-called Champions/Winners Parade.
.
.

DoBrazilRight sells Rio Carnival Tickets for all 6 Nights of the Parade.
.
.

Since there are over 600 Street Parties spread all over the city during the 5-Day Carnival Holiday until the following weekend (Champions Parade), DoBrazilRight selected the best parties on this link. Please click here for the Street Parties Schedule.
.
.

At the end of Carnival, all Samba Schools start preparing for next year´s Carnival. It´s a full year of hard work, and they practice their routine several months in advance since they are judged on many aspects of their performance in order to win the prestigious championship and the prize of 2 million Brazilian Reais offered by the City of Rio de Janeiro.kets

 Verified Professional, friendly, courteous, reliable service from Marcelo
We felt in safe, trustworthy hands and we were well looked after. Marcelo is professional, friendly, courteous and quick to respond. One of the self employed guides we met, praised Marcelo and Do Brazil Right as the best and most ethical tour company in Rio. Marcelo's advice was very helpful in putting our plan together and everything happened exactly according to plan. We had considered a DIY visit to Rio - but when we saw all the long lines we skipped everywhere and the chaos of the Carnaval - we were very glad indeed we had booked with him and listened to his advice. The Carnaval Champions Parade was amazing and for me with a bad back and hip, I am very glad we splashed out on a good seat which Marcelo booked for us. It's a long night! Based on our experience, I would definitely recommend Do Brazil Right for a visit to Rio and the Carnaval.

 Verified HANDS DOWN BEST TOUR!!!
Hands down best service and meticulous planning! I booked the carnival itineray for my 2 elderly Chinese parents with limited english skills, they had the once-in-a-lifetime seamless smooth experience! Marcelo is prompt with response, and knowledgeable and give me the best advice to optimize trip for my budget. They got the best seats in carnival we didn't think it would be possible. Best hotel location with discount to experience the festival with ease! Saved so much money and hassle through a professional! Absolutely recommend him over and over!!

 Verified Amazing night in Sambadromo
Marcelo helped organizing tickets for Sambadromo for the elite series - tickets that are really High demand and not easy to get hold of. He was really helpful and I had an absolutely amazing experience. If in doubt do not hesitate to go to Sambadromo for the carnaval, and Marcelo does a great job to make sure you get a fantastic experience!

 Verified Best ever company!
Fantastic 2 days in Rio so well organised at a magical time to be in Rio but brings tremendous challenges with gridlocked roads and diversions often at standstill. Brilliantly managed by DoBrazilRight guide and driver. 10 out of 10 for managing itinerary to ensure we saw and did everything we planned. Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Mountain, ipanema, copacabana, city and much more. Sambadrome amazing!! Our guide was so informative, helpful, and fun. Tailored to our cruise timings. Communications fantastic. Cannot praise high enough.
