Corinthians to handle Fiel ticket sales for Flamengo clash at Maracanã | OneFootball

Corinthians will be responsible for selling the tickets allocated to its fans for the match against Flamengo, scheduled for next Sunday (13) at the Maracanã, in the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. The information was released by the Rio club itself when presenting the ticket sales details for the match.

According to Flamengo, Timão purchased the entire allotment reserved for the away section. As a result, Corinthians fans interested in attending the match in Rio de Janeiro will not be able to buy tickets through the home club’s channels. Distribution of the tickets will be handled by the club from Parque São Jorge.

The expectation is that sales will take place through Fiel Torcedor. So far, however, Corinthians has not yet released the schedule, priority criteria, or prices for its fans.

Flamengo confirms Corinthians’ responsibility

When explaining how sales for away fans will work, Flamengo said it will not make tickets for Corinthians supporters available through its own system or at the stadium box offices.

“Corinthians purchased the entire allotment of tickets available for the away section. Ticket sales for this area of the stadium will be Corinthians’ responsibility. There will be no online sales on Flamengo’s website or at the box offices for the away section,” the Rio club said.

The exact number of tickets purchased by Corinthians was not disclosed. On Timão’s last visit to the Maracanã to face Flamengo in the Brazilian Championship, however, approximately 5,900 seats were allocated to away fans, a number corresponding to about 10% of the available allotment on that occasion. There is still no confirmation that the same number will be used this time.

Fiel awaits information on prices and the start of sales

In addition to the allotment for away fans, details about the purchase process are still missing. Corinthians is expected to announce later when the tickets will be made available on Fiel Torcedor and which groups will have priority.

The away fans are traditionally located in the Maracanã’s South Section. In the information published by Flamengo for the match, the listed price for the general public in that area can reach R$ 140. However, that does not necessarily mean this will be the price charged to Corinthians fans, since the specific conditions of the sales process by Timão have not yet been announced.

The arrangement repeats the procedure adopted in the last match between the teams at the Rio stadium, when Corinthians was also in charge of making the away allotment directly available to its supporters.

Corinthians has two matches before visiting Flamengo

Although information for the match at the Maracanã is already starting to be released, Corinthians still has two commitments before facing Flamengo.

The first takes place this Sunday (6) at 7:30 p.m. Brasília time, against Chapecoense at Neo Química Arena, in the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. Timão is looking to end a run of three consecutive defeats in the national competition.

Then the focus shifts to the Libertadores. On Wednesday (9) at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, Corinthians visits Estudiantes at Estádio UNO in La Plata, Argentina, for the first leg of the continental tournament’s quarterfinals.

Only after those two matches will the team turn its attention to Flamengo. The clash in the 27th round of the Brasileirão is scheduled for Sunday (13) at the Maracanã.
