Rock in Rio Pre-Sale Sells Out in Under Two Hours

Overview

• The restricted pre-sale opened for Itaú cardholders and Rock in Rio Club members on Tuesday, June 2, and organizers said all festival-day tickets were sold out in less than two hours.
• Ticketmaster handled sales for the pre-sale and many buyers reported virtual queues of up to about 90 minutes before access and purchases could be completed.
• Published prices are R$870 full and R$435 half-price with a 15% discount for eligible Itaú customers (R$739.50), payment by PIX or card, no service fee, and a limit of four tickets per CPF with one half-price ticket per person per day.
• Rock in Rio Card holders must assign their card to specific dates by noon on June 8 and the general public sale is set to begin at 19:00 on June 8, when broader access to remaining inventory will be determined.
• The sellout reflects demand for a lineup headlined by Foo Fighters, Elton John, Calvin Harris and Maroon 5 and raises the risk of platform congestion, resales and travel-planning pressure for fans who still need tickets.
