The Samba Schools that parade through the Sambodromo during Rio Carnival are members of either the Access Group or the Special Group. To move up in the ranks of the hierarchy and improve one’s standing in the broader hierarchy of Samba Schools, a school must win its Group’s title. They each represent a location or neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro and are ranked hierarchically and placed into groups, similar in structure to European Soccer Leagues. Each school fights hard to maintain their status. Samba Schools function much like European soccer. While they are glamorous spectacles decked out in sequins, feathers, costumes and dancing, one must keep in mind that they are also fierce competitions among the Samba Schools of Rio de Janeiro. The parades of Rio Carnival that take place in the Sambadrome are unique and unlike other parades around the world.
Rio de Janeiro’s most prestigious Samba Schools do everything in their power to win the support of the crowds as they compete in their march down the Samba runway executing diligently choreographed performances of song and dance. Sambadrome Parade TypesĮach night of Rio Carnival, the Sambodromo fills to capacity as Cariocas and visitors from around the world are captivated by the magic of the Samba Parades. You are allowed to move in and out of your sector freely, but re-entry is not permitted once you leave the gates of the Sambadrome.
Once you pass the gates, the lanyard must be worn at all times in order to gain entry into your sector (section). We suggest leaving your ticket in the plastic bag until you arrive at the gate to avoid any complications. If the second part of your ticket gets detached and lost, you will not gain entry into the Sambadrome. When you pick up your Sambadrome Parade ticket/s, they will come in a plastic bag as one (1) ticket attached to a lanyard, with a small segment that will be collected at the gate.
