Brazilian residents will get their next chance to buy tickets to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games when the first-come-first-served online sales phase begins on at 10am Tuesday (20 October).
As well as tickets left over after the first phase – which featured two draws – the new phase will offer tickets to sessions that were previously sold out. These will be tickets that have been returned by fans, via the official ticket resale programme, or by international sports organisations and sponsors.
To take part in the first-come-first-served online sales phase, fans must have a Brazilian CPF number and permanent address in the country. Those who wish to take part are advised to register their details on the ticket portal in advance.
Overseas fans should enter into contact with the authorised ticket reseller (ATR) in their territory. Click here to see the list of ATRs for the Olympic Games.
