In the week that the Concordia Carnival begins, the Carnival Board stated that "we are finalizing all the details to leave the Corsódromo premises in optimal conditions. There is great anticipation for the first night," maintained Matías Soto, president of the Board, and noted that online ticket sales are progressing at a good pace. "Starting this Monday, tickets for the parade on the 21st can be exchanged, and we have people who have purchased their tickets from different parts of the country," he announced.
"The first parade will take place on January 21st, and we are coordinating with the directors of the carnival groups to have an edition of the Carnival that will mean the definitive boost for this festival to be the great artistic and tourist event of the summer," he highlighted.
Soto pointed out that "with the online sales system, people can buy their advance tickets, tables, and chairs for any of the six scheduled nights," he specified, adding that "we have received very good comments about this sales system that was implemented for this edition, because it offers many payment options to everyone and facilitates the process of acquiring tickets."
"By decision of the mayor Enrique Cresto, the Carnival Board worked on different aspects to improve the Carnival; these are improvements that will remain and allow the festival to be offered at a national level," valued Soto. Along with the online sales system, the head of the Carnival Board highlights "the conditioning of the Corsódromo, where repaving was carried out and the access and exit for the floats and artists were conditioned, among other improvements that were implemented and that can be enjoyed starting this Saturday," he invited.
"The Carnival Board made the corresponding effort so that all the carnival groups receive the prize advance, so that they can arrive at the 21st in the best way, and so we can have a great party," he added. "The Concordia Carnival is a joint effort between the Municipality and each of the carnival groups and so many residents who put a lot of effort into the days prior, and who make the Corsódromo vibrate with a unique passion every night," highlighted Soto.

In addition, until this Friday, January 20th, you can buy the Special 6-Night Pass, which allows you to get passes for the six nights of the parade at a value of $600, thus obtaining a significant discount on the final price. This pass can only be obtained at the Tourism office of the Civic Center (Mitre and Pellegrini), from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, in person.
Friday will be the last day to access this pass.
How to buy tickets
Matías Soto pointed out the different existing ticket sales methods. "Anyone, from their home, can enter www.concordiacarnaval.com.ar and can buy tickets and tables online, and pay for them directly with a credit card. Then the voucher is printed and the exchange is made at the Civic Center office," he explained.
For those who do not have a credit card, or do not want to use one, the online system allows them to print a coupon to pay in cash at Caja Mixta or at the Municipal Tax office.
At the same time, those who do not wish to use the online sales system can go to the Civic Center, or directly to Caja Mixta, where a payment coupon for their tickets is generated for each person who requests it.
Finally, it is also possible to purchase tickets with the Sidecreer card, in person at the provincial card office at 130 Mitre Street (opposite the Courthouse).
