Atlético said 36,5 mil tickets had already been sold for its Copa Sul-Americana semifinal first leg against Montevideo City Torque of Uruguay, even as seats were still available before Wednesday’s 19h kickoff. The update came on the day of the match and showed demand running high for a night that still had tickets on sale.
That is why searches for Atlético-MG vs Torque are centered on tickets as much as the game itself. Prices started at R$ 29,90, sales remained open at, and children under 12 could enter through the free-child option when available or by buying a regular ticket. For fans planning to go, the latest partial was the clearest sign of how far sales had moved before the first whistle.
Atlético also adjusted the stadium layout for the match: the Brahma sectors were renamed Inferior, and the Inter sectors were renamed Superior. The change was made because of competition regulations, a small detail that matters to anyone navigating the arena on match day. It also reflects how a semifinal can reshape the usual map of the stadium even when the stands are not fully sold out.
The sales figure leaves one practical question open: how many tickets remained by kickoff. What is clear is that Atlético entered the first leg with a large crowd already committed and more tickets still being offered on the day it faced Montevideo City Torque in the Copa Sul-Americana semifinals.
