For an event of this size, we do not recommend arriving at the last minute.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ingressos\">Tickets and Quentro<\/h2>\n<p>Ticketmaster states that tickets are <strong>exclusively digital<\/strong> and must be activated in the Quentro app. Do this before leaving home and keep the ticket loaded on your phone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketmaster.com.br\/event\/nfl-2026-general-sale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>\u2192 View the official NFL Rio Game page on Ticketmaster<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"como-chegar\">How to get to Maracan\u00e3<\/h2>\n<p>Maracan\u00e3 is served by the metro and train.
