Visitor tickets for Flamengo fans at Nilton Santos go on sale next Tuesday

Botafogo starts selling visitor tickets for the derby against Flamengo this Tuesday (13th), at 12pm. Red and black fans can guarantee a place at Engenhão for next Sunday's game (18), which could put Mengão in the lead of the Brasileirão.

Marketing will begin for the Nation on the same day it opens to non-members of the rival and the public general. Prices for the South sector (visitor) cost R$ 200 (full price) and R$ 100 (half price) and to purchase them simply access the official Botafogo website: botafogo.com.br/ingresso.

It is important to highlight that access to the stadium will be done exclusively through facial biometrics. Therefore, in addition to guaranteeing their ticket, red and black fans who have not yet done so are required to register on the website botafogo.bepass.com.br. The gates will open at 4:30 pm.

Exorbitant ticket prices for Botafogo x Flamengo outrage the Nation

The high ticket price for Flamengo fans caught attention, outraged the crowd -blacks and could become a legal problem. While Botafoguenses pay R$60 (full) and R$30 (half) in the North sector, the Nation will pay more than triple to be present in an equivalent sector.

In the first round, Flamengo charged R$ $80 (half R$40) for tickets for Botafogo fans who went to the South Sector of Maracanã, exactly the same price as the North Sector for red and black fans and is what determines the General Competition Regulations of the CBF (RGC).< /p>

The document states that the R$ 200 could only be charged in the South Sector if they were the same amount as in the North sector, which is not the case. Another alternative would be for it not to be an exclusive sector for red and black people, something that the Rio Military Police would never accept. Therefore, Flamengo has the right to complain and ask for an adjustment in the value.

The price of 200 reais is what Botafogo charges for its fans from the general public in the East and Lower West sectors, the closest to the field . The North and South sectors, on the other hand, are very far from the field due to the Engenhão athletics track and do not even have seats.

That is why the exorbitant prices generate revolt among the red and black people and can reduce the presence of the Nation in the match, which seems to be Botafogo's objective. This is because the maximum capacity of the visiting sector is 4,248 fans. In other words, even if you sell all the tickets at the full price, you will receive R$849.6 thousand, an amount that will be discounted and will not impact the club's finances.
