About riofootballtickets.com

riofootballtickets.com is an independent guide for visitors who want to see a football match in Rio de Janeiro, tour the Maracanã or visit the Flamengo museum. This page says who runs it, how it is paid for and where the information comes from.

Who is behind this site

The site is run by Patrick Kühne, an independent travel publisher based in Markkleeberg near Leipzig, Germany. He researches and maintains a small portfolio of guides to tours and attraction tickets, this one included. Questions and corrections reach him directly.

What this site does

Getting into a match in Rio as a visitor is harder than buying a ticket at home: the big stadiums check faces at the gate, and the club ticket portals expect a registration, sometimes with a Brazilian tax number, before you can buy. Agencies take that step off your hands. We compare their offers by transfer, club, cancellation rule and what happens when a game is moved. We are not a ticket seller; every booking happens on the booking platform.

How we earn money

When you book through one of our links, the platform pays us a commission out of its margin; your price does not change. No agreement ties us to an agency, and the tables are sorted by number of reviews, not by commission.

Where our data comes from

Prices, ratings and review counts come from the booking partners’ interfaces and refresh automatically. Transfer, clubs, cancellation and refund rules come from the product pages and are checked by hand; where a listing does not say something, we write that instead of guessing. Season dates carry the month we last checked them.

What we are not

We have no connection to any football club, to the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) or to the Maracanã stadium, and we do not sell tickets ourselves. Club names appear only to describe the matches on offer. Kick-off times and dates are set by the competition organisers and can change; the agency’s confirmation is what counts.
