Official sales for Carnaval SP 2027 are underway.
Identified by Liga-SP as the official and exclusive ticket sales partner.
Some sectors may sell out earlier than others. Check live availability before planning around a specific ticket.
How São Paulo Carnival Tickets Work
You do not need a ticket simply to experience São Paulo Carnival. The city’s street Carnival and its blocos are separate from the ticketed samba-school competition at the Anhembi Sambadrome.
A Sambadrome ticket is for a particular parade event and viewing area. Before purchasing, decide which competition and parade date you want to attend, check which samba schools are scheduled that night and compare the ticket categories and sectors currently available.
This distinction is particularly important for international visitors. Searching online for “Brazil Carnival tickets” can produce official tickets, travel packages, hospitality products and third-party offers. They are not necessarily the same product.
If your goal is simply to obtain admission to the official São Paulo samba-school parade, begin with the ticket channel designated for Carnaval SP. Packages and hospitality products should be evaluated separately according to what they actually include.
Liga-SP identifies Clube do Ingresso as the official and exclusive company responsible for physical and digital Carnaval SP 2027 ticket sales. Using the official channel also gives you the most relevant place to check current sectors, prices and availability.
Official Ticket WebsiteWhere to Buy São Paulo Carnival Tickets
Start with Liga-SP or its designated official ticket partner rather than an unknown reseller, social-media account or marketplace. Carnival imagery, a professional-looking website or an advertisement does not by itself establish that a seller is authorized.
If you encounter an offer that appears inconsistent with the official sales information, verify it before paying. This becomes particularly important when high-demand sectors become difficult to find.

Sambadrome Tickets vs São Paulo Street Carnival
Visitors sometimes assume one Carnival ticket provides access to everything. São Paulo’s ticketed parade competition and its citywide street Carnival should instead be treated as different experiences.
Anhembi Samba Parades
The organized samba-school competition takes place at the Anhembi Sambadrome. Spectators need the appropriate ticket for their chosen parade date and viewing area.
Street Carnival & Blocos
São Paulo’s official street Carnival takes place across the city and is separate from Sambadrome admission. You do not buy an Anhembi parade ticket simply to attend the public street Carnival.
São Paulo Carnival 2027 Ticket Dates
Different competition groups parade on different dates. If there is a particular samba school or competition you want to watch, choose the correct date before selecting your sector.

São Paulo Sambadrome Ticket Types
Ticket categories and availability vary by parade date. Always check the official ticket platform for the exact options offered for your chosen night.
Arquibancada — Grandstand
Grandstand tickets provide the large-scale spectator experience along the parade avenue. Different sectors correspond to different positions within the Sambadrome, so compare the official map before selecting a sector.
Trackside Chairs
Cadeira de Pista options provide a different viewing format closer to parade level. Availability, position and pricing depend on the specific event and sales inventory.
Trackside Tables
Mesa de Pista options may be offered for certain parade nights, providing a table-based viewing arrangement rather than conventional grandstand admission.
Camarotes
Hospitality and box-style experiences may include additional services. Inclusions can differ considerably, so confirm the location, organizer, services, entry conditions and age rules before purchasing.
Which São Paulo Carnival Ticket Should You Choose?
There is no single ticket category that is right for everyone. Consider how you want to experience the parade as well as your budget and available inventory.
Grandstand
A straightforward choice for visitors seeking the atmosphere of a large Sambadrome crowd. Compare sector positions before purchasing.
Trackside Chairs
Consider this format if you prefer a lower-level viewing arrangement. Position and availability should be checked for your specific night.
Trackside Tables
Suitable for visitors specifically interested in a table-based trackside arrangement where this category is offered.
Camarotes
Consider hospitality products if additional services matter to you, but compare exactly what each product includes before paying.
Your Sector Matters
The samba schools travel along the Sambadrome parade avenue. Different ticket sectors therefore place spectators at different positions along the route. A sector number is not merely an administrative detail: it identifies where your viewing area is located.
Understanding Sambadrome Sectors
Do not choose a ticket only by category or price. Review the current official map and understand where the available sector is located.

How Much Are São Paulo Carnival Tickets?
There is no single São Paulo Carnival ticket price. The amount can vary according to parade night, sector, ticket category, current sales lot, applicable discounted-admission conditions and availability. For that reason, this guide does not publish a fixed price table that could quickly become outdated.
Check Current Official PricesTo estimate accommodation, transport, meals and optional expenses alongside your ticket, see our São Paulo Carnival Costs & Budget guide.
Demand for major Carnival nights can be high. Do not assume that a social-media seller, marketplace listing or website using official- looking Carnival imagery is authorized. Begin with the official sales channel and verify questionable offers before transferring money or providing payment details.
Sambadrome Ticket vs Carnival Package
International visitors may encounter both straightforward parade tickets and commercial Carnival packages. They should not be treated as interchangeable.
Sambadrome Ticket
A standard ticket provides admission according to its stated parade date, sector, category and conditions. You do not need to buy a travel package simply because you want to attend a samba-school parade.
Carnival Package
A commercial package may combine admission with transfers, hospitality, accommodation, guides or other services. Compare the actual inclusions, provider and total cost before deciding whether the additional services are useful to you.

Buying São Paulo Carnival Tickets from Abroad

Enter purchaser information exactly as requested by the official sales system, review the payment methods offered during checkout and retain your purchase confirmation. Once purchased, make sure you understand where the valid digital ticket will appear and how it must be presented.
