SEATING AT SAMBADROME
Carnival In Rio de Janeiro
February 17th until February 21st, 2012

Carnival main attraction is the Samba Parade show which is something everybody has to experience at least once in life. Today the event is broadcast to dozens of countries and all Brazilian states.

10 Samba School of Access Group march on Saturday and fourteen special group schools march on Carnival Sunday and Monday, seven each day. The parade starts at 8 p.m.(time may change without previous notice) and goes on until sunlight the next day, around 6 a.m. This samba marathon is also a fierce competition.

It is important to be careful when selecting the type of ticket you are buying, as there are a large variety of seats, which are very different from each other, as well as a huge variety of prices.

A) Camarotes (mezzanine boxes) are the most coveted positions. (black area on map)

B) Frisas, located on street level, offering a very close view of the parade (available on rows A, B, C and D). All Frisas are numbered, on all sectors and each frisa sits 6 people.

C) Grandstands (bleachers) are the most reasonably priced seats. The elevated position gives you a better idea of schools as a group. Standard bleachers do not have numbered seats EXCEPT for the VIP bleachers of Sectors 9 (red area on map) are the most expensive, and have numbered seats. There aren't actual chairs to sit on - the bleachers are not much more than big concrete steps.

Depending on your client´s budget, this would be our recommendation :

1 Frisas sector 9, 11 or 7
2 Grandstands Sector 9 (numbered seats)
3 Grandstands Sector 7 (seats are NOT numbered)

The entrance gate to sector 7, 9 and 11(yellow, red and green areas on map) is the same, which is the most secured one. Blumar ´s staff will be present throughout the parade on these sectors, to help clients to their seats and with whatever they need during the parade.
