Tickets were available until Friday night (4/14), when Arena MRV announced, through their social networks, that tickets were sold out. Therefore, 9 thousand people are expected to be present in the stadium, which is the maximum capacity for the event.

When selling tickets, Arena MRV and GNV members had special preference and discounts after registering or logging into the platform.

Arena MRV, GNV Forte and Vingador members and Atlético advisors bought them at a 70% discount. Black, Silver, and White GNV members received discounts of 65%, 60%, and 50%, respectively. For the general public, tickets cost R$599, and up to three tickets per CPF were sold.

Those who bought Gallo’s home opening ticket were courtesy of the upper red sector to accompany Atlético’s debut in the Brazilian championship. Gallo will also face Vasco on Saturday, at 21pm, in Mineirão.
