Botafogo is absolutely gearing up for a massive Brazilian Championship showdown against Grêmio next Wednesday, September 16th, at Nilton Santos Stadium, and if you are a fan, you need to hear about the insane ticket deals they are rolling out right now. Forget scrambling last minute, because Glorioso fans have a wild chance to snag tickets, some even for free, but you gotta be on top of it.
Your Best Bet for Botafogo vs. Grêmio Tickets
Seriously, did you see these promotions? Botafogo is making it super easy to get into Nilton Santos, especially if you are already planning to go this weekend. Anyone who buys tickets for Saturday’s September 12th match against RB Bragantino will unlock serious benefits for the Grêmio game. We’re talking one free check-in for all membership plans and Glorioso Companion members. And get this: companions from other membership categories, plus a second Glorioso companion, can snag a ticket for a ridiculous 70% discount! Even non-members who buy for the Bragantino game get a 70% off ticket. That’s a huge chunk of change saved! Just remember, these benefits drop on September 13th at 12 p.m. for the Grêmio event, and they aren’t cumulative, so pick your best path.
But wait, there’s more! If you are eyeing some new gear, listen up. Grab a 2026/27 Mizuno match jersey from their new line between September 10th and September 13th at 11:59 p.m., either in physical stores or online at the Botafogo Store website, and you’re walking away with ONE complimentary ticket for the Botafogo vs. Grêmio match. That is a sweet deal, no doubt about it.
New Rules for Game Day Access: Get Ready for Biometrics
Alright, let’s talk entry because things are changing. Access to all sections of Nilton Santos Stadium is going to be *exclusively* through facial biometrics. You heard that right. Every single fan, even if you are getting in for free, has to register their facial biometrics on the website and have an Ingresse account. This is the future, folks.
Got little ones? Children under 12 need to be registered as dependents on their guardian’s Ingresse account. And if you are a Cria+ member, you have to check in on the Ingresse website as a dependent too, once your guardian’s plan opens. Make sure you redeem that ticket in the same section as your guardian, too. It is all about smooth entry, so get this sorted early!
Who Gets In When: The Ticket Release Schedule and Pricing Breakdown
Knowing when your ticket window opens is everything if you want to be there. Glorioso Plan members get first dibs, starting September 10th at 6 p.m. An hour later, at 7 p.m., the Alvinegro Plan, Alvinegro OFF Rio, and JOIAS DO BAIRRO members can jump in. Preto and Escolhido members follow at 8 p.m., then Branco and Nossa Gente at 9 p.m. The general public gets their shot on September 11th at 12 p.m. If you are old school, in-person service opens September 15th at 9 a.m.
Ticket prices vary by section. For East Lower, it’s R$ 80 full price, R$ 40 half price, with even better deals for members (Glorioso Guest R$ 32, Alvinegro Guest R$ 40). East Upper is R$ 40 full price, R$ 20 half price, with member prices going as low as R$ 8 for Alvinegro OFF Rio.
