This includes but is not limited to adverse weather conditions such as rainfall, storms, floods, or congestion; strikes; accidents; fires; flight delays; avenue or access interruptions; airport closures; or similar events. Please note that the value of the packages and/or tickets will not be refunded in case of cancellation of participation of a samba school or even the cancellation of the event by authorities or by LIESA and LIERJ themselves.

Secure and Easy Ticket Pickup for Rio Carnival - Rules

At our Rio Carnival tickets company, we want to make your experience as smooth and secure as possible. Whether you prefer to collect your tickets in person at our Hospitality Desk or have them delivered to your location, we've got you covered! Below, you'll find all the essential information to ensure a hassle-free ticket purchase and pickup process:

Option 1: Ticket Pickup in Person

When picking up your tickets in person, please keep the following in mind:

1. Mandatory Documents - To ensure your security, the purchaser must present the following documents:

   • Valid picture ID or passport with a photo and signature.
   • If you made a credit card purchase, bring the original physical credit card used in the transaction, along with the confirmation number from your voucher.
   • Please note that copies, photographs, scans, print screens, or any other formats will not be accepted. Only original documents are valid.

2. Credit Card Security - For verification purposes with credit card companies, we may photograph the requested documents, excluding the Card Security Code (CSC), if necessary.
   
   Note: These requirements are in accordance with the best practices recommended by credit card companies, which are in place for security reasons and are therefore mandatory for receiving the tickets. We reserve the right to photograph the requested documents, while keeping the Card Security Code (CSC) private, for later verification of purchase with credit card companies, if necessary.
   
   

Option 2: Pick Up by a Third Party

If you are unable to pick up the tickets personally, you can authorize a third party to do so, if conditions are in compliance with Bookers International's terms and conditions. Here's what you need to do:

1. Inform in Advance - Please inform our agents in advance about the third party who will collect the tickets on your behalf.

2. Required Documents - Our agents will provide all the necessary information regarding mandatory documents that must be submitted and reviewed. Typically, a copy of the credit card and the credit card holder's photo ID or passport are required, along with a credit authorization form and a signed third-party authorization. These documents can be requested by emailing us at [email protected].

   Note: Third-party pick-up is not allowed for certain tickets, including Luxury Suite, Folia Tropical, and Super Folia when purchased with credit cards or reversible payment methods.
   
   

 Option 3: Special Delivery Service

For your convenience, we offer a special delivery service within Rio de Janeiro's tourist regions, including Barra da Tijuca, the South Zone, and Centro. Follow these guidelines for a smooth delivery process:

1. Delivery Fee - A delivery fee of US$30 per ticket, up to US$120 for orders of 4 or more tickets, will be charged.

2. Provide Exact Address and Schedule - During the checkout process on our website, make sure to provide the exact delivery address and schedule a suitable date and time for delivery.

3. Delivery Conditions - Please be present at the chosen address and within the scheduled time range to receive the tickets and sign the delivery receipt.

Remember to follow these instructions carefully to ensure the successful delivery of your tickets.

 ⚠️ Important Information

• Tickets will only be handed out to the credit card holder or a third party authorized in advance if conditions are in compliance with Bookers International's terms and conditions.
• We reserve the right to request additional documentation for proof of purchase, and failure to provide the requested documents may lead to purchase cancellation, at Bookers International's own discretion.
• Unanswered requests, whether by email, chat, or by any other means, or failure to follow delivery instructions may result in cancellation or reselling of purchased items, without refunds for undelivered tickets.
• If you have chosen ticket delivery, please note that the agent will wait for a maximum of 10 minutes after arriving at the address to obtain the buyer's signature. If the buyer or the designated individual fails to sign the receipt, or if there are any circumstances such as unavailability, absence at the address, lateness, refusal to sign, or an incorrect/unidentifiable address, the tickets will be returned to our Hospitality Desk at Copacabana. They will remain available for pickup until 12 noon on the day of the event. However, after 12 noon, we reserve the right to resell the tickets. Please be aware that no refunds will be issued for tickets that are not picked up for any reason.
  
  

  Transfers

If you require transfer services, we partner with Aliança Turismo to provide reliable transportation. Here's what you need to know:

• Transfer guides will meet you at the hotel lobby/reception or the designated meeting point at the scheduled time.
• Guides will be easily identifiable by their orange-sleeved white t-shirts, with Aliança's name written on the t-shirt, and carrying orange flags.
• We always recommend that you arrive at least 10 minutes early in the hotel lobby/reception or meeting point so that when your transfer arrives you are ready to board.
• Because it is divided into routes, the transfer can be a few minutes late, without affecting the arrival time at the Sambadrome.
• You must wear the transfer badge you will receive together with your tickets to board on the way to and back from the Sambadrome. The loss or damage of the badge may cause you to be denied boarding.
  
  
• Returning from the Sambadrome: After each samba school parade, there will be a transfer available to take you back to the same hotel or place where you originally boarded. When inside the Sambadrome, please proceed to the designated meeting point that was agreed upon with the transfer guide and carefully follow their instructions. It's important to note that the end of the last samba school parade is a particularly busy time for transfer departures. The last transfer will leave 30 minutes after the parades conclude. Therefore, if you wish to stay until the very end, make sure to head directly to the meeting point as soon as the last samba school finishes performing in your sector. Please be aware that the transfer will not wait for latecomers and cannot be held responsible for anyone who misses the final departure time. No refunds will be provided under any circumstances if customers fail to comply with the instructions outlined in these terms or if they miss their scheduled transfer.
  
  

  Final Policies to Consider

  Refunds of hotel/travel packages: Unused hotel reservations and tours may be refundable under certain circumstances and policies beyond our control. All requests for refunds must be made by email no later than 45 days prior to travel. Refund policies can vary by hotel and/or service provider. Some hotels may apply special conditions in addition to normal policies, such as the mandatory minimum stay or non-refundable prepayment, as this is a special Carnival period. 

  Travel Insurance: Important: Bookers International recommends all travelers consider buying Travel Insurance.  In times of Covid-19, it’s a wise decision to purchase some form of travel insurance before your trip.

  At Bookers International we recommend ASSIST-CARD. They are one of the largest travel insurance companies and they provide round-the-clock travel assistance. There is an enhanced cancellation benefit.

  To get information on the different insurance product packages available to you through ASSIST-CARD, please ask for a FREE insurance quote for your trip.

  City Tax: Some hotels may charge City Taxes of approximately US$3 per day per room. 4 and 5-star hotels normally charge US$3 dollars per day per room while 2 and 3-star hotels charge US$1 for the same period. These taxes cannot be collected outside Brazil. The taxes will be included in your hotel charges and will be payable to the hotel upon checkout. 

  Final Payment: Full payment is due 60 days prior to the date of check-in or the provision services date. All packages are subject to price and availability changes until paid in full. Hotel vouchers will be sent only when full payment has been received. 

  Travel package Revisions and Cancellations: If the customer needs to change their travel plans after booking, certain restrictions may apply. Cancellations, changes, and refunds vary by hotel and tour and transfer provider policies. Some special periods, such as Carnival, have different policies.
