If you had a ticket to the Copa América Final on July 14, 2024 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami and were denied entry or couldn't find your seat, you may be entitled to compensation from a $14 million class action settlement. The lawsuit alleges that Hard Rock Stadium mishandled the event, leaving thousands of ticketholders unable to get in or access their assigned seats during one of the biggest soccer matches of the year — the final of the 2024 Copa América tournament. The chaos that unfolded outside and inside the stadium that night affected fans who traveled from near and far to watch the match. A settlement fund of $14 million has been established to compensate affected ticketholders. Eligible fans can potentially receive up to $2,000 per ticket, depending on what they experienced and how many valid claims are filed.

Who Was Eligible?

Who the settlement covered:

  • You held a valid ticket to the Copa América Final on July 14, 2024 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida
  • You were denied entry to the stadium despite having a valid ticket
  • You were unable to access your assigned seat during the event
  • You attended the event but experienced significant disruption to your ticketed experience
  • You are a U.S. resident (or were present at the event regardless of residency)

How Much Did It Pay?

The settlement establishes a $14 million fund to compensate affected ticketholders. Eligible claimants may receive up to $2,000 per ticket, though the exact amount each person receives will depend on the total number of valid claims submitted and the specific circumstances of their experience at the event. Ticketholders who were fully denied entry may receive a higher payout than those who experienced partial disruptions. Since this is a claims-made settlement, the sooner you file and the fewer total claims submitted, the better your chances of receiving closer to the maximum amount. The claim deadline is August 11, 2026, so there is time to gather your documentation, but don't wait too long.
