with capacity for 2304 people, sector 9 is the only section of the sambódromo that has numbered seating - this allows for more comfort and more relaxed planning, but comes at about 30% extra cost as compared to other central sections without assigned seating.

called 'touristic sector', this sector is ideal for anyone who is interested in seeing the performance of a specific samba school, as the seat is guaranteed without the need of getting to the sambódromo early in the evening.

the view from sector 9 is at a perfect 180-degrees, and gets a complete view of the entire parade - thousands of people and many floats all marching at the same time.
